His power is of himself; yea, his power is himself; God doth not rule by Commission or Deputation, all ruling power is fundamentally in him, as also the rule of that power, both which in God are one. Jesus Christ as Mediator rules by Commission; All things (saith he, Math: 11.27.) are delivered to me of my Father. And again, the Baptist gave this testimony of him (John 3.35.) The father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. Jesus Christ as Mediator receives his Charge from the Father, and he hath received a Charge over the whole earth, as Mediator. But consider him as God, so the government of the ⟨p. 580⟩world is fundamentally and essentially in him also. It is the highest honour of an earthly Prince, when (as it is said of the Chaldeans (Hab: 1.7.) their Judgement and their dignity proceedeth of themselves; that is, when they rule in their own right, not in the right or by the designment of any other. How high then is the honour of God, who ruleth not only over all the people, but over all the Princes of the earth, his Judgement and dignity proceeding purely from himself!

Jesus Christ as Mediatour rules by Commission; All things (saith he, Math: 11.27.) are delivered to me of my Father. And againe, the Baptist gave this testimony of him (John 3.35.) The father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. Jesus Christ as Mediator receives his Charge from the Father, and he hath received a Charge over the whole earth, as Mediator.
