To show, that as Christ gave us the Victory at our first entering into faith, So he will finish that victory, by giving of us Eternal Salvation. Thus is he the Author and finisher of our faith. For as sure as at first we received the Palm-branch by faith, so surely ⟨p. 168⟩shall we we•r it in our hands, as a token of his faithfulness in the Heaven of Heavens, for ever; Revel. 7.9.

7. Open Flowers, are also carved here; To show, that Christ, who is the door to glory, as well as the door to grace, will be precious to us at our entering in thither, as well as at the first step we took thither-ward in a sinful miserable World. Christ will never lose his sweet-scent in the Nostrils of his Church. He is most sweet now, vvill be so at Death, and sweetest of all, when by him we shall enter into that Mansion-house prepared for us in Heaven.
