Q. 8. What is Gods Kingdom? and why do you call him our King?
A. I call him our King, because, 1. He only hath absolute Right, Power and Fitness to be our Supreme Ruler: 2. And he doth actually Rule us as our Sovereign. And in this KINGDOM, 1. GOD is the Only Supreme King and Head. 2. Angels or Glorified Spirits and Men are the Subjects: 3. All the Brutes and lifeless Creatures are the Furniture, and goods and utensils. 4. Devils and Rebellious Wicked men, are the Enemies, to be opposed and overcome.
