resolution of these wordes Now to descend to a more particular examination of them let vs first of all search the true and proper meaning of the wordes and then proceede to the vse of doctrine and edification which they shall naturally afford First therefore whereas the Apostle saith he made him the meaning is God the Father in his eternall and vnchangeable counsell decreed and appointed him which knew no sinne to become sinne for vs and answerably in fulnesse of time sent his Sonne to take vpon him flesh that is mans nature that in the same he might worke and suffer whatsoeuer was to be done and suffered for the accomplishment of mans redemption This appeareth to be so both because the outward and external works of God stretch themselues not onely to the diuels themselues but to the executions thereof as also because this worke of Redemption and Reconciliation betweene God and man as it was begun in the decree of God so it was continued in the incarnation of Christ and then finished and accomplished when all our sinne and guilt was laid vpon him and he paid the ransome for them all And least this should seeme strange and hard to any that Christ being very God should be any way subiect or subordinate vnto the decree of God the Scripture is plaine and pregnant in this point 1 Pet. 1.20 He was fore-appointed or fore-ordained from the beginning of the world viz. to this worke of mediation And our Sauiour Christ himselfe speaketh plainely Iohn 6.27 Him hath the Father sealed that is signed and singled by setting as it were a stamp and marke vpon him thereby separating him vnto this worke This we shall the better conceiue if wee doe but remember this distinction Christ is to be considered of vs two wayes first absolutely as he is God in which respect being equall with the Father and the holy Ghost he decreeth determineth together with them all things that are or come to passe in heauen or in earth secondly with limitation or addition viz. as hee is God incarnate God manifested in the flesh the mediator and reconciler of the world in which respect hee may be truly said to be vnder the decree of God though not in respect of his Nature yet in respect of his Office Which knew no sin The meaning is not that our Sauiour Christ was ignorant of the nature qualitie and force of sinne all our sinnes being laid vpon him but he knew no sin to wit experimentally eyther inherent in his person or practised in his life in a word he was no sinner at al eyther by the guilt of Adams first transgression or by the corruption of nature proceeding thence or by any actual offence committed in all his life The Scripture is cleere and euident in this point And first for original sin that is the guilt and corruption of nature Lu. 1.35 The Angell Gabriel in his salutation to the Virgine Marie saith that that which shall be borne of her shall be holy that is pure and free from all staine and contagion of originall sinne Hebre. 4.15 Hee was tempted in all things like vnto vs yet without sinne And though this were a sufficient reason to exempt our Sauiour Christ from all actuall sinne yet the Scripture is not wanting in this point also Ioh. 8.46 he cleareth himselfe from all actuall transgression when hee saith Which of you can conuince or rebuke me of sinne And for them both 1 Pet. 3.18 Christ suffered the iust for the vniust iust in nature iust in actions Heb. 7.26 Such an high Priest it became vs to haue as is holy vndefiled innocent and separate from sinners And the reason is rendred in the wordes following because hee must not be like to the high Priests of the Law who being sinners themselues first offered sacrifice for themselues and then for the people but hee must be an absolute and perfect high Priest that he may be in all points an absolute and a perfect Sauiour The ground of all this is the extraordinarie and miraculous sanctification of our Sauiour Christ in the womb of the Virgin wherof there be two parts the first is the stay stoppage of the guilt of Adams first transgression with the corruption of nature proceeding thence which was done on this manner God in the beginning tooke this order touching man that whatsoeuer good he had he should haue it for himself and his posteritie and whatsoeuer euill or hurt he brought vpon himselfe that hee should deriue it to euery one of his posterity descending from him insomuch as euery father is in stead of Adam to conuey vnto his childe not onely nature and substance but the guilt also and corruption of nature now that this euill might be preuented in Christ God in great wisdome appointed that he should be immediately conceiued by the holy Ghost in the wombe of the Virgin without any manner generation by man insomuch as hee tooke substance from Marie without the guilt and corruption of nature Obiect If it shall be obiected as the spirit of errour hath found one only cauill against this cleere truth that all that are in Adam haue sinned in him but our Sauiour Christ was in Adam ergo An. The proposition is not true vnlesse it be thus expounded All that are in Adam haue sinned in him sobeit they descend from him by ordinary generation Rom. 5.12 the holy Ghost saith by one man sinne entered into the world he doth not say from one man signifying that Adam conueyeth the corruption of nature to no more then he doth beget for the Assumption it must be distinguished our Sauiour Christ was in Adam not simply as other men are but in part onely that is in regard of substance which hee tooke from Adam but not in regard of the propagation of nature by ordinarie generation All other men are from Adam and by Adam but hee is from him onely and not by him as by a begetter and procreant cause The second part is the infusion of holinesse into the manhoode of Christ so farre forth as is meet for the person and office of a Mediator Became sinne for vs. These words at the first sight may seeme to imply a contradiction but being rightly expounded all difficultie will easily be remoued Some expound Sinne a sacrifice for sinne by a Metonimie of the subiect Sinne being the obiect of sacrifice specially of the propitiatory sacrifice which was conuersant about the expiation of sinne this exposition is Orthodoxe agreeable to the Analogie of Faith the tenure of Scripture and the vse of the word which often in the Scripture admitteth this trope as might be shewed in many places of the old Testament if neede were Neuerthelesse it seemeth not to be so fit and sutable vnto this place that for two reasons principally first because of the Antithesis here vsed by the Apostle wherein if by one member viz. Sinne wee vnderstand a sacrifice for sinne and no more so as
