A fourth volume containing one hundred and fifty sermons on several texts of Scripture…

1. For the Comfort of the Saints, to show that Christ in all his Glory will not forget himself to be a Saviour. At the Day of Judgment when he comes forth like the great God with all his Heavenly Train, then he will own us, and will be as tender of us as he was upon the Cross. The Butler in his Advancement when he was at Court and well at Ease, forgot Joseph in Prison: but Christ in his Advancement doth not grow shy and stately. We may have Boldness in the great Day, for he will not only come as the great God, but also as our Saviour. We have the like Expression, Heb. 8.1, 2. We have such an high Priest who is set on the right Hand of the ⟨p. 148⟩Throne of Majesty in the Heavens: And what follows? a Minister of the Sanctuary. Jesus Christ certainly had a gracious Welcome into Heaven, and was exalted by the Father; but even now he is our faithful Agent in Heaven. This is made to be the Excellency and Height of his Condescension, that he came in the Form of a Servant, in the Fashion of an ordinary Man, poor and despicable: then he came to do the Church Service, and now he is gone to Heaven in all his Glory, still he is there as a Servant, as one that is to negotiate with God for holy things, to tender our Prayers to the Lord, and to pass out Blessings to us: this is Christ's Employment in Heaven.

The Butler in his Advancement when he was at Court and well at Ease, forgot Ioseph in Prison: but Christ in his Advancement doth not grow shy and stately. We may have Boldness in the great Day, for he will not only come as the great God, but also as our Saviour. We have the like Expression, Heb. 8.1, 2.

Jesus Christ certainly had a gracious Welcome into Heaven, and was exalted by the Father; but even now he is our faithful Agent in Heaven. This is made to be the Excellency and Height of his Condescention, that he came in the Form of a Servant, in the Fashion of an ordinary Man, poor and despicable: then he came to do the Church Service, and now he is gone to Heaven in all his Glory, still he is there as a Servant, as one that is to negotiate with God for holy things, to tender our Prayers to the Lord, and to pass out Blessings to us: this is Christ's Imployment in Heaven.
