I answer first. It is not that the Father personally, but that the Deity essentially may be All in All. Why Christ should continue his inferiority when his work is done, ⟨p. 21⟩cannot be imagined. He shall be honoured for his mediation, but with an addition. Might I say, any person in the Trinity receives more honour than other, Christ should have most. Rev. 5.13. Every Creature which is in Heaven heard I, saying, blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Particularly, unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
