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.

Prop. XX. As God is the Ruler (as to Title and some Legislation and Judgment;) of those very Pagans who know him not, but deny a Godhead; so Christ is so the Ruler of those very Infidels who know him not, but deny the Mediator.
Prop. XXI. In giving up all Propriety and Rule to Christ, God has not divested himself of any thing, save only a Right or (as it were,) an Obligation to punish the pardoned. For as Christ is God himself; so the Father still Possesseth and Ruleth by the Redeemer. As he hath still the Title of Creator, so is he in the Son God-Redeemer.
