§. I.
The first sort of Intrinsical Demonstrations drawn from the Influence which all the three Persons have into the Heart of the Humane nature of Christ in Heaven. 48 1. From God the Father. Which Demonstration is made forth by two things: 1. God hath given Christ a perpetual command to love his Elect on earth, and hath written a Law of love in his heart. 49 2. This Law of love remains for ever in his heart, which is proved by two things: 1. That it is a Law, and that of Love. 52 2. That by observing that Law it is that Christ continues in his Fathers love. 53 2. From God the Son, unto whom the Humane nature is united. This disposition of grace is natural to him, as he is Gods natural Sonne. 54 Accordingly the Humane nature framed on purpose with dispositions of mercy and meekness above all other. 55 3. From God the Holy Ghost, who on earth filled him with meekness and grace above all other dispositions, and now resteth upon him in Heaven, more abundantly then ever. 60
