And then secondly, Grace is the upholder of his Throne: so ver. 4. of the aforesaid Psal. 45. In thy majesty—prosper thou; as well because of meekness, as of righteousness, and also because of Truth; that is, the word of truth, the Gospel of our salvation, (as Paul exegetically expoundeth it, Ephes. 1. 13.) These are the pillars and supporters of his throne and majesty: And there are two of them, you see, that are of grace, (meekness, and the Gospel of our salvation) unto one of justice, or righteousness; and yet that one is for us too. And ⟨p. 95⟩these establish Christs Throne: So it follows, verse 6. Thy Throne, O God, is for ever and ever: And you know who applies this unto Christ, Heb. 1. 8. Fear not then, when as meekness supports his majesty, and grace his throne; and when as he holds his place by showing these. And thus much from that office that is laid upon Christ as he is a Priest.
