III. Concerning Christ the Mediator between God and Man. We ought to Know and Believe

1. That Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of God, the second Person in the Trinity, is the only Redeemer of lost Man, and the only Mediator betwixt God and Man, from whom alone we are to expect Life and Salvation: 1 Tim. 2.5. There is one God and one Mediator betwixt God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus: Acts 4.12. Neither is there Salvation in any other, for there is no other Name given under Heaven by whom we must be saved.

2. That Jesus Christ our Redeemer was both God and Man, having two Natures in one Person, a Divine Nature as he was

God, and an Humane Nature as Man; in which Humane Nature he suffered for Sinners, and in his Divine Nature satisfied the Justice of God for sin: Acts 20.28. Feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own Blood: Heb. 10. v. 10. By the which Will we are sanctified thro' the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all.

3. That Christ our Redeemer having taken upon him our Na∣ture, lived here upon Earth about three and thirty Years, and did in our stead and for our sin give full Satisfaction to the Justice of his Father, by enduring most grievous Torments in his Soul, and by undergoing most painful Sufferings in Body, was Cru∣cified, Dyed and was Buryed, and by his Death did Conquer Sin and Satan, Death and Hell: Read the 26th. and 27th. Chap∣ters of St Matthew, which give a large Account of our Saviour's Sufferings.

4. That Jesus Christ on the third Day Arose again from the Dead, with the same Body in which he suffered, with which Body also he Ascended into Heaven, and sitteth there at the right hand of his Father to intercede for us, and by his Intercession in Heaven, making Application of that Redemption which he wrought on Earth, from whence at the End of the World he shall come again to Judg both Men and Devils, and to deter∣mine their Final and Eternal State; see Rom. 8. v. 34. Who is he that Condemneth, it is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh Inter∣cession for us: St. Matth. 13. v. 41, 42. The Son of Man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his Kingdom all things which offend, and them that do Iniquity, and shall cast them into a Furnace of Fire, where shall be wailing and weeping, &c.
