Not illustrated. 1818 edition. Excerpt: ...unclean spirits, when they saw him that is, the persons epileptic or insane, who, according to the Jewish philosophy, were supposed to be haunted by human ghosts, fell down before him, arid cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God." The title of " Son of Man" is argued to imply a divine nature: as it is thought unaccountable why a man should be so called; and the inference is drawn, that it is meant to designate a divine or super-angelic being who had taken the form of man. But the title of " Son of man " is given ninety times to the prophet Ezekiel, and seems appropriated to one who has peculiar manifestations of God's holy spirit; and "the Son-of man" may be applied to Christ in an eminent sense, without implying that in respect of nature he was different from other men. It seems peculiarly appropriate to him as " the second Adam" by whom came the resurrection from the dead," and as the "seed of the woman," who should bruise the head of the serpent, or sin. Phil. ii. 5--8. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he bumbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Two inferences may be drawn from the literal acceptation of this passage: (1) That he who was in the form of God could not be God himself; or that God could not be in his own image or likeness; (2) That if another being than God was in the form of God, he was another God; the subordinacy or inferiority of his nature not altering the essence or quality of the...
