IT is the fashion of many men, at Christ-mass, especially to boast of their rich attire,* 1.1 great attendance, good fire, large cheer: yet (seeing Christ is heir of all things in the world) they cannot, in their own right, they cannot so much as
enjoy a Christ-mass log, or a Christ-mass pye, till they be first ingrafted in him: Here, upon the Earth, a man may have Evidences to shew that his Land is his own, his house, his horse, all is his own; and that he is a very thief that takes any of these from him. But all the Men in the world cannot give the least claim, title, or in∣terest to Heaven, cannot endow him with these temporal things before the living God, but his son Christ onely, who is heir of all; And therefore that our Land may be our own, our meat; our men, our money our own, let us be Christs, that in him we may have the good assurance of them all; so that in the end of all, that may be pronounced to us,* 1.2 which the Apostle did to the Corinthians, All are yours, ye Christ's, and Christ God's.
