Now that which the Spirit of God helps us to believe, that which we see by Faith; holy Angels and glorified Saints which were then in heaven, saw really done and acted before their eyes, after a blessed & heavenly manner. They saw that very Jesus who was once a Babe lying in a Manger on the earth, that Jesus who was once, bleeding and dying on the Cross, that Jesus they saw crowned with glory and honour in the highest Heaven: and they heard the word come out of the mouth of the most high God, requiring all the host of heaven to worship that very Jesus. Heb. 1. 6.—let all the angels of God worship him. ⟨p. 202⟩Christ the King of glory was no sooner got within the everlasting gates of heaven, but God set him at his own Right hand, saying, Here's my Son, all ye glorified Saints and Angels adore him. Here's my Son (•a••s the eternal God) come to heaven, behold all you Angels of mine, I […] him above you all, and see that you worship him.
