Then the ointment\r\nbreathed on them its fragrance, and the work of sweet savour reaching\r\nto all was proclaimed; for the passion of the Lord has filled us with\r\nsweet fragrance, and the Hebrews with guilt. This the apostle most\r\nclearly showed, when he said, “Thanks be to God, who always makes us\r\nto triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge\r\nby us in every place. For we are to God a sweet savour of the Lord,\r\nin them that<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_232\">[232]</span> are saved, and them that are lost; to one a savour of\r\ndeath unto death, to the other a savour of life unto life.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_548\" id=\"FNanchor_548\">[548]</a> And\r\nthe kings of the Jews using gold and precious stones and a variegated\r\ncrown, the anointed ones wearing Christ symbolically on the head, were\r\nunconsciously adorned with the head of the Lord. The precious stone, or\r\npearl, or emerald, point out the Word Himself. The gold, again, is the\r\nincorruptible Word, who admits not the poison of corruption. The Magi,\r\naccordingly, brought to Him on His birth, gold, the symbol of royalty.\r\nAnd this crown, after the image of the Lord, fades not as a flower.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER VIII.
