How are we to understand this that Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost A. Thus Christ was conceived not of the substance but of the power of the Holy Ghost the holy Ghost by his incomprehensible power wrought his conceptiō supernaturally Lu 1.35 Q How are we to conceive of the Vnion of these two natures of Christ A. Although Christ consist of two Natures yet he is but one Person The manhood of Christ is united immediately to the Person of the Sonne by the person to the God-head of the Sonne and so the nature assuming and the nature assumed make but one Person of the Redeemer one Christ Joh. 1.14 Luk. 1.35 Col. 2.9 Q. What kind of union is this A. A Personall union but not a union of Persons a Union of natures not in nature a Union of two natures in one person Q But are not these two natures mingled and confounded in Christ A No verily although they be inseparably united in person yet they remaine still distinct in substance properties and actions 1 Pet. 3.18 2 Cor. 13.4 Q Why was it necessarie that God and man should be thus united in Christs Person A It was necessarie that Christ should be God-man that he might be a fit Mediator between God and man that he might be every way fit both to reconcile God to man and man to God Q Tell me more particularly why was it necessarie that Christ should be Man A. It was necessarie that Christ should be made man First that the Lord might performe the promise wich was made to Adam in Paradise that the seed of the woman should bruise the Serpents head Gen 3.15 If Christ had not been made of a woman he could not have been the promised Messias Secondly because our redeemer was to suffer and dye for us but God could not suffer 1 Tim 12.5 6. Thirdly because it makes most for the glorie of Gods justice to exact satisfaction from that nature that had sinned Man had sinned and therefore man must suffer Heb. 2.14 16. Q Why was it necessarie that Christ should be God also A. 1. That he might not be swallowed up of death that he might be able to beare the wrath of God and to conquer and overcome Satan Death and Hell for us 2. That his obedience and sufferings might be of infinite value and merit Act. 20.28 Q. Hitherto of the person of the Redeemer it remaineth to consider of the worke of Redemption Tell me now what kind of worke is this worke of Redemption A. As the Person of the Redeemer is wonderfull Isa 9.6 so the worke of Redemption which he hath wrought for us is admirable as two distinct natures concur to make the Person of the Redeemer so the operations of both these natures concur to the effecting of this great worke of Mans Redemption Q. How may this admirable worke of Redemption be described A. Redemption is a most gracious and powerfull deliverance out of the captivity of sinne and Satan and from the curse of the Law Tit. 2.14 Heb 2.14 15. Gal. 3.13 Q. How and with what price hath Christ redeemed us A. Not with silver and gold but with his precious blood Christ hath redeemed us by making full satisfaction unto the justice of God for us 1 Pet 1.18 19. Eph 1.7 Col 1.14 Q. To whom was the price of Redemption paid A. Christ paid the price of our Redemption to God his Father We were captives to Satan no otherwise then as Satan is the minister of God for the execution of that curse of the Law which the justice of God hath denounced and threatned against all sinners and therefore Satisfaction was to be made unto God Gal 3.10 Q. How and by what meanes hath Christ made satisfaction to the justice of God for us A. By his voluntary obedience both active and passive Christ our Surety hath paid all our debts for us both the principall and the forfeiture that so we might be freely and fully discharged Q. What are we to understand by the active obedience of Christ A. The obedienee of his life performed to the whole Law of God for us When Christ lived upon earth he fulfilled all righteousnesse which we were to fulfill he kept every Commandement exactly in thought word and deed he perfectly performed the perfect Law of God in our stead and this is called his active obedience Matt 3.15 5.17 Gal 4.4 5. Rom 5.19 10.4 Q. What are we to understand by his passive obedience A. By the passive obedience of Christ we are to understand his whole Passion which ended in his Death upon the Crosse Phil 2.8 1 Pet. 2.24 Q. What manner of death was that which Christ suffered upon the Crosse A. A cursed death and a meritorious death Q. Why do you call it a cursed death A. Because it was not only ignominious and shamefull before men but also accursed before God for it is written Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree Deut 21.23 Gal 3.13 Q. Why did Christ suffer this kind of death rather then any other A. To declare that he was made a Curse for us to the end that he might redeeme us from the Curse of the Law Q. Why do you call the death that Christ suffered upon the Crosse a meritorious death A. Because it was the price of our Redemption The death of an Ordinary man is a duty and a debt but the death of Christ was a satisfactorie oblation and a full price of Redemption Ephes 5.2 Mat 20.28 1 Tim. 2.6 Q. What made the death of Christ thus meritorious A. The infinite dignitie of his person Christ who willingly suffered death was not a meere man but God and man in one person and therefore it is said that God purchased his Church with his own blood Hence it is that the death of Christ is of infinite value and merit a price sufficient for the ransome of the whole world for in that the naturall and eternall

We must learne to know Christ his person his natures his offices his saving benefits 4. We must be humbled by the Law that we may be willing to come out of our naturall condition and may be fit to receive Christ tendered unto us in the Gospell We must make sure our Union with Christ we must by a true and lively Faith depend and rest wholly upon the Mercie of God and Merits of Christ for the remission of our sinnes and the salvation of our soules 5. When we are united to Christ by a justifying faith and have the seed of regeneration sown in our hearts then we must waite upon God in a conscionable use of his holy Ordinances whereby faith and all other graces of the sanctifying spirit may be confirmed strengthned and encreased in us daily Finally Grace is the seed and infancie of Glory and therefore we must be infants in Grace before we can be Heires in Glorie If we have part in the first Resurrection if our soules be raised to a spirituall life here then certainly we shall be sharers in the glorious resurrection of the just hereafter Rev. 20.6 There are two degrees of spirituall life the life of Grace and the life of Glorie If we doe not attaine to the first of these we cannot attaine to the Second We must therefore live the life of Grace here if we defire to live the life of Glory hereafter AN APPENDIX Wherein these four Doctrines appertaining to the first Principle are more fully expounded viz.
