“It is generally allowed, if I mistake not, that the kingdom of Christ is no other than the Gospel Church;* which is both distinguished from the world, and opposed to it.” (Volume 2, Pages 242–243)

“The empire of Christ, indeed, extends to every creature: for all authority in heaven and on earth is in his hands, and he is head over all things to the church. But the kingdom of which we treat, stands distinguished from that of general Providence, as well as from every political state. It must be considered, therefore, as consisting of those persons whom he bought with his blood, whom he calls by his grace, and over whom he reigns as a spiritual monarch.” (Volume 2, Pages 243–244)

“The kingdom of Christ is not of this world, relative to its immunities, its riches, and its honours” (Volume 2, Page 305)

“For Christ has not made an external covenant with any people. He is not the king of any particular nation. He dwells not in a palace made with hands. His throne is in the heavenly sanctuary; nor does he afford his visible Presence in any place upon earth. The partition wall between Jews and Gentiles has long been demolished: and, consequently, our divine Sovereign does not stand related to any people, or to any person, so as to confer a relative sanctity, or to produce an external holiness.” (Volume 2, Page 258)

“The saying to which I advert, is part of that good confession, which our Lord witnessed before Pontius Pilate: My kingdom is not of this world.” (Volume 2, Page 241)
