The Lord Jesus, in his humane nature thus united to the divine, was sanctified and anointed with the holy Spirit, above measure,a having in him all the treasures of wisdome and knowledge;b in whom, it pleased the Father, that all fullnesse should dwell;c to the end, that being holy, harmlesse, undefiled, and full of grace and truth,d he might be thorowly furnished to execute the Office of a Mediator, and Surety.e Which Office he took not unto himself, but was thereunto called by his Father,f who put all power and judgement into his hand, and gave him commandment to execute the same.g
