Chapter 10 › Section 18: §. 18. Of a body prepared for Christ.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
2. A body is fit for a sacrifice, fit to be slain, fit to have bloodshed out of it, fit to be offered up, fit to be made a price, and a ransom for our sins, fit to answer the types under the law. Pertinently therefore to this purpose is it said of Christ, He himself bare our sins in his own body, 1 Pet. 2. 24. 3. Those infirmities wherein he was made like unto us, (Chap. 2. v. 14, 17.) were most conspicuously evidenced in his body. 4. Hereby he was manifested to be a true man. Nothing could more evidently declare as much, then a body. To this purpose tends the word flesh, frequently used to set forth the humane nature of Christ, (John 1. 14.) and sometimes blood is added thereunto, thus, flesh and blood. See Chap. 2. v. 14. §. 137.
2. A body is fit for a sacrifice, fit to be slain, fit to have bloodshed out of it, fit to be offered up, fit to be made a price, and a ransome for our sins, fit to answer the types under the law. Pertinently therefore to this purpose is it said of Christ, He himself bare our sins in his own body, 1 Pet. 2. 24. 3. Those infirmities wherein he was made like unto us, (Chap. 2. v. 14, 17.) were most conspicuously evidenced in his body. 4. Hereby he was manifested to be a true man. Nothing could more evidently declare as much, then a body. To this purpose tends the word flesh, frequently used to set forth the humane nature of Christ, (Iohn 1. 14.) and sometimes blood is added thereunto, thus, flesh and blood. See Chap. 2. v. 14. §. 137.
This shows that Christ was a true man: that he had a body like ours, a body subject to manifold infirmities, and to death it self. Of these points, see Chap. 2. v. 9. §. 75. and v. 14. §. 139, 140. and v. 17. §. 169.
