that_o this_o only_a shall_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n then_o shall_v the_o church_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o father_n but_o i_o can_v assent_v to_o this_o exposition_n 1._o because_o the_o apostle_n speak_v express_o of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o kingdom_n 2._o because_o though_o christ_n be_v sometime_o in_o scripture_n read_v for_o the_o church_n or_o for_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n yet_o the_o son_n as_o oppose_v to_o the_o father_n be_v never_o so_o read_v or_o understand_v 3._o because_o we_o read_v that_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a must_v first_o have_v all_o thing_n subject_a to_o himself_o now_o the_o father_n do_v not_o proper_o subject_a or_o subdue_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o unto_o christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o christ_n subjection_n to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o same_o way_n as_o christ_n deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n be_v christ_n also_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o father_n but_o christ_n deliver_v up_o his_o kingdom_n as_o man_n and_z as_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n in_o these_o respect_v christ_n as_o we_o have_v hear_v must_v reign_v
