4In a word, we justify and declare, and make good that he is our King, and put a Kingly Crown upon his head, when we suffer him to rule us, and to subdue our spirits, and our rebellions; when we cherish no contrary motions to his Spirit; when we rest in this World, and not ⟨p. 87⟩traditions, but stoop to the Sceptre of Christs Word; this is to justify him as a King. Thus we should labour to justify, and declare to the World the excellency and power of Christ in our hearts, that we may make Religion lovely, and make it be entertained in the World, because we show it to be an excellent powerful thing. Let us examine our hearts, whether we thus justify Christ, or no; that by our carriage towards him, we make it good, that he is such an one, as the Scripture sets him forth to be.
