§. 30. Of Christs glory after his suffering.

A Fourth difference betwixt Christ and the Levitical Priesthood, is in these words; He sate down on the right hand of the majesty on high.

Hereby is implied a continuance of Christs Priesthood after his death: This is de∣nied of the Priesthood under the Law, Chap. 7. 23. But Christ having by his death offered up a sufficient sacrifice for all our sins, and by his burial sanctified the grave, and that estate wherein the bodies of beleevers after death are detained till the day of consummating all things, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, there to continue an high-Priest for ever.

This then notes out another part of Christs Priesthood. The former was of sub∣jection and suffering; this of dignity and raigning. By that was the work wrought and price laid down: by this is the efficacie and virtue thereof applied, and the be∣nefit conferred.

Fitly is this added to the former, to shew, that Christ was so far from being van∣quished and swallowed up by his sufferings for our sinnes, as thereby way was made for an entrance into the highest degree of glory that could be attained unto.
