1First they commend the Majesty and dignity of Christ, that he alone is found in the whole universal world, which hath rule over all, which is the only saviour of the world, the revealer also of godly mysteries, and governor of all. For this is to take and to open the book: which we have now oft times repeated. Secondly they annex the cause, why this glory should be only of the lamb or son of God: because, say they, thou waste killed. And they understand by the less the more, to wit his whole incarnation, and the whole mystery of our redemption, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, and the residue. He therefore is the true and only mediator of God and men, he is the only saviour, as he that alone was incarnate & crucified for us: he is the only governor, which by his humility deserved to be exalted, Philip. 2. And he is a most fit governor of all things, as of whom all men may, as of their most faithful saviour, and even their brother, hope well, what things so ever chance unto them through his government, &c.

He therefore is the true and only mediatour of God and men, he is the only sauiour, as he that alone was incarnate & crucified for vs: he is the only gouernour, whiche by his humilitie deserued to be exalted, Philipp. 2. And he is a most fitte gouernour of al thinges, as of whome al men maye, as of their most faithful sauiour, and euen their brother, hope well, what thinges so euer chaunce vnto them through his gouernement, &c.
