he is subject to the justice of God to performe all those things which were required to the redemption of man Phil. 2. 8. Being found in shape as a man he humbled himselfe and became obedient unto death 3. This humiliation was not properly of the Divine nature or person considered in it selfe but of the Mediator God-man 4. Therefore the taking of the humane nature considered simply in it selfe is not a part of this humiliation because it was the action of God only but that condition of a servant which did accompany the taking of the Divine nature was the prime and proper reason of the humiliation Yet in respect of this condition by a relation redounding from thence the Divine person is rightly said to be of no reputation Phil. 2. 7. Because it did exist in that forme which for a time was void of all glory and Divine Majesty for the Divine Majesty did suppresse and hide it selfe throughout all that space of humiliation that it did not constantly exercise that dignity which did afterward appeare in the exaltation 5. The end of this humiliation is satisfaction and merit 6. It is called satisfaction as it is ordered to the honour of God by a certaine recompence for the injury done to him by our sinnes Rom. 3. 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation by his blood to shew this righteousnesse This is shewed in all those places of Scripture wherein Christ is said to be dead for us for that efficiency is set forth in this phraise which cannot be attributed to Paul or Peter in their death 1 Cor. 1. 13. Which takes away condemnation Rom. 8. 34. Which finally brings with it reconciliation to salvation Rom. 5. 10. 7. It is the same also which is signified where it is said he was made sinne for us 2 Cor. 5. 21. For he could no other way be made sinne then either by inward pollution or outward reputation but he was most of all free from pollution neither did the imputation of sin any other way agree to him then that he migt for us undergoe the punishment due to sinne 8. In the same respect it is said that he bore our iniquities Isay 53. 4. Neither doth that phraise signifie a bearing of patience for by bearing he tooke away the sins of the world Iohn 1. 29. Neither doth it only declare a power of taking away sins for he bore our sins in his body upon the Crosse. 1 Pet. 2. 24. 9. The like sorce is of that f●…rme he paid the price of redemption for us Mat. 20. 28. For neither is there a meere delivering set forth by that phraise nor every meanes of it because the price it selfe is nominated and it is intimated to be of the like common respect with the paiment of silver or gold for vendible merchandize 1 Pet. 1. 18. And the application of this price it also added Hebr. 9. 13. 14. 15. Blood sprinkling those that are uncleane And 10. 22. Our hearts purged by sprinkling from an evill conscience So that Christ himselfe is therefore a Mediator because he hath given himselfe a price of redemption 1 Tim. 2. 5. 6. And we are therefore made partaker of that redemption because Christ hath given himselfe for us Gal. 2. 20. And we believe in him Iohn 1. 12. And by him in God 1 Pet. 1. 21. 10. In the same sence also he is called an offering and sacrifice for our sinnes Eph. 5. 2. He gave himselfe for us an offering and sacrifice of a sweet smelling favour to God For he was so true and proper a sacrifice for sinne that all other sacrifices which went before were but shadowes of this and after this is finished it is neither needfull nor lawfull to offer any other Hebr. 16. 12. 14. 11. But this whole mystery depends upon this that Christ is made such a Mediator as that he is also a surety Hebr. 7. 22. And the common roote of those that are to be redeemed as Adam was of those that are created and lost Rom. 5. 16. 17. 18. 19. 1 Cor. 15. 22. 12. In the same humiliation of Christ there was also merit as it is ordered to our benefit or to obtaine some good for us in the way of reward This is shewed in all those places of Scripture wherein he is said by his obedience to have procured righteousnesse forus Rom. 5. 19. Many are made righteous to procure the favour of God for us Rom. 5. 10. We have been reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne and to procure life eternall for us Rom. 6. 23. Life eternall by Iesus Christ. 13. The merit and satisfaction of Christ differ not in the thing it selfe soo as they should be sought for in sundry and different operations but they ought in a diverse way to be acknowledged in one and the some obedience 14. Neither ought any part of that obedience which is found in the humiliation of Christ to be excluded from that dignity and use 15. But the exaltation of Christ although it be an essentiall part of his mediation yet it doth not pertaine to his merit or satisfaction 16. This satisfaction as touching the substance of the thing was perfect in rigour of justice yet it presupposeth grace whereby Christ was called to performe this worke and whereby it being performed it was accepted in our name and for our good Lastly whereby that is performed by covenant rewarding which was required in this Satisfaction Iohn 3. 16. So God loved the world that hee gave his only begotten Sonne Rom. 3. 24. We are justified freely by his grace through the redemption made in Iesus Christ and 5. 15. The grace of God and gift by grace which is of that one man Iesus Christ. 17. Hence greatest justice and greatest grace are together manifested and worke in mans redemption Rom. 5. 17. They receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousnesse soo that all the fruit of this Satisfaction are rightly together called the fruits and effects of the grace and mercie of God 18. This Satisfaction had worth sufficient and in some respect infinite First from the person of him that did offer who was God Secondly from the dignity and excellency of the thing offered for he offered himselfe God and man Thirdly from the manner of offering in which there was a certaine divine perfection by reason of the personall Union 19. For as the greatnesse of the injury growes from the dignity of the person offended because there the worth of the offended person is hurt so the worth of him that makes satisfaction doth grow from the dignity of him that makes Satisfaction because here the yeelding of honour is looked unto which depends upon the dignity of him that yeelds the honour 20. Also in satisfaction not the act only or suffering but also the person it selfe which doth or suffereth is voluntarily subjected to the obedience of him to whom that honour is yeelded also the manner of workingh
