7. Christ is resembled to a beautiful Robe*, Isa. 61.10. He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness. Hierom interprets it of Christ: His righteousness is a lovely Robe; no Robe of gold, or Ermine wherewith Kings are invested is so honourable as this: in this robe we shine as Angels in Gods eyes; The High-Priests glorious vestments*; Exod. 28.2. the Mitre, the Robe, ⟨p. 348⟩the Ephod of Gold, and the breastplate of precious stones, did all but serve to set out the beautiful garment of Christs righteousness wherewith a believer is adorned. Thus Christ appears lovely in these several resemblances, which can but faintly shadow out his beauty.
