What is the vse of this Doctrine?

1. The exaltation of Christ doth shewe, that the Mediator was not onely a man, but truely and essentially God, that so our trust in him might bee the more stedfast.

2. It lifteth vp our mindes to heauen and causeth vs to be there conuersant in minde and affection, where our head is, euen as now wee are in him out of this world.

3. Wee see what wee also must hope for, that are the members of Christ. Both which vses the Apostle doth vnfolde. Phil. 3.20.21. Our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also wee looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ, who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the mightie working whereby hee is able to subdue all things vnto him∣selfe·

4. Heb. 4.16. Let vs goe boldly vnto the throne of the grace of God, seeing that Heb. 8.1. Wee haue such an high Priest, that sitteth at the right hand of the throne of the maiestie in heauen.
