Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

That Obedience is properly ascribed unto Jesus Christ, as §. 6 Mediator, the Scripture is witness, both as to name and thing. Heb. 5. 8. Though he were a Son yet learned he obedience &c. yea he was obedient in his sufferings, and it was that which gave life to his death: Phil. 2. 8. He was obedient to death; for therein, He did make his soul an offering for sin. Isa. 53. 10. or His soul made an offering for sin as it is interpreted v. 12. He poured out his soul to death, or his soul poured out its self unto death. And He not only Sanctified himself to be an offering, Joh. 17. 9. But he also offered up himself, Heb. 9. 14. an offering of a sweet savour to God: Ephes. 5. 2. Hence as to the whole of his work, He is called the Father's Servant, Isa. 42. 1. and v. 19. And He professes of himself that he came into the world, to do the will of God, the will of him that sent him; for which he manifests his great readiness, Heb. 10. 7. all which evince his obedience. But I suppose I need not insist on the proof of this, that Christ in the work ⟨p. 178⟩of mediation, and as Mediator, was obedient and did what He did, willingly and cheerfully in obedience to God.
