In the uplhot <strong>of</strong> his life, as (bon as he had fuIBllcd all<br />

am >ng the ad^iom <strong>of</strong> his humane nature, and his obedience to<br />
the law <strong>of</strong> nKdrator-fhip muft be ranked among his mediatorial<br />
adion which he perfoi med by the pcr/bnal union <strong>of</strong> both his natures,<br />
and b\' this rule <strong>of</strong> diftindion, I can find no other place<br />
