By these three parts of his obedience hath he answered for our disobedience and set us free from the danger of Divine Justice in all those three wayes in which we stand obnoxious to it though it cost him deare By his Originall Righteousness he hath freed us from our Originall sin By his Active Obedience from all our sins of Omission By his Passive Obedience from all our sins of Commission By his Active Obedience he hath freed us à poenâ damni from the punishment of loss By his Passive à poenâ sensus from the punishment of paine By his Passive Obedience he hath rescued us out of the jaws of Hell And by his Active Obedience he hath opened unto us the Gates of Heaven This Active Obedience was satisfactory And his Passive meritorious And thus you see how he is become unto us a perfect Saviour and hath by these three parts of his obedience wrought out for us plentifull redemption Had any of these three been wanting he had not wrought out for us plentifull redemption Had our Mediator onely dyed for us been crucified dead and buried he had not wrought out for us plentifull redemption he had onely satisfied the Law in the minatory part of it and by this his Passive Obedience so taken off the sentence of death that lay upon us but he had not thereby restored us unto life nor to our right and title to our forfeited Inheritance he had still left us obnoxious to divine Justice for the breach of the Commandement in the mandatory part of it which said Fac hoc vives doe this and thou shalt live Had the Mediator by his Active Obedience satisfied the Law and fulfilled it in the mandatory part of it and so by his holy Life fulfilled and performed the condition of the Covenant of Works for us yet he had not wrought out for us plentifull redemption he had still left us open to the Justice of God for the sin of our Nature our Originall sin wherein we are conceived and borne But that he might work out for us plentifull redemption it was not enough for him nor for us that he should be made a Man as the first Adam was by Creation but he must become a Child an Infant conceived in the Wombe and borne into the World after the same manner as other Children are sin onely excepted that so he might begin the Cure of our Disease where the Disease it selfe begins in the very Wombe and that by the purity and merit of his holy Conception and Incarnation imputed unto us the impurity of our Nature may be healed and our Infants sanctified and purified in the Wombe and from the Wombe by the vertue and merit of the Conception and Incarnation of the holy Child Jesus And therefore we doe with as much comfort confess and beleeve That he was Conceived by the holy Ghost and borne of the Virgin Mary as That he suffered for us under Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried They that lay all the stresse of our redemption upon the death and blood of Christ doe not fully deliver the Doctrine of our redemption they over-look the greatest part of it in the Active Obedience of his Life and the Obedience of his Birth and Incarnation They that lay it wholly upon his Active and Passive Obedience doe not yet deliver the Doctrine of our Redemption fully they overlook an essentiall part of it in the Obedience of his Conception and Incarnation But the Apostle doth not overlook it Phil 2. when he sayes That being in the forme of God and thinking it no robbery to be equall with God He took upon himselfe the forme of a man of a servant of a childe of an Infant which was in his Incarnation And the Church doth not over look it when it celebrates the prayse of it with Admiration in these words of her despised Liturgy When thou tookest upon thee to deliver Man thou didst not abhorre the Virgins Wombe There did the work of our Redemption begin which was prosecuted all along throughout his whole life his death buriall and resurrection out of which for a beleever to draw out of all the parts and passages of it that comfort that they doe afford and to apply them to those severall wants and maladies of his soule for the supply and cure whereof they are most proper is a point of high wisedome and gives unto the foule strong consolation and full satisfaction It is something to know Christ Crucified in grosse That Jesus Christ came into the World to save sinners This gives the Faith of adherence But to know Christ more distinctly in his Person his Natures his Offices and the executions of them in all the parts of the precious Redemption he hath wrought out for us and take out that merit and vertue which they doe afford and rightly to apply it to the severall wants of our soules for the reliefe whereof they are most proper is much more comfortable and speaks the Faith of assurance when we are able to Reade in his Originall Righteousness the discharge of our Originall sin in his Incarnation the purification of our Natures in his birth our new birth in his Active Obedience satisfaction for all our sins of Omission in his Passive Obedience a satisfaction for all our sins of Commission in his stripes our healing in his condemnation our absolution in his death our life in his buriall our mortification in his Resurrection and Ascension our Resurrection and Glorification In the 2 Kings 4.32 we reade how Elisha going to revive the Shunamites Sonne went into the Chamber where he lay and there cast himselfe upon the Child and layd his face to the childs face and his eyes to the childs eyes and his hands to the childs hands and so applyed himselfe unto the Child part by part and after a little space the Child neesed seven times and revived So if we can by Faith thus distinctly apply our selves unto this holy Child Jesus and him to us in all the branches of this his Obedience by which he hath wrought out deliverance for us not the Child but we which before were dead in sins and trespasses by vertue and grace derived from him shall revive and live the life of grace here and of glory hereafter with him in Heaven for overmore And so we have done with the second branch in the Reddition to the first part of the comparison between the two Adams shewing the means by which he hath satisfied for the disobedience of the first Adam That was By Obedience We now come to the third wherein we are to consider The Persons that are benefited by it and the Text sayes They are many So by the Obedience of One shall many be made Righteous And here doe arise three Questions First How the obedience of one can satisfie for the disobedience of another What Justice there is in this Or how it can stand good in Law Secondly If it doe so yet
