Our saviour christ ⟨image 157⟩compares him self to a dead• carrion,¹ for where the carrion is there will the Eagles be, and though it be an evil smell to us and stinks in a mans noose yet it is a sweet smell to the Eagles, they will seek it out. So the the people sought out Christ, they smelt his savour, he was a sweat smell to them. He is. Odour nite aduitam. the smell of life to life They flocked about him like Eagles. Christ was the carrion, and the people were the Eagles. They had no pleasure to hear the Scribes, and the Pharisees they stank in their nose, their doctrine was unsavoury, it was but of Loliones, of decimations of Anet's seed, and Cummin and such gear. There was no comfort in it for sore consciences •es, there was no consolation ⟨image 157⟩for wounded souls, there was no remedy for since,² as was in Christs doctrine. His doctrine eased the burden of the soul, it was sweet to the common people, & sower to the Scribes. It was such comfort and pleasure to them, that they came flocking about him. Where fore came they? Ut audirent uerbū dei it was a good coming. They came to hear the word of God. It was not to be thought that they came all of one mind to here the word of GOD. It is likely that in so grat a multitude some came of curiosity, to here some novels, & some can smelling a sweet savour, to have consolation & comfort of gods word,³ for we cannot be saved without hearing of the word. It is a necessary way to salvation.
