Secondly, Christ must be taken up into Heaven in his body to make a compensation and a recompense to himself, for his sufferings in his Body, to make a compensation to him for his bodily sufferings, he must go to Heaven, Phil. 2.8.9. And being found in fashion as a Man, he humbled himself, and because obedient unto Death, even the Death of the Cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every Name. Therefore God did exalt Christ and raise him from the dead and bring him to Heaven, because he obeyed the death of the Cross, and took on him the form of a servant, Psal. 110. last Vers. He shall drink of the brook in thy way, therefore shall he lift up the Head. Because thou dyedst and sufferedst, therefore thou shalt lift up thy head, therefore thou shalt ascend up to Heaven, Heb. 2.9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower then the Angels, for the suffering of Death, crowned with glory and honour, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For suffering of Death, he was crowned with Glory and Honour to translate him bodily into heaven, that is a second Argument.
