Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Standing also importeth as much, namely continuance and perseverance in a thing. To express this emphasis of the word, we do oft translate it thus; stand fast, 1as 1 Cor. 16. 13. Stand fast in the faith. And Gal. 5. 1. Stand fast in the liberty, &c. where the original Greek saith of the devil (Joh. 8. 44.) he STOOD not in the truth, our English hath it thus, he ABODE not, &c.

Wherefore by both these metaphors (sitting and standing) Christs abode and continuance in Heaven, as our high-Priest, Prince and Prophet, and that for us, is plainly set out.
