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
