We know that obedience, whether Christ's, or ours; is called a walking in ⟨p. 98⟩the way, typified by the Lavers walking upon their Wheels. But I mean not by Christ his washing of his offering, that he had any filthiness cleaving to his nature or obedience: Yet this, I say, that so far as our guilt laid upon him, could impede, so far he wiped it off by washing in these Lavers. For his offering was to be without blemish, and without spot to God. Hence 'tis said, he sanctified himself, in order to his suffering; And being made perfect, he became the Author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him; Joh. 17.19. Heb. 5.6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

For, albeit, he came holy into the World, yet that holiness was but preparatory to that by which he sanctified himself, in order to his suffering for sin. That then which was his immediate preparation for his suffering, was his obedience to the Law, his washing in these Lavers. He then first yielded complete obedience to the Law on our behalf, and then as so qualified, offered his washed Sacrifice for our sins without spot to God.

Thus therefore he was our burnt-offering washed in the ten Lavers, that he might, according to Law, be accepted of the Lord.
