Prop. II. That the man Christ Jesus does […] in Heaven sit upon a most Glorious Throne. Now in Heaven that man does sit upon the very same Throne which the Eternal God Sits upon. Rev 3.21. I (says Christ) am sat down with my Father on his Throne. That man is Co partner with God in the Government of the World: which is the meaning of that expression, of his being sat down at Gods Right Hand. Heb 8 1 He is sat down at the Right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens He joins with God in the Government of all the World And in this respect, Joseph was a singular Figure and Type of the ⟨p. 102⟩Lord Jesus Christ.

Now the Glory of this Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ appears in several things.
