2. Christ was of a humble, meek, and lowly Spirit, as himself affirms, Matth. 11.29. And the Prophet Zechariah of him, Zech. 9.9. Of this Christ gave many real testimonies when here on Earth; He was not only humble, meek, and lowly in his carriage, and in show, but in Heart and Spirit; He was really such, as his Birth, Life and Death did testify.
2. Christ was of a humble, meek, and lowly Spirit, as himself affirms, Matth. 11.29. And the Prophet Zechariah of him, Zech. 9.9. Of this Christ gave many reall testimonies when here on Earth; He was not only humble, meek, and lowly in his carriage, and in shew, but in Heart and Spirit; He was really such, as his Birth, Life and Death did testifie.
3. Christ was of a just and righteous Spirit;1 so saith the Prophet Zech 9.9. He is just; Christ was not only morally just; but he was Divinely just, as is evident by his Government; the revealed Will of God is the Cannon by which he rules, they which walk contrary unto it, sooner or later he punisheth; and they which walk according to it, he sooner ⟨p. 152⟩or latter rewardeth; He doth judg with righteousness, and reprove with equity, (saith the Prophet) Isai. 11.4.
- 1His government is spiritual, yet external and internal.
