This figure the Apostle and Evangelist S. John expoundeth: And first in deed the Gospel being set forth, he describeth Christ in vile apparel, how much contradiction being taken he suffered of the wicked, till at the length he was nailed to the cross. He toucheth there also his glory: Which notwithstanding, the Apocalypse thereto annexed, he declareth more at large, showing the same unto us in a white garment and in glory, how verily after this humbling being exalting, he obtained a name above all names: And now being in glory, how he worketh nevertheless in the church, the saviour of all the faithful in the church. In his Epistle he commendeth this whole mystery of piety and ⟨p. 10⟩beateth in to all men.
