But the name, whereof is spoken in the words of the Apostle before alleged, is the excellency of the person and office of Christ, and a declaration of both by his visible majesty, that all may be forced to confess, that this is the King, by whom God ruleth all things. So also did Stephen see him standing on Gods right hand, adorned with visible majesty and glory, and worshipped him. Christ had some parts also before of his excellency, both of his office, and of his person, but he then came to the full perfection of all, when being taken up into heaven, he was placed at the right hand of the Father.

1By these parts now of Christs sitting at the right hand of the Father, the definition of his sitting may be made more full in this wise: When Christ is said to sit at the right hand of the Father, he is said, to have the same and equal power with the Father: To excel all Men and Angels in his humane nature, both in gifts bestowed on him more and greater than on them, as also in visible glory and majesty: To show himself Lord of Men and Angels, and of all things that are created: in the name of the Father, To rule and administer immediately his Kingdom in heaven, and the whole world, and chiefly, To govern by his power immediately the Church: Lastly, To be acknowledged and magnified of all, as chief Lord and Head. But how, and how many ways Christ is called our Head, hath been heretofore fully handled in the 32. Question of the Catechism.
