First, You may judge of his riches, by the dowry and portion his father hath given him. In Psal. 2. 7. Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee; ask of me, and I will give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. He is the heir of all things, all things above and below, in heaven and earth, are his. Heb. 1. 2. God hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed Heir of all things. Christ is the richest Heir in heaven and earth: Men cry up this man ⟨p. 208⟩to be a good match, and that, and why so? but because they are great Heirs. Ah! but what are all the great Heirs of the world, to this Heir, the Lord Jesus? Joseph gave Portions to all his brethren, but to Benjamin a Portion five times as good as what he gave the residue: So the Lord scatters Portions among the Sons of men, he gives brass to some, gold to others; temporals to some, spirituals to others, but the greatest portion of all, he hath given into the hands of Christ, whom he hath made the Heir of all things. Rev. 11. 15. And the seventh Angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever. So in Chap. 19. 11, 12. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white Horse, and he that sat upon him was called, faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge, and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many Crowns. (Mark that) what are Princes single Crowns, and the Popes triple Crown to Christs many Crowns? Certainly he must be very rich, that ha's so many Kingdoms and Crowns; wait but a while, and you shall see these Scriptures made good, &c.

He is the heir of all things, all things above and below, in heaven and earth, are his. Heb. 1. 2. God hath in these last dayes spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed Heire of all things. Christ is the richest Heire in heaven and earth: Men cry up this man ⟨p. 208⟩to be a good match, and that, and why so? but because they are great Heires. Ah! but what are all the great Heires of the world, to this Heire, the Lord Jesus? Joseph gave Portions to all his brethren, but to Benjamin a Portion five times as good as what he gave the residue: So the Lord scatters Portions among the Sons of men, he gives brasse to some, gold to others; temporalls to some, spiritualls to others, but the greatest portion of all, he hath given into the hands of Christ, whom he hath made the Heire of all things. Rev. 11. 15. And the seventh Angel sounded, and there were great voyces in heaven, saying, The Kingdomes of this world are become the Kingdomes of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reigne for ever and ever. So in Chap. 19. 11, 12. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white Horse, and he that sat upon him was called, faithfull and true, and in righteousnesse he doth judge, and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many Crownes. (Mark that) what are Princes single Crownes, and the Popes tripple Crowne to Christs many Crownes? Certainly he must be very rich, that ha's so many Kingdomes and Crownes; waite but a while, and you shall see these Scriptures made good, &c.
