Answ. 1. I hope we must not also deny Christs Dominion and Sovereignty, and deny our selves to be his Servants and Subjects, (as he is Mediator) only that we may the better deny his Universal Sacrifice and Satisfaction: If we do, it will be a dear bought conclusion. All power in Heaven and Earth is given to him, and the Father hath committed all judgment to him, and for that end he Died, Rose, and Revived, that he might be Lord of the Dead and Living, Matth. 28. 19. John 5. 22. Rom 14. 9.
