A Body of Practical Divinity

2. Look upon Christ's Divine Nature: Christ may fitly be compared to Jacob's Ladder, Gen. 28.12. which reached from Earth to Heaven; Christ's Humane Nature was the foot of the Ladder which stood upon Earth, his Divine Nature the top of the Ladder, which reached to Heaven. This being a grand Article of our Faith, I shall amplify: I know the Arians, Socinians, Ebionites would rob Christ of the best Jewel of his Crown, his Godhead; but the Apostolical, Nicene, Athanasian Creed, affirm Christ's Deity, to this the Churches of Helvetia, Bohemia, Wittenberg, Transylvania, &c. give their full Consent; and the Scripture is clear for it. He is called the Mighty God, Isa. 9.6. Ell Gibber; and in him dwells the fullness of the Godhead, Col. 2.9. He is not only [Greek or Hebrew], but [Greek or Hebrew], of the same Nature and Essence with the Father. So Athanasius, Basil, Chrysostom, 1. Is God the Father called Almighty, so is Christ, Rev. 1.8. [Greek or Hebrew], the Almighty. 2. Is God the Father the Heart-searcher, so is Christ, Joh. 2.25. He knew their thoughts. 3. Is God the Father Omnipresent, so is Christ, Joh. 3.13. The Son of man which is in heaven. Christ as God was then in Heaven, when as Man he was upon the Earth.
