THIS is the Woman wh•m the Blessed Lord Jesus Christ becomes, A Sun of Righteousness unto. 'Tis said in Mal. 4 2 Unto you that Fear my Name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise. We find among the Representations of the Church, A Woman clothed wi•• ⟨p. 37⟩the Sun. Thus do you now see this Woman clothed! And as by Vaion she is got into the Lord Jesus Christ, who like the Sun is the Centre of the World, and who like the Sun gives Life and warmth, and growth, unto her Soul, so she is by him Clothed with all that Righteousness which Delivers from Death. She not only has an Inherent Righteousness, from the Lord Jesus Christ; or a principle disposing her to render both unto God and Man their D•es; but she also has the Imputed Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and being by the Grace of God allowed an Interest in the perfect Obedience of her Lord, she now stands as without Fault before the Throne of God. Well may she be a Praised Woman, who shall be such a Righteous one. We say, The Wife shines with the Husbands Rays. Behold here a Woman, whose Husband is, The S•n of Righteousness.
