A fourth volume containing one hundred and fifty sermons on several texts of Scripture…

(2.) As for his Kingly Office: a finite Power would never suffice for that; Christ is to break the Force of Enemies, to raise the Dead, to pour out the Spirit, to bestow Grace and Glory; all these are Christ's Donatives as King of the Church: As a King he is to be an Original Fountain of Life to all the Elect: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so, he that eateth me, even he shall live by me, John 6.57. All these things are the Glory of God, which he will not give to another, and they cannot be performed by any but God. The Creatures are limited, they have not such a Vastness in them, that out of their Fullness we might receive Grace for Grace, as we do from Christ, John 1.16. Of his Fullness have we all received, and Grace for Grace.
