11 Now this kingdom & government, hath Christ already perfectly obtained, as having gotten a name above all names: but in his mystical body, that is, in the church, it is but only in some sort begun, neither shall it be perfected in the said body before that last day, (when as all the enemies of Christs glory, and our salvation being eternally overthrown and cast down) God shall be all in all, that is in his Saints; in whom now he is only but some thing, whether we respect them being a live or dead.
11 Now this kingdome & gouernment, hath Christ alreadie perfectlie obtained, as hauing gotten a name aboue all names: but in his mysticall body, that is, in the church, it is but onely in some sort begun, neither shall it bee perfected in the saide bodie before that last day, (when as all the enemies of Christs glorie, and our saluation beeing aeternally ouerthrowen and cast downe) God shall bee all in all, that is in his Saints; in whom now he is onely but some thing, whether we respect them beeing a liue or dead.
12 That government of Christ therefore, doth now consist in two things; that is, partly in the subduing both of his own children, and also of all their enemies; and partly in bringing his, by little and little to perfection by the power of his Spirit, and the administration of that other part of his eternal Priesthood; that is, in the strengthening of them, by his intercession with the Father, even until that he hath together with all his elect, celebrated an eternal triumph.
