5. The Original and Rise of this Inheritance of Christ will give us its true extent, which must therefore more especially be considered.
Upon the Creation of man God gave unto him a Dominion over all things in this lower world, Gen. 1.28, 29. He made him his Heir, Vice-gerent and Substitute in the earth. And as for those other Creatures to which his Power and Authority did not immediately extend, as the Sun, Moon and Stars, the whole inanimate Host of the Superior World, they were ordered by him that made them, to serve for his good and behoof, Gen. 1.14. Deut. 4.19. So that even they also in a sort belonged unto his inheritance, being made to serve him in his subjection unto God.
