Then he goeth forth unto that which followeth: Unto the I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven / and what soever thou bindest in earth, it shall be bound in heaven ▪ &c. Lo•, saith he, in that he saith what soever thou bindest in earth, he excepteth nothing, therefore I may make laws & bind both king and emperor. When christ / as he had no worldly kingdom, even so he spake of no worldly binding, but of binding of sinners.1 Christ gave his disciples the key of the knowledge of the law of God, to bind all sinners / and the key of the promises to louse all that repent and to let them into ⟨image 36⟩the mercy that is made up for us in christ.
