Ye shall be unto me a Kingdom of Priests and an holy Nation. And alluding thereunto, it is said of all the Faithful in 1. Pet 2 9 Ye are a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People.

But by another Birth, from the Spirit of God making New Creatures of us, we are Born Kings; there are many Crowns that belong unto us. Particularly.
