, he is exalted and dignified above all creatures, and his
glory is above all the earth; 2. As Mediator, he exerciseth acts of divine
power and omnipotence over all creatures, in the behalf of, and for the
good of his church, and restraineth, or diverteth, or destroyeth all his
church's enemies; 3. As Mediator, he is king, head, and governor to none
but his church: neither was all government put in his hand, but that of
the church only.

I could enlarge myself further against that most dangerous principle,
"That all government, even that which is civil, is given to Christ, and to
him as Mediator;" but let these things suffice for the present. The
reverend brother's opinion will find better entertainment among the Jews,
who expect a temporal monarchy of the Messiah; and among Papists, who
desire to uphold the Pope's temporal authority over kings, as Christ's
vicegerent upon earth.

EXTREME UNSATISFACTORINESS OF MR COLEMAN'S PIECE,

PUBLISHED LAST WEEK UNDER THE TITLE OF

"A BROTHERLY EXAMINATION RE-EXAMINED."

WHEREIN HIS SELF CONTRADICTIONS;

HIS YIELDING OF SOME THINGS, AND NOT ANSWERING TO OTHER THINGS OBJECTED
AGAINST HIM;

HIS ABUSING OF SCRIPTURE; HIS ERRORS IN DIVINITY;

HIS ABUSING OF THE PARLIAMENT, AND ENDANGERING THEIR AUTHORITY; HIS
ABUSING OF THE ASSEMBLY;

HIS CALUMNIES, NAMELY, AGAINST THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND AND AGAINST MYSELF;

THE REPUGNANCY OF HIS DOCTRINE TO THE SOLEMN LEAGUE AND COVENANT;--

ARE PLAINLY DEMONSTRATED.
