Again, take the argument the Apostle useth; saith he, this man must have all subject to him, all but God; he must have Angels subject to him, for he hath put all things in subjection under his feet: This could not be Adam, no not in the state of innocency; but it's true of Jesus Christ, Angels and all were under his feet.
Againe, take the argument the Apostle useth; saith he, this man must have all subject to him, all but God; he must have Angels subject to him, for he hath put all things in subjection under his feet: This could not be Adam, no not in the state of innocency; but it's true of Jesus Christ, Angels and all were under his feet.
2. As it is not meant of man in innocency, so it cannot be meant of man fallen neither, that is as plain ⟨p. 13⟩as the other. The Apostle himself saith, that we see not all things subject to him. Some think that is an objection the Apostle answers, but indeed it's a proof to prove that man fallen cannot be meant, for we do not see all things subject to him: You have not any one man of the whole race of man-kind to whom all things are subject; take all the Monarchs of the world, there was never any man that was a sinner that had all subject to him, therefore it is not meant of man fallen: but saith he, We see Jesus crowned with glory and honour, and therefore it's this man, and no man else that is there spoken of: And then again, take notice, that it is not an Angel to whom all shall be subject, but plainly man that is made a little while lower then the Angels, but then crowned with glory and honour.
