As for this shepherd of whom the prophet had spoken so long before,1 it is even ⟨image 10⟩Christ our loving master, which is far an other manner of shepherd then Moses, which is hard and extreme unto his sheep, &. driveth them back in to the wilderness, where they find neither pasture, nor water, but plain scarceness, Exod .iii. But Christ is the gracious and loving shepherd, which runneth after the famy shed and lost sheep in the wilderness, and seeketh it there: And wham he findeth it, he taketh it up gladly upon his shoulders. Luc .xv. Ye & geneth his life also for his sheep. Jo .x. This must needs be a loving shepherd. Who would not be glad then to be a sheep of his?
