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

1. That whatever was required of us by virtue of any Law, that he did and fulfilled. Whatever was required of us, by the §. 9 Law of nature in our state of innocency, whatever kind of duty was added by morally positive, or ceremonial institutions, whatever is required of us in way of Obedience to Righteous Judicial Laws, He did it all. Hence he is said to be made under the Law: Gal. 4. 4. subject or obnoxious to it, to all the precepts or commands of it. So Math. 3. 15. He said, it became him to ¹fulfil all Righteousness, [Greek or Hebrew], all manner of Righteousness whatever; that is every thing that God required, as is evident from the application of that general axiom to the baptism of John. I shall not need for this to go to particular instances, in the duties of the Law of nature, to God and his parents: of morally positive in the Sabbath, and other acts of worship; of the Ceremonial Law, in Circumcision, and observation of all the rites of the Judaical Church; of the Judicial, in paying tribute to Governors. It will suffice I presume that on the one hand He did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, and on the other, that He fulfilled all Righteousness, and thereupon the Father was always well pleased with him: This was that which he owned of himself, that He came to do the will of God, and he did it.

1. That whatever was required of us by vertue of any Law, that he did and fullfiled. Whatever was required of us, by the §. 9 Law of nature in our state of innocency, whatever kind of duty was added by morally positive, or ceremoniall institutions, whatever is required of us in way of Obedience to Righteous Judiciall Lawes, He did it all. Hence he is said to be made under the Law: Gal. 4. 4. subject or obnoxious to it, to all the precepts or commands of it. So Math. 3. 15. He said, it became him to ¹fullfill all Righteousnesse, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, all manner of Righteousnesse whatever; that is every thing that God required, as is evident from the application of that generall axiome to the baptisme of John. I shall not need for this to goe to particular instances, in the duties of the Law of nature, to God and his parents: of morally positive in the Sabath, and other acts of worship; of the Ceremoniall Law, in Circumcision, and observation of all the rites of the Judaicall Church; of the Judiciall, in paying tribute to Governours. It will suffice I presume that on the one hand He did no sinne, neither was guile found in his mouth, and on the other, that He fullfilled all Righteousnesse, and thereupon the Father was allways well pleased with him: This was that which he owned of himselfe, that He came to doe the will of God, and he did it.
