Prop. XVIII. As Plenipotent Rector he now Ruleth all inferior Rational Creatures by his Laws, as the Universal Lord-Redeemer.
Prop. XIX. Seeing both the Rational Creature, and the visible frame of the Creation are delivered up to Christ the Redeemer, it must needs follow, that the very Law of Nature (whether it be in Natura rerum, ut signum; or in mente humanâ, ut principia Cognita) is Christs Law: And so that those that are ruled by the mere Law of Nature are ruled by Christ, so far as they do well.
