Be our •innes never so many for number, never so heinous for nature, never so full for measure, yet the mercy of God may give us a Star; that shall bring us, not to the Babe Jesus in a Manger, but to be Christ a King in his Throne. Let no penitent Soul despair of mercy.

Christ manifested himself to two sorts of people in his swathing Clouts; to these Magicians, and to Shepherds: the latter simple and ignorant,1 the other learned and wicked. So August▪ In rusticitate Pastorum imperitia proevalet, in Sacrilegijs magorum imp•etas. Yet to both these, one in the day of his nativity the other in this Epiphany, did that Saviour, with whom is no respect of of persons manifest his saving mercy. Whether thou be poor for Goods of the world, or Poorer for the Riches of grace, be comforted; thou mayest one day see the salvation of God.
