1The poverty of Christ reacheth from his incarnation ⟨p. 11⟩to his resurrection, all the state of his humiliation, it goes under the name of his poverty; the resurrection was the first step or degree of his exaltation, he wrought our salvation, in the state of humiliation, but he applies it in the state of exaltation.1 The incarnation of Christ it was an exaltation to our nature, to be united to God, to the second Person in Trinity; It was a humiliation of God, for the divine nature so stoop so low as to be veiled under our poor nature, so that God could stoop no lower then to become man, and man could be advanced no higher then to be united to God, so that in regard of God, the very taking upon him of our nature, it was the first degree and passage of his humiliation.
