One is lawful (i.) such a dominion and subjection 1which the word and will of God doth or will warrant, as that of persons over persons, or of God and Christ over all persons and creatures: God may command us, for he made us; and Christ may command us, for he redeemed us, both our persons and our services fall unto him, we are not our own, for we are bought with a price, therefore serve or glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods, 1 Corinth. 6. 19, 20.
