TO THE CHRISTIAN PUBLIC. 95
^ni, in an accommodated sense, can be supposed to be
etldued with a throne or kingdom that never will cease ;:
a question which St. Paul decides in the most plain and
P°sitiVe terms, in i Cor. xv. 24, 25 : "Then cometh the
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
eu the Father ; when he shall have laid down all rule and
^Lhority and power. For he must reign till he hath put
^ enemies under his feet." (Verse 28 :) " And when al)
iftgs shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also
^vise/fbe subject unto him that put all things under him,
^at God may be all in all." 'Here the apostle declares,
*W Jesus wiU in the en(j detiver up his kingdom to God the
Qther, and not to God composed (as the Editor maintains)
^the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; and that the
01-1 himself, unlimited to any particular capacity, whether
Mediatorial, human, or divine, shall be subject to the
ather, that God alone may be all in all. Is there in this
Passage, or in any other part of the Scriptures, any
*uthority for saying that the Son's mediatorial throne
Qlr'nc shall be delivered up to the Father ? On the con-
rary, neither he nor any one, can in a mediatorial
CaPacity exercise a kingdom ; but Jesus, as the king of
°Ur faith, the anointed with the oil of gladness above his
bellows, has a kingdom and throne, and that kingdom
0l% can he deliver up in the end of the world, that God
May be all in all. Besides the above verse (28) asserts, that
as the Son, the highest title that Jesus is honoured
^h, will be subject to Him who has exalted him above
al1 creatures. No one, besides, unbiassed by early pre-
Judice, can ever venture to pronounce such an opinion as,
^at a being can lose his kingdom in any capacity what-
ever, and yet be unchangeable.
