the Excellency of Chrift.
del
ruction
I
might have glorified my
felf
for
ever
though
it
is
true
,
I
could
as
well
have honoured my
fel
f
in
their
ruine and
deflruaion
,
as
I did
in the eternal dettru&ion
of
the
Angels
that
finned againtt mee ,
yet
I
will
Phew
forth
a
wonderful work
, that
men
and
Angels
fhall
wonder
at
to
all eternity ,
that
fuch
and
fuch things
thall
bee
done
nod
fuffered
to
fave
them,
fo
unworthy,
fo
vile
;
thus
Chrifl
is
wonderful in
his
humiliation
:
And
thefe things
have
been
but
briefly
prefented
to
you
,
that
fo
I
might
give
you
a
general view
of the
myftery
of
godlinefs
that there
is
in
the humiliation
of
Jefus
Chrift.
C
wonderful in
his
Conquefl.
But
now
it
follows further
, that
Chrifl
likewife
is
won-
derful
in
his
Conquetl
, bee
is
the
molt
glorious
and
won-
derful Conquerour
that ever
was
in the world.
For firft.;
What
did
bee conquer
?
What
doth
hee
tri-
umph over
?
What?
hee hath conquered even
Divine
Jul/ice
it felf,
as
I
may
fo
fpeak;
the Law, Gods
wrath and
fuflice came
even
fighting
as
it
were
againft
Jefus Chrift,
and
Chrifl
encounters with
them
,
yea hee encounters
with
the Devil,
and with
Hell,
and with
Death
;
all
thefe
are
enemies
that
Jefus
Chrift encounters
withal!.
And
cer-
tainly had
any one
but
feen
Chrifl
go
into
the
Lifts
to
en-
counter with thefe Combatants
,
hee could
not
but
have
flood amazed
at
it
, Oh what will
become
of this
Cham-
pion that
is
entred into
fuch
a
combate
as
this
is
!
But

but
a
little,
and
you
shall fee
him leading Captivity
captive,
