SERMON III.
Quest. But cannot Christ be hid? Ans. Not of himself:1 Its hard to hide a great fire, or to cast a covering upon sweet odours that they smell not: Christs Name is as a sweet ointment poured out, he is a Mountain of spices, and he's a strong savour of Heaven, and of the higher Paradise: You may hide the man that he shall not see the Sun; but you cannot cast a garment over the body of the Sun, and hide day-light.
