Hom. being begotten by the travell of his ſoule, Iſai. 53.10, 11. Hence faith is ſaid to adopt us, verſe 12. in like ſort as it juſtifies us, viz. by vertue of its object, Chriſt. Filiabitur nomine ejus. Trem. Hence Pſal. 72.17. there is ſaid to be a ſucceſſion of Chriſts name; it is begotten, as one generation is begotten of another.
