the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n for_o beside_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v manifest_o abollish_v it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o

mere_a folly_n to_o enclose_v his_o power_n within_o the_o bound_n of_o his_o essential_a presence_n 11_o now_o this_o kingdom_n &_o government_n have_v christ_n already_o perfect_o obtain_v as_o have_v get_v a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n but_o in_o his_o mystical_a body_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n it_o be_v but_o only_o in_o some_o sort_n begin_v neither_o shall_v it_o be_v perfect_v in_o the_o say_a body_n before_o that_o last_o day_n when_o as_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n glory_n and_o our_o salvation_n be_v eternal_o overthrow_v and_o cast_v down_o god_n shall_v be_v

christ_n therefore_o do_v now_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n that_o be_v partly_o in_o the_o subdue_a both_o of_o his_o own_o child_n and_o also_o of_o all_o their_o enemy_n and_o partly_o in_o bring_v he_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o perfection_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o that_o other_o part_n of_o his_o eternal_a priesthood_n that_o be_v in_o the_o strengthen_n of_o they_o by_o his_o intercession_n with_o the_o father_n even_o until_o that_o he_o have_v together_o with_o all_o his_o elect_a celebrate_v a_o eternal_a triumph_n 13_o this_o intercession_n of_o he_o consist_v especial_o in_o that_o efficacy_n of_o that_o oblation_n of_o he_o make_v once_o to_o his_o father_n the_o force_n whereof_o be_v this_o that_o the_o father_n look_v upon_o all_o his_o elect_a in_o his_o son_n by_o who_o blood_n he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o they_o do_v embrace_v they_o evermore_o with_o a_o fatherlie_a affection_n partly_o in_o that_o as_o all_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v as_o yet_o pilgrim_n here_o upon_o earth_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n so_o he_o present_v himself_o unto_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n as_o the_o only_a mediator_n do_v sanctify_v those_o prayer_n and_o make_v they_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n the_o father_n 14_o unto_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v adjoin_v that_o stay_n and_o defence_n which_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n in_o that_o he_o have_v all_o creature_n in_o his_o hand_n do_v by_o what_o instrument_n and_o mean_n he_o think_v good_a most_o powerful_o preserve_v his_o church_n travel_v as_o yet_o here_o upon_o earth_n against_o all_o the_o furious_a insurrection_n of_o all_o whosoever_o 15_o touch_v this_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n the_o

the_o deity_n yet_o both_o in_o regard_n that_o this_o humanity_n be_v to_o be_v throw_v down_o unto_o the_o very_a low_a degree_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o

follow_v that_o this_o error_n also_o of_o the_o ubiquitaries_n be_v intolerable_a namely_o in_o that_o they_o hold_v that_o this_o real_a sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n begin_v
