Now this singular Exaltation of Jesus Christ as it properly respects his humane nature which alone is capable of advancement, for in respect of his divine nature he never ceased to be the most high. So it was done to him as a common person, and as the head of all believers, their representative in this as well as in his other works. God therein showing what in due time he intends to do with the persons of his Elect, after they in Conformity to Christ have suffered a while. What ever God the Father intendeth to do in us or for us, he hath first done it to the person of our representative, Jesus Christ. And this if you observe, the Scriptures carry in very clear and plain expressions through all the degrees and steps of Christs Exaltation, viz. his Resurrection, Ascension, Session at the right hand of God. And returning to Judge the World. Of which I purpose to speak distinctly in the following Sermons.

He rose from the Dead as a common person, Col. 3.1. If ye then be risen with Christ, saith the Apostle, so that the Saints have Communion and fellowship with him in his Resurrection.
