For proof of this, take the Apostles Exhortation, Ephe. 5.2. Walk in love, as Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering, and a sacrifice to God. Here are Three things considerable. First, He does not say, Who hath redeemed us: but, to show his great love unto us, Who hath given himself for us: He doth not say, Who hath given himself for our sins: Yet he says so, in Gal. 1.4. Who gave himself for our sins; But, Who gave himself for us. Why? To show, who they were that he gave himself for: He gave himself for us, as sinners. Again, He says here, He gave ⟨p. 9⟩himself for us, an offering, and a sacrifice, not only an offering, but a sacrifice too. So that this first Proposition is clearly proved, That our Lord Jesus, when he died upon the Cross, he did offer up himself as a sacrifice unto God the Father.
