As for the Al-sufficiency of Jesus Christ: 1He is the first born among many Brethren. He is the first fruit that sanctifieth all the rest. I am the first, and the last, says he. The first is the cause of the rest. The Sun is the first, and the great light, so the cause of all other light. Jesus Christ, He is called the first, in this same Chapter, 15. verse This was He (says John) of whom I spake, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me, for He was before me. So ye read it, but it is He was my first, preferred before me,2 for He was my first; and therefore the first, giving a Being unto all that follows. Jesus Christ, He does give a Being unto all our graces. I am the way, the truth, and the life, says He.3
