of God and thought it not Robbery to be equal with God he could not be said to be Exalted but taking our Nature upo● him he was abased he Humbled himself He took on him the ●orm of a Servant and became Obedient unto Death As considered as Mediator he is Exalted and hath a Name above every Name in Heaven or Earth First In respect of his Person Behold my Servant shall deal prudently he shall be Exalted and Extolled and be made very high here are three words signifying the same thing to express and hold forth the Glory and Exaltation of Jesus Christ. 1. He hath the Glory of God the Glory of the whole God-head in him The fullness of the God-head dwells bodily in this blessed Person the Man Christ Jesus and it pleased the Father it should be thus He is the brightness of his Father's Glory and the express Image of his Person 2. In that all the Glory of his Father's House is hung upon him placed in him he is the true Eliakim the glory of the house of David and of God's Israel Nay all the Glory of the holy Attributes sl●ine forth in him and are united and meet together in sweet Harmony in him He is the Man of God's right Hand whom he hath made strong for himself To manifest his own Glory and to raise up his Elect to a most excellent State for ever 3. In that the same divine Worship and Adoration which is due to the Father is due to the Man Christ Jesus this my Brethren tends greatly to lift up elivate and exalt him to the Heavens That all Men should honour the Son even as they honour the Father all Men must thus honour and Worship him Brethren this is one of our strongest Arguments to prove that our Lord Jesus Christ is God the true God God by Nature i. e. because Divine Adoration is due to him even the same worship that is due to the Father were he a meer Man not the most high God it would be great Idolatry to worship him I am the Lord that is my Name and my glory will I not give unto another c. the Apostle John would have worshiped the Angel thinking no doubt it had been Christ I fell at his Feet to worship him and he said see thou do it not I am thy Fellow-servant and of thy Brethren that have the Testimony of Jesus worship God Here Note two things 1. That no meer Creature tho' never so glorious ought to be worshiped with divine Worship I am but a Creature equal in Office with thee tho' not in Nature as if the Angel should say therefore see thou do it not 2. That divine Worship alone belongs to God Worship God 't is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve But all Men are to worship Christ and not only Men but the holy Angels also and again when he bringeth in his first begotten into the World he saith and let all the Angels of God worship him All the Angels the mighty Angels that excell in Glory Power and Strength bow down before him and worship at his Feet So far is he exalted above them he is beloved the head of all Principalities and Powers he is their great and glorious Prince and Sovereign they are all at his Command are his Servants and Retinue they all wait upon him and willingly serve and obey him 4. Christ is lifted up or exalted in that he is the immediate Object of our Faith and Trust True the Father is Primarily the object of our Faith but Brethren Christ is the immediate Object thereof Ye believe in God believe also in Me And this because he is equal with the Father and as Mediator we must by him believe in God the Father and come to the Father by him No Man cometh to the Father but by me But again 5. Brethren Jesus Christ is lifted up and exalted in that the Government of the World is committed unto him The Father Judgeth no Man but hath committed all Judgment to the Son the Father Judgeth no Man but by the Son all the administration of Judgment Rule and Authority in the Church and in the World is in the hands of Christ as Mediator he pulls down and sets up By me Kings reign and Princes decree Judgment All Power and Authority in Heaven and Earth is his it is his essentially as God and it is given unto him as Mediator 6. Christ is Lifted up or exalted in that he is all and in all where there is neither Greek nor Jew c. but Christ is all and in all He is our All to the Father he is our all with the Father and our All from the Father he is our All by way of Merit he is meritoriously made All to us he purchased All that good we have and expect to have both Grace here and glory hereafter Jesus Christ is All to us by way of Conveyance as he meritted all for us so it is through him all good things or divine Blessings are communicated to us As he is the Fountain that contains all things so he is the Conduit-Pipe thro' whom all good is conveyed to us also Again he is All to us by way of Efficency and Causality he works all our Works in us and for us and without him we can do Nothing It is from him the Head that the whole Body receiveth Nourishment so he it is that blesseth that Nourishment that Food viz. himself his Word his Ordinances and all afflictions to us which we live upon Secondly Christ is wonderfully lifted up or is exalted to Heaven if we consider the Persons who are said to Greaten and Magnifie Him 1. The Father magnifies him and hath exalted him at his Right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour This Exaltation of Christ denotes his Abasement because he condescended so low to humble himself and to dye the Cursed death of the Cross therefore he is exalted See what Paul saith Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a Name above every Name that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow c. Not at the naming of Jesus but at his Name that is in respect of his Power Authority and Glory which he hath above all in Heaven and Earth considered as he consi●teth in both Natures or as Mediator God-man 2. All the Saints of God and Faithful Mini● of the Gospel exalt Jesus Christ True they cannot add any thing to his Glory but they give or ascribe the highest Glory unto him as his due The Apostle lifted him up above Moses above Ang●ls nay as equal with the Father Paul desired to know nothing but Jesus Christ and him Crucified and resolved he should be magnified in his Body whether it were by Life or by Death 1. In that they all did all things they
