§. 164. Of the Doctrines arising out of the 13 and 14 Verses.

OF the Doctrines arising out of these word, To which of the Angels said he at any time. See §. 65.

I. God the Father is the Author of Christs exaltation. He said Sit. See §. 149.

II. Christ as Mediatour is inferiour to the Father.

III. Christ as Mediatour is advanced above all creatures. These two Doctrines are gathered out of this phrase, On my right hand. See Doct. 37, 38. on v. 4. §. 38.

IV. Christ hath enemies. The mention of enemies shews as much. See §. 151.

V. Christs enemies shall be subdued, God undertakes as much. I put. See §. 153.

VI. Christs enemies shall be utterly subdued. The Metaphor of making them his footstool proves this. See §. 154.

Verse 14. VII. Emphasis is to be added to weighty matters. This is manifest by the manner of expressing this Point, by an Interrogation, Are they not?

These two are expressed in this phrase, Ministring spirits. See §. 156.

VIII. Angels are Spirits.

IX. Angels are Minister▪s.

X. Angels ministry is especially for Saints. Saints are here intended under this phrase, which shall be Heirs. See §. 158.

XI. Every Angel of what degree soever, is a Minister to Saints. The general par∣ticle All implies as much. See §. 156.

XII. Salvation belongs to Saints. See §. 159.

XIII. Salvation belongs to Saints by right of inheritance. See §. 160.

XIV. The fruition of Saints inheritance is to come. See §. 161.
