Now the effects that flow to us from hence, are either in Christ for us, or in us by Christ. In Christ for us, there are two effects, expiation and reconciliation to the father. In us by Christ are three effects, justification, sanctification and glorification.

In all fullness]
In all fulnesse]
The ubiquitaries do abuse this place, for they allege that this place proves, that the essential properties of the divine nature are communicated really to the humane, and so they say Christ is in his humane nature omnipotent, every where present and omniscient: this they fall upon to establish his real presence in the sacrament. But that this place cannot fit their turns, may appear by these reasons, 1. He saith, in whom, that is, in which person the Godhead dwells &c. now it is not doubted by any, but that the person of Christ is omnipotent, every where present &c. 2. Be it, in which body the Godhead dwells &c. yet this proves nothing for them, for so he dwells in the Saints, and yet they do not say, they are every where present. 3. When he saith, all fullness, this fullness notes the essence as well as the properties: now I hope they will not say the essence is wholly communicated to the body of Christ. 4. All fullness imports all attributes as well as some, now all attributes are not communicated: as for example, the body of Christ was not eternal. Lastly, the same was cleared before, the fullness of the Godhead is there as the light is in the sun.
