1. Christs glorification is a plain demonstration of his Conquest over all our Enemies; For had death and the grave, or the Prince of this world been prevailing over him still, he could not have been glorified,1 and so that would have been true, he did not save himself, and therefore could not save others; Therefore it's a most comfortable saying, and worthy of all acceptation, to hear that Christ is glorified, for this proclaimeth to all, that no enemy could have any power over him, that all our adversaries are vanquished; That our David hath killed the Goliath, so then hear this Truth with comfort, with attention, it concerneth all the godly; It's blessed news to hear Christ is glorified, ⟨p. 26⟩for then thy sins, thy guilt, thy death, and every thing thou fearest is conquered; If any of these do accuse thee, say, if a discharge had not been fully made, how could Christ be glorified?
