Ephesians4:7

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ .

Either by Grace he means Gifts which are not common to all Believers, but proper to some, according to their various functions and places in the Church, Rom. 12.6. 1 Cor. 12.11. Or rather more generally it comprehends also those Graces which are common to all Believers as such, Faith, Hope, Love, Zeal, &c. which though they are of the same kind in all, and have the same object, yet they are received in different degrees and measures.

In that measure in which it pleaseth Christ to give them, who gives to some one gift, to some another; to some one degree of Grace, to some another: all have not the same, but need the help of those that have what they want.
