down His flesh to take it again,

EFFICACY OF HIS DEATH, paid
the death we owed, 343; the
water and the blood flowing
from His side are signs of the
two sacraments, 434; the spirit-
ual Eve, the Church, formed
from out of the side of the Sec-
ond Adam, 101, 434; the bag
was rent, that the price of our re-
demption might run out, 179;
by death slew death, 84; by dy-
ing has raised us above the fear
of death, 243; bought all the
earth not a part (as Africa), 92;
the redeemed are Christ's disci-
ples, servants, brethren, mem-
bers, yea Christ Himself, 192;
the saints are now redeemed
through the Mediator, and have
received the earnest of the Holy
Ghost, 449; Christ prayed not
for the non-elect, 402; prayed
for all the redeemed, whether
alive or to be born, 408; "ye
are not of My sheep," those pre-
destined to destruction, not
saved by His Blood, 267; each
for whom He suffered, He hath
made His sheep, 447; the re-
deemed delivered from the devil
by faith, through Jesus, 289.
BURIED, DESCENDED INTO HADES,
Christ kept sabbath in the tomb,
116; as Man, His soul was that
day in hades, His flesh was in
the grave: as God, He was also
in paradise, 413.

ASCENDED, "that great fish from

the sea first ascended, 115; the
servant - form which He re-
ceived of the Virgin was lifted
up, and placed at the right hand
of the Father, 413; "He is away
and He is here: but His majesty
He has never withdrawn from

the world," 280; " Me ye will not
have always," was said to Judas,
and in him to all the bad in the
Church, or, in respect of His
bodily presence, however, not
of His majesty and providence,
282 sq.; ascended into heaven,
and also is here, 282; His Body
occupies only one place, His
truth is everywhere, 186; goes
away by being unseen, comes by
becoming visible, abides by rul-
ing,324,391; as Man went away,
as God abided with us, 340; His
going to the Father was this-to
transform and exalt our human-
ity, 342; in bodily presence He
was and will be with the saints:
in spiritual presence He is with
them, 399; no more in the world
by bodily Presence after His as-
cension, 403; the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, 324; He is
the Way, for Himself and for
us, to the Truth and Life which
is Himself, 325; by the flesh
He returned to His own truth
and life, 325; His departure
necessary, that there may be in
His followers room for the
Spirit, 368; and that the just
might live by faith, 370; went
hence to prepare a place for us,
i.e., to prepare us: for we are
prepared by faith in an unseen
Christ, 323; His ascension, our
exaltation, wherein "human na-
ture is worthy of congratulation,
in being so assumed by the Only-
begotten Word as to be consti-
tuted immortal in heaven, and,
earthy, to be so sublimated,
"that, as incorruptible dust, it
might take its seat at the right
hand of the Father," 342; as-
cends to the Father' before
those who touch Him spiritu-
ally, as Coequal with Father,
169, 438; ascended on high, He
sees His followers toiling: and
comes to them, walking on the
waves: and is glorified by the
humble, 162; members of, shall
doubtless follow their Head who
was "passing" before, 299.
HIS INTERCESSION, 137, 130; must
be conceived of in the Unity of
the Godhead: not Father and
Son each occupying a distinct
space in magnitude, and words
passing between, 391; our Ad-
vocate by whom we petition, 51.
