6. Christ is resembled to a Rich treasury. Riches are lovely in mens eyes*, Ephes. 3.8. The unsearchable riches of Christ; the Angels can never dig to the bottom of this golden Mine. Christ hath the true monopoly, ⟨p. 347⟩because he hath those riches as are no where else to be found. The riches of his merit, the riches of his Spirit. Christ hath a partnership with the Father, John 16.15. All that the Father hath are mine: He is crowned with the Riches of the Deity. Alexander regarded not the Kingdom of Macedonia, when he heard of the riches of India; a Christian will in a manner despise all other riches when he hath Christs Riches, Philip. 3.8.
