He is his Prince, his Priest, and Redeemer, his Father, his Lord, his Master, his Friend, his Brother, &c. All these titles are given to Christ, to signify, he is all that, which those things could shadow out. No Father, Brother, friend, could so love their Child, Brother, or friend, as Christ loves the Christian. No Lord, Master, Prince, can so prefer, provide, or care for their Servants, or Subjects, as Christ cares for the Christian. Look what the favour or power of any of those, or all those could do, Christ is, and will become much more unto the godly Christian.2
