It was showed before v. 6. §. 18. that by the body of Christ, his whole humane […] is understood. We may further add that Christs whole person, God-man is […] intended: not that the deity was sacrificed, but that it had a peculiar work in t•s sacrifice: namely, to support him that offered himself, and to sanctify that sa•fice, and to add dignity thereto. Therefore it is said, that it was the body of Jes•s Christ, which titles set forth, both the natures of him who was the sacrifice […] intended. Of these two titlet, Jesus Christ, see chap. 3. v. 1. §. 29. Of this word •ing, see chap. 5. v. 1. §. 6. The notation of the Greek word implieth a bringing […]: the common use of it, an Offering up. And here it intendeth, that Christs body was given up as a price and ransom, and offered up as a sacrifice. See chap. 9. v. 14. §. 79. & 89. Herein lieth a main difference betwixt the body of Christ, and the bodies of Martyrs put to death. None but Christ was offered up for a sacrifice: others ought be to seal the truth of the Gospel, and to be an example of constancy unto others.
