For excellency the foundation of glory, that was alway with him, in his very abasement; but now it was manifested: he was mightily declared to be the Son of God, by raising himself from the dead: he was declared to be glorious in all those things, wherein he could be glorious. As no person can be glorious, but either it must be in body or soul, or condition; he was glorious in all: for, he was received up into the place of glory, to Heaven, to the assembly of glory, to the presence of his Father, and the blessed Saints and Angels; and no question, but there was a glorious welcome. If the Angels came so cheerfully to proclaim his Incarnation, when he was borne, and sang, Glory be to God on high, on Earth peace, good will towards men: What kind of triumph do you think, was made by all the blessed company in Heaven, when he was entertained thither, after his abasement? It is beyond our conceits, to imagine.
