First, what God the father hath done for us: Secondly, what God the Son hath done for us. And now he cometh to a notable description of God the Son, to ⟨p. 56⟩show unto us that in him we have a full and plentiful redemption. As if the Apostle should say.

This CHRIST (that you may know what a¹ plentiful & rich redemption you have in him, to the end you may rest in him alone) is thus set forth unto you as followeth. As touching his person standing of both natures, he is the most lively and express image and character of God, not only of his qualities (if yet there were any quality in the God-head) but of his very nature and essence. In whom we may behold God, which is invisible, and touch him, that is insensible, which is the principal heir of all the creatures in the world, in whom we, that believe, have right unto them.
