Chap. 1.
A connection of this third Head with the two former. Two things involved in it: 1. Christs Ascension: 2. Christs power and authority in Heaven. 87
Chap. 2.
Showing
1. What EVIDENCE for our Justification,
1. Christs ASCENSION into Heaven affords unto our faith, upon that first fore-mentioned consideration of his being a SURETY for us. 91
And this,
1. By considering what was the last action he did, when he was to ascend, namely, blessing his Disciples. ibid.
For in blessing them, he blessed all Believers. 92
2. From the very act of ascending 93
3. From the first entertainment that God gave Christ when he made his entry into heaven. 97
⟨image 9⟩Chap. 3.
2. What EVIDENCE Christs SITTING AT GODS RIGHT HAND (he having been our Surety,) affords to our faith for Justification. 99
In showing,
1. That CHRIST had completely performed all the work that was to be done by him for our justification. 100
2. That God accepted his satisfaction, and was infinitely well pleased with it. 101
Chap. 4.
Demonstrating
2. What INFLUENCE,
1. Christs ASCENSION hath into a believers noncondemnation upon that second premised consideration, of Christs being a Common Person for us. 102
By considering two things,
1. The great end of his Ascending, and entering into Heaven, that it was to prepare a place for us, and to bring us thither. 103
2. That he entered into Heaven, and took possession of it in our very names and stead. 104
So that, we may by Faith behold our selves as in Heaven already. 105
Chap. 5.
Demonstrating
2. What INFLUENCE Christs SITTING AT GODS RIGHT HAND hath into our justification, ⟨image 9⟩upon that second consideration of his being a Common Person. 106
And this by considering,
1. The prerogatives imported in that his sitting at Gods right hand. As,
1. Sovereignty of power, all things being subdued to him. 107
2. Sovereignty of Judgement, all judgement and authority being committed to him. 109.
2. That these Prerogatives mentioned are his, as he is considered an Head, and so sits representing us, and therefore all his elect shall one day come up to him. 111
In what sense we are said to sit with him: and in what sense it is Christs privilege alone to sit at Gods right hand. 112
