This verse contains in it self an excellent proposition concerning Christ, viz. That the Godhead is in the body, that is, in the humane nature of Christ; and this is amplified, 1. by the manner of presence, he dwelleth there. 2. by the measure, in all fullness.

The word Corporally hath been diversly interpreted. Corporally, that is, truly and indeed. Corporally, that is, not in show or shadow only, but completely, in comparison of the shadows of the law, or prefiguring signs. He dwelleth not in Christ as he did in the Temple. Corporally, that is, according to the flesh. Corporally, in respect of the manner of his presence, not as he is in all creatures by efficacy or power, nor as he is in the Saints by his grace, nor as he is in the blessed by glory, but corporally, that is, by union with the person of the word: but I think it is safest and plainest, to take it in the third sense, viz. corporally, that is, in his humane nature.
