This our Saviour doth in a peculiar Sense stile his Kingdom, of which, tho’ it is in this World, yet he saith, that it is not of the World, because it is of a Spiritual and Heavenly Nature, having nothing of earthly and carnal Pomp, erected and propagated without Human visible Force; but by the Spirit of God secretly and effectually working in the Hearts of Men: Not by Might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord, Zach. 4. 6. The same Thing is meant, by cutting the Stone out of the Mountains without Hands.
John Short — John Short, A Sermon upon the Head-ship of Christ, Preach’d the 31st of December 1706, the Day of Thanksgiving for the Happy and Wonderful Successes of This Year (1707), p. 14
