God gave to him. 1How can it be given to Christ, seeing he was God, and had all things? Ans. We conceive of Christs 2. ways: first, as he is God: secondly, as he is Mediator and head of the Church, and so he is both God and man. As he is God, the Father gives him nothing, seeing he is by nature the same ⟨p. 5⟩with the Father in all things, save in propriety of persons. Secondly, he is conceived as the Mediator, not God simply, but God-man, or God made man: and so he is said to receive of the Father in respect of his manhood, as he is God-man, or God incarnate. So he saith: All power is given me of the Father. Mat. 28. that is, as he is Mediator and God incarnate, and head of his Church. Phil. 2. God gave him a name, &c. not as he was simply God, but as he was Mediator and in his manhood: so here the revelation was given him not as he was God simply, but as he was head of the Church, Mediator and God incarnate.
