'Twas an act of mighty power for God so nearly to unite the Godhead and the Manhood; the bringing of two Natures (so distant) together in one Person must needs be the product of infinite power. For God to make something out of nothing, that speaks the greatness of his Power; but for God to be made Man, there being (in some respects) a greater distance betwixt the Godhead and the Manhood than 'twixt Something and Nothing, this speaks a greater power. 'Tis much that Soul and Body (two such different Beings ) should be so conjoyn'd as to make a Man, that such disagreeing Elements should be reconcil'd in corpore mixto; but what are these to the joyning of the Godhead and Manhood in one hypostasis? (3.) His Justice: Is sin committed? the holy Law broken? doth the Creature lye under guilt? God stands upon the vindication of his Honour, the making good of his threatnings, the satisfaction of his Justice: Satisfaction he will have, |
