3. An honour to make Christ himself perfect: for as the several ¹members make a natural body perfect, so the several Saints, this body which is Christ. In this respect the Church is said to be the fullness of him that filleth all in all. ²Christ filleth all things, and yet the Church maketh him full: which is to be understood of that voluntary condition whereunto Christ subjected himself, to be the head of a body: so as without the parts of the body he is imperfect, as a natural body is maimed and imperfect if it want but the least member thereof. How can we now think but that he will preserve and keep safe all his Saints? Will he restore to us all the parts of our natural body at the general resurrection, and will he lose any of the parts of his own mystical body?
