The First Principles of the Doctrine of Christ; Together with Stronger Meat for them that are skil’d in the Word of Righteousness OR The Doctrine of living unto God, wherein the Body of Divinity Is Briefly and methodically handled by way of Question and Answer. continued:

Quest. Why must Christ be God and Man?

Ans. Christ must be man that he might suffer for man and teach man familiarly, and be of the same kind with his body; and he was God, that he might enable his humane nature to suffer, and that he might be a most able Prophet, and be able to (--?--) his body, and rule as King.

1. He was man that he might suffer for man; for man had sinned, and man must suffer: and he was God to enable his humane nature to suffer. Heb. 9.14.

2. He was man that he might teach man familiarly after the manner of man, and he was God that he might be an able Prophet, I. Cor. 2.16.
