Again, it is hid under a base out-side, even as Christ was hid under a Carpenters son, as 1the wisdom of God is hid under the foolishness of preaching, as those whom the world was not worthy of were hid under sheep-skins, and goat-skins, Hebr. 11. and as the great mysteries of salvation are hid under the mean elements of Bread and Wine: after the same manner this life is hid; I say under a base out-side, because those that live this life of grace, for the most part, are base and contemptible in the eye of the world: And this is another thing that hides this life from us.
