To this LORD all Knees must bow, Phil. 2.10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Name is put here for Person; To that holy thing JESUS, to the Sceptre of that Divine Person every knee shall bow. Bowing is put for Subjection; all must be subdued to him as Sons or Captives, submit to him as to their Lord or Judge: Kiss the Son, Psal. 2.12. With a Kiss of Love and Loyalty. We must not only cast ourselves into Christ's Arms to be saved by him, but we must cast ourselves at his Feet to serve him.

Second Title, Christ is exalted to be a Prince, Dan. 12.1. There shall stand up Michael the great prince. Some think it was a created Angel, but it was Angelus Foederis, Christ the Angel of the Covenant. He is a great Prince, Rev. 1.5. The prince of the kings of the earth. They hold their Crowns by immediate Tenure from him. His Throne is above the Stars; he hath Angels and Archangels for his Attendance. Thus he is exalted in his Titles of Honour.
