Yea Lastly, Christ by his Death is made Lord of the whole world; And hath conquered all the Inhabitants that are therein, So that they are Christs as a Lord that bought them by his Death; Thus that place is to be understood, 2 Pet. 1.1. speaking of ungodly men whose damnation would swiftly come upon them, for the damnable heresies they brought in; It's said, They denied the Lord that bought them, [Greek or Hebrew]; Christ bought them in that by his Death, which was an Atonement only for the godly, yet ⟨p. 241⟩he thereby was made Lord over all; So that although it cannot be said he is the Saviour of all in the strict sense of a Saviour; Yet we may say he is the Lord over wicked men, they are his Vassals and Servants, and he can order and dispose of them as he pleaseth for his Churches good.
