1That which is the foundation of this kingdom, St. Paul declares, 1 Cor. 3.11. Other foundation can no man lay, than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Christ is the foundation, first in his proper person: Because all the members of his kingdom, namely the Saints, being conjoined and inserted into him, doth he carry about him, keeping and holding them together, as the foundation doth the other parts of the building, as the vine doth its branches. Then again by his doctrine: For, as good laws are the sinews of a political-kingdom: so this kingdom is gathered, kept, and governed, by the doctrine concerning Christ. And as without a foundation the building cannot consist:2 so unless we hold to Christ, and what he is, and what he hath done for us, whatsoever else may seem to be piety or comfort, it's fading, it's […] nothing.
