Mark, But one Tree, and yet such a Tree whose body reached as far as the River reached; indeed Ezekiel saith this Tree is all Trees for meat, yet not to show that there is more Trees of Life than one, but to show that all that can be thought of that is good for soul-nourishment is to ⟨p. 272⟩be found in this one, that is in Christ Jesus: and it is further evident, that though he saith all Trees, as if he meant many, yet he spake but metaphorically, to show thereby the fullness of Christ; because, John doth understand him so, calling it one Tree, to wit, the Tree of Life.
