But as the river Siloa runneth through all the land of Judea, and watereth the whole City of God: so Christ 1doth show himself all in all, & all-sufficient in mercy to save and bless all his Church with spiritual gifts. If Christ be salvation, what shall make us despair? Shall Satan? No, for he hath overcome Satan. Shall death? No, for he hath overcome death. Shall hell? No, for he hath overcome hell. Shall the Law? No, for he hath fulfilled 2the Law. Shall wrath? No, for he hath trodden the wine-press of his Fathers wrath. Therefore it was a sweet saying of one at his death: When mine iniquity is greater then thy mercy, O God, then will I fear and despair.
