3. Christ Jesus the Mediator, which is to be true Man, should be Mediator both by his merit, and by his efficacy or power. For it sufficed not, that he died for us: but he was further to bestow through his power, his benefits upon the Church and us all, who by dying or by his death, had obtained for us righteousness, that is, the holy Ghost, life, and glory eternal: For both belong unto the Mediator, who therefore obtaineth them for us by his intercession and death: But he could not have bestowed them, had he remained in death; sith then he should have had no being. And he who is not, or hath no being, worketh nothing. In him also the same benefits are therefore placed by the God-head, that he should make us partakers of them.1 Of his fullness have all we received.
3. Christ Jesus the Mediatour, which is to be true Man, should be Mediatour both by his merit, and by his efficacy or power. For it sufficed not, that he died for us: but he was further to bestow through his power, his benefits upon the Church and us all, who by dying or by his death, had obtained for us righteousnesse, that is, the holy Ghost, life, and glory eternall: For both belong unto the Mediatour, who therefore obtaineth them for us by his intercession and death: But he could not have bestowed them, had he remained in death; sith then hee should have had no being. And he who is not, or hath no being, worketh nothing. In him also the same benefits are therefore placed by the God-head, that he should make us partakers of them.1 Of his fulnesse have all we received.
Neither ought it to seem any marvel, that Christ doth bestow the same benefits ⟨p. 309⟩
