------------------------------------~--------------- to Chrift : now Chriil: w1s not Dat~ids Lord meerely as man, but as God. Ard, 2. He fits at Gods right hand as mar oo; hereby his humanity was eulted, and a P<?Wer is gwen to Chrift as man, he hath given him porver to e;cecute judgemrn:, i~ M ~uch )vh, ~. 17, t!A he is the Sen tj'man. In the admm1firauon of lus Kmgctome the 1'1""1-}ood of Chri{t doth concurre, as an inftmment working with his Godhead. Hence this fefllon at Gods nght hand is trnely and properly attributed to Chrift, as .:l~a.v-3-~o•a~ ; and not on;y to the one nature ofChrift, whether divine or bumane. Or it is attributed to Chrift a$ Mediatour; in which refpect he is called an high-Prieft, we have fuch an highPrieft, who is Jet on the-rig lit hand ofthe thro11e ofthe M~tjeftie in thehravens.--And ih which Hcb. 8,to rcfpect he is called a Prince, ~·m bath God exat;e~ with his right Act. r. r. hand to be a Prince ana a Sav1our. Now Chr1ft ts not a Prtell 3 and~ Prince meercly according to one nature, whether divin~ or humane. I deny not but Cllrift had anatural Kingdome with his Father as God, before the foundation of the world; but this Xingdome as God·man Chrift had not before his afcenfion into heaven. So then Chrift fitteth at the right hand of God by a mediatory action, which he executeth according to both natures, the Word working what peru.ineth to the Word, and t,he flefb what appertaineth to the flefh ;. Cbrift is Mediatour as God and man, and glory hath redounded unto him as God and man, and living in this glory he ruleth and governeth his Church as God and man; heafccnded indeed into heaven in hishumanity~nly, but he fitteth at the rig!lt hand ofGod as Mediatour in re[pect of both natures. Thl! Lutherans attribute this fdfion at Gods right hand only to the humane nature of Chrift; they fliy this . fcffion is nothing elfe but the elevating of hill humane nature to the full and free ufe of fome of thedivine properties, ai ofomni· potency, omnifcience, omnip~efence ; the ground of this errour is, that tl1ey fuppofe upon the union of the two natures in Chrift, a real communication of the dl'vine propertyes to follow; fo that the human~ nature is made truely omnipotent, omnifcient, omniprefent, not by any confufion of prooertyes, nor yet by any bare communion and concourfeofit to tht- fame effect, each nature worki11g that which belongeth to tt \.Jth ~rommunion ofthe other, (for this we grant) but by a real donatk>n, by which the divine propertyes fo become the propertyes of the humane na0 oo o o z ... cure,
