many_o such_o difference_n may_v be_v observe_v by_o which_o we_o may_v clear_o perceive_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n yet_o one_o thing_n we_o must_v

into_o god_n the_o father_n 1_o cor._n 15.24_o this_o part_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n although_o it_o be_v external_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o spiritual_a for_o it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v do_v by_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v thing_n spiritual_a

kingdom_n in_o both_o part_n of_o the_o administration_n theoreof_o the_o text_n thus_o expound_v be_v a_o fountain_n full_a of_o spring_n of_o doctrine_n as_o first_o that_o although_o christ_n be_v a_o king_n a_o governor_n and_o commander_n as_o have_v be_v former_o show_v and_o be_v a_o prophet_n also_o and_o it_o may_v be_v now_o exercise_v that_o office_n and_o testify_v of_o his_o own_o

although_o a_o private_a man_n who_o run_v unsent_a and_o a_o ambassador_n who_o be_v authorize_v and_o send_v speak_v the_o same_o thing_n yet_o the_o one_o want_n the_o authority_n which_o the_o

must_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n do_v although_o their_o word_n do_v no_o more_o but_o serve_v to_o blindfold_a and_o endure_v blind_a and_o hard_a heart_n yet_o must_v they_o speak_v out_o the_o

any_o calling_n to_o give_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n must_v do_v their_o duty_n commit_v the_o event_n unto_o god_n three_o although_o christ_n at_o this_o time_n be_v bring_v very_o low_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o spare_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o to_o call_v himself_o a_o king_n humiliation_n and_o exinanition_n be_v in_o itself_o no_o derogation_n
