13. But in truth after that the Lord, coming in our flesh, joined together the Godhead and flesh without any confusion or mixture, then the practice of the life of heaven spreading throughout the whole world was implanted in human bodies. This is that which angels ministering on earth signified should come to pass, S. Matt. iv. 11. which ministry should be offered to the Lord with the service of an unstained body. This is that heavenly service which the host of rejoicing angels spoke of for the earth. S. Luke ii. 13, 14. We have, then, the authority of antiquity from of old, the fulness of the setting forth from Christ Himself.
