5. Brethren, Jesus Christ is lifted up and exalted in that the Government of the World is committed unto him;1 The Father Judgeth no Man, but hath committed all Judgment to the Son; the Father Judgeth no Man, but by the Son, all the administration of Judgment, Rule, and Authority in the Church, and in the World, is in the hands of Christ, as Mediator;2 he pulls down and sets up; By me Kings reign, and Princes decree Judgment. All Power and Authority in Heaven and Earth is his;3 it is his essentially as God, and it is given unto him as Mediator.
6. Christ is Lifted up, or exalted,1 in that he is all, and in all, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, &c. but Christ is all, and in all, He is our All to the Father; he is our all with the Father; and our All from the Father, he is our All by way of Merit; he is meritoriously made All to us; he purchased All that good we have, and expect to have, both Grace here, and glory hereafter.
