3. Jesus Christ took the form of a servant, that he might perform that active obedience to the Law of God, which that order doth owe unto the Law, and thereby merit that reward, that part of the Inheritance which was by the covenant of works, due unto the perfect observation of those Laws. And this merit of Jesus Christ is imputed to us that believe, by the covenant of grace. So that by taking the form of a servant Jesus Christ performed both active & passive obedience to God, the fruit whereof is made ours by the Gospel. Jesus Christ did fulfil all righteousness. Mat. 3.15. whereof this is no small part, in his obedience to the fifth commandment.
