Quotable Theonomy: Christianity in National Constitutions (Matthew Henry)
"Christianity should be twisted in with national constitutions, that the kingdoms of the world should become Christ’s kingdoms, and their kings the church’s nursing-fathers."
Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible: Matthew 28 (1706)

Durandal, see also Isaiah 49:23; and, you might appreciate the latest Theonomy Applied post on Constantine.
