Twelve names of the Son of God are recounted, being
distributed into three classes. These names are so many proofs of
the eternity not only of the Son, but of the Father also.
Furthermore, they are compared with the twelve stones in the High
Priest’s breastplate, and their inseparability is shown by a new
distribution of them. Returning to the comparison with the High
Priest’s breastplate, the writer sets forth the beauty of the
woven-work and the precious stones of the mystic raiment, and the
hidden meaning of that division into woven-work and precious stones,
which being done, he expounds the comparison drawn by him, showing that
faith must be woven in with works, and adds a short summary of the same
faith, as concerning the Son.
