A81727	Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

all the happinesse we Christ by death hath purchased all our happines are spiritually borne to As First Our union with GOD But more of this in the Kingly office Secondly He hath purchased for us the redemption of our bodies from the grave But more of this in the Kingly office Lastly He hath purchased for us life eternall even perfection Of which more particularly in his Kingly office 10. By his death he hath conquered all our enemies Of which likewise in his Kingly office Chap. XV. Sheweth the dignity Christ hath attained through his death and that in foure particulars THAT we may see the excellency of the death of Christ let us consider it under these considerations 1. That by death he hath conquered death and the devill for By death Christ hath conqueted death and the Devill it was impossible that he should be held of death Therefore is it said He should see Corruption The gallant Conquerors of the Kingdomes of the world when they dye they cease to conquer any more but our Jesus in dying slew death and him that had the power of death that is to say the Devill 2. He by death rose from the dead For he the selfe-same that By death he rose from the dead ascended first descended into the lowest part of the earth for he rose from the dead Which resurrection of his hath many glorious effects I shall onely instance in two First It was the manifestation that he was none other but the The virtue of Christs resurrection the true Messiah the Son of God This made the Rulers acknowledge of a truth that he was the Son of God Secondly It was the assurance to the Saints that he had finished his worke and therefore is it said He was raised justification Had he died and not risen from the dead our faith preaching writing and the like all had beene in vaine had he not rose from the dead death had conquerd him Now the true ground of our believing is his death that could not be held of death by his rising he evidently declared himselfe to be the Lords Christ Even the same body that died rose from the dead who said Behold my hands and my feet 3. By death he ascended into heaven For he descended that he Christs ascension into heaven and the virtue thereof might ascend He ascended from the state of infamy shame and contempt farre above all heavens into the state of glory of the highest glory of God The fruits of whose ascension are First The leading Captivity Captive the triumphing over all our enemies Even as a Generall that hath conquered his enemies should carry them openly at his Chariot wheeles so doth our Jesus carry all his and our enemies in open triumph Secondly When he ascended up on high He gave gifts unto men that he might fill all things that is to say that all his might be filled with himselfe with the new Wine of his spirit Time would faile me to enlarge my selfe herein 4. By death he sits at the right hand of God By the right hand Christ sits at the right hand of God and the benefit we enjoy thereby of God we are not to understand as the ignorant sort doe that God hath a right and left hand as we have but by his right hand is meant Gods greatest glory power and dignity Sit thou on my right hand saith the Lord till I make thine enemies thy footstoole The effects of which are First The ruling over the world and all in it of which in his Kingly office Secondly The rest of himselfe having done his worke for he having finished his worke is entred into his rest Thirdly The assurance that we shall enter into ours for as he hath conquered and is set downe so shall we be 5. Lastly By death he makes intercession for us The intercession of Christ is his pleading or continually for us to his Father which pleading we may not by any meanes Christ makes intercession for us what is the virtue thereof dreame is a speaking vocally as we doe one to another but a voice in his bloud For his bloud speaketh better things then the bloud of Abel Now the bloud of Abel we know cryed to heaven for vengeance But that we may briefly see the excellency of Christs intercession let us minde First That his bloud is alwaies present before the Lord speaking for us as Gods remembrancer it is our Advocate that is alwayes pleading our cause Secondly It pleades satisfaction to be given to the Judge of all by which we live in continuall security So that the summe of the dignity Christ in dying arises to is his Propheticall and Kingly office which he executes with much love and fidelity That he hath obtained all this by death I will onely give you this demonstration of it That all this is but the perfection of our Jesus Now he was made perfect through sufferings for the suffering of death he was crowned with glory Heb. 2. Phil. 2. and honour And because he humbled himselfe therefore hath God exalted him and given him a name above every name that at or in his name or power every knce should bow Chap. XVI Sheweth what the Propheticall Office of Christ is and the excellency thereof HAving thus finished through divine assistance the first part of the three-fold office of Christ viz his Priestly office I am now come to speake of his Propheticall office which I shall finish with much brevity There being two things for the explication of this office to be minded 1. The Prophet himselfe 2. The office or worke of this Prophet First Concerning the Prophet It is the Lord Jesus that was anointed to become the Teacher of his people The Prophets under the Law were anointed with oile Our great Prophet the Lord Jesus with the Spirit he was made full of grace and truth and God the Father raised him up as it was foretold by Moses and furnished him with sufficient abilities to discharge his trust For the fulnesse of wisedome was in him therefore is he called the Councellor the same man that was anointed to be a Priest was anointed to be a Prophet who was a Priestly Prophet and a Propheticall Priest Secondly The office of the Prophet is next to be spoken to which is an office given to him of the Father for the revelation or discovering of the great mysteries of the Fathers Kingdome in which office there are five things to be knowne 1. The matter discovered 2. The light discovering 3. The rule of discovery 4. The manner of discovery or teaching 5. The persons taught The matter discovered by this Prophet in generall is this Whatever The matter discovered is may be knowne or enjoyed of God by the Creature and whatever the Creature is and shall be in relation unto God Christ by his sacrifice hath obtained for us all that is to be desired and as a Prophet he comes to tell us
