2. This glory is eternal, not like the glory of the world, which the devil showed in a moment, it quickly passed away, but this will abide for ever; not but that Christ shall at last give up this Kingdom into his Fathers hands again; He shall no more discharge the acts of an Advocate or Intercessor for us in heaven, only the glory of this shall always continue; It shall to all Eternity be recorded, that he was the Mediator; That he is the Saviour who hath brought us to life and immortality; Thus to all eternity the tongue of all the Saints shall be employed in celebrating this glory.

Use of Instruction, Is Christ thus glorified by the Father? then take this as a sure pledge of thy glorification in time; It cannot be that he should have glory alone himself; No, in this prayer he saith, Father, I will, that they be where I am; Oh let this comfort and animate thee, my glorified head is in heaven, and will in time make a glorified member suitable to him.
