For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see o Phil. 2. 7, 9 not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, p Acts 2. 33. who was made a little lower than the angels 1for suffering of death, Pcrowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death 10 every man. For it became him, for whom are things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many r Luke 24.46. sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salva- t Acts 3. 15. 11tion "perfect through sufferings.

For verily 2he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took 17 on him the seed of Abraham.
