PALMONI is a compound word, and signifieth as much as to have all ⟨p. 41⟩hidden and secret things ready told, and as we use to speak, at ones fingers ends most absolutely and perfectly known, which is the proper Epithet of our Saviour Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of Wisdom and Understanding, and who is said to be in the Bosom of the Father: yea, who is the very Wisdom of God, as manifestly appeareth, by conference of the two Evangelists, Matthew and Luke: for that which Christ saith in MATTHEW, dBehold, I send among you Prophets, and Wise-men, and Scribes, &c. LUKE chath it, Therefore also the Wisdom of God saith, I will send among you Prophets and Apostles, &c. Last of all, he is called Eternal, Psalm. 93. 2. Thy Throne is established from before then (meaning any time, whereof a man may say then) thou art from everlasting. And that this Psalm is spoken of Christ, appeareth in the very first beginning, Jehovah reigneth. Solomon in his Proverbs fdoth notably enforce the same, JEHOVAH possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works, before then. Before the World was I anointed, before the beginning, before the first things of the Earth, when yet there were no deeps was I brought forth, when there were no Fountains heavy with water, when yet Mountains were not fastened, before the Hills was I brought forth, yet he had not made the Earth, nor streets, no not the beginning, nor dusts of the inhabited World. When he fitted the Heavens, there was I: when he appointed the circuit upon the face of the Deep, when he fortified the Clouds above when he strengthened the Fountains of the Deep, when he laid his Decree upon the Sea, that the waters should not pass the commandment of his mouth, when he appointed the foundations of the Earth. And hereunto serveth that to the Col•ssi••s gBegotten before all Creation, or before any thing was •reated, and therefore from everlasting. Agreeable whereunto is that whereby he calleth himself in the hRevelation, Alpha, and Omega, the beginning, and the end, which was, and which is, and which is to come. And in JOHN, ibefore ABRAHAM was ⟨p. 44⟩made, I am. Again, kGlorify me, O Father, with the glory which I had before the World was with thee. That also to the lHebrews, where he is said to have offered up himself, by his everlasting Spirit, is very pregnant to prove his Eternal Deity.
