II. As Christ is a Priest, so also he is a King:1 He is, I say, invested with Kingly Authority, as he is Mediator; Yet have I set my King upon my Holy Hill of Zion. His Kingdom (as one observes) is not Regnum naturale, which he hath as God, co-essential with the Father, but Regnum Oeconomicum, which he hath by Donation and Unction from his Father, it is given to him as Mediator. Moreover, his Power as King is very great, He is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the only Potentate.
