And then v. 3. of two Olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. The golden Candlestick is the Church, the seven Lamps are the several graces of it; the Olive trees are the abundant supplies of his grace; and the seven Pipes the manifold ways by which Christ deriveth good.
