To himself is given. 1. Something to be received before the End and Delivering up of the Kingdom, and something after. Before he Received, 1. Real, the glorifying of his person. 2. Relative Fruits, Novum jus Dominii, a full Propriety in the Creature as his own which he bought. And that is, 1. Over Mankind whom he Redeemed. 2. And all the Creatures as they may be serviceable to his Ends. By his Propriety in Man he hath Power, 1. To use what means he seeth meet to persuade them to himself. Either 1. External, 1. As the Word, or 2. Works. 2. Or Internal, by his Spirit, and their Conscience. 2. And to succeed the means. By his Propriety in other Creatures, he hath Power to dispose of, 1. Persons, both 1. Angels, and 2. Enemies, as Devils; and 2. Things: As 1. Creatures, 2. Actions, and Thoughts, so as many serve his Ends of Redemption.

2. Beside this Propriety, he hath Novum Jus Imperii, and is become Rector of the Rational Creature, whom he Redeemed. This is partly consequential to his Jus Dominii: For every Man hath Power to Rule his Own according to its Capacity. By this Rectorship Christ hath Power, 1. To Determine both 1. What shall be Due from Man, 2. And What shall be Due to him: Which he doth, 1. By making Laws de novo. 2. And disposing of the Old at his pleasure. And as he hath this power of the Laws: So, 2. Of their Execution. 1. By Sentence. 2. And by the Execution of the Sentence. Thus much of that which Christ himself was to receive for his satisfaction in this time before the End.
