III. The Lord Jesus, in his humane nature thus united to the divine, was sanctified and anointed with the holy Spirit, above measure, having in him all the treasures ⟨p. 17⟩of wisdom and knowledge; in whom, it pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell; to the end, that being holy, harmless, undefiled, and full of grace and truth, he might be thoroughly furnished to execute the Office of a Mediator, and Surety. Which Office he took not unto himself, but was thereunto called by his Father, who put all power and judgement into his hand, and gave him commandment to execute the same.

IV. This Office, the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake; which that he might discharge, he was made under the Law, and did perfectly fulfil it, endured most grievous torments immediately in his Soul, and most painful sufferings in his Body; was crucified, and died; was buried, and remained under the power of death; yet saw no corruption. On the third day he arose from the dead, with the same body in which he suffered, with which also he ascended into Heaven, and there sitteth at the right hand of his Father, making intercession, and shall return to Judge, men, and Angels, at the end of the World.
