The sum of sacred divinity briefly & methodically propoundedThe summe of sacred diuinitie briefly & methodically propounded

The first words of which Psalm in a holy triumph, and rejoicing-wise express the general argument, that Jehovah, which is Christ our Lord, reigneth, and not reigneth only, but hath his Reign accompanied with two Noble Adjuncts; Glory and Power. Then he cometh to distinguish the parts; First, his Government of the World, considered in two degrees: One, the stay and sustentation of all things, the same which the ^fApostle so highly magnifieth to the Hebrews: for whereas Adams sin had turned upside down the whole frame of Nature, and, according to the curse, What day thou eatest of the forbidden fruit, thou shalt certainly dye, had brought man and all the Creatures, for mans sake, to utter ruin and desolation, Christ the Mediator steppeth forth, and there beginneth his Kingdom, in holding up the World, which otherwise had instantly come to nothing. This you have in the latter end of the first Verse: The inhabited World is settled, it shall not be removed.
