Q. 6. Who are the Subjects of this Kingdom?
A. There are three sorts of Subjects: 1. Subjects only as to Obligation:† And so those without the Church are Rebellious obliged Subjects: 2. Subjects by mere Profession: And so all Baptized professing Christians though Hypocrites, are the Church-visible, and his professed Subjects. 3. Subjects by sincere Heart-consent: And so all such are his Subjects as make up the Church-mystical, and shall be saved. So that the Kingdom of God is a word which is sometime of a larger signification than the Church: and sometime ⟨p. 195⟩in a narrower sense is the same. Eph. 1. 23. Christ is Head over all things to the Church.
