A King is a person ordained by God, 1to govern in a people and bear rule alone according to honest Laws, and to have power to reward the good, and punish the bad, & to defend his subjects against their enemies, having no superior governor above him. The King of Kings, CHRIST, 2is a person immediately ordained of GOD, to gather and rule by his word and spirit his church, purchased by his blood; and to defend her being subject unto him and serving him, against all her enemies both corporal and spiritual, and to reward her with eternal rewards, but to cast her enemies into everlasting pains and torments.
