Christ counts not himself full, 1till he hath all his Members with him; therefore is the Church called, the fullness of him that filleth all things: mark it, Christ is the fullness of all things, and yet the Church is called, the fullness of Christ: how so? Christ is the fullness of the Church, as the Head is the fullness of the Members (supplying them with Life and Influence) and the Church is the fullness of Christ, as the Members are the fullness of the Head, making of it a complete and perfect man; Christ is the fullness of the Church for internal animation, and the Church is the fullness of Christ for external consummation. The Church is Christs outward not inward fullness, see Jeans on Colos. 1.19. page 19.
