Human nature in its fourfold state ... In several practical discourses

I. The saints shall have kingly power and authority given them. Our Lord gives not empty title •o his favou••res; he makes them kings indeed. The dominion of the saints will be a dominion far exceeding that of the greatest monarch ever was on earth. They will be absolute masters over sin, that sometime had dominion over them. They will have a complete ru•e over their own spirits; an entire management of all their affections and inclinations, which now create them so much molestation: the turbulent root of corrupt afflictions shall be for ever expelled out of that kingdom, and never be able any more to give them the least disturbance. They shall have power over the nations, the ungodly of all nations, and shall rule them with a rod of iron, R•v ii 26 27. The wh•le world of the wicked shall be broken before them: Satan shall be bruised under their feet, Rom. xvi 20. He shall never be able to fallen a temptation on them any more: but he will be judged by them: and in their sight, cast with the reprobate crew unto the l•ke of fire and brimstone. So shall the rule over their oppressors. Having fought the good fight, and got the victory, Christ will entertain them as Joshua did his captains, causing them come near, and put their feet on the necks of kings, Josh. x. 24
