Secondly, of these works of Christ we must note, that some are uncommunicable, others communicable. Uncommunicable are, first, his works of Merit and Mediation.

Those which are Communicable, and wherein we may be by his Grace made partakers, are such as either belong to the other life, or to this. In the¹ other life our Bodies shall be made Conformed to the transfigured and Glorious body of Christ; when He appeareth we shall be made like unto Him, by the power whereby He subdueth all things unto Himself. Here, some are again extraordinarily Communicable, being for ministry and service, not for sanctity or Salvation.
