Matthew28:18

Verse 18. All power is given to me] Christ premiseth his power, and promiseth his presence, the better to perswade them to set upon his work, his great work, of subduing the world to the obedience of the faith. Better may this King of Kings say, then that King of Spain, Sol mihi semper lucet; for he is Catholike [illegible: 2 words]. Monarch: The kingdomes of this world (and of the other too) are become the kingdomes of our Lord, and of his Christ, and [illegible: 1 word] shall reign for ever and ever, Revel. 11. 15. As for the Saints, how can they be but in an all-sufficiency, sith all is theirs, they being Christs, and Christ being Gods? what boldnesse may they take to go to Christ, as Jacob did to Joseph, when he understood that the sway of the whole land was in his hand, &c? See the Note on, Matth. 11. 27.
