21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory , that your faith and hope might be in God .

Both as revealing God to you, Matth. 11.27. Iohn 1.14. and making way for you to God, who, out of Christ, is a consuming Fire, so that there is no coming to him, but by Christ, Iohn 14.6. Ephes. 2.18. and [illegible: 1 letter].12. Heb. 7.25.

Viz. in his Resurrection, Ascension, sitting at the Right-Hand of God, &c. Phil. 2.9, 10, 11. Heb. 2.9, 10.

That seeing Christ raised and glorified, ye might be fully confirmed in the Belief of a through-Satisfaction made to divine Justice for Sin, and perfect Reconcili[illegible: 1 letter]tion wrought, (for had not Christ fully paid the Price of Redemption, his Father would never have let him out of the Prison of the Grave, in which his Justice had shut him up) from which Faith ariseth an Hope, which looks to the Resurrection of Christ your Head, as the certain Pledge and Earnest of your Resurrection to Life, and Glory: Christ's Resurrectson and Glory are the great Grounds of Faith, Acts 2.32, 33. and 5.31. and 10.40. Rom. 4.24, 25. and 1 Cor. 15.14, 17. and chap. 3.21.
