Seventhly, You may judge of the riches of Christ, by the Tribute and Rent that's due to him.
He is the great Landlord and owner of all that Angels and 1men possess above and below: All created Creatures are but Tenants at will to this rich Land-lord, the Lord Jesus: He puts out and puts in as he pleases; he lifts up one, and casts down another; he throws down the mighty, and sets up the needy, according to the pleasure of his own will; 2Whom he will he destroys, and whom he will he keeps alive: whom he will he binds, and whom he will he sets at liberty; whom he will he exalts, and whom he will he abases; whom he will he makes happy, and whom he will he makes miserable, &c. The Psalmist, Psal. 148. upon this account calls upon all Celestial and Terrestrial Creatures, to pay their Tribute of Praise to the Lord: He ha's given them all their beings, and he maintains them all in the beings that he ha's given them.
