3 3Jesus Christ had all manner of aggravating circumstances met together in his sufferings. He was made of a woman; now that he who made the woman should be made of a woman, and become and be made a Son to the work of his own hands, was a degree of suffering: he that made the Law, was made under the Law, Gal 4.4. He that was Lord of all, was made in the form of a servant, and though equal to God, yet came in sinful flesh, and so obeyed as a servant, of which these sayings speak (as Dr. Jackson observes) I •ame not to do mine own will, but the will of ⟨p. 118⟩him that sent me, &c. and suffered as a sinner, for so he was judged, and as such put to death, though his Judge confessed he found no fault in him; yea, more then this, he became a curse, Gal. 3.13. yea, which is the worst of words, he became sin for us, 1 Cor. 5.21.
