This serviceableness, and subordination of all Imperial, Regal, and inferior power whatsoever ⟨p. 68⟩to the Kingdom of CHRIST, King James of famous memory, clearly intimates, and acknowledgeth in his Royal remonstrance, when he speaks thus: To that GOD, that King of Kings I devote my Sceptre, at his feet in all humbleness of spirit, I lay down my Crown, to whose service, as a most humble homager, and vassal, I consecrate all the glory, honour, splendour, and lustre of my earthly Kingdom. And what will become of all the power & policy, that opposeth the people of GOD, we may see in the second of Daniel, ver. 34, 35, 44, 45. Those four strongest Monarchies, and mightiest States, that ever the Sun saw, shadowed by Nebuchadnezzars great Image, setting themselves against the servants of GOD, were beaten upon, and blasted by the curse of divine wrath, and so sunk in their several times, into the jaws of ruin, and irrecoverable desolation. They blustered a while like mighty winds with much threatening, and impetuous rage, but presently breathed out into naught, and vanished for ever. That stone, saith the Text, which was cut out without hands, smote the Image upon his feet, that were of iron, and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, clay, the brass, and silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and become like the chaff of the Summer threshing flower, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. And so let all the implacable enemies of JESUS CHRIST perish to the worlds end. Selah.

This serviceablenesse, and subordination of all Imperiall, Regall, and inferiour power whatsoever ⟨p. 68⟩to the Kingdome of CHRIST, King Iames of famous memory, clearely intimates, and acknowledgeth in his Royall remonstrance, when he speakes thus: To that GOD, that King of Kings I devote my Scepter, at his feeete in all humblenesse of spirit, I lay downe my Crowne, to whose service, as a most humble homager, and vassall, I consecrate all the glory, honour, splendor, and lustre of my earthly Kingdome. And what will become of all the power & pollicy, that opposeth the people of GOD, we may see in the second of Daniel, ver. 34, 35, 44, 45. Those foure strongest Monarchies, and mightiest States, that ever the Sunne saw, shaddowed by Nabuchadnezars great Image, setting themselves against the servants of GOD, were beaten upon, and blasted by the curse of divine wrath, and so sunke in their severall times, into the jawes of ruine, and irrecoverable desolation. They blustered a while like mighty winds with much threatning, and impetuous rage, but presently breathed out into naught, and vanished for ever. That stone, saith the Text, which was cut out without hands, smote the Image upon his feete, that were of yron, and clay, and brake them to peeces. Then was the yron, clay, the brasse, and silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and become like the chaffe of the Summer threshing flower, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. And so let all the implacable enemies of IESUS CHRIST perish to the worlds end. Selah.
