As he concludes the treatise, Ussher directs the reader to ponder final glorification:
“The same God that giveth grace is he also that giveth glory (Ps. 84v11); yet so, that the streams of both of them must run to us through the golden pipe of our Saviour’s humanity” [X (61)].

PS: this seems like a great opportunity to give a shout out to the @DavenantInst.
