Chapter 31.—The First Rule of
Tichonius.
44. The first is about the
Lord and His body, and it is this, that, knowing as we do that
the head and the body—that is, Christ and His Church—are
sometimes indicated to us under one person (for it is not in vain
that it is said to believers, “Ye then are Abraham’s seed,”1898
when there
is but one seed of Abraham, and that is Christ), we need not be in
a difficulty when a transition is made from the head to the body or
from the body to the head, and yet no change made in the person
spoken of. For a single person is represented as saying, “He
hath decked me as a bridegroom with ornaments, and adorned me as a
bride with jewels”1899
| 1899 Isa. lxi.
10 (LXX.). “As a bridegroom decketh himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with jewels”
(A.V.). | and yet it is, of course, a matter
for
interpretation which of these two refers to the head and
which to the body, that is, which to Christ and which to the
Church.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
