Ibid. v. 1 6. Where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator.

God did the testament enjoin,
Which God confirm'd with His own blood:
The Man who did His life resign
Was proper, true, eternal God,
God indivisible, and One,
Jehovah's Fellow, and His Son.

The nature, both of God and Man
In Jesus' single person meet,
Never to be disjoin'd again;
So strict the union and complete,
That what of One is said, is true,
If spoken of the Other too.
