Christ the best husband

1. Do you desire one that is great? He is of the highest dignity: none ever did or could climb into so high a seat, or attain such excellent Majesty, as that which Christ is exalted unto; he is exalted above all the Kings of the Earth, Rev. 19. 16. He ⟨p. 19⟩hath on his vesture, and on his thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Yea, he is exalted above the Angels in Heaven, and none have such authority; 1 Pet. 3. 22. Who is gone into Heaven; Angels, and Authority, and Powers being made subject unto him; He is the firstborn of every creature; by whom, and for whom, all things were created; He is before all things, and by him all things do consist; He is the Head of the Church, the beginning, the first born from the dead, and as over all persons, so in all things he hath the preeminence. Col. 1. 15, 16, 17, 18. He is the brightness of his Fathers glory, the express image of his person, Heb. 1. 3. He is the glory of Heaven, the darling of eternity, admired by Angels, dreaded by Devils, adored by Saints. If the meanest Beggar should be matched unto the greatest earthly Prince that ever lived, it would not be such an advancement unto her, as for you to be espoused to the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of glory, whose honour and dignity you will partake of, in, and by this relation.
