Seeing he is King of kings,1 all princes, kings, & potentates must do him service: for they be all inferior and subject to him. Psal. 2. the three last verses: Be wise now, O ye Kings: be learned ye Judges of the earth. Kiss the son, &c. that is, inwardly reverence, and outwardly obey him. This their subjection must be showed to Christ their King, in the government of their kingdoms, for they must make and frame their laws after the laws of Christ Jesus, they must make laws, exercise judgement, keep Courts, Assizes, begin and end, and continue war, by his commandments. And seeing all Kings are in subjection to ⟨p. 39⟩Christ, as their subjects be to them, they must therefore be guided and directed in all the matters of their kingdoms by the counsel of Christ: so David saith, Thy laws, O Lord, are my counsellors. Psal. 119. 24.
