Note this by the way, Christs priestly office includes two branches, his sacrificing himself for us, a Priest was to offer Sacrifice, and to pray for the people, our Saviour Christ did both in the days of his humiliation; in his ⟨p. 38⟩prayer in Joh. 17. there as a Priest, he commends his sacrifice to God before he died, and now he is in Heaven making intercession for us to the end of the world, he appears for us there. We see then to what purpose God put the Spirit upon Christ, to enable him to be a Prophet, a Priest and a King, and thereupon to take away those mischiefs and evils that we were subject and enthralled too, so that we have a supply for all that may any way abase us and cast us down, in the all sufficiency that is in Christ Jesus, who was anointed with the Spirit for this end.

1It may be objected, Christ was God himself, he had the Spirit and gives the Spirit, therefore how could the Spirit be put upon him?
