Jesus a Name of all sweetness. bMel in ora, Melos in a•re, jubilus in cord. A reconciler, a Redeemer, a Saviour. When the conscience wrestles with Law, Sin, Death; nothing but horror and despair without Jesus. He is cthe way, the Truth, and the Life: without him Error, Me•dacium, Mors. Si scribas, non placet, nisi legam ibi Jesum: saith Bernard. If thou writest to me, thy letter doth not please me, unless I read there Jesus. If thou conferrest, thy discourse is not sweet, without the name of Jesus. The blessed restorer of all, of more then all that Adam lost▪ for we have gotten more by his regenerating grace, then we lost by Adams degenerating Sin.
