4 What are the fruites of Christes sitting at the right hand of the Father.

THE fruites of Christes sitting at the Fathers right hand are all the benefites of the kingdome and Priest-hoode of christ glorified. As 1. His intercession for vs. 2. The gathering, go∣uerning, and garding of his church by the Worde and spirit. 3. His defending of the church against her enemies. 4. The abiection and destruction of the churches enemies. 5. The glorification of the church. The fruites or benefites of the kingdome of christ glorified, ••••e, that he ruleth vs by the ministery of the Word, and the

holy Ghost, that hee preserueth his ministery, that hee gi∣ueth his Church resting places, and is forcible by doctrine in conuerting the chosen; that hee will at length raise vp from the dead his chosen and elect, abolish all their infir∣mities, glorifie them, wipe away all teares from them, en∣thronize them in his throne, and make them Priests and Kings vnto his Father. The fruite of the Priesthoode of Christ glorified is, that he appeareth, presenteth himselfe, and ma∣keth request and intercession for vs in heauen, & that for∣cibly, so that the father denieth vs nothing through the vertue and force of his intercession. Hence ariseth that consolation and comfort: Because our Head, our flesh, and our brother sitteth at the right hand of the father; he shall at length glorifie and quicken vs, and that both in respect of his brotherly loue, as also in regard of his office, who is our Head. Because also we haue such a High-Priest, which is set downe at the right hande of the father, there is no cause why wee should doubt at all of our saluation: he shall keepe it safe for vs, and at length most assuredly and cer∣tainly bestow it vpon vs. Ioh 10.28. No man shal pluck my sheep out of my hand. And cap. 17.24. I will that they which thou hast giuen me be with me euen where I am.
