IN these words are contained the third part of the Epistle, namely the conclusion of it, and it is nothing else but a lauding and praising of God: wherein three things are to be noted▪ first the person praised, which is Christ the second person in the Trinity, the Son of the eternal Father▪ this appeareth by two reasons in the words: first, because he is here described to be a Judge that doth present all men before himself, which is proper to the Son of God. Secondly, because he is called our Saviour, which is the title of Christ, according to the name Jesus▪ And yet ⟨p. 147⟩here must be noted that in this praising of the Son, the Father and the holy Ghost are not excluded: for as the nature of the three persons is all one, so is their worship all one also. The second point be the reasons or inducements moving us to praise Christ, which be three. The first drawn from his power: To him which is able &c. The second from his wisdom: To God only wise. The third from the work of our redemption and salvation: Our Saviour. The third point is the praise it self, in these words: Be glory, and majesty, and dominion, and power, both now and for ever, Amen. Of these points in order. And first of the person to whom this praise is given.
