VI. He is Lord also of Political things; All the Governments of the world that are set up and exercised therein for the good of mankind, and the preservation of Society according to Rules of Equity and Righteousness; over all these, and those who in and by them exercise Rule and Authority amongst men, is he Lord and King.
He alone is the absolute Potentate; the Highest on the earth are in a subordination unto him. That 1. He was designed unto, Psal. 89.27. And accordingly he is 2. Made Lord of Lords and King of Kings, Rev. 17.14. Chap. 19.16. 1 Tim. 6.15. And 3. He exerciseth dominion answerable unto his Title, Rev. 6.16. Chap. 17.14. Chap. 18.16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Psal. 2.8, 9. Isa. 60. Mich. 5.7, 8, 9. And 4. Hath hence right to send his Gospel into all Nations in the world, attended with the worship by him prescribed, Matth. 28.18. Psal. 2.9, 10, 11, 12. which none of the Rulers or Governors of the world have any right to refuse or oppose, nor can so do, but upon their utmost peril. And 5. All Kingdoms shall at length be brought into a professed subjection to him and his Gospel, and have all their Rule disposed of unto the interest of his Church and Saints, Dan. 7.27.
