A. By Kingdom is meant, that it belongeth only to God to Rule all the Creatures, dispose of all things; and by Power is meant, that by his Infinite Perfection and Sufficiency he can do it: And therefore can give us all that we want, and deliver us from all that we fear. And by Glory is meant, that all things shall be ordered so as the Glory of all his own Perfections, shall finally and everlastingly shine forth in all: And his Glory be the End of all for ever.
