Doctrine 1. The Doctrine from these words is this, that there is a conveyance of all spiritual grace from Christ, to all those that believe in him. p. 63 The Tenure of this conveyance discovereth it self in those particulars. Partic. 1. The first particular is this, that there is fully enough in the Lord Jesus Christ for every faithful soul. p. 66 Partic. 2. As there is enough in Christ to supply all the manes of this Saints, so Christ doth supply unto them whatsoever is •st fit to the need of every poor Saint. p. 68. Partic. 3. Is this, as the Lord Christ doth communicate what is fit, so ⟨image 4⟩he doth preserve what he doth bestow and communicate to the believing soul. p. 73 Partic. 4. Is this: the Lord doth not only preserve what grace, he doth give, but he quickens the grace he maintains. p. 76 Partic. 5. Is this: As he quickeneth what he maintains, so he perfects what he quickens. p. 77 Partic. 6. Is this: the Lord at last doth crown all the grace, he hath perfected. p. 79 Use 1. It is a word of lamentation, and terror to every unbelieving creature under Heaven; here they may see the misery of their condition. p. 81 Use 2. It is a ground of comfort to all the Saints of God, that have interest in all the riches of this goodness. p. 84 Use. 3. It is a word of instruction to teach every Saint to lie down in the dust, that they all might glory in the Lord. p. 91 Use 4. It is an use of exhortation, or direction, to teach the Saints, whither to go to fetch succour and supply, of what ever grace they want: Christ is made all in all; why then away to the Lord Jesus Christ. p. 99 Question. But you will say, what course or means shall we use to get these things at Christs hands? Answer. The means are two: First, eye the promise daily, keep it within view. p. 104 Secondly, you must labour to yield to the Soul, to the power of the Spirit, and to the virtue of grace which is in Christ. p. 109 Now this particular conveyance of grace from Christ, it is done two ways; partly by imputing, partly by imparting. p. 113. and they are both in the Text: Christ is made righteousness, or justice, that is, he doth justify a sinner by imputation, and Christ is made sanctification, and redemption; that is, he doth redeem
