The land therefore out of which the Church and people of God ascend, is the land of darkness, the kingdom of Satan, sin and the world; the place whereunto they ascend, is the kingdom of Jesus Christ, first the kingdom of grace, and then the kingdom of glory; for as soon as Christ hath chosen his Church to be his subjects and members; and they have chosen him to be their king and head, then the will of their sovereign is, that being elected his subjects, they ⟨p. 131⟩should no longer live in the kingdom of sin and Satan, where they were captives, but that they should be admitted into his own kingdom, that where he their king is, there they his subjects should be also: as it is, Joh. 17. 24. 12. 26.1
