Ver. 38. Which was the Sonne of Adam, which was the Sonne of God.

Thus hath the Evangelist shewed Christ to bee the seed of the woman, promised to Adam, and descended from him: And that, hee that was proclaimed the seed of the Woman to A∣dam, in the garden, was now pointed out and proclaimed the Sonne of God, from heaven to John, at Jordan. And thus doth the Evangelist conclude this Genealogy with a cleere expression of Christs two natures, his humanity, for hee was the sonne of Adam, his divinity, for hee was the Sonne of God: And this lesser, of these two natures being knit and united in the person of our Saviour, the Evangelists all of them teach very frequent∣ly as they goe along, as a thing of chiefe and choyce observati∣on: which wee shall take up and observe, as wee proceed.

The End of the first Part.
