Yea, §4as if all this were not enough; The Father did put the keys of Heaven, and of Hell into his hand: the keys of Heaven and Hell into the hand of Christ. So we read in the 1. of Revel. 18. ver. I am he that liveth, and was dead: and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of Hell and of death. There's no man that goes to Hell, but he is lok't in by Jesus Christ: And there's no man goes to Heaven, but Christ hath the keys of Heaven, and he locks him in there unto all Eternity. The Lord Jesus Christ, he hath the keys of Hell, and of Heaven; he hath the keys of all mens Eternities hanging at his girdle. Oh! ⟨p. 49⟩what an infinite Trust is here, that God the Father hath put upon him! Then let us conclude, if that Trust do argue favour; and the Lord Jesus Christ, our High-Priest, hath such a great trust as this put into his hands by the Father; what infinite Acceptance must he needs have with God the Father.
