10 Yet he confesseth that we want this incomparable benefit, till Christ be made ours: where also he showeth, what this union, should be truly a notable and an effectual union: but mystical not essential. Then he showeth to what end Osiander requireth so importunately essential righteousness: and essential habitation of Christ in us, that is to say, first, to obtain that God hath poured himself into us by a gross mixture (and that to establish a carnal feeding of Christ in the Sacrament) moreover to win that God doth really breath his righteousness into us: whereby we may be really righteous with him. Through Christ, saith Peter are given the precious and most great promises that we should be made partakers ⟨p. 144⟩of the nature of GOD: As though we were now such as the Gospel promiseth,1 that we shall be at the last coming of Christ.
