EVery good name is as precious ointment but vnto the oh CHRIST hath God giuen a name aboue all names in heauen and earth annoynted thee with oyle aboue all thy fellowes All thy garments smell of Mirrhe Aloes and Cassia because of the sent of thy perfumes thy name is a bundle of Mirrhe cluster of Camphire and as the smell of Libanus But wee the sonnes of men haue dull senses stuffed with earthly sauours Oh therefore that thou whom my soule loueth wouldest shew thy seruant where that fragrant Spikenard is to bee found which will cast a sauour all ouer thine house and helpe him so to powre some smell portion thereof vpon thine head as might draw vs in the sauour of thine oyntment to runne after thee Had he all the treasures and Iewels of the world would hee not bestowe them vpon Altars and Crucifixes to thy honour if thou likedst of and such seruices But these vanities hee knoweth full well thy Ielousie abhorreth This thou hast shewed him that hee that prayseth thee honoureth thee Accept therefore and prosper the Office of him that desireth not heereby to gaine a name on earth who wisheth all his thoughts and workes may either honour thee or dishonour himselfe feed thy flocke or mothes who reckoneth himselfe vnworthy to bee as one of thy whelpes is willing to bee of no name or number so thou mayest bee ALL IN ALL. Guide thou my Pen and it shall shew forth thy praise Colloss 3. 11. Christ is All in All. A Magnificent title a most ample and stately Style too transcendent and comprehēsiue for any creature Man or Angell due and fit onely for him vpon whose head it is heere set by his elect vessell chosen of purpose to bee the Ensigne-bearer of his Name among the Nations worthily honoured by Augustine for the best childe of grace and faithfullest seruant of the Lord because in all his writings hee affects nothing more nothing else in a manner then to aduance his name as heere in the former part of the verse to crie downe and nullifie all other excellencies whatsoeuer that hee might in the latter magnifie or rather as you see omnifie his Lord and Master Christ giuing the Collossians to vnderstand that how euer there bee many things with men of great and different esteeme the aduantage of a Iew being much aboue a Gentile the dignitie of a Grecian aboue a Scythian or Barbarian many the priuiledges of a freeman aboue a bond-slaue yet all these with God are nothing set by who hath so set all his loue and good pleasure on his Sonne that besides or out of him hee regards no person respecteth no circumstance but slights all as Ciphers of no value Onely looke what there is of Christ in any man either by imputation or infusion so much is hee in Gods Books with whom Christ is All in All. The extent of which praise that wee may the fullier comprehend we may not measure Pauls phrase by our owne ordinarie language in which by common abuse of speech wee lend it to euery thing wee meane to commend a little aboue the fellowes As Salomon speaking after the sense and fashion of worldlings Bread sayes he nourisheth Wine refresheth but Money is all in all It is not true of Christ onely as a by-word or prouerbiall commendation but in the fullest racke a Proposition can bee strained vnto in our apprehension and that in a twofold relation of God and Man Looke what God can require for his satisfaction or wee desire for our perfection is so compleatly to be found in Christ that it need not bee sought elsewhere With God its true that worthy Patriarchs and Saints haue been some bodies Abraham his friend Israel a potent Prince with him Moses a faithfull Steward in his house Noah Samuel and Daniel preuailing fauourites that could doe something with him but all through and for the sake of the Messias the Heire the sonne of his desires and good pleasure in whom hee hath heaped vp the fulnesse of grace and treasures of all perfection Vnto vs sundrie things bee of some stead and vse in some cases in their seuerall times places and respects but vnto all intents and effects of Iustification Sanctification and Saluation in prosperitie in aduersitie in life and death Christ only is All in All. This All-sufficiencie of Christ as it cannot bee easily conceiued nor possiblie at once expressed so hath not the Spirit of God thought fit in one or a few Texts after one or a fewe wayes but throughout the Bible at sundrie times and manifold manners to set out the same vnto vs in types reall in types personall in prophesies in plaine termes in parables and similitudes in so much that Count Anhalt that Princely Preacher was wont to say that the whole Scriptures what were they els but swadling bands of the child Iesus hee beeing to bee found almost in euery Page in euery verse and line Many renowned persons and things we reade Stories of but the Spirit speaks not so much of them as Allegorizeth of another meaneth them on the by and Christ on the maine who is the Center at which all of them as seuerall lynes aime and directly point at The tree of Life the Arke of Noah the Ladder of Iacob and the rest of the like kind what were they but Christ whom because the world was not worthy so soone to see nor God willing at once to shew so rich a Iewell hee therefore inwrapped obscurely in these shaddowes till in the fulnesse of time hee saw fit to reueale him in open Mirrour directly by his Forerunner pointing at him Behold the Lambe of God c. And because these were but dead types not resembling to the life him that was the Life of the world and Lord of life therefore all the Prophets Kings and Priests of note and the redeemers and benefactors of the Iewes what were they but Pictures sent before of this Prince of Glory to follow after in his due time and as Starres extinguishing their borrowed light at the appearance of the Sunne of Righteousnesse to whom Moses and Elias in the persons and stead of the rest did their homage on Mount Tabor as vnto the Sunne and accomplishment of the Law and Prophets To say nothing of the imaginary Gods and proud
