Luke. 1.33. Mat. 28.18. Iohn. 10.28.
And he exerciseth that two wayes: one way, if we consider the Church by it selfe; another way, if we cōsider the enemies of the Church.
If we consider the Church by it selfe, he exerciseth his kingdome two wayes.
- 1. Because by his holy spirit he powreth hea∣uenly giftes vpon vs, which are his members. Ephes. 4.10.11.12.
- 2. Because he gouerneth vs by his word and spirite.
If we consider the enemies of the Church of Christ, he exerciseth his kingly office also two wayes.
- 1. That he by his power doth defend, pre∣serue, and mightily deliuer both vs and that saluation which he hath purchased for vs, a∣gainst our enemies. Psal. 2.9 and 110.1.2. Iohn. 10.28.29.30. Ephes. 4.8.
- 2. Because he doth beat downe their enemies, vntill at the length he may fully & perfectly deliuer vs from them.
The vanquishing of the enemies is two wayes.
- 1. Because he doth depriue our enemies of all power, although they be neuer so strong and proud, as the deuill, and all the wicked.
- 2. Because he doth vtterly abolish other, as death. 1. Cor. 15.26.
