a candlestick all of gold] It seems he would shew the mysticall meaning of Moses his candlestick, Exodus 25:31. to the description of the making whereof, here are some parts added, belonging to the mysterie. The candlestick is the Church: The bowl above it is Christ, who hath received of the Father the fulnesse of the Spirit, signified by the oyle, to powre it upon his Church, John 1:16. &John 3:34. Acts 2:33. And as the oyle is pressed out of the olive, which is, as it were, the lively spring of it: so all these gifts and graces proceed from that, that Christ hath been anointed, and consecrated for an everlasting King and Priest. The seven lamps are the severall operations of the Spirit in the faithfull, all in fervencie of life and motion, and in light of faith and understanding: whose chiefe use is, to carry the lamp of Gods word in the world, and to cause his glory to shine therein, Matth. 5. 15, 16. Phil. 2. 15. The seven pipes are the severall means of the communication of the spirituall, and mysticall power of Christ, to his members, Ephesians 4:16. with a bowl] Heb. with her bowl. seven pipes to the seven lamps] Heb. seven and seven. Or, seven severall pipes to the lamps, &c. Or, each lamp had seven pipes. Which you must imagine to be in the bottome of the bowl, to distribute the oyle to each lamp.
