2 Weak Saints share with Christ in his Spirit and Grace. ⟨p. 94⟩In Psal. 45. 7. Christ is anointed with the Oil of gladness above his fellows. They have the Anointings of the Spirit, as well as he, though not so richly as he. They have their measure, though not that measure and proportion of the Spirit, as 1the Lord Jesus hath. So in 1 John 16. Of his fullness have all we received Grace for Grace. There is in Christ not only a fullness of Abundance, but also a fullness of Redundance: There is an overflowing fullness in Christ, as a fountain overflows, and yet still remains full. Grace for Grace, or Grace upon Grace; Abundance of grace, and the increases of graces one by another.
