God doth not offer Offices and Redemption without a Person, nor a Person without Offices and Redemption, nor a Person with one or two Offices, and part of Redemption, but complete, as he hath appointed him a fit Saviour, as fit as can be: less will not serve, more is needless: who receives Christ his Person with Offices right, receives him with complete Redemption; or to receive Christ with his complete Redemption, is to receive him with his Offices; so that here is no cause of stumbling. Thus then you have it:

Thus then you have it:
