The first branch of our Mediators righteousness, is the holiness of his humanity; which was perfectly sanctified in his conception, by the powerful operation of the Godhead: and this was done at the first instant of his conception in the virgins womb.

And therefore as his conception was free from sin original: so was his whole life from the least sin actual.
