will_v say_v from_o the_o description_n which_o we_o have_v in_o scripture_n one_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v first_o make_v know_v to_o the_o church_n when_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o first_o parent_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v bruise_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n gen._n 3.15_o the_o second_o be_v that_o since_o that_o time_n till_o this_o day_n he_o have_v be_v reign_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o enemy_n not_o only_o after_o his_o come_n in_o our_o flesh_n but_o before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o patriarck_n and_o prophet_n and_o ever_o be_v know_v to_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n the_o three_o be_v that_o his_o kingdom_n have_v be_v sometime_o more_o obscure_a and_o under_o a_o cloud_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n howsoever_o even_o then_o his_o hand_n be_v stretch_v out_o in_o deliver_v his_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n in_o lead_v they_o through_o the_o wilderness_n and_o possess_v they_o in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o suffering_n howsoever_o the_o beam_n of_o his_o bringhtnesse_n do_v shine_v through_o the_o dark_a cloud_n at_o other_o time_n the_o lustre_n and_o brightness_n thereof_o have_v be_v more_o apparent_a as_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o exaltation_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n this_o day_n of_o thy_o glorious_a resurrection_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o fulfil_v the_o decree_n and_o declare_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n a_o commentary_n whereof_o we_o have_v phil._n 2.9_o 10_o 11._o wherefore_o god_n also_o have_v high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n which_o be_v above_o every_o name_n that_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o thing_n in_o earch_n and_o thing_n under_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o every_o tongne_n shall_v confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v lord_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o ephes_n 4.8_o when_o he_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a he_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a and_o give_v gift_n unto_o man_n these_o be_v his_o servant_n who_o be_v send_v forth_o to_o preach_v and_o proclaim_v he_o to_o be_v king_n and_o although_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v spare_v in_o determine_v the_o manner_n the_o measure_n the_o time_n and_o endurance_n of_o a_o great_a glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n on_o earth_n to_o come_v yet_o have_v we_o reason_n to_o hope_v for_o great_a thing_n at_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o ancient_a people_n of_o god_n but_o aught_o so_o to_o hope_v for_o it_o that_o for_o the_o present_a we_o may_v behold_v christ_n reign_v in_o his_o spiritual_a kingdom_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o the_o expectation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v future_a be_v not_o a_o prejudice_n to_o that_o which_o be_v present_a and_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o our_o day_n more_o than_o in_o former_a time_n some_o perhaps_o may_v think_v that_o this_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n or_o deep_a mystery_n since_o no_o man_n can_v acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n but_o he_o must_v also_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v king_n and_o lord_n and_o that_o all_o honour_n and_o title_n of_o honour_n be_v due_a unto_o he_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v many_o whatsoever_o for_o their_o credit_n they_o may_v profess_v to_o the_o contrary_a who_o do_v not_o in_o their_o heart_n believe_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n as_o a_o great_a king_n rule_v the_o world_n for_o they_o fight_v against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o abuse_v their_o power_n and_o policy_n no_o less_o then_o if_o they_o can_v rule_v the_o world_n without_o god_n god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n psal_n 10.4_o second_o a_o man_n may_v know_v that_o god_n be_v king_n and_o ruler_n and_o yet_o be_v ignorant_a that_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n be_v king_n nature_n which_o teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o godhead_n lead_v also_o to_o a_o providence_n but_o the_o other_o be_v a_o grand_a mystery_n which_o can_v be_v conceive_v but_o supernatural_o three_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o twofold_a right_n unto_o his_o kingdom_n one_o by_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o other_o by_o donation_n as_o he_o be_v man._n to_o i_o be_v give_v all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n so_o that_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n and_o which_o the_o world_n believe_v not_o have_v prerogative_n and_o power_n above_o all_o creature_n in_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n above_o all_o noble_n prince_n and_o king_n and_o which_o be_v more_o above_o all_o angel_n principality_n and_o power_n have_v thus_o show_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o kingdom_n which_o make_v he_o to_o say_v my_o kingdom_n i_o will_v now_o make_v some_o use_n of_o this_o point_n but_o that_o i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v more_o convenient_a first_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v join_v both_o together_o that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n to_o give_v the_o use_n of_o both_o at_o once_o the_o quality_n then_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n negative_o be_v this_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v not_o a_o earthly_a or_o worldly_a kingdom_n and_o therefore_o by_o consequence_n must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a kingdom_n as_o it_o be_v a_o kingdom_n it_o have_v many_o thing_n common_a with_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v of_o god_n both_o for_o god_n and_o his_o glory_n both_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v a_o perpetual_a difference_n between_o a_o tyrant_n &_o a_o king_n that_o a_o tyrant_n conceive_v the_o people_n to_o be_v for_o he_o and_o his_o end_n but_o a_o king_n know_v that_o he_o be_v set_v over_o the_o people_n for_o their_o good_a both_o have_v their_o law_n and_o rule_v by_o they_o both_o have_v their_o enemy_n which_o oppose_v and_o disturb_v their_o peace_n but_o this_o be_v the_o great_a
