There be many sights of Christ, all go not up to the mount, as Peter, James and John, all see not his face with 1Moses, all sleep not in his lap with John, all are not taken up into heaven like Paul, all embrace him not in their arms with Simeon. But as pleaseth God, so he showeth himself unto us, and all that love him, both see him and embrace him.
