He is the way, the truth, the life: and therefore sends out these as describers of the way, dispensers of the truth, cō ductors to the life. If the way had not found vs, wee should neuer haue found the way. Here then is his Goodnesse; though a King, yet hee preacheth himselfe, and sends Preachers. As was Solomon, his type; both a King ouer Israel, and a Preacher to Israel. Time was; Christ refused to be a King, denyed to be a Iudge, but vouchsafed to be a Preacher.
