1. The manner of it. He doth not appear in the form of a Suppliant upon his Knees before the Throne, offering up tears and strong cries as in the day of his flesh, but He sits at Gods right hand making ⟨p. 272⟩intercession for us. He solicits our Salvation, not as a favour to him▪ but as the price of his Sufferings, and as due to his infinite Merit. His Blood in the same manner pleads for our Pardon, as the blood of righteous Abel called for vengeance against the Murderer:1 Not by an articulate voice, but by suing to Justice for a full recompense of it. In short, His Intercession is the continual representation of his most worthy Passion.
