The Mediatorial obedience of Christ,1 according to the Dialogue, consists of those acts of his obedience which he did actuate by the joint concurrence of both his natures, some whereof, viz. many mediatorial prayers of his intercession, though they were acted by him before 30 years of age, yet the far greater part of the acts thereof, and all the public actions were performed after he was thirty years of age, viz. after his public installing into the office of Mediatorship, Mat. 3. See pag. 112. 113. amongst the which mediatorial acts of his obedience is his giving up his Manhood by the power of his Divine nature to suffer a natural death, such and no other as the sons of Zebedee suffered, Mar. 10.39. Pag. 46. without suffering any degree of Gods wrath at all, either in soul or body, pag. 2. yet so as the Divine nature separated his soul from his body, which was the master-piece, and was accepted of God the Father as the price and meritorious procuring cause of our Redemption, pag. 86. for that was the most precious thing that either God the Father could require, or that the Mediator could perform for our atonement or redemption, pag. 87.
