2. The design of God was, that the whole Creation should be put in subjection to the word Incarnate: Not only this lower world, wherein man is concerned, but the upper World also. Our Redeemer who hath bought us, hath an Interest in all things that may concern us; that they may be disposed of to his own glory, and our good and advantage: All are at the making and at the disposal of our Lord Jesus Christ: Therefore it is said, Heb. 2.10. For whom are all things, and by whom are all things. God that frameth all things, ordereth all things to their proper end. His works are many, and some are more excellent and glorious than others, and one of the chief of them, is the salvation of man by Jesus Christ. Therefore all things are subordinated thereunto, to the Glory of the Mediator, by whom this is accomplished; 1 Cor. 8.6. But to us there is but one God ⟨p. 63⟩the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
