PHIL. The green 1Olive leaves declare unto us the unmeasurable abundance of virtue es, which are in Christ, of whom alone we have all that ever good is, And what so ever virtue is in us or what so ever good deed come from us, all that we do receive of Christ, the sole Author & fountain of all goodness. I am the vine, saith Christ, & ye are the branches. He 2that abideth in me, & I in him, brim geth forth much fruit. For without me ye can do nothing. And as concerning the Palms, they signify the victory, which Christ hath gotten over Satan, sin, death, hell, desperation. &c. by his most blessed passion, & the shedding of his most precious blood, as he saith by the Prophet Oze, from the power 3of death, saith he, will I deliver them, yea from death it self will ⟨image 67⟩I redeem them. O death, I will be thy death. O hell, I will be thy destruction. Thus ye see, what is meant by the green Olives and Palms, where which the naked Cross is adorned.
