a blasphemie worthie the tearing of garments Thus they sometimes make Saints mediators of redemption sometimes they denie it and so contradict both themselves the Apostle here affirming that our mediator is one As hereby hesignifieth that the mediator is one only not manie so likewise that hee is immutable and unchangeable one and the same yesterday to day and for ever So saith the author of the booke of Wisedome speaking of this Mediator that uncreated Wisedome Being one she can doe all things And the Apostle Heb. 1.12 applyeth that place of the Psalme to him Thou art the same and thy yeares shall not fayle He is one and the same objectivé subjectivé effectivé Objectivé the same in his word for he who yesterday was shadowed in the Law is to day shewed in the Gospell Idem subjectivé the same in his person and in his attributes and office in his person the same before and after his Incarnation for taking upon him our nature he was no more changed thereby than a man is by putting on a vesture Homo quippe Deo accessit non Deus á se recessit home factus naturam suscipiende nostram non amittende suam as the divine Poet verie sweetly Ille manet quod semper erat quod non erat esse incipiens He did not leave off to be what he was but he begun to be what he was not Againe he is the same in his attributes in his power in his office being alwayes the Lord of his people the shepheard of his flocke the head of his Church the mediator betweene God and man Finally he is idem effectivé the same in his workes in his goodnesse in his grace he who yesterday was a mediator for Abraham Izaac and Iacob is to day a mediator for us he is as well now the light of the Gentiles as he was before the glory of his people Israell Last of all by this that he is one is signified that he is without all respect of persons one and alike to all not the mediator of the Iewes onely but of the Gentiles also There is neyther Iew nor Greeke there is neyther bond nor free there is neither male nor female for all are one in Christ. Gal. 3.28 He is peace to him that is neere and peace to him that is farre off Esa 57.19 that is as the Fathers expound it peace to the Iewes that are neere and peace to the Gentiles that are farre off This one blessed peace-maker hath made attonement for both and appeareth daily in the sight of God to pleade our pardon as a faithfull Advocate and high Priest S. Augustine saith that his armes were stretched out upon the crosse to signifie this That hee was now to embrace not an handfull of people as he did before the nation of the Iewes but as manie as his armes were able to containe that now hee was to breake downe that partition wall which for a long time had bene between Iewes and Gentiles and become one to all There is one Mediator But as yet we know not who is this one Mediator therefore lest the Iewes should say that it were their long looked for Messias or the Turkes their Mahomet or the Friers that it were S. Francis or S. Dominick or finally all Papists who construe it of the Virgin Mary for there is more mention of her in their prayers than of Christ and the propheticall Psalmes of Christ are transferred unto Mary and what else is magnifically spoken of him in Scripture even the first promise that was made of this Mediator Gen. 3.15 translated as spoken of her in their most approved Bible ipsa conteret caput tuum although as their owne Iesuite Ribera confesseth the Hebrew text the Chaldee paraphrase the Septuagints translation and all good Latine copies reade ipse conteret For this cause the Apostle in the fift place leades us as it were by the hand to the verie person describing him by his proper name and surname Iesus Christ he is this one Mediator who therefore is called the Angell of the Covenant Mal. 3.1 and the covenant of the people Esa 49.8 the Mediator of the new covenant vvhose blood speaketh better things then the blood of Abel Heb. 12.24 Our peace Eph. ● 14 The way and the doore by which we have accesse unto the Father Ioh. 14.6 The way into the holiest of all Heb. 9.8 finally an high Priest who came by a more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands and who not by the blood of Goats and Calves but by his owne blood entred in once into the holy place having obtayned eternall redemption for us Heb. 9.11 I come to the last head that Christ Iesus is a man The man Christ Iesus Homo verus but not homo merus he is a true man as having 1. the substance of a true body and soule 2. the essentiall and naturall properties of soule and bodie 3. the infirmities also and such defects as be naturall I say such as be naturall to exclude two sorts of infirmities 1. these which doe not universally follow the nature of man but are onely personall appertayning to some particular men and arising from private causes particular iudgements as to be borne a foole to be sicke of an ague consumption leprosie and such like diseases 2. Sinnes which be infirmities indeed but not naturall but rather contrarie to nature because they belong not to nature as it is whole but as it is corrupt Neither of these Christ tooke upon him because it behoved him to be like man in generall not like to this or that man in particular againe like unto man in generall in all things except sinne Heb. 4.15 It behoved Christ to be like unto us a man as we are whether we consider him as he was our Suertie or as our high Priest or as our Ransome or as our Redeemer or as our Mediator or finally as he is our Physitian In all these respects it behoved him to be a man 1. Because he was our Suertie to make satisfaction to God for our debt and the iustice of God requires that satisfaction be made in the same nature that finned 2. Because our high Priest For every high Priest is ordeyned to offer gifts and sacrifices wherefore it is of necessity that this man also have somewhat to offer Heb. 8.3 now if he had remained God only he should not have had anie thing to offer 3. Because our Ransome for as hee was the high Priest so he was the sacrifice he must offer up himselfe for us He was our suertie to satisfie for us and his satisfaction behoved to be passive and penall yea it must extend it selfe unto death for without shedding of blood there is no remission Heb. 9.22 but remayning God onely hee could not have dyed 4.
