1He sitteth at the right hand of God, and is worshipped of Angels and men. Hebr. 1. To which of the Angels hath he ever said, sit at my right hand? In the same place, all the Angels of God shall worship him. And 1 Pet. 3. vers. 22. to the Ephesians 1. verses 20.22.23. to the Philippians 2. verses 9.10. wherefore God lifted him up on high & hath given him a name, which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, both of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God the father. See the first to the Corinth.2 1. vers. 2. Acts 9. vers, 14. He hath power to judge both the quick and the dead; and so he is privy to all the thoughts, sayings and doings of men, and not only that, but also he is most just and mighty to execute sentence. 1. Cor. 4.5. Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will lighten things that are in darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts. Jo. 5. He hath given all judgement to the Son, that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the father. Mat. 3. His fan shall be in his hand, and he shall purge his floor, and gather his wheat into his garner, but will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. To discern hypocrites ⟨p. 79⟩from the faithful is the only work of God: and to gather these into heaven, and to thrust down the other into everlasting fire is also the only work of God.
