2. Porprietatis, which is his right or prerogative to dispose of all things and 1persons, and use them as he pleaseth; and in this respect all the world, and all in the world are his servants, Gen. 14. 22. The Lord, the most High God, Possessor of heaven and earth: And this Dominion or Sovereignty is natural unto him, as he is God, the God of all the world, and Lord of all; neither is it controlled by men or Angels: If God will destroy or abase, or weaken, or afflict, or raise, or bless, the creatures must yield unto his Sovereign Will.

And truly this is an unspeakable comfort to the people of God, that their God 1is Lord of all, and Lord over all; that the Sovereignty is his alone, and the Dominion is only his, that their God is above all gods, and that their God is above all Lords, and that all the creatures in their whole being and working are under him; that if he saith to one Go, he goeth, and if he saith to another Come, he cometh; and if he say to one Do this, he doth it; and if he saith to another Be still, he ceaseth; this is a comfort unto you against all the wicked in the world, and as touching all the serviceableness of all the creatures in the World.
