Samuel Rutherford

A Survey of the Spiritual Antichrist…  (1648), pt. 1, p. 166

“There was a comparative self-denial required in Adam, and is in the man Christ and the elect angels, though no sinful self was in any of these three, and it is that the sinless creature should yield its being, lust [cravings], will and desires rather to be trampled on, despised or turned to nothing before God be dishonored.”
