The exaltation of Christs humane nature above all things, may be understood two ways: either in re-pect of the local placing, as this, he ascended above all the heavens, that the meaning may be, the humane nature was placed locally above all created things: or in respect of the excellent preeminence of the dignity ⟨p. 409⟩and power thereof, & then the meaning may be, Christ even touching his humane nature was set over all created things, and to him was given power and authority over all things. For in these two manners any thing of the same kind is said to be over another, eiin place, or in dignity.
