- 1Christ as Mediator of a yield-and condescending Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus Christ condescended in every thing to do his Father's Will; nevertheless, ⟨p. 51⟩Not my Will, but thy Will be done; tho he was a Son, 1yet learned he Obedience by the things which he suffered: He stuck at nothing; I did not withhold my Face from Shame and Spitting. No Mediator ever condescended as Christ did,2 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own Glory, but he that seeketh his Glory that sent him, the same is true, and there is no Unrighteousness in him: All his whole design in his working about our Redemption and Reconciliation, was to advance his Father's Glory; and he complied to do whatsoever was requisite in order thereto.
