Well, But doth he do it? Quest. 4
Yes, He doth do it, and doth it fully. Answ. The same place that I named will prove it, the 1. of the Ephesians, and the 3. verse, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in beavenly places IN Christ. Nor only meritoriously, but by the hand of Christ. And (saith he) He hath done it: with all spiritual blessings, and he hath done it by Jesus Christ.
You will say, We don't see that men are thus blest by Christ: 1for where Christ blesseth, he doth not only wish well, and good unto a wan, but he bestoweth it, yea, he doth not only bestow good, but he doth increase and multiply; But upon this account, how few are there in the world that are blest by Christ!
