But that which now I advise you to avoid, i• the error of them who look so much at Christs Mediation with God, that they scarce observe his work with man: And the error of them who look so much at his work on man, that they overlook his Mediation with God: And theirs that so observe h•s sacrifice, as to make light of his continual intercession: or that observing both, make light of his doctrine and example: Or that observe these so much as to make light of his sacrifice and intercession: Or that extol his doctrine and example, and overlook his giving of the Spirit to all his living members: Or that cannot magnify any one of these, without depressing or extenuating some other. If Christs Kingdom be not divided, Mat. 12.25. sure Christ himself is not divided, nor his works, 1 Cor. 1.13.
