The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God Gal. 4.4 When the fulness of the time was come God sent forth his Son made of a Woman Heb. 8.2 and 9.11 and 10.5 A Body thou hast prepared for me 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it signifies the Creation of it and the Sanctification of it That which was made of a Woman must be a created Being Such is the humane Nature of Christ Therefore Phil. 2.7 8. He took upon him the form of a Servant and was made in the likeness of Men and being found in fashion as a Man he humbled himself and became obedient unto Death even the Death of the Cross An increated Being is impassible or incapable of suffering the humane Nature of Christ is capable of suffering and did actually suffer death therefore it 's no increated Being and why should any thing in Man exalt itself to move in a Sphere or Orb above the humane Nature of Christ It is taken into the Vnity of the second Person of the Holy Trinity and that is an Honour conferr'd upon no other Creature By vertue of this Hypostatical or Personal Union He that is God-Man is the first born of every Creature Col. 1.15 which is not so to be understood as if he had been created before all other Creatures but that the Rights and Privileges of Primogeniture did belong to him The First-born by the Law was advanced to a degree of super-eminent dignity above his Brethren he had Power and Authority over them he was Prince of the Family Psalm 89.27 see Ephes 1.21 22 23. Heb. 2.7 8. Thou crownedst him with glory and honour and didst set him over the work of thy hands thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet When once the humane Nature was assumed into the Unity of the second Person that Vnion remained firm and indissoluble when Death made a separation between his Soul and Body for a time the Union between the divine Nature and the humane continued Luke 23.43 Though the humane Nature as such is not Adorable nor to be adored yet he that is God-Man is the Object of Adoration Psalm 22.27 28 29 30. Isa 45.23 Rom. 14.10 11. Psal 45.11 Rev. 5.13 Psalm 2.10 11 12. Rom. 11.33 1 Pet. 2.6 Psalm 72.5 11. Mal. 1.11 The Humane Nature of Christ is the Organ and Instrument by and thorough which is conveighed all the Grace that Men have Ephes 4.16 Col. 1.19 Joh. 1.16 Eph. 1.23 Col. 2.19 2 If that Grace which was and is in the humane Nature of Christ be no increated Being Grace in Believers is not so The former is true therefore the latter If those Supernatural Divine Qualities wherewith the humane Nature of Christ was endowed did not commence or begin to exist till the humane Nature itself did begin to exist they were no increated but created Excellencies The former is true Therefore Isa 11.1 2 3. There shall come forth a Rod out of the Stem of J●sse and a Branch shall grow out of his Roots and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the Spirit of Wisdom and Vnderstanding the Spirit of Counsel and Might As was the Rod that was to come forth out of the Stem of Jesse and the Branch that was to grow out of his Roots so was the Spirit of the Lord that was to rest upon him But so it was that the Rod that was to come forth out of the Stem of Jesse Was the Messiah considered according to his humane Nature a created Being Therefore so was also the Spirit that was to rest upon him a created Spirit That which is capable of growing must needs be a created Being such was Habitual Grace Inherent in the humane Nature of Christ Therefore Luke 2.40 46 52. he increased in Wisdom and Stature What Grace was suitable to the State of Childhood that he had to the full and afterwards what Grace was suitable to a more Adult State that also he had in such perfection as the humane nature was capable of Zech. 3.9 Behold the Stone that I have laid before Joshua upon one Stone shall be seven Eyes Behold I will engrave the graving thereof saith the Lord of Hosts The Stone is Jess Christ the chief corner Stone By Eyes is meant Knowledge Wisdom and Providence seven denotes Perfection and Sufficiency By engraving the graving thereof is signified the Beautifying and as it were polishing the humane Nature of Christ with all Gifts and Graces needful for a due discharge of the Work and Office he was called unto probably the Prophet alludes to the costly and curious Workmanship of the Stones of the Temple which did in some weak manner set forth the excellency of Christ's Gifts and Graces Col. 1.19 It pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell Here is says Jeans an Adjunct Grace set forth to us by its Extent and Excellency expressed in two several gradations a Fulness an Al fulness of Grace its subject in him i. e. in Christ as Man The Inhesion of this Adjunct in this Subject dwelleth to denote that it was in him after a permanent and fixed manner The cause of all this fulness dwelling in him the Decree of the Father Christ owed it not to his own or others merits but solely to the free purpose and pleasure of Heaven In this Fulness of Grace that dwells in Christ there is an All sufficiency and an Indeficiency It is sufficient for himself and for others for All his at all times and in all States and Conditions It will never fail It is a bottomless Ocean that can never be exhausted or drawn dry by thousands of Millions of Sinners or Saints in him are unemptible Treasures and an over-flowing redundancy of Spirit and Grace Orth.
