for_o we_o that_o be_v pastor_n to_o teach_v we_o what_o god_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n who_o witness_v a_o good_a confession_n say_v the_o apostle_n a_o better_a confession_n can_v none_o make_v nay_o this_o daunt_v the_o heart_n of_o feeble_a mind_a pastor_n they_o not_o dare_v to_o show_v forth_o their_o faithfulness_n to_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a point_n both_o in_o the_o confession_n of_o christ_n the_o prince_n of_o pastor_n and_o of_o all_o that_o shall_v succeed_v he_o to_o avouch_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v king_n for_o the_o world_n be_v content_a of_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o we_o can_v say_v of_o christ_n they_o will_v allow_v of_o his_o prophetical_a or_o priestly_a office_n christ_n but_o for_o he_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v that_o they_o will_v not_o endure_v they_o will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o be_v king_n this_o it_o be_v no_o offence_n to_o cesar_n that_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o prophet_n or_o a_o priest_n by_o office_n but_o to_o call_v himself_o a_o king_n that_o bring_v he_o to_o his_o death_n cesar_n can_v not_o endure_v it_o so_o now_o a_o day_n king_n and_o prince_n will_v be_v content_a to_o have_v christ_n call_v by_o any_o name_n that_o can_v be_v give_v he_o beside_o this_o but_o you_o must_v not_o say_v he_o be_v a_o king_n the_o king_n of_o his_o church_n every_o magestrate_n now_o will_v be_v king_n himself_o of_o the_o church_n therefore_o the_o papist_n call_v the_o pope_n the_o king_n of_o the_o church_n and_o those_o likewise_o that_o have_v shake_v off_o the_o pope_n authority_n yet_o themselves_o will_v be_v lord_n in_o god_n house_n and_o if_o pastor_n will_v stand_v to_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o king_n in_o the_o church_n but_o christ_n alone_o there_o be_v nothing_o under_o heaven_n which_o will_v more_o endanger_v his_o life_n than_o this_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o confession_n we_o must_v stand_v unto_o under_o the_o pain_n of_o lose_v eternal_a life_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o christ_n lose_v his_o life_n for_o and_o for_o this_o we_o must_v be_v willing_a to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n rather_o than_o to_o suffer_v any_o to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o saint_n but_o christ_n alone_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n call_v this_o a_o good_a confession_n objection_n but_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v i_o why_o this_o be_v call_v a_o good_a confession_n more_o than_o to_o have_v confess_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a high_a priest_n ans_fw-fr and_o prophet_n of_o his_o church_n i_o answer_v that_o both_o these_o acknowledgement_n be_v good_a for_o we_o must_v not_o acknowledge_v any_o more_o high_a priest_n to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n but_o christ_n alone_o and_o he_o be_v the_o only_a prophet_n of_o his_o church_n who_o voice_n must_v only_o be_v hear_v but_o why_o be_v this_o acknowledgement_n of_o he_o to_o be_v king_n call_v to_o be_v a_o good_a confession_n above_o the_o rest_n certain_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o this_o and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o in_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n this_o title_n be_v give_v to_o he_o more_o than_o any_o other_o title_n all_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n be_v but_o tip_n of_o he_o solomon_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n of_o he_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v gather_v together_o they_o shall_v submit_v to_o david_n their_o king_n meaning_n christ_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o in_o the_o kingly_a office_n stand_v the_o crown_n of_o his_o glory_n i_o say_v it_o again_o that_o the_o crown_n of_o his_o glory_n stand_v in_o his_o kingly_a office_n how_o ●o_o because_o god_n have_v not_o give_v to_o any_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n by_o which_o a_o man_n can_v besaved_a but_o by_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n only_o now_o which_o be_v more_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o ephesian_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n speak_v of_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o raise_v he_o up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o set_v he_o at_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n in_o the_o heavenly_a place_n far_o above_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o might_n and_o dominion_n and_o every_o name_n that_o be_v name_v not_o only_o in_o this_o world_n but_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o give_v he_o to_o be_v head_n over_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n so_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o this_o that_o god_n have_v make_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o thing_n so_o that_o this_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n to_o glory_n and_o the_o dignity_n which_o christ_n be_v exalt_v unto_o above_o all_o man_n or_o angel_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a glory_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v speak_v somewhat_o more_o of_o this_o hereafter_o how_o that_o all_o the_o other_o office_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v but_o servile_a christ_n do_v abase_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o his_o church_n and_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o teach_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n neither_o be_v he_o ashamed_a to_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v our_o priest_n to_o offer_v to_o god_n for_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o these_o he_o be_v abase_v and_o suffer_v himself_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o be_v spoil_v of_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o kingdom_n which_o he_o show_v by_o his_o resurrection_n and_o when_o he_o have_v prevail_v against_o his_o enemy_n and_o have_v subdue_v sin_n and_o satan_n than_o he_o stand_v triumph_v in_o heaven_n and_o there_o sit_v at_o the_o right-hand_a of_o god_n and_o herein_o stand_v his_o dignity_n and_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o the_o world_n consider_v it_o not_o those_o which_o be_v the_o former_a office_n to_o be_v prophet_n or_o priest_n in_o his_o church_n stand_v in_o the_o abase_v and_o humiliation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o in_o his_o kingly_a office_n stand_v his_o exaltation_n this_o be_v his_o dignity_n and_o royal_a prerogative_n he_o that_o meddle_v with_o it_o meddle_v with_o the_o chief_a dignity_n of_o christ_n furthermore_o as_o the_o former_a 2._o office_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o servile_a function_n so_o the_o three_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o exaltation_n make_v the_o other_o 2._o both_o effectual_a both_o his_o word_n as_o prophet_n or_o of_o his_o suffering_n as_o a_o priest_n depend_v upon_o his_o royal_a power_n for_o except_o he_o have_v power_n over_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n nor_o present_v we_o into_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n nor_o make_v it_o effectual_a to_o salvation_n for_o satan_n and_o sin_n and_o the_o world_n will_v prevail_v against_o we_o but_o christ_n by_o his_o power_n be_v strong_a than_o all_o so_o as_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v make_v frustrate_a that_o which_o he_o have_v do_v for_o his_o church_n therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a who_o be_v ever_o able_a to_o loose_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n but_o he_o which_o be_v strong_a than_o death_n christ_n therefore_o by_o death_n destroy_v death_n and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n the_o devil_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n christ_n say_v speak_v of_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o exaltation_n to_o wit_n 7._o his_o blessing_n when_o to_o his_o own_o he_o say_v every_o one_o that_o thirst_v shall_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o will_v give_v they_o the_o water_n of_o life_n this_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n because_o christ_n be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v for_o until_o he_o be_v set_v in_o his_o kingdom_n he_o can_v not_o dispense_v his_o spirit_n to_o his_o disciple_n as_o afterward_o he_o do_v therefore_o when_o he_o be_v to_o depart_v from_o his_o disciple_n he_o give_v they_o commandment_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n till_o he_o have_v endue_v they_o with_o virtue_n from_o above_o the_o world_n must_v be_v subdue_v to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o dispense_v that_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n till_o after_o his_o ascension_n then_o do_v he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n down_o upon_o they_o and_o endue_v they_o with_o all_o virtue_n necessary_a to_o speak_v all_o language_n &_o constant_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n notwithstanding_o the_o opposition_n of_o man_n so_o this_o be_v verify_v likewise_o in_o the_o pprophecy_n of_o micha_n concern_v the_o pour_v forth_o of_o

power_n last_o his_o power_n be_v this_o because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n that_o be_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o power_n and_o principalitye_n the_o argument_n be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o principallitye_n and_o power_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o this_o argument_n shall_v hold_v since_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v many_o king_n and_o lord_n beside_o god_n how_o then_o can_v this_o prove_v god_n to_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n there_o be_v other_o king_n and_o lord_n beside_o he_o it_o will_v seem_v by_o this_o property_n here_o ascribe_v unto_o god_n that_o it_o will_v confirm_v the_o false_a fancy_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n who_o hold_v that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o magistrate_n but_o god_n only_o because_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n he_o be_v call_v the_o only_a potentate_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o their_o ground_n whereupon_o they_o build_v their_o opinion_n but_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v manifest_v the_o contrary_a so_o the_o argument_n be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o apostle_n in_o great_a wisdom_n for_o this_o argument_n do_v not_o take_v away_o all_o magistrate_n in_o the_o world_n but_o only_o make_v god_n to_o be_v over_o they_o all_o to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o king_n nor_o lord_n but_o god_n alone_o how_o can_v he_o then_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n so_o that_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n do_v confute_v this_o vanity_n and_o let_v we_o see_v that_o the_o authority_n which_o he_o claim_v to_o god_n do_v not_o take_v away_o man_n authority_n over_o their_o subject_n but_o let_v that_o remain_v still_o notwithstanding_o that_o god_n be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n but_o to_o understand_v aright_o what_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n in_o his_o argument_n it_o be_v of_o great_a force_n for_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v king_n of_o king_n in_o divers_a respect_n first_o because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o king_n or_o lord_n but_o by_o he_o it_o be_v and_o by_o he_o king_n reign_v it_o be_v he_o only_o that_o raise_v to_o authority_n and_o none_o but_o he_o so_o for_o this_o reason_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n because_o they_o have_v not_o their_o authority_n but_o from_o god_n and_o this_o be_v that_o for_o which_o nabuchadnezar_n that_o great_a king_n of_o babel_n do_v suffer_v such_o a_o great_a judgement_n from_o god_n as_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o from_o among_o man_n and_o to_o live_v among_o beast_n for_o the_o space_n of_o seven_o year_n that_o he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o most_o high_a have_v rule_v over_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n as_o daniel_n tell_v he_o in_o plain_a term_n because_o he_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o his_o heart_n do_v think_v he_o have_v raise_v himself_o to_o his_o honour_n when_o these_o word_n come_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n which_o i_o have_v build_v for_o my_o honour_n and_o honour_n of_o my_o kingdom_n immediate_o his_o kingdom_n be_v take_v from_o he_o until_o he_o be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o most_o high_a have_v rule_v over_o man_n this_o be_v a_o fearful_a spectacle_n to_o teach_v king_n to_o know_v from_o who_o they_o have_v their_o kingdom_n and_o their_o authority_n pilate_n when_o he_o do_v boast_v of_o his_o authority_n to_o christ_n say_v unto_o he_o know_v thou_o not_o i_o can_v save_v thou_o or_o take_v thy_o life_n from_o thou_o christ_n answer_v he_o thou_o can_v not_o have_v any_o power_n over_o i_o except_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o from_o above_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n because_o it_o be_v not_o by_o succession_n nor_o by_o birth_n that_o king_n come_v to_o rule_v over_o other_o but_o by_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v reverence_v they_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n because_o say_v the_o apostle_n all_o authority_n be_v of_o god_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o king_n be_v this_o because_o he_o never_o make_v king_n yet_o of_o absolute_a power_n he_o never_o yet_o make_v a_o absolute_a king_n on_o earth_n but_o always_o make_v they_o substitute_n to_o himself_o in_o authority_n reserve_v to_o himself_o the_o supreme_a authority_n over_o they_o to_o thrust_v they_o out_o of_o their_o throne_n whensoever_o it_o please_v he_o all_o the_o king_n of_o the_o world_n be_v but_o subject_n to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o even_o in_o their_o rule_n and_o exercise_v of_o their_o power_n they_o be_v to_o know_v there_o be_v another_o power_n above_o they_o unto_o which_o they_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o their_o do_n for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o let_v the_o power_n he_o have_v over_o they_o to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o hand_n so_o that_o no_o king_n nor_o lord_n have_v any_o power_n to_o do_v as_o they_o list_v god_n it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v that_o any_o king_n have_v absolute_a power_n for_o that_o be_v asmuch_o as_o to_o set_v he_o in_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v no_o absolute_a king_n but_o god_n alone_o and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n describe_v the_o power_n of_o god_n after_o this_o manner_n to_o prove_v he_o the_o only_a potentate_n if_o he_o that_o be_v a_o king_n have_v another_o power_n above_o he_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n they_o must_v this_o lord_n be_v the_o only_a potentate_n but_o every_o king_n have_v the_o lord_n above_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v hold_v it_o no_o long_o than_o it_o please_v he_o neither_o can_v his_o race_n enjoy_v it_o long_o than_o god_n will_v suffer_v it_o therefore_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o the_o kingdom_n from_o some_o and_o give_v it_o to_o other_o he_o take_v away_o authority_n from_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o give_v it_o to_o jeroboam_fw-la and_o for_o the_o iniquity_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la he_o take_v it_o from_o ahab_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o jehu_n many_o change_n of_o kingdom_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v take_v king_n out_o of_o their_o throne_n and_o place_v their_o enemy_n in_o their_o place_n to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o king_n be_v not_o absolute_a lord_n on_o earth_n but_o they_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n dispose_v at_o his_o pleasure_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o three_o reason_n prove_v wherefore_o the_o apostle_n describe_v the_o power_n of_o god_n after_o this_o manner_n that_o by_o necessary_a evidence_n he_o conclude_v the_o main_a point_n since_o there_o be_v not_o a_o power_n or_o potentate_n but_o god_n be_v the_o only_a potentate_n to_o do_v with_o man_n as_o himself_o please_v it_o be_v he_o that_o cast_v down_o and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o raise_v up_o and_o thus_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o know_v but_o special_o his_o minister_n to_o know_v this_o there_o be_v a_o four_o reason_n of_o this_o manner_n of_o describe_v god_n and_o that_o be_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o child_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v before_o to_o arm_v they_o against_o all_o the_o terror_n of_o king_n that_o the_o terror_n of_o no_o power_n make_v they_o to_o dispense_v with_o the_o ordinance_n of_o this_o great_a potentate_n therefore_o he_o will_v imprint_v this_o in_o their_o mind_n that_o god_n be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n therefore_o no_o king_n can_v do_v more_o harm_n to_o they_o than_o it_o please_v god_n this_o be_v comfort_n and_o the_o same_o which_o christ_n give_v his_o desciple_n in_o the_o ten_o of_o matthew_n where_o he_o bid_v they_o not_o to_o fear_v they_o that_o can_v only_o kill_v the_o body_n for_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o life_n be_v more_o precious_a than_o bird_n and_o be_v there_o not_o so_o many_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n therefore_o christ_n know_v that_o power_n be_v give_v over_o he_o though_o he_o can_v have_v pray_v to_o his_o father_n and_o obtain_v legion_n of_o angel_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o because_o he_o know_v there_o be_v no_o resistance_n of_o god_n will_n therefore_o he_o comfort_v himself_o against_o the_o lose_n of_o pilate_n that_o he_o have_v no_o power_n but_o be_v give_v he_o
