But again; As he shall be thus profitable to his People for shadow and reviving; so he will be in the midst of the Street of it for food, for refreshing, and replenishing that way. I sate down under his shadow with great delight, said she, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. Ezekiel tells us, that this Tree is all Trees;1 And on the bank of the River, on this side, and on that, were [all Trees] for meat. Indeed Christ is all Trees; yea, there is ⟨p. 269⟩more to be found in him for the food of the Soul, than there can be on all Trees for the food of the Body. He is a Fir-tree for tallness, greenness and strength; He is an Olive for fatness, a Vine for sweetness2 and goodness; for therewith is refreshed the heart both of God and man. What shall I say? he is the Almond-tree, the Fig-tree, the Apple-tree, all Trees; The Tree of Life also in the midst of the Paradise of God.
