I will touch it a little, because it is a point of faith, that helps our judgement a little. It is a ground of Divinity, that whatsoever is in us that are members, it is in our head first, for God is first, and then Christ mediator, and then we, whatsoever is good is in us, or shall be to us, it is in Christ first. He is justified from our sins, for he was our surety for sin, he was abased for them first: therefore he shall appear then without sin to Glory. Our sin was but imputed to Christ, he became our surety for sin, and he must be abased, therefore we cannot be glorious here, because of our corruptions. Christ was surety for our sins in his first coming: now his resurrection showed, that he had satisfied for our sins; the second time he shall appear in glory: why are we justified from our sins? because Christ, our surety, was acquitted.

We ascend glorious to heaven, where is the ground of it? he ascended first, and we ascend for him and in him.
