He rules each and all of its parts by his Providence -- How to use this doctrine for our benefit -- 2.

Original sin -- Man has been deprived of free will, and is miserably enslaved -- Everything proceeding from the corrupt nature of man is damnable -- Redemption for fallen man is to be sought in Christ -- The Law was given to the Jews not as an end in itself but to keep alive hope of salvation in Christ until his coming -- Exposition of the moral law -- Christ, although known to the Jews under the Law, was clearly made known only through the Gospel -- Christ had to become man to perform the office of Mediator -- How two natures constitute the one person of the Mediator -- Three things to be chiefly regarded in Christ -- his offices of prophet, king and priest -- How Christ performed the office of redeemer in procuring our salvation.
