Come and welcome to Jesus Christ. Or, A plain and profitable discourse on John…

And therefore this Man is counted worthy of more Glory than Moses, even upon this account, because more faithful than he, as well as because of the Dignity of his Person. Therefore in him and in his Truth and Faithfulness, God rested well pleased, and hath put all the Government of his People upon his shoulders. Knowing that nothing shall be wanting in him, that may any way perfect this Design. And of this He, to wit, the Son hath already given a proof; for when the time was come, that his Blood was, by Divine Justice required for their Redemption, Washing and Cleansing, He as freely poured out of his Heart, as if it had been Water out of a Vessel; not sticking to part with his own Life, that the Life which was laid up for his People in Heaven, might not fail to be bestowed upon them And upon this Account (as well as upon any other) it is that God calleth him his Righteous Servant, Isa. 53. for his Righteousness could never have been complete, if he had not been to the uttermost faithful to the Work he undertook: It is also, because he is faithful and true, that in Righteousness he doth judge, and make Work for his People's Deliverance He will faithfully perform this trust reposed in him: The Father knows this, and hath therefore given his Elect, unto him.
