How doth Christ execute the office of a king?

Christ executeth the office of a king, in calling out of the world a people to himself,^[1] and giving them officers,^[2] laws,^[3] and censures, by which he visibly governs them;^[4] in bestowing saving grace upon his elect,^[5] rewarding their obedience,^[6] and correcting them for their sins,^[7] preserving and supporting them under all their temptations and sufferings,^[8] restraining and overcoming all their enemies,^[9] and powerfully ordering all things for his own glory,^[10] and their good;^[11] and also in taking vengeance on the rest, who know not God, and obey not the gospel.^[12]
