of a woman, that he should be righteous? xv. 14. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands: thou hast put | all things under his feet. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the path of the sea, Psal. viii. 4-8. Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man that thou makest account of him! cxliv. 3. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity! Isa. xl.

c How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man which is a worm, Job xxv. 6. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish, Psal. cxlvi. 3, 4. I, even I, am he' that comforteth you; who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man, which shall be made as grass, Isa. li.

d And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good, Gen. i. 24.

VER. 8.

Πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. Ἐν γὰρ τῷ ὑποτάξαι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, οὐδὲν ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ ἀνυπότακτον νῦν δὲ οὔπω ὁρῶμεν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ὑποTerayeva.

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak, ver. 5. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? i. 13. See also on Matt. xxviii. ver. 18.

VER. 9.

Τὸν δὲ βραχύ τι παρ' ἀγγέλους ἠλατα τωμένον βλέπομεν Ἰησοῦν, διὰ τὸ πάθημα τοῦ θανάτου, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφανωμέ vov, ὅπως χάριτι Θεοῦ ὑπὲρ παντὸς γεύσηται θανάτου.

For every High Priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices; wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer, Heb. viii. 3. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me, x. 5. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed, and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, Gen.iii.

15. Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, Isa. vii. 14.

ever. His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him, Psal. xxi. 3-5. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear, Acts ii. 32. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written, that no man knew but himself, Rev. xix. 12.

ground: he hath no form nor comeli-
ness, and when we shall see him, there
is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men, a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief; and we bid as it were our faces
from him he was despised, and we
esteemed him not. Surely he hath
borne our griefs, and carried our sor-
rows: yet we did esteem him strick-
en, smitten of God, and afflicted. But
he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are
healed. All we, like sheep, have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the LORD hath
laid on him the iniquity of us all. He
was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth; he is
brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before the shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the
land of the living: for the transgres-
sion of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence, nei-
ther was any deceit in his mouth. Yet
it pleased the LORD to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong
his days, and the pleasure of the LORD
shall prosper in his hand, liii. 2-10.
For what the law could not do, in
that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the like-
ness of sinful flesh, and for sin, con-
demned sin in the flesh, Rom. viii. S.
But when the fulness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of
a woman, made under the law, Gal.
iv. 4. But made himself of no repu-
tation, and took upon him the form of
a servant, and was made in the like-
ness of men and being found in fash- ix. 27.

ion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even
the death of the cross, Phil. ii. 7, 8.
b. For thou preventest him with the
blessings of goodness: thou settest a
crown of pure gold on his head. He
asked life of thee, and thou gavest it

c For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, John iii. 16. But God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, Rom. v. 8. He that spared not his his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? viii. 32. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, 2 Cor. v. 21. We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain, vi. 1. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins, 1 John iv. 9, 10.

Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom, Matt. xvi. 26. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power, Mark ix. 1. But those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before my face, Luke

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death, John viii. 52.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away

the sin of the world, John i. 29. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me, xii. 32. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them and rose again, 2 Cor. v. 15. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 1 Tim. ii. 6. And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world, 1 John ii. 2. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation, Rev. v. 9.

VER. 10.

Επρεπε γὰρ αὐτῷ, δι ̓ ὃν τὰ πάντα, καὶ δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα, πολλοὺς ὑιοὺς εἰς δόξαν | ἀγαγόντα, τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς σωτήριας αὐτ τῶν διὰ παθημάτων τελειῶσαι.

d

For a it became him, b for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation 'perfect through sufferings.

[ocr errors]

a For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, Heb. vii. 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory, Luke xxiv. 26. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness; that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus, Rom. iii. 25, 26. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, Eph. i. 6-8. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus, ii. 7. To the intent that now, unto the principalities and powers in hea

venly places, might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, iii. 10.

bThe LORD hath made all things for himself; yea, even the wicked for the day of evil, Prov. xvi. 4. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise, Isa. xliii. 21. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever, Amen, Rom. xi. 36. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him, 1 Cor. viii. 6. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor. v. 18. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were created by him, and for him; him all things consist, Col. i. 16, 17. and he is before all things, and by Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive thou hast created all things, and for glory, and honour, and power; for thy pleasure they are and were created, Rev. iv 11.

c Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor num. bered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God, Hos. i. 10. And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad, John xi. 52. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us,

Rom. viii. 14-18.

HEB. II. 10.

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren, 29. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified, 30. As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto him, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God, ix. 25, 26. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty, 2 Cor. vi. 18. For ye are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus, Gal. iii. 26. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph. i. 5. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we we shall see him as he is, 1 John iii. 1, 2. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, Rev. vii. 9.

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Rom. ix. 23. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory, 1 Cor. ii. 7. But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord, 2 Cor. iii. 18. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, iv. 17. When Christ, who is

A. D. 64.

our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory, Col. iii. 4. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory, 2 Tim. ii. 10. The elders which are among you, I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed, 1 Pet. v. 1. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you, ver. 10.

e Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec, Heb. vi. 20. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God, xii. 2. And he said, Nay, but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my LORD unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so, Josh. v. 14, 15. Behold, I have given him for a witness for the people, a leader and commander to the people, Isa. Iv. 4. The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them, Mic. ii. 13. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses, Acts iii. 15. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins, v. 31.

Though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him, Heb. v. 8, 9. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to-day and

to-morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected, Luke xiii. 32. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory, xxiv. 26. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoveth Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, ver 46. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost, John xix. 30.

b Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil, Heb. ii. 14. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation, Acts xvii. 26.
