Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness,
Tomorrow see again, and do not kill
The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness.

John declared that 'Christ received not of the fulness at the first,' but that he 'continued from grace to grace until he received a fulnesss and thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first.'
