(4.) If Christ as Redeemer have not right of governing all that hear the Gospel, then there are no Rebels (for Rebellion is only against a rightful Power) nor do they Sin in actual disobeying him when he commands as Redeemer. But the consequents are wicked and intolerable, Ergo, &c. Luke 19. 27. Those mine Enemies that would not I should Reign over them, bring hither and slay them before me. (5.) If Christ have not this right over all the World then all the World is not guilty of Sinning against him; But all the World is guilty of Sinning against the Redeemers Laws, Ergo, &c. They Sin against those mercies which lead to repentance (6.) A multitude of plain Texts prove Christs Universal Dominion and Empire. Mat. 28. 19.
