By an Apostolical blessing, Grace and Peace are applied to the Colossians, Grace comprehends all the special effects of Gods favour, which by way of Sanctification tend to happiness. But Peace comprehends all the degrees of happiness, even to perfection in Heaven; God the Father and Jesus Christ is counted the Author and efficient cause of good things, as he is the Son and Mediator, he is after the Father, in effecting according to order of working.
