2. Such were the most precious Merits of his Obedience, that it was not only sufficient to free the guilty contaminated race of Mankind from Hell, but to purchase for them the Kingdom of Heaven. If we consider his Human Nature, all Graces were born with him, as Rays with the Sun, and shined in the whole course of his Life in the excellence of perfection. And the dignity of his divine Person derived an immense value to all he performed as Mediator. One act of his Obedience was more honourable to God than all the Lives of the Saints, the Deaths of the Martyrs, and the Service of the Angels. God was more pleased in the Obedience of his Beloved Son, than he was provoked by the Rebellion of his Servants. Therefore, as the just recompense of it, he constituted him to be Universal Head of the Church, supreme Judg of the World; invested him with Divine Glory, and ⟨p. 72⟩with Power to communicate it to his faithful Servants. He is the Prince of Life. In short, it is as much upon the account of Christ's Sufferings that we are glorified, as that we are forgiven. The Wounds he received in his Body, the Characters of Ignominy, and Footsteps of Death, are the Fountains of our Glory. His Abasement is the cause of our Exaltation.
