1. Concerning his Kingly office, Christ being risen from the dead, and ascended into heaven, and having all power in heaven and earth, he doth spiritually governe his Church, and doth exercise his power over all Angels and men, good and bad, to the preservation and salvation of the elect, and to the over-ruling and destruction of his enemies. By this Kingly power he applieth the benefits, virtue, and fruits of his Prophesie and Priesthood to his elect, subduing their sinnes, preserving and strengthening them in all their conflicts against Satan, the World, and the Flesh, keeping their hearts in faith and filiall feare by his spirit: by this his mighty power he ruleth the vessels of wrath, using, limiting and restraining them as it seems good to his infinite wisdome.^a
