But where Christ is given, hee takes off the curse, sanctifies all; hee doth not only turn comforts into blessings, but crosses into blessings.
A blessing in sickness, in poverty, in death, &c. Christ bestows himself upon his Church, he doth pass over himself, and all his by deed of gift, he and all his is yours: As you and all yours are his; your sins, and sorrows all his.

And all his are yours; his merits, his Spirit. As Christ said to the Father, so may ye to Christ; all thine is mine; his merit, clothing, his blood drink, flesh meat. He is meat, drink, clothes. Christ doth not stay here, but he bestows Heaven upon his Church. It is the Manor house which he hath reserved for his Spouse. Father, I will that those whom thou hast given me, may be where I am, &c.
