The Kingly Office of Christ.

:165p. 69–71

Now for these Offices of Christ; his Kingly Office first; Christ is King, and wonderful in this Office of his, for you cannot understand Christ your Saviour aright, except you understand him, as before in his Natures, in his Personal union, and so in his Offices. First, As King, I shall not need to show Scripture for these, the Scripture is full. If you read the 45. Psalm at your leisure about the middle of it, Thy Throne, O God, is for ever and ever, the Sceptre of thy Kingdom ⟨p. 71⟩is a right Sceptre. And Rev. 17.14. Christ there is said to be Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. Now Christ is a glorious King and wonderful in his Kingly power.
