-Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and 10

enter into his glory? Luke xxiv. 26.. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom

are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through

sufferings. Heb. ij. 10. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience, by the

things which he suffered: And, being made perfect, he became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Heb. v. 8, 9.
