Consider him in his Exaltation, in his glorious Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven, how doth the soul feed upon that, Christ our Surety is risen again, therefore our debt is discharged, the justice of God is satisfied to the full; so for his Ascension, when the soul is basely minded on earthly things, it ascends to Christ who is taken up to Heaven ⟨p. 178⟩for us: so his sitting at the right hand of God, the soul feeds on that, because he sits there till he have triumphed over all his enemies, till he have trod them all under foot.
Consider him in his Exaltation, in his glorious Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven, how doth the soule feed upon that, Christ our Surety is risen againe, therfore our debt is discharged, the justice of God is satisfied to the full; so for his Ascension, when the soule is basely minded on earthly things, it ascends to Christ who is taken up to Heaven ⟨p. 178⟩for us: so his sitting at the right hand of God, the soule feedes on that, because he sits there till hee have triumphed over all his enemies, till he have trod them all under foot.
Consider him in his Offices. In ignorance the soul feeds on him as a Prophet to instruct it; in the sense of wrath and anger the soul feeds on him as a Priest to make peace and reconciliation: in want of righteousness, the soul feeds on his righteousness, he is our righteousness: In the sense of corruption, the soul feeds on him as a King, that by his Spirit will ere long work out all corruption, that as he will tread down all our enemies without, so he will tread down all corruption within▪ he will never leave the soul till he have made it a glorious house fit for himself.
