§. 125. Of Christs going with those whom he lead to God.
This Pronoun of the first person, I, hath respect to the Son of God, who very elegantly, by a double rhetorical figure, is here brought in speaking to his Father: and that by way of rejoicing for the good success of his Ministry, Behold I and the children, &c.

But on the other side, slothfulness and unprofitableness makes servants afraid to appear before their Lord▪ See all these exemplified, Matth. 25. 20, &c.
