Sixthly, That the Lord may be one: viz. Even the Lord Jesus the Christ, whom God raised from the dead, and •et him at his own right hand in the heavenly places; Far above all principality, and power, and might, and ⟨image 9⟩dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the Church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all, Ephes. 1. 20, 21 22, 23.
