1. The Object in highest Perfection; When our Lord Jesus Christ, not considered merely as God, but as God-Man, is exalted, and made as Glorious as Glory could any way make him; when he is exalted, by way of remuneration for what he had done, for what he had suffered, ⟨p. 15⟩for what he had achieved and accomplished by his doing and suffering, And he is now in all that most perfect Dignity and Glory that belongs to him on that account; This consideration we are to have of the Glorious Object. We are to consider the high and most absolute Perfection of That PERSON, the most Wonderful One that ever was, and of which neither created Nature, nor uncreated, affords the like; that is, such a Person, in which all the Excellencies of created and uncreated Nature did meet, or were united; and all that Felicity, and Glory, and Blessedness, that This Person, according to either Nature, and both together, doth enjoy; Here is the Object wherewith we are to Communicate.
