PREFATORY NOTE.
The object of Dr Owen in this treatise is to illustrate the mystery of divine grace in the person of Clirist. It bears the title, " Christologia;" but it differs considerably from modern works of the same title or character. It is not occu- pied with a formal induction from Scripture in proof of the supreme Godhead of the Saviour. Owen assumes the truth of this doctrine, and applies all his jjowers and resources to expound its relations in the Christian system, and its bearings on Christian duty and experience.
Chapter I. of the work is devoted to an exposition of ^tatt. xvi. 16, as a warrant and basis for his inquiry respecting the person of Christ. Chapter II. contains some historical references to the opposition encountered by this doctrine in past ages. From Ciiapter III. to VII. inclusive, the person of Christ is exhibited as the origin of all true religion, the foundation of the divine counsels, the representation of the divine nature and will, the embodiment and sum of divine tiuth, and the soui-ce of divine and gracious efficacy for the salvation of the church. The faith of the Old Testament Church respecting it is illustrated in Ciiapter VIII. Then follows the second leading division of the treatise, in which the divine honouis and obe- dience due to Ciirist, and our obligation to seek conformity to him, are urged at some length, from Chapter IX. to XV. It is followed in Chapters XVI. and XVII. with an inquiry into the divine wisdom as manifested in the person of Christ. The hypostatical union is explained, Chapter XVIII. Two more Chapters, XIX. and XX., close the work, with a dissertation on the exaltation of Christ, and the mode in which ho discharges his mediatorial functions in heaven.
