Who is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, upholding all things by the word of his power, and having by himself purged our sins, sate down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, being made better than the Angels, &c. Heb. 1. 3, 4. By him it is that glory is given to God in the Church, Eph. 3. 21. God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth, and that every tongue should confess, that Jesus is Christ to the glory of God the Father, Phil. 2. 9, 10, 11.

The Father hath glorified his name in his Son. John 12. 28. & 13. 31, 32. & 14. 13. & 17. 1.
