put in him by God the Father and so we may rest assured he will be faithful unto him For he hath accomplished all things and hath not spared his own life he loved it not to death in reference to his spiritual Kingdom therefore he will be faithful also in the providential Kingdom which is given him not only as part of his Office but as a part also of his reward being set at the right hand of God and thereby being made both † Act. 2.36 Christus fuit Rex Dominus ex quo coepit esse Mediator non demum factus est post resurrectionem sed locus intelligi debet de solenni declaratione quae tum facta est cum Christus consedit ad dextram Patris Maccov Thes Theolog par 3. disp 15. Lord and Christ Secondly Ratione Dominii for he did purchase all the creatures There was not only a debt which he paid but there was a purchase which he made and that was of all the creatures * Constituit Christum haeredem omniū Heb. 1.2 Sumus nos cohaeredes Christi Rom. 8.17 Cujus haeredes sumus Dei cujus Filii Quae Dei haereditas Omnia sunt Dei omnia igitur nostra quae Dei sunt sumus enim haeredes ex asse 1 Cor. 3.21 Haereditas Christi gemina est gloriae dominii in utramque partem nos ut fratres recipit Par. in Rom. 8.17 Christus meruit nobis omnia bona supernaturalia omnia auxilia sive praevenientia sive subsequentia ac universa illa bona et si bona sint nobis extrinseca quae rationem induunt mediorum ad nostram salutem Vincent Asturicens de habit Christi grat praelect q 5. p. 259.

It was Christ that did shake the Earth in the giving of the Law And it is he that is said once more to shake not only Earth but also Heaven 3. Christ hath made his Providential Kingdom subordinate unto his spiritual Kingdom Propter Ecclesiam in mundo durat mundus alioquin uno momento conflagraret coelum terra quia mundus non est dignus uno grano tritici siquidem plenus est blasphemiis impietate Nisi oratione doctrina sustentaret Ecclesia mundum uno momento perirent omnia Luth. in Gen. 30. 34. he doth rule all things in the world onely for the good of his people It is for their sakes the world stands and therefore it is for their good and in subordination thereunto that the world is governed For first All creatures made for mans use were at first put under mans Covenant and therefore when man sinned his curse did reach unto them also Gen. 3.17 If there had not been a second Covenant revealed man had perished and all the creatures for his sake Secondly It is by the Covenant of Christ and under the Government of Christ that they are at this day established Esay 49.8 I will give thee for a Covenant of the people to establish the Earth It must have the same extent with the people to whom he is given as a Covenant but that was not to the Jews only and therefore it cannot be restrained only to the Land of Judea Psal 93.1 97.1 is commonly expounded of the Kingdom of Christ Thirdly The creatures for this cause wait to be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God Rom. 8.21 The Vanity which I conceive the creature is subjected to is a Vanity of service to the lusts of Satan and Sinners and the reason why they are by God subjected thereunto is because the Lord hath a number of Sons to be carryed through the Wilderness of this World and when they are perfectly delivered from corruption then shall the creatures be delivered from the bondage of corruption Quemadmodum mundus propter hominem conditus est propter lapsum illius corruptus ita ad gloriam electorum dissolutus restituetur Gomar in Rom. 8. Fourthly The continuance of the World is only to advance the ends of the Kingdom of Christ It s attributed to the patience of God 2 Pet. 3.9 Rom. 9.22 but all the attributes of God are exercised by Christ in his Government and it is for to bring men to repentance which only belongs to the second Covenant and till the Kingdom of Christ be perfected the World is reserved by the Word of God and then shall the ancient curse be executed All things shall be dissolved the Earth and the works that are therein shall be burnt up And for this cause Ephes 11.22 it is said he is made head over all things unto the Church * In b●num Ecclesiae ●●tinet hoc I●p●r●um G●o● in loc Eph. 1 23. Rev. 21.9 Jer. 12.7 He is the head of the Church and over all things for the Churches sake The Church is his body the Lambs wife the dearly beloved of his soul therefore seeing it is for their sakes that he hath undertaken the Government of all things surely all things shall be so ordered as they shall turn to their spiritual good and advantage in the end Consider how dear the Church is unto God the Father * Joh. 16.27 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 apud Graecos ultroneum significat sc Pater ultro vos diligit etiam nemine rogante Erasm unde Nonnus vertit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that he did commit it as a depositum unto Christ to keep They are therefore stiled Those whom thou hast given me | Jo. 17.11 Act. 20.28 Quam heminibus impossibile est mixtum fermentum separare à pasto tam impossibile est diabolo Christum ab Ecclesia sua separare Luth.
