But methinks I have yet said nothing of this Throne, which is indeed none other but the spotless, and glorified Humanity of the Son of God. This Throne is the Lord Jesus, this Grace comes from the Divine Majesty as dwelling bodily in the Lord Jesus. Wherefore let us fall down before the Throne, and cast our Crowns at the foot of the Throne, and give thanks to him that sits on the Throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever.
O how should Jesus be esteemed of! The Throne of the King is a Royal Seat. 'Tis said of Solomon's, 1there was not its like in ANY Kingdom; but of this it may be said, there is not its like in Heaven and Earth. At the setting up of this Throne the Angels flocked round about it, and 2the Beasts and the Elders gathered together to see it. When this Throne ⟨p. 67⟩was set in Heaven, there was silence, all the Heavenly Host had no leisure to talk; they were surprised with sight and wonder. When this Throne was set in Heaven, what talk there was, it was as the Music of the Trumpet.
