Grace for Grace) Or the over-flowingof Homogenial body, hada the name of the whole : Every part ofwater, is called water, though it be but a drop: Every part offire, is fire, though it be but a (park : AndE. very part of Heaven, it is called Heaven, though it be but a corner ofHeaven. And fo, every part of the Fulnefs of letias Chrift, is fulnefs. As the Philofophers fay of the foul, Anima tote in toto, that the foul is,wholly in the who", and wholly in every part : So the Fulnefs of Chrift, 'tis wholly in the Church, and 'tis wholly in every Beleever.
