2. Christs triumphant session and intercession at His Fathers right hand. Which may for ever, with sweetest peace, and freedom from slavish trembling, assure us of our rootedness in Christ, constancy in grace, and everlasting abode with him in the other World. He that will rent us from Christs mystical Body, being once implanted into Him by a lively fruitful Faith, and blessedly knit unto Him by His Spirit, as fast as the sinews of His precious Body are knit unto His bones, His flesh to his sinews, and his skin to His flesh; must pull Him out of heaven, and remove Him from the right hand of His Father. What so furious or infernal power can or dare lay a finger on us in this kind! He hath taken the poisoning power out of every thing, that should hurt us, or hale us back to hell. He hath conquered, captivated, carried in triumph, and chained up for ever all the enemies of our souls, and enviers of our salvation. They may exercise us in the mean time for our good; but they shall never be able to execute their malicious wills, or any mortal hurt upon us, either here, or in the next life.
2. Christs triumphant session and intercession at His Fathers right hand. Which may for euer, with sweetest peace, and freedome from slauish trembling, assure vs of our rootednesse in Christ, constancie in grace, and euerlasting abode with him in the other World. Hee that will rent vs from Christs mysticall Body, being once implanted into Him by a liuely fruitfull Faith, and blessedly knit vnto Him by His Spirit, as fast as the sinewes of His precious Body are knit vnto His bones, His flesh to his sinewes, and his skinne to His flesh; must pull Him out of heauen, and remoue Him from the right hand of His Father. What so furious or infernall power can or dare lay a finger on vs in this kinde! Hee hath taken the poisoning power out of euery thing, that should hurt vs, or hale vs backe to hell. He hath conquered, captiuated, carried in triumph, and chained vp for euer all the enemies of our soules, and enuiers of our saluation. They may exercise vs in the meane time for our good; but they shall neuer be able to execute their malicious wils, or any mortall hurt vpon vs, either heere, or in the next life.
