1. By the Obedience of the Life of Christ, you see what is intended: his willing submission unto, and perfect complete fulfilling ⟨p. 184⟩of every Law of God, that any of the Saints of God were obliged unto. It is true, every Act almost of Christs obedience, from the blood of his Circumcision, to the blood of his Cross, was attended with suffering; so that his whole life might in that regard be called a death: But yet looking upon his willingness 1and obedience in it, it is distinguished from his sufferings peculiarly so called, and termed his Active Righteousness. This is then I say, as was showed, that complete absolutely perfect Accomplishment of the whole Law of God by Christ, our Mediator; whereby He not only did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth, but also most perfectly fulfilled all Righteousness, as He affirmed it became him to do.
