Because he was the Image of God.1 And none but the Image of God could restore us to that Image.2 He was the Son of God, and none but the natural Son could make us Sons. He is the Wisdom of the Father ▪ to make us wise; and he is the first beloved, to make us beloved. Such reasons are given by the School-men, and not disagreeable to Scripture: for indeed it is appropriate to the second Person, the great work of the Incarnation, God in the flesh. Therefore they usually compare the Incarnation of Christ to a Garment made by three Virgins, Sisters, and one of them wears it. So all the three Persons had a hand in the Garment of Christs flesh; the Father had a work in it, and the Holy-Ghost sanctified it yet he only wore it: therefore the second Person is, God manifest in the flesh.
