was it suitable to the state of so great a Person of whom so glorious things are spoken to submit himselfe to suffering and Obedience Had he come down in State and Majesty with Power and great Glory Riding upon the wings of the winde attended with Legions of Angels and Arch-Angels in flaming fire rendring vengeance to his enemies treading upon the necks of Kings and Kesars by strong hand vanquishing the powers of darkness and bearing down before him all opposite Power that did advance it selfe against his Kingdome this had been an equipage well becomming the Prince of Glory the King of Kings and Lord of Lords But for such a Person so farr to lessen himselfe as to de-throne himselfe to strip himselfe of all those Robes of Majesty and Glory which he enjoyed at the right hand of the Father and to take upon himselfe the forme of a servant of an Infant and to come downe from God to Man from commanding Angels to submit to the commands of vile sinners and from thundering in Heaven to cry in a Cradle was such a condescention as may well afford matter of admiration and assonishment to Men and Angels Yet so it was and so it must be or we had been all Children without Adoption Gal. 4.4.5 It was the disobedience of the first Adam and ours in him that he came to answer for And what better way to answer for disobedience then by obedience every evill is best expelled by ' its contrary Will the first Adam in the pride of his heart aspire to the very Zenith of Dignity the Apex of Majesty and being but a man will needs be like unto God The second Adam to expiate this sin must come downe to the very Nadir of humility and being God must become Man that so he might make a recompence unto God for that his inordinate ambition and so make his peace Did the first Adam offend by Eating By Fasting must the second Adam expiate that his intemperance Matth. 4. Did the first Adam abuse his liberty and priviledges in Paradise The second Adam must make amends for it by his Heremiticall hardship in the Wilderness Did the first Adam so pusillanimously betray himselfe and his by yeelding to the suggestions and temptations of the Devill The second Adam to repayre that loss and dishonour must encounter the Devill and in faire cumbating vanquish him again and again and so fully revenge the quarrell of the first Matth. 4. Did the first Adam offend by disobedience By obedience must the second Adam satisfie for it and so he did for so saith the Text By the Obedience of One. There are two things in this great transaction well worth our Observation First How the second Adam hath trac't the first all along step by step and where ever he found the first Adam had endamag'd us there doth he make a stand and not pass by till he hath repayred us As Ezek. 16.6 As I passed by thee I saw thee in thy blood c. The second How in this reparation he provides for us all along a remedy suitable to our malady a salve proper for the cure of the sore a satisfaction punctually answering the Justice of God for that sin by which we had offended it as in the passages above in timated See it farther more clearly and distinctly in this his obedience There are three branches of this his obedience by which he hath set us free and wrought out righteousness for us First The Obedience of his Birth Secondly The Obedience of his Life Thirdly The Obedience of his Death First the Obedience of his Birth in his holy Conception and Incarnation Secondly The Obedience of his Life in his holy and unblameable Conversation Thirdly The Obedience of his Death in his bitter Passion and Crucifixion and these were all necessary none of these three could have been spared For three wayes we stood obnoxious unto Divine Justice First For our Originall sin the sin of our Nature wherein we were conceived and borne Secondly For all our sins of Omission and particularly for fayling in performing the condition of the Covenant of Works and of obeying the Commandement given in Paradise in the mandatory part of it upon which Life and Salvation was made over to us in these words Doe this and thou shalt live Thirdly For all our sins of Commission and particularly for breaking his Commandement given in Paradise in the minatory part of it which said In the day that thou Eateth thereof thou shalt dye the Death In all these three respects we were obnoxious to Divine Justice We lay under Wrath and under a sentence of eternall Death and from all these three by these three parts of this his Obedience are we set free First By this Obedience and Merit of his holy Conception and Incarnation are we delivered from our birth-Birth-sinne wherein we are conceived and borne the holiness of his Humane Nature conceived and borne without sin being imputed unto us that so by it the impurity of ours conceived and borne in sin may be cured and healed and done away Secondly By his Active Obedience in his most holy Life which he led here on Earth in the dayes of his flesh perfectly fulfilling the Law for us hath he delivered us from all our sins of Omission which was the second way by which we stood in danger of Divine Justice For thus speaks the Law Cursed is every one that continueth not in every thing that is Written in the Book of the Law to doe it This had we made impossible to be done by us but done it must be for us or we all undone And this is done in the Active Obedience of this our Mediator and for this purpose was it that he stayed so long upon Earth among the Sonnes of Men He dwelt among us as St. John speaks John 1.14 full three and thirty years some say more neer fifty grounding their conjecture upon those words of the Jews spoken to him John 8.57 Thou art not yet fifty years old and hast thou seen Abraham But thirty we are sure he was when he entred upon his Ministery what time ever he continued afterward and this was necessary that he might have a competent time to fulfill the Law in all the parts and branches of it and so by performing the condition of the Covenant of Works for us to restore us again to our right to the Kingdome of Heaven made over to us upon that condition Thirdly By his Passive Obedience hath he freed us from all our sins of Commission answering the Law in the minatory part of it which said The soule that sinneth shall dye And In the day that thou eatest shalt thou dye the death By suffering death he hath taken off that sentence of death that was gone out against us and by becomming a curse for us hath taken off that curse that was upon us And thus hath the Lord layd upon him the iniquities of us all thus hath he borne our iniquities
