Q. What are the principal effects and consequents of this personal union unto the Manhood?
A. Seven:1 1. The grace of Eminence, whereby the Manhood by reason of this personal union is exalted above all creatures, and now sitteth at the right hand of God. 2. Created habitual grace out of measure, the same in kind with which all believers are made partakers of. 3. Created knowledge.2 4. Capableness to receive all power both in heaven and earth. 5. Capableness of the office of a Mediator. 6. The communication of the properties of both natures, to the same one person. 7. The right of Divine adoration, yet we ⟨p. 33⟩are to know that we worship not with divine worship the Manhood, as considered in it self, but as being personally united to the Godhead; that is, we worship the Lord Jesus as God-Man.
