By the example of Christ Jesus Ver. 5 6. 2. By the good which doth follow of it as it appears in the exaltation of Christ In the example of Christ he propounds to be considered both his natural excellency v. 6. and his voluntary humility or infirmity taken upon him for our sake v. 8. He humbleth himself Christ humbled himself in his birth in his life in his death In his birth to be born of a poor mother who confesseth her contemptible state and low degree Luke 1.48 52. espoused to a poor Carpenter to be born in a stable amongst beasts in his life in that till thirty years of age he led an obscure and private life as is gathered working with his supposed Father in his Trade for which they which knew his education objected it as ground of their contempt of him that he was not onely the Son of a Carpenter but himself a Carpenter Mark 6.3 Is not this the Carpenter the Son of Mary He at his time came to seek Baptism at the hands of John as if he had needed it which John would have refused knowing that he baptized with the Holy Ghost and needed not to come to him He refused not to be in the wilderness among wilde beasts and there to be tempted of the devil to be carried in his blessed Body as is probable from place to place to the pinnacle to a high mountain by the devil in companying with them of low degree as Fishers not disdaining to touch the Lepers for their healing nor to give himself to be used of any that would make use of him To that end he eat with sinners talked familiarly with Harlots c. He washed his Disciples feet he turned not his face from shame and spitting he suffered very unworthy things with a quiet minde And he humbled himself in death to die between two theeves a death accursed with the sence of Gods wrath offering himself to the judgement of God for all the Elect. Consider his minde in such a dignity by personal union of his humane nature and follow lowliness And became obedient Obedience follows humbleness of minde We are therefore commanded to humble our selves to walk with our God Micah 6.8 The Saints are said to sit down at Gods feet and every one receive his words Deut. 33.3 Sin hath pride with it and in wilful sins Jer. 2.31 even good men are said to despise the Lord 2 Sam. 12.9 It is the brand of all them that are lewd in their ways they despise the Lord Prov. 14.2 and are stout against him He humbles men first and takes away their pride and then makes them obedient Job 33.17 An humble minde is willing to be appointed 2. Christ was obedient First Voluntarily of his own accord with delight as his meat and drink John 4.32 34. Secondly In all things and in all degrees he told John as a reason of his coming to Baptism that he must fulfil all righteousness Matth. 3. and saith he came to fulfil the Law Matth. 5. Not to do his own will but the will of him that sent him John 6.38 Unto which will he fully submitted himself Matth. 26.39 Heb. 10.9 And not onely to the Moral Law but also to all those Laws which were peculiar to Gods people whereby they professed themselves sinners Gal. 4.4 he was circumcised offered oblations Luke 2.21 24. and performed other ceremonial observances Matth. 26.17 20. Matth. 26.26 Joh. 7.2 10. He was baptized and received the Sacrament of his own body and blood Matth. 3.18 Thirdly He did that always which pleased his Father John 8.29 Both materially and formally both in respect of the work and the heart seeking the glory of him that sent him Iohn 7.18 With all that love and zeal with all that mercy and compassion which the Law commands He doth affirm that thus he continued in his Fathers love John 15.10 keeping his Commandments which before his death he mentions in his prayer commending himself and his Disciples to his Father I have glorified thee on the earth I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do John 17.4 Fourthly He was obedient to all to whom by the Law he should be obedient to God to the Civil Magistrate to his Parents He paid tribute maintained Cesars right acknowledged Pilates power over him from above and came down with his Parents and remained SUbject to them Luke 2.51 yet in the Lord discreetly giving to God that which belonged to him Fifthly He continued in his obedience until death and died in obedience to his Fathers will whereby he was the more accepted Heb. 5.8 John 10.17 That he preferred his Fathers will of our Salvation before his own life and refused not that death which was the death of all other accursed that the most odious malefactors were put to This was partly that he might be a fit High Priest Heb. 7.26 27. who needed not to offer for his own fin and herein he answered the Types and was an offering without blemish accepted and making acceptable Hereby we are justified by his obedience unto death both in doing and suffering Rom. 5.18 19.
