Now doth he in order discourse, that all the parts of salvation are comprehended in Christ, & that he alone, as he is of all things the beginning & end, ought to excel & to be seen above all creatures. First he saith that we have in him redemption: & the same doth he by & by interpret (to be) remission of sins.

15 Which is the image &c. He climeth higher, & discourseth of the glory of Christ. He calleth him the Image of the invisible ⟨p. 12⟩God, whereby he declareth that it is he alone, by whom God, who otherwise is invisible, is manifested unto us: according to the saying, No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten (son) who is in the bosom of the Father he hath manifested him unto us,
