The laws of this kingdom, is the word of God, in the books of the old and new Testament. Therefore it is called the kingdom of heaven. Mat. 13. The Gospel of the kingdom. Mar. 1. 13. The rod of his mouth. Isai. 11. 4 The arm of God. Isai. 53. 1. As a King by his laws brings his people in order, & keeps them in subjection: so Christ by his word, and the preaching of it, as it were by a mighty arm, draws the elect ⟨image 35⟩into his kingdom, and fashions them to all holy obedience.
The lawes of this kingdome, is the word of God, in the books of the old and new Testament. Therfore it is called the kingdome of heauen. Mat. 13. The Gospell of the kingdom. Mar. 1. 13. The rod of his mouth. Isai. 11. 4 The arme of God. Isai. 53. 1. As a King by his lawes bringes his people in order, & keeps them in subiectiō: so Christ by his word, and the preaching of it, as it were by a mightie arme, drawes the elect ⟨image 35⟩into his kingdome, and fashions them to all holie obedience.
The power and authority is, that whereby Christ converts effectually those which are to be converted, and glorifies himself in the confusion of the rest.
