THERE are three ways whereby the Glory of Christ is represented unto us in the Scripture. First, by direct Descriptions of his glorious Person and Incarnation. See among other places, Gen. 3. 15. Psal. 2. 7, 8, 9. Psal. 45. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Psal. 68. 17, 18. Psal. 110. Isa. 6. 1, 2, 3, 4. Chap. 9. 6. Zech. 2. 8. Joh. 1. 1, 2, 3. Phil. 2. 6, 7, 8. Heb. 1. 1, 2, 3. Chap. 2. 14, 15, 16. Rev. 1. 17, 18. Secondly, by Prophecies, Promises and express Instructions concerning him, all leading unto the Contemplation of his Glory, which are innumerable. Thirdly, By the sacred Institutions of Divine Worship under the Old Testament: For the end of them all was to represent unto the Church the Glory of Christ in the Discharge of his Office, as we shall see afterwards.
WE may take notice of an Instance in one kind under the Old Testament, and of one and another under the New.
