Christ was the head to the Fathers under the Law, how now is he appointed their head?1 Christ indeed was a head to the fore-fathers, but now in the times of the Gospel, especially at these times that are spoken of here, at the calling of the Jews, and that glorious time that shall be then, Christ will appear to be a Head in another manner, to govern in another way, far more gloriously then now he doth, and far more influence of grace & light will come from him unto his members then now. Though Christ hath always been a head to his Church, yet there is a time coming when the seventh Trumpet shall be sounded (spoken of Revel. 11. 15.) when that voice shall be heard that yet was never heard, The Kingdoms of the earth are the Lords, and his Christs, and he shall reign for evermore.

There is a time therefore for the Throne of Christ to be here further then it hath been,3 which Christ hath promised to those that do overcome. A time coming when there shall be heard the noise, not only of many waters, but as a mighty thunder, saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. He shall be a head another way.
