Again, If the Lord Christ be entered in Heaven as our Forerunner, it is our Duty to be following of him with all the speed we can. And it is required hereunto. (1) That we be willing to follow him, in the way wherein he went, as well as unto the place whither he is gone. And the way he went was, (1) The way of Obedience, chap. 5. 8, 9. (2) The way of suffering, chap. 12. 2. Holiness and the Cross are the two Essential parts of the way whereby our Forerunner entered into Glory. (2) That we burden not our selves with any thing that will retard us, chap. 12. 1.
