2. His Mediatory Righteousness, wrought as Mediator.
The first of these cannot be imputed to us; it is essential, but the latter of these (Justitia Mediatoria) his Mediatory Righteousness, or that Righteousness he wrought for us as Mediator, whereby he did subject himself to the Precepts, to the Penalties, Commands, and Curses; answering both Gods vindictive and rewarding Justice; This is communicated to us, and made ours, by virtue of which we stand recti in curia, justified in Gods sight, which is the first beauty Christ adorns his Church withal.

2. A second beauty wherewith Christ adorns his Church, and makes her lovely, is, The Beauties of his Graces; which may be called the Beauties of Holiness, and set forth to us by those Bracelets, and chains, Ezek. 16.9. and here by one Chain, &c. which is communicated to us, by way of Infusion, or Emanation, whereby Christ by his Spirit, doth derive from himself as the universal Principle, and common stock of Grace; Grace for Grace, according to that, Joh. 1.16. Of his fullness we have all received Grace for Grace.
