Asser. 1. Jesus Christ that holy thing, Luk. 1.35. was a fit high Priest, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, Heb. 7.26. Which of you (saith Christ to the Jews) convinceth me of sin, Joh. 8.46. There could not be a spot in this Lamb sacrificed for the sins of the world, no prick in this Rose, no cloud in this fair Sun, no blemish in this beautiful Well-beloved.

Asser. 2. An absolute, resolved will or desire of heart, to lust after that which God forbiddeth in his Law, must be a sinful jarring between the creature's and the Creator's will. Now, Christ's will was conditional, and clearly submissive; it lay ever level with his Father's holy will.
