VERS. XLV.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

And so it is written, &c.

OF the former no doubt is made, for it is written Gen. XI. 7. But where is the lat∣ter? Throughout the whole sacred book: thence the Jews speak so many things and so great of the Spirit of Messias, and of Messias quickning.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The last Adam was made a quickning Spirit.

Job XIX. 25. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand in the latter day upon the earth. Job seems to me in this place in the words, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 to speak in the same sense with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, The last Adam. Of the former Adam it was said, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return. And I know, saith Job, that my Redeemer liveth; and he shall arise from the dust another, or a latter; and I shall see the Lord made of the same flesh that I am of, &c. Intimating the Incarnation of the Messiah.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. A quickning Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord moved upon the face of the waters, Gen. I. 2. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 This is the Spirit of King Messias. So the Jews speak very frequently. And also, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Messias shall quicken those that dwell in the dust.

It cannot be past over without Observation, by what authority Paul applies those words of Psal. XCII. Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, &c. to the Mes∣sias, Heb. I. 10. to prove his Deity and dignity. But thou art deceived, O Paul would a Hebrew say, These words are to be applied to God the Father, not to the Messias. The Apostle hath what to reply from the very confession of the Jewish Nation; You acknow∣ledge that Spirit which was present at, and president over the Creation, was the Spirit of the Messias.

It ought not also be past by without observation, that Adam, receiving from him the promise of Christ; and believing it, named his wife Chava, that is, Life. So the Seven∣ty, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. And Adam called his wives name Life, Gen. III. 20. What? Is she called life, that brought in death? But Adam perceived 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, The last Adam, exhibited to him in the Promise, to be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, A quickning Spirit; and had brought in a better life of the Soul, and at length should bring in a better of the body. Hence is that Joh. I. 4. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, In him was life.
