On

the

Excellency

of

Chrifl.

70

no

King that ever

was

in

the

World

but either

God from

h:.aven

do

:h

tell people that

hee would have

fuch

a

one

to

bee

a

King,

or

hee

is

made

by

the people

:

For

what

is

one

mans flefh

,

more

than another

mans?

(I

fay)

at

firf}

men

they agree

together

to

fet up

fuch

a

man,

or

family, to

have

a Kingly

Power

,

fo

that

the Kingly power of

the Family,

and

of

every one

that

comes

of that

Family,

it

is

by

the

people at

firff

, none

muff

plead

it

to bee

by

conquelf

,

for

then

whofoever

can

conquer

again

,

hee

muff

bee

King,

if

another

can

conquer

hee

mutt

have

right

too,

if that

bee

the

onely right,

if

that

were

the

onely right that

a

King had

over

his

people,

conquef,

then

as

hee

had

his

right

over

the

people

by conquef}, fo

if

the people

conquer him,

then they

have right.

Certainly

the

belt right

of

all

the Kings

of

the

earth this

day,

it

muff bee

key

the

firf} compa,;}

with

th at

Fa-

mily,that

is

their

right.

I

but our King

that

wee have

to

do

withal( , hee makes

his

SubjeEts, they make

not

him

King, but this

King makes

all

his

SubjeEts;

Indeed if

Kings

could

give being

to

their Subjeas

,

then their right

were

another

kinde

of

right than now they have

;

but the truth

is,

SubjeIs

do give

being to their

King

;

I

but

our King

the Lord Chrift hee

is

Wonderful

,

a

Wonderful

King,

in

this,

becaufe hee

Both

give

being

to

all

his Sub-

jeas.

4

And

then

fourthly

,

The

Subje&s

of

th;s

King

are

for

him ,

bee

is

not

for

them

;

whereas

it

is

otherwife

between

man

and man

;

certainly the

Subje&}s

are

not made for

the

King,

but the King

is

made

for

his SubjeLts

;

a

Kingdome is

not

made

for.

a King

but

a

King for

the'

Kingdome

:

But

it

is

otherwife

here,

Chrift

was

not made

for

us,

but

wee

were

made

fork

íl

r.,

all

the

Subjects

of

Chrift were

made

for

the

honour

of

Jefus Chrift,

and

Chrift

I

fay,

was

not

fet

up

King

for them.

And

theri fifthly

,

This

King

Jens

Chrift.,

is

King

in

another

manner than

any

other Kings upon

the

earth ,

fo:

it

is

hee

alone

that

makes Laws,

other

Kings

have not

power

themfelves

to

make Laws

,

but

together

with

their people,
