Of his fulnesse have all we received Grace for Grace There is in Christ not onely a fullnesse of Abundance but also a fullnesse of Redundance There is an overflowing fullnesse in Christ as a fountaine overflowes and yet still remaines full Grace for Grace or Grace upon Grace Abundance of grace and the increases of graces one by another Grace for Grace That is as a Child in generation receives member for member Or as the Paper from the Presse receives letter for letter Or as the Wax from the Seale receives Print for Print Or as the glasse from the Image receives face for face So does the weakest Saint receive from Jesus Christ Grace for Grace That is for every grace that is in Christ there is the same grace in us in some measure There is not the weakest Saint that breaths but ha's in him some wisedome that answers to the wisedome of Christ and some love that answers to the love of Christ and some humility meeknesse and faith that answers to the humility meeknesse and faith of the Lord Jesus in truth and reallity though not in degree or quantity c. 3 Weake Saints share with Christ in the manifestations and discoveries of his father The Lord Jesus that lies in the bosome of the father hath Plutarch's reasoning is good Taton philon panta k●ina Friends have all things in common But God is our friend Ergo This was a ●are speech from a He●●hen the clearest and the fullest manifestations of the father that can be and he comes and opens the love and heart of the father he un-bosomes and un-bowels God to the weakest Saints as in John 15. 15. Henceforth I call you not servants for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doth but I have called you friends for all things that I have heard of my father I have made knowne unto you So in John 17. 6 7 8. 4 Weake Saints share with Christ in his Honourable Titles In the title of Sons 1 John 3. 12. Behold what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called The wife shares with her husband in all his Titles of honour So does a Christian with his Christ See 1 Sam. 13. 17. to the 29. Col. 2. 14 15. Ephes 2. 13 14 15 16. Heb. 2. 14 15. Rom. 8. 37. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 We doe over overcome the Sons of God! And in that of Heires Rom. 8. 17. Yea they are Priests and Prophets and Kings as well as he as you may see by comparing Revelations 1. 5 6. with 1 Pet. 2. 9. c. 5 Weake Saints share with Christ in his Conquests In 1 Cor. 15. 55 56 57. Rom. 8. 37. Christ hath triumphed over sword famine death and Devils c. and so have they thorow him also over all these we are more then Conquerours we are over and above Conquerours Oh what a blessed thing is this that weak Saints should share with Christ in his Conquests The poor weak Souldier shares with his Generall in all his noble and honourable Conquests So does a poor weak Christian share with his Christ in all his noble and honourable Conquests 6 Lastly They share with Christ in his honour and glory And what would they have more John 12. 26. If any man serve me let him follow me and where I am there shall also my servant be If any man serve me him will my father honour 1 Pet. 5. 1. Ephes 2. 6. And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus Believers are already risen in Christ their head and they doe at this instant sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus Christ as a publick person doth represent all believing soules and they are set downe in heavenly places in Christ Jesus In Rom. 8. 17. If we suffer with him we shall also reigne with him And in John 14. 1 2 3. I goe to prepare a place for you Christ is the Believers harbinger to prepare for them the best Mansions c. and if I goe and prepare a place for you I will come againe and receive you unto my selfe that where I am there ye may be also So in Rev. 3. 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my Throne even as I overcame and am set downe with my Father in his Throne Now what would you have more weak soules Christ shares with you and you share with Christ You are apt to be discouraged because you doe not share with Christ in such measures of grace comfort and holinesse as such and such strong Saints doe Oh but remember in how many weighty things Christ and you are sharers and be dejected if you can Ah Christians what though you doe not share in the honours profits pleasures and advantages of the world yet this should be your joy and Crowne that Christ and your soules are sharers in those things that are most eminent and excellent most precious and glorious and the serious remembrance hereof should bear up your heads hopes and hearts above all the troubles temptations and afflictions that come upon you in this world c.
