[ 1295] The abundant love of Christ in dying for our Sins.

IT is said of the Pellican,* 1.1 beholding her young ones to be slain by the Serpent, much thirsting after their bloud, she is so much grieved, that she beats her sides with her own wings in such a manner, that the blood issues abundantly, which be∣ing as yet warm, falleth upon the young ones so slain, and restoreth them to life a∣gain: Thus the soul of Man, being the true bird of Paradise (for there was her nest first built by God) having (as it were) her lively blood suck'd out by that old Serpent the Devill; Christ became that Heavenly Pelican, that with the wings of his Love and Mercy, shed out of his most precious side, his dearest heart-blood, to revive us that we might live for ever.
