without_o controversy_n concern_v this_o point_n and_o they_o be_v four_o 1_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o right_a to_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 10_o chapter_n the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o and_o in_o psal_n 72.8_o he_o shall_v have_v dominion_n from_o sea_n to_o sea_n etc._n etc._n one_o special_a place_n beside_o that_o i_o conceive_v be_v applicable_a to_o christ_n it_o be_v in_o the_o 21._o of_o ezekiel_n 27._o verse_n i_o will_v overturn_v overturn_v overturn_v it_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o until_o he_o come_v who_o right_a it_o be_v and_o i_o will_v give_v it_o he_o here_o be_v three_o overturning_n answerable_a to_o the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o city_n in_o the_o revelation_n and_o all_o these_o overturning_n be_v to_o bring_v christ_n the_o right_a heir_n to_o his_o possession_n 2_o the_o lord_n have_v power_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o whosoever_o he_o please_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 4_o of_o daniel_n the_o 17._o vers_fw-la that_o the_o most_o high_a be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o he_o give_v it_o
