The man Christ Jesus;— Christ's being styled man, when spoken of as the Mediator between God and men, is no more an argument against his being also God, in the discharge of that office; than its being at other times said, that, "the Lord of glory was crucified, and God purchased the church with his own blood," (l Cor. 1 Timothy 2:8. Acts 20:28.), is an argument against his being man, in his sufferings and bloodshed: and as he is expressly called the one mediator, this must exclude all others, such as saints and angels, which the papists set up, and idolatrously worship as their mediators; in like manner as the heathens had set up many mediators, to pacify and intercede with their superior gods.
