5. THE Glory of this Obedience ariseth principally from the Consideration of the Person, who thus yielded it unto God. This was no other but the Son of God made Man; God and Man in one Person. He who was in Heaven, above all, Lord of all, at the same time lived in the World in a Condition of no Reputation, and a Course of the strictest Obedience unto the whole Law of God. He unto whom Prayer was made, prayed himself Night and Day. He whom all the Angels of ⟨p. 86⟩Heaven, and all Creatures worshipped, was continually conversant in all the Duties of the Worship of God. He who was over the House, diligently observed the meanest Office of the House. He that made all Men, in whose Hand they are all as Clay in the Hand of the Potter, observed amongst them the strictest Rules of Justice, in giving unto every one his Due, and of Charity, in giving good things that were not so due. This is that which renders the Obedience of Christ in the Discharge of his Office, both mysterious and glorious.

2. AGAIN, The Glory of Christ is proposed unto us in what he suffered in the Discharge of the Office which he had undertaken. There belonged indeed unto his Office, Victory, Success, and Triumph with great Glory,
