Revelation4:3
Verſe 3. Like a Jasper and a Sardine] God is here reſembled (ſaith one) by three precious ſtones, holding forth the three perſons in Trinity. A Jaſper having (as they ſay) a white circle round about it, repreſenting the eternity of the Father. A Sardine-ſtone of a fleſhy colour repreſenting Jeſus Chriſt, who took our fleſh upon him. Cottons 7 viall, p. 5. out of Brigh[illegible: 1 letter]m An Emrald being of a green colour, refreſhing the eyes of them that look upon it, repreſenting the Spirit, who is (as the rain-bow) a token of fair weather, and is a comfortable refreſher, whereſoever he cometh.
