When did he receive the foresaid power of Lordship A. He most fully received it in the nature of man Ps 68.18 with Acts 2 33 36. Eph. 4.8 9. when he entered upon the most full and glorious execution of his foresaid Offices in and from heaven namely in his exaltation or Ascention Q. 97. How doth he more fully exercise his Priestly Office in Heaven A. He in his Ascension thither offered and presented himself as the prepared Sacrifice to his Father Heb. 8.1 4 9.14 Ps 110.1.4 Lev. 8.9 with Heb. 7.27 and 9.12.14 7.25 and was thereby consecrated the great High Priest and as the great High Priest appears within the vail even in the presence of God and makes Intercession for us Q. 98.

Heb. 2.17 10.14 rendring God good to all and ready to accept all or any in coming to him hereby but the actuall and perfect reconciliation he is to them only that so come Q. 100.
