Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

6. The Redemption of the Church by Christ is the talk and discourse we shall have in Heaven, the Angels and Glorified Spirits are blessing, and praising him for this, Rev. 5. 9. Thou art worthy for thou wert slain, and hast Redeemed us to God by thy Blood. The Angels verse 12. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom and streneth and glory, and honour and blessing. The Redeemed Church and glorified Saints and Angels have all one song and ⟨p. 70⟩one praise, the honour of the Lamb that was slain.

7. It is an instructive pattern to us, that Christ in the midst of his Transfiguration, and the Glory, which was then put upon him forgot not his Death. In the greatest advancements we should think of our desolation, if Christ in all his Glory discoursed of his death, surely it more becometh us, as necessary for us to prevent the surfeit of Worldly pleasures; we should think of the change that is coming, For surely every man at his best estate is vanity, Psalm 39. 5. In some places they were wont to present a deaths head at their solemn Feasts; merry days will not always last, death will soon put an end to the vain pleasures we enjoy here, and the most shining glory will be burnt out to a snuff.
