It is said afterward, that Christ walketh in the middest of the seven golden Candlesticks: 1that is, He is always present with His ⟨p. 28⟩Church, to feed it, govern it, defend it, and comfort it. The Prophet saith that Christ hath seven eyes which go through the whole world; whereby is signified his watchful providence for his Church; for he is always looking out for the good of it, to defend and protect it against all adversary power. Which thing was figured in the Rams skins, wherewithal the Ark was covered, to defend it against all violence of wind and weather. Even so the merciful protection of Christ, as it were the continual covering of his Church.
