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.

- 1A Metaph. 15.
For by him are all things created in heaven and earth, things visible and invisible, even the Angels themselves, to the worshipping of whom you are seduced. And amongst them, all, of what degree or place so ever they be, whether they sit in Thrones, or whether they have Lordship, principally, or power over other Angels, and all things else, were both made by him and for him.
