OF the same Nature are the immediate Testimonies given unto him from Heaven in the New Testament: So the Apostle tells us, he received from God the Father, honour, and glory, when there came such a Voice unto him from the excellent Glory, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, 2 Pet. 1. 17. The Apostle intends the Time of his Transfiguration in the Mount, for so he adds, Ver. 18. And this Voice which came from Heaven, we heard who were with him in the holy Mount. Howbeit, at sundry other times he had the same Testimony, or to the same purpose, from God, even the Father in Heaven. Herein God gave him Honour and Glory, which all those that believe in him should behold and admire; not only those who heard this Testimony with their bodily Ears, but all unto whom it is testified in the Scripture, are obliged to look after, and contemplate on the Glory of Christ, as thus revealed and proposed. From the Throne of his Excellency by audible Voices, by visible Signs, by the opening of the Heavens above, by the descent of the holy Spirit upon him, God testified unto him as his eternal Son, and gave him therein Honour and Glory. The Thoughts of this Divine Testimony, and the Glory of Christ therein, hath often filled the Hearts of some with Joy and Delight.
