§. 9. Therefore it is much to be noted that all this frame of Grace as tending to Glory, is usually called in Scripture, The Kingdom of God, and The Kingdom of Heaven, Matth. 13. 45, &c. which containeth the whole frame of Political Order and Government.

God who is Physically neither Pars nor Totum maketh himself here as it were a Relative Part, being the supreme Head; and the Mediator the supreme official Head, or general Administrator: who hath under him a course of Political means for the accomplishment of this his work.
