5. A most happy kind of regiment under which the Saints are: even such an one as the members of an head are under. An head ruleth the body not as a cruel lord and tyrant, rigorously, ¹in humanely, basely, and slavishly, but meekly, gently, ²with great compassion, and fellow-feeling. Even so doth Christ, his Church, binding up that which is broken, healing that which is maimed, directing that which wandereth, and quickening that which is dull; which privilege is so much the greater because it is proper to the Church. Though he have a golden sceptre of grace and favour to hold out to his Church (as Ahash-verosh held out his to Esther) yet he hath also ³a rod of iron to break the men of this world, and to dash them ⁴in pieces like a potters vessel. Though he be gone to prepare a place for his Saints, that where he is they may be also, yet will ⁵he make his enemies his footstool.⁶
