THE Things whereof we have thus far discoursed, relating immediately unto the Person of Christ in it self, may seem to have somewhat of Difficulty in them, unto such whose Minds are not duly exercised in the Contemplation of Heavenly Things. Unto others they are evident in their own Experience, and instructive unto them that are willing to learn. That which remains will be yet more plain unto the Understanding and Capacity of the meanest Believer. And this is the Glory of Christ in his Office of Mediator, and the Discharge thereof.
IN our beholding of the Glory of Christ herein, doth the Exercise of Faith in this Life principally consist; so the Apostle declares it, Phil. 3. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Yea doubtless, and I count all things loss for the Excellency of the Knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.—To know him, and the Power of his Resurrection, and the Fellowship of his Sufferings, and to be made conformable unto his Death. This ⟨p. 59⟩therefore we must treat of somewhat more at large.
