Now, is Christ a Lamb? then must you be sicut agni, as Lambs. Christ is the principal and truest exemplar; a general rule without exception. Imitation doth soonest come, and best become Children and Scholars. We are Children. Math. 5. 1Love your enemies, &c. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven. We are Servants to 2Christ. Jo. 13. Ye call me Master, & Lord, & ye say well: ⟨p. 16⟩for so I am. Though we cannot tread in his steppes, we must walk in his path. As Virgil of Ascanius, son to Aeneas. Sequiturque patrem non passibus aequis. Now our imitation is confined (not to his miracles, but) to his morals.
