In the text following Christ is described most plentifully, many things are ascribed unto him: And is declared in what sort Christ is in the mids of the church. And first indeed is showed, what garment he hath on: To wit both priestly & princely. By the which thing is figured, what manner of one Christ is in heaven & in earth: To wit bishop and king, intercessor, mediator, & sacrifice, a most perfect sanctification & justification, a redeemer and deliverer of the faithful to his father, evermore working the salvation of his faithful. As S. Paul teacheth, Roma. 8. Hebr. 7. Poderes1 is found amongst the apparel of Aaron, and it is a priestly garment. Whereof S. Hierome writeth to Fabiola, of the priestly garment. The second vesture of linen is a coat down to the foot, of double land: Which Josephus calleth Bissina. And it is called in Hebrew ketheneth, in Greek, [Greek or Hebrew]. This cleaveth just to the body, and is so narrow and strait sleeved, that there is no wrinkle at all in the garment, and came down to the legs. This was verily white and clean.2 For the Lord Christ is an undefiled Priest. Hebr. 7. Neither weareth he again a foul vesture, as he did. Zachar. 3. Nor a purple, as in the .19. of John. But a bright one, as he that hath obtained a name above all names. But his girdle or belt is worn of Soldiers and triumphant persons: And it signifieth in Christ the dignity royal. For Christ is king, deliverer and redeemer of the faithful. His victory is ours. He hath overcome Satan, Hell, sin and death.
