THAT which we enquire after at present, is the Glory of Christ herein, and how we may behold that ⟨p. 60⟩Glory. And there are three things wherein we may take a prospect of it.
1. IN his Susception of this Office. 2. In his Discharge of it. 3. In the Event and Consequence thereof or what ensued thereon.
IN the Susception of this Office we may behold the Glory of Christ. (1.) In his Condescension. (2.) In his Love.
IN the Susception of this Office we may behold the Glory of Christ. (1.) In his Condescention. (2.) In his Love.
1. WE may behold his Glory in his Infinite Condescension to take this Office on him, and our Nature to be his own unto that end. It did not befall him by Lot or Chance; it was not imposed on him against his Will; it belonged not unto him by any Necessity of Nature or Condition, he stood not in need of it; it was no addition unto him; but of his own Mind and Accord he graciously condescended unto the Susception and Discharge of it.
