And he turned him to his Disciples and said Blessed are the eyes which see that ye see 24. For I saie vnto you many Prophets kings would haue seen the things that ye see and haue not seene them and haue heard the things that yee heare and haue not heard them OUR Sauiour Christ before he began to declare and set forth the will of his Father before hee began to preach abroad the high mysteries of our redemption the glad tidings of mans saluation sent abroad into the world a many of Disciples to the number of thrée score and ten to the end that they should espie out and sée the stay of the people how they would accept his Doctrine and first to giue them this warning and say Paenitentiam agite appropinquat enim regnum caelorum Repent your selues for the Kingdome of Heauen is at hand These Disciples of Christ after they had in all points accomplished their masters commission and fulfilled his commandement returned againe vnto Christ and shewed him the maruailes that they had wrought in his name reioycing much therat and especially for that Deuils departed from men possessed and were driuen out by them The verie Deuils said they are subdued vnto vs in thy name But when Christ heard them thus say and perceiued that they reioyced there at he turned to his Disciples hee pulled them from this vaine fancie and said I saw Sathan fall downe from heauen as lightning Behold I haue giuen you power to tread vpon Serpents to go ouer Scorpions ouer all venemous and noysome beasts they shal be subiect obedient vnto you they shal not hurt you But reioyce not in this reioyce not that you shall haue power ouer Serpents that you shall be able to tread vpon Scorpions and all other venemous beasts be nothing therwith annoyed but reioyce you in this that your names are written in the booke of life Put away said Christ this vaine-glory that your haue conceiued this fond fancie wherein ye reioyce and reioyce yée only in this that your names are written in heauen and that you know God and his son whom he hath sent into the world For no man knoweth the Son but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father saue the Son he to whom the Son will open it This is your felicitie this is your ioy no man but you hath this great ioy felicitie And therfore blessed are the eyes which sée that ye sée This heauenly felicity this marueilous blisse that Christ in this place spake of to his Disciples was prophesied and long time before spoken of euen at the first beginning of the world for at what time Adam had transgressed Gods commaundement and so fallen from the ioyes of Paradise God himselfe to put Adam in some comfort againe prouounced these words against the wicked Serpent that had wrought him that woe and said Ipsum conteret caput tuum The seed of the woman shall tread downe thy head he he it is that shal breake downe and destroy the power of the deuill said God vnto Adam This promise I say euen at the beginning of the world was made by God vnto Adam and so continued to the time of Christ for afterward this same promise declared God likewise to many a good and godly man Hee said vnto Abraham In s●mine tuo benedicentur omnes fiues terrae In thy seed said God in that seed of thine shall all the Nations of the earth be blessed To Dauid also God declared likewise this promise and said De semine tuo ponam super soliū tuū Of the truit of thy body shal I set vpon thy seat And so in the time of Esay his prophet god continued this promise and said Ecce virgo concipiet pariet filium cuius nomen erit Emanuel behold a virgine shall conceiue
