Inference 3.
1Is Christ set down on the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven, O with what awful reverence should we approach him in the duties of his Worship! Away with light and low thoughts of Christ. Away with formal irreverent, and careless frames in Praying, Hearing, Receiving, yea, in conferring and speaking of Christ. Away with all deadness, and drowsiness in duties, For he is a great King with whom you have to do. A King to whom the Kings of the earth are but as little bits of clay. Lo the Angels cover their faces in his presence. He is an Adorable Majesty.
- 1Infer. 3.
When John had a vision of this enthroned King, about sixty year after his ascension; such was the over-powering glory of Christ, as the Sun when it shineth in its strength; that when he saw him, he fell at his feet as dead, and died it's like he had, if Christ had not not laid his hand on him and said, fear not, I am the first and the last; I am he that liveth, and was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore, Rev. 1.17, 18. When he appeared to Saul in the way to Damascus, it was in glory above ⟨p. 585⟩the glory of the Sun, which over powered him also, and laid him as one dead upon the ground.
