CHAP. III.
The Mystical Union set forth by the Conjugal one. There is a mutual consent between Christ and believers. The believers consent imports a right knowledge, a free choice and a present compliance with Christ. Christs consent is purely gratuitous; believers purely supernatural. Christ and believers mutually make over themselves each to other. The Emphasis of that phrase (one spirit) opened. There is an intimate love between Christ and believers: he put on an humane nature for them, they put off a corrupt nature for him. He died for expiation, they die in mortification. There is a communication of good things from Christ to the Church; the Church propagates in Believers and good works. The mystical Union set forth by that of a foundation and a building. Christ laid, and Believers built on him by Divine Art. The double cement of faith and the holy Spirit. Christ is a large and strong foundation; he bears up the Church by Divine influences.
