Christ Dying and Drawing Sinners to Himself

for our conception ⟨p. 286⟩can reach no higher then time, and created things. 4. For greatness of Majesty. 5. For lowliness of tender love. 6. For freeness of grace. 7. For glory diffused through all his Attributes. 8. For sovereignty and absoluteness of power, &c. who is like to our Lord Jesus? ¹9. For sweetness and loveliness of relations; the only begotten Son of God, no relation like this: The Creator of the ends of the earth, the Saviour, the good Shepherd, the Redeemer, the great Bishop of our souls, the Angel of the Covenant, the head of the body the Church, and of Principalities and Powers, the King of Ages, the Prince of peace, of the Kings of the earth; the living Ark of heaven, the Song of Angels and glorified Saints, but they cannot outsing him; the Joy and Glory of that land, the Flower and Crown of the Fathers delights, the sweet Rose of that Garden of solace and joy. Compare other things with Christ, and they bear no weight: cast into the balance with him Angels, and he is Wisdom, they but wise Men; they are liars, and lighter then vanity, and Christ is the Amen, the faithful Witness, the express Image of the Fathers substantial glory: Cast into the scales kings, all kings, and all their glory, he is the King of all these kings. Cast in millions of talents weight of glory, and gain, they are but bits of paper, and chaff, weight they have none to him. Cast in two worlds, that is nothing; add to the weight millions of heavens of heavens, the balance cannot down, the scales are unequal; Christ is a huge over-weight.
