Againe, he is called the heire of al things: for else how could he make vs the inheritours of the things of this life, much lesse of heauen.

Again, he is called the ruler of all things) for were not he controller of the Angels, of the heavens, of the earth and of all things, that so he might subdue whatsoever should rise against the salvation of his children, they should be discouraged. John 17. He hath the power of all flesh, to master whatsoever should set it self against the salvation of his Church: and these are the causes, why the Apostle laboureth to set down the excellency of our Saviour by all these points.
