Seventhly; In contradistinction to the Union which we have with Christ, by virtue of his assuming our humane nature. Christ was incarnate in the Womb of the Virgin, and thereby was personally united to our flesh; which is the highest advancement of the humane nature, that can be conceived, Heb. 2.16. For verily he took not upon him the nature of Angels, but the seed of Abraham; Christ assumed mans nature, being God from all Eternity; he took on him the one, to the other; and so made of those two natures, one person: by this we have a kind of Union with Jesus Christ, ver. 11. He which Sanctifieth, and they which are Sanctified, are both of one, i.e. of one God, say some; the Son of God, and Saints are all of one God the Father: others understand it of Adam; Christ as concerning the flesh, and all the sanctified, are of one common root and Father, though, by a different generation. But [of one] here is to be referred principally to the nature, whereof ⟨p. 27⟩both the sanctifier and sanctified are partakers, i.e. ¹they are of the same blood and kindred, of the same mould & constitution, of the same humane nature. This is a near and an honourable Conjunction; for by this means Jesus Christ is become our Immanuel, God with us, bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh: but yet this Conjunction is common to all, sanctified and unsanctified, profane and holy; and verily it will be found an high aggravation of sin in the great day, that sinners should dare to profane and prostitute that nature to sinful purposes, ²which the Son of God hath sanctified by so wonderful an assumption of it into one and the same personality with the divine nature. Thus the sanctified are one with him that sanctifieth, but that's not all.
