By Jesus Christ, as through the Hands of a Mediator, for God receives nothing from Us im∣mediately, nor we from Him; but Jesus Christ standing in the middle between, Hands all things from the Father to Us, and so back again from Us to the Father.

With Jesus Christ, Because the Son being in all things equal to the Father, receives too equally with Him, the Glory that men render unto Him, and all in the Union of the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Christ, Because He is the Vine, and all men but the Branches in Him, and only by being in Him can they bear any Fruit to His Father, the Husband∣man.
