If Christ was-' noc not begotten before his exaltation to glory, then he was not the Son of God before his exaltation; for surely these men of reason, will easily grant that the effeS cannot be before its proper and corns lete cause rvas in its cans all actuality, or ailuall causality. The words of God in the second Psalm are so often repeated, to teach us to keep oureye constantly fixed upon the divine sonship of Christ when ever we discourse of his conception, birth, resurrection, trans.figuration, exaltation to glory, and conclude that the elf-fame person who was begotten of God from the day es of eternity took our fie/h, dyed for our fins, and rose for our justification; for this is that great and fundamentall truth which runsquite thorow the Gospel, That the Son of Mary who did and suffered all for is the proper, the naturall Son of God, the only and All-sufficient Saviour of his people from their fins. We must not part with this truth, for this is all our salvation. It was very proper for the Apostle to speak of his divine sonihip when ever he spake of him as a Mediatonr, as a Priest,&c. because he could not have undertaken or gone thorow with any such office unleffe he had been the Naturall and Proper Son of God equall to God; and therefore we do readily grant, that t he divine off ce s of Christ do declare a/id make manifest the divine fonjhip, P 3 and and nature of fesus Christ, and this tfuthis most evident from the connexion of the seven.
