A Body of Practical Divinity

Jesus Christ is of mighty Renown, he is a King; he hath a Kingly Title, High and mighty, Isa. 57.15. 2. He hath his Insignia Regalia, his Ensigns of Royalty, Corona est insigne Regiae potestatis; His Crown, Rev. 6.2. His Sword, Psal. 45.3. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh. His Sceptre, Heb. 1.8. A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 3. His Escutcheon, or Coat-Armour, he gives the Lyon in his Arms, Rev. 5.5. The lion of the tribe of Judah. And he is, the Text saith, [Greek or Hebrew], King of Kings. He hath a Preeminence of all other Kings, he is called the Prince of the Kings of the Earth, Rev. 1.5. [Greek or Hebrew]—He must needs be so, for by him Kings reign, Prov. 8.15. They hold their Crowns by immediate Tenure from this Great King. Christ infinitely out-vies all others Princes, he hath the highest Throne, the largest Dominions, and the longest Possession, Heb. 1.8. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. Christ hath many Heirs, but no Successors. Well may he be called King of Kings, for he hath an Unlimited Power; other Kings their Power is limited, but Christ's Power is unlimited, Psal. 135.6. Whatsoever he pleased, that did he in heaven and earth, and in the seas. Christ's Power is as large as his Will. The Angels take the Oath of Allegiance to him, Heb. 1.6. Let all the angels of God worship him.
