Grace in Christ is not to be considered, as his personal perfection, but as our fulnesse. As the Fountain hath water, not for it self, but the streams; and as the Head doth not sentire, or put forth acts of sense for it self properly, but the whole compound: Insomuch that there is nothing which Christ did as Mediatour, but it was all for us; and therefore the Scripture saith,
