2 Believe that Christ is thus filled for the good of his Church and Members, that he may communicate unto them of his fullness grace sufficient for the discharge of the duties both of their general and particular callings. For in Christ there is not only a fullness of abundance, 1in regard whereof he is sufficiently full in himself, but also a fullness of redundance, an overflowing fullness for the supply of all his members. In which respect we are said John 1. 16. Of his fullness to receive grace for grace, or, grace upon grace,2 one grace of the Spirit heaped upon another.
