SECT. X.

3. A right of Glory, or Inheritance of God's Kingdom. That is, an Universal right to all God's Estate, to all his Kingdoms and Blessedness, which he himself enjoyes: As the only Son and Heir hath a right to his Father's whole Estate. For if God do justifie thee, and incorporate thee into himself, he doth thereby estate thee in all that he hath. And God hath given thee Christ and his Spirit, as an Earnest and Seal of this Inhe∣ritance: And Christ himself as Executor of God's Will shall admit thee, and put thee in possession at the last day; who is gone before to prepare a place for us, that where he is there we might also be. Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's pleasure to give you a Kingdom. Come ye Blessed Children of my Father, receive the Kingdom prepared for you from the be∣ginning of the World.

4. A right to the Righteousness of Christ; i. e. to have all the benefit of it imputed to them. For as by their Generation they have the burden of Adam's sin, i. e. the guilt and pain of it cast upon them; so by their Regeneration or Justification, they have a right to Christ's Righteousness, and the benefit and reward of it accrues to them; i. e. All his active Righ∣teousness whereby he suffered the Law, and all his passive Righteousness whereby he suffered death, is theirs, done for them and in their stead to as full effect, as if they had fulfilled all the Law in their own persons, and had died for their own sins.
