This Jesus Christ is our Saviour: of whose names I forbear further discourse, being unable, though I had the tongue of Angels, to speak ought worthy canto Nomine, Tanto Numine. All that can be said, is but a little: but I must say but a little in all. But of all names ⟨p. 231⟩given to our Redeemer still Jesus is the sweetest. O•er, saith Bern. are names of Majesty, Jesus is a name of mercy. The Word of God, the Son of God, the Christ of GOD, are titles of Glory: Jesus a Saviour, is a title of grace, mercy, redemption.

The Sum of Divinity is the Scripture: the Sum of the Scripture is the Gospel, the Sum of the Gospel is Jesus Christ. In a word, Nihil continet verbum Domini, nisi verbum Dominum. There is nothing contained in the word of God, but God the Word.
