Thus he is often called in the Scripture; yea Revel. 19. 16. he is said to have on his thigh this name, King of kings, and Lord of lords. So 1 Tim. 6. 15. The blessed and only Potentate; the King of kings, and Lord of lords. It's observed, that these titles were given to the Persian Monarchs, because of their transcendent dominion; but here it is applied to Christ transcendently, even to them also, for he is said to be the only Potentate, as if none were Lord but him. Hence it is noted of Augustus, as a providential thing, That the year Christ was born in, he refused to be called Dominus; and so some Christian great men, would not be called Domini, but Domini diminitively, out of reverence to Christ; but the word [Greek or Hebrew], and so Lord may be attributed to men, as well as King, and head, so that still it be acknowledged, he is Lord of lords, and that none is Lord like him.
