[ 1927] Riches of Christ, inexhaustible.
IT is said of a Spanish Ambassador,* 1.1 that coming to see that so much cryed up Treasury of S. Mark in Venice, fell a groping at the bottom of the Chests and Trunks, to see, Whether they had any bottom; And being asked the reason, Why he did so? answered, In this among other things my Masters trea∣sure differs from yours,* 1.2 in that his hath no bottom, as I find yours to ha••e; alluding to the Mines in Mexico, Peru, and other parts of the Western India: So it may be said, and Scripture, History, and Experience, do abundantly testifie, That Mens Baggs, Purses, Coffers, and Mints may be exhausted and drawn dry; but the Riches that are to be found in Christ Iesus have no bottom,* 1.3 all his baggs are bottomlesse; Millions of thousands feed upon him, and he feels it not; he is ever giving, yet his purse is never empty; alwayes bestowing himself, yet never wan∣ting to any that faithfully seek him.
