Chapter › Section 31: §. 31. Of Christs sitting and standing in Heaven.
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.
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.
And to show that this his abode and continuance hath no set date, this indefinite1 and everlasting phrase, for ever, is in other places added; as Chap. 7. 25. and 10. 12.2
