§45

The Consequence of that.Further, it is a Consequence of this Personal Union, that the Proprieties of both Natures may be predicated of the whole Person of the Saviour, which is denominated by the Concrete of each Nature. So the Jews are said to have crucified the Lord of Glory, 1 Cor. 2:8. The Son of Man is the Son of the Living God, Mat. 16:13, 16. The Word of Life, which was from the beginning this we have seen, this we have handled, 1 Joh. 1:1, 2. Jesus is before Abraham, Joh. 8:58. Jesus is the Son of David, Matth. 22:42. God sent his Son, made of a Woman, Gal. 4:4. God purchas’d his Church with his own Blood, Acts 20:20. Neither does less proceed from the personal Union, and the Nature of the Mediator, that whatever either Nature has contributed to the Office of Mediator may be attributed to the whole Person, consisting of Two Natures. There is one God and one Mediator between God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim. 2:5. Christ gave himself for the Church, Eph. 5:25.
