Again.1 God hath so ordered things in the dispensations of His Grace under the Gospel, That Jesus Christ may be fully Honoured, Exalted. No such way to Honour Christ as this, that all should come out of His hands, to be received from Him. Pray? Was it not a great Honour to Joseph in the time of the famine in Egypt, that no bread, but should come through his hands? not a corn of grain but should come through his hands? So here: when no grace, no strength, no aid, no assistance, no supplies; but all through the hand ⟨p. 62⟩of Christ, all in a way of Receiving: does not this glorify Christ much? What is it, (I pray) that makes the Sun so glorious a creature, above all the creatures in the world; but this, That all the creatures depend upon him for light, and for warmth? This is that that makes the Lord Jesus Christ glorious, That all must be in a way of Receiving from Jesus Christ.
