Use 1. To persuade us to submit our selves to this Blessed Lord, by our voluntary consent; Psalm. 45.11. He is thy Lord, worship thou him. There is a passive Subjection, and a voluntary Submission. By a passive Subjection all Creatures are under the Power of the Son of God, and our Redeemer; And amongst the rest the Devils themselves, though grievous Revolters and Rebels, are not exempted; Every Knee is forced to bow to Christ. By voluntary submission, those are Christ's Subjects, and admitted into his Kingdom, who willingly give up themselves to the Redeemer, to be saved upon his own terms: 2 Cor. 8.5. They first gave their own ⟨p. 364⟩selves to the Lord. The Devils and wicked Men are his against their wills; bu• all Christ's People are his by their own consent.
