4. It makes our Obedience more ready, for Jesus Christ came to live by the same Law that we were bound to. Gal. 4. 4. When the Fullness of Time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a Woman, made under the Law. Yea to obey God at the dearest Rates. Heb. 5. 8, 9. Though he were a Son, yet learned he Obedience by the Things which he suffered: And being made perfect, he became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey him. He submitted unto and performed the whole Law, his Obedience cost him dear, since an ignominious and shameful Death was a part of it.

This also is the greatest Gift, for the other is in order to this; and this is the completing of it, and applying it for our Comfort. I shall prove it by three Reasons.
