1. It was part of his Humiliation: Not only his death, but his abode and continuance in the state of death was so, and a principal part of it: For after the whole human Nature was united to the Person of the Son of God, to ⟨p. 208⟩have it brought into a state of dissolution, or to have the Body and Soul separated from each other, was a great Humiliation. And every, thing of this nature belonged to his Work, and not to his Rest.
2. This separation of Body and Soul under the Power of Death was penal, a part of the Sentence of the Law which he underwent. And therefore Peter declares, that the Pains of Death were not loosed but by his Resurrection, Acts 2. 24. This therefore could not be his Rest, or any part of it.
3. Nor did he first enter into his Rest, at his Ascension: then he indeed took possession of his Glory—But to enter into his Rest is one thing, and to take possession of Glory another. —And it is placed by the Apostle as the Consequent of his being justified in the Spirit.1
