Ask of me, and I will 1give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost 2parts of the earth for thy possession. He shall have dominion from Sea to Sea, and from the River unto the ends of the Land. All Kings shall worship him, all Nations shall do him service. His seed shall be for ever, and his throne as the Sun before me. As the Moon it shall be established for ever: And as a faithful witness 3in heaven. His seed will I establish for ever; that is, Christians borne of God, which are called Christs seed and children, as Christ is called the everlasting Father. Thou hast ascended up on high, 4thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast taken gifts for men, that is, thou hast given and distributed gifts among men, which are the Ministers of the Gospel, given for the good of the Church.5
