Ephes. 4.12, 16. For the perfecting of the Saints; for the ⟨p. 296⟩work of the Ministry; for the edifying of the body of Christ; till we all come in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man; unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that henceforth we may be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of Doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lye in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted, by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of it self in Love.
