Sometimes the word is used for Fulfilling, and Perfecting of a thing: So Love is said to be the Fulfilling of the Law. So it is not taken here, for though Christ be the end of the Law, yet notwithstanding, the Fullness spoken here, is that which we do receive, and that is the Fullness of grace.

The word Firstly, and Properly is given unto Vessels, that are brim-full of liquor; and so Metaphorically applied here unto our Lord Jesus Christ, who is brim-full of grace; in whom there is no emptiness, there is no evacuity. While I speak of Jesus Christ, I mean Christ as Mediator, as Godman. There is a Fullness in Christ as God: That is not the fullness, so Christ is not taken here, by what is said in the verse before the Text, the 14 verse. And the Word was made flesh; And of His Fullness we have all received: So that it is the Fullness of Christ as Mediator, there is a Fullness of grace in Christ as Mediator. I shall keep me close unto the words. The Fullness is here spoken of which we are said to receive, of which we receive; we receive grace for grace; 'tis the Fullness therefore of grace that is in Christ, that I am now speaking of.
