In regard of the excellency of his gifts,1 God gave him not the Spirit by measure: for it pleased the Father that in him all fullness should dwell. 2For he is the only begotten Son that is in the bosom of the Father, 3and knoweth what is the will of the Father, what most pleasing and acceptable to him; and what suites he is willing to grant unto his children. God would have many things to be spoken and heard by the Prophets his servants,4 but how much greater are the things which his Son uttereth?
