That surpassing glory, unto which the human Nature of our Saviour was advanced, to be invested with his power and authority, to be berr•sted with this work, and to be taken, as it were, into Par•neship with the Father, for the accomplishment, of that, which was far greater than the creating of millions of worlds.

That it should be in the liberty of the human Nature, to use all the Attributes of God, for the good of his Church, and to dispense all by his own hand, So that nothing should be done but by Christ: nothing received but through Christ from the Father; here the crown of all glory is set upon the Father & the Son at once. This is the scope of that dispute and the ground of this dispensation. Joh. 5.18, 19. What the Father doth; that he doth; and that, because he hath showed him all things, and he will show him greater than those, that ye may wonder &c. For as he shall raise up the dead, So the Son shall quicken whom he will. The end is, That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father: and he that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father. There is no receiving any thing from God, but by him. No returning any thing to God, but through him. Thus ye shall find the honour of both stand and fall together. Math. 10.40. He that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me Luk. 10.16. He that despiseth me, despiseth him, that sent me.
