Therefore let us not be ashamed to take our water from the fountain, seeing Christ is the fountain of all wisdom, of all righteousness, of all truth, of all knowledge, of all salvation, and briefly of all goodness: therefore there is no other Ark to save us from the flood, no other ladder to ascend with into heaven, no other Joseph to feed us in the famine, no other Moses to lead us through the wilderness. But as the river S•loa runneth through all the land of Judea, & watereth the whole city of God: so Christ doth show him self all in all, and all sufficient in mercy to save and to bless all his Church with spiritual gifts. If Christ be life, what shall make us ¹despair? shall Satan? No, for he hath overcome Satan. Shall death? No, for he hath overcome death. Shall hell? No, for he hath overcome hell. Shall the Law?

Life is come, and light and salvation: life to the dead, light to the blind, and salvation to the damned. For Christ is called salvation, to show that without him we are all damned firebrands of hell, heirs of condemnation, and forsaken of God.

I would fain be disproved, that Nineveh might be saved though Jonah would not.

Therfore let vs not be ashamed to take our water from the fountaine, seeing Christ is the foū taine of all wisedome, of all righteousnesse, of all truth, of all knowledge, of all saluation, and briefly of all goodnesse: therefore there is no other Arke to saue vs from the floud, no other ladder to ascend with into heauē, no other Ioseph to feed vs in the famine, no other Moses to lead vs through the wildernesse. But as the riuer Sloa rūneth through all the land of Iudaea, & watereth the whole citie of God: so Christ doth shew him selfe all in all, and all sufficient in mercie to saue and to blesse all his Church with spirituall gifts. If Christ be life, what shall make vs
