s._n matthew_n instruct_v joseph_n say_v mary_n shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o thou_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n jesus_n for_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n so_o then_o this_o son_n of_o god_n jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n who_o forgive_v sin_n and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o all_o the_o power_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o devil_n which_o very_o he_o can_v not_o do_v unless_o he_o be_v very_o god_n he_o be_v also_o call_v christ_n which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o you_o say_v anoint_v the_o jew_n call_v he_o messiah_n which_o word_n be_v a_o title_n proper_a to_o a_o kingdom_n or_o priesthood_n for_o they_o of_o old_a be_v wont_a to_o anoint_v their_o king_n &_o priest_n they_o be_v anoint_v with_o external_a or_o figurative_a ointment_n or_o oil_n but_o very_o christ_n be_v anoint_v with_o the_o very_a true_a ointment_n that_o be_v with_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o first_o &_o three_o chapter_n after_o s._n john_n most_o proper_o therefore_o be_v this_o name_n christ_n attribute_v to_o our_o lord_n for_o first_o he_o be_v both_o king_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v pour_v full_o by_o all_o mean_n and_o abundant_o into_o jesus_n from_o who_o as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o lively_a fountain_n it_o flow_v into_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o be_v that_o aaron_n upon_o who_o head_n the_o oil_n be_v pour_v which_o run_v down_o to_o his_o beard_n and_o the_o nethermost_a skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n for_o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o have_v all_o receive_v the_o last_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v note_v now_o in_o this_o second_o article_n be_v the_o we_o call_v the_o lord_n son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n the_o son_n of_o god_n very_o be_v for_o two_o cause_n proper_o call_v our_o lord_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o the_o elect_v who_o he_o have_v deliver_v from_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o satan_n sin_n and_o death_n and_o have_v make_v they_o a_o people_n of_o his_o own_o get_n for_o himself_o this_o similitude_n be_v take_v of_o lord_n which_o with_o their_o money_n buy_v slave_n for_o their_o use_n or_o else_o which_o in_o war_n reserve_v captive_n who_o they_o may_v have_v slay_v or_o which_o deliver_v man_n condemn_v from_o present_a death_n so_o then_o by_o this_o lords_z be_v as_o it_o be_v deliverer_n redéemer_n or_o saviour_n hereunto_o very_o allude_v paul_n where_o he_o say_v you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n become_v not_o therefore_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n and_o s._n peter_n say_v you_o be_v redeem_v not_o with_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o unspotted_a lamb_n moreover_o christ_n be_v call_v lord_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o divine_a power_n and_o nature_n by_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o for_o because_o this_o word_n lord_n be_v of_o a_o very_a ample_a signification_n as_o that_o which_o contain_v both_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o maiestly_a we_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o write_n use_v it_o very_o willing_o paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v although_o there_o be_v many_o lord_n yet_o have_v we_o but_o one_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v &_o we_o by_o he_o now_o the_o three_o article_n of_o christian_a b●lie●_n faith_n be_v this_o which_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n in_o the_o second_o article_n we_o have_v confess_v that_o we_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n wherein_o we_o have_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o shadow_n confess_v that_o we_o believe_v assure_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v for_o we_o &_o our_o salvation_n give_v to_o the_o world_n his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n for_o hitherto_o belong_v those_o name_n jesus_n and_o lord._n now_o therefore_o in_o this_o third_o article_n i_o have_v to_o declare_v the_o manner_n and_o order_n how_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_n by_o incarnation_n this_o article_n contain_v two_o thing_n the_o conception_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o nativity_n of_o both_o which_o i_o will_v orderly_a speak_v after_o that_o i_o have_v brief_o declare_v unto_o you_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o lord_n his_o incarnation_n man_n be_v in_o a_o miserable_a take_n incarnation_n and_o all_o mankind_n shall_v utter_o have_v perish_v for_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v all_o draw_v from_o the_o first_o man_n adam_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o that_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o hell_n can_v not_o enter_v into_o heaven_n unless_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v descend_v unto_o we_o and_o become_v god_n with_o we_o immanuel_n have_v with_o himself_o draw_v we_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o his_o incarnation_n be_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n and_o by_o intercession_n to_o join_v or_o bring_v into_o one_o they_o that_o be_v sever_v for_o where_o a_o mediator_n mediator_n be_v there_o also_o must_v needs_o be_v discord_n and_o party_n the_o party_n be_v god_n and_o man_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o discord_n be_v sin_n now_o the_o office_n of_o the_o mediator_n be_v to_o bring_v to_o agreement_n the_o party_n disagree_v which_o very_o can_v be_v do_v unless_o that_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o variance_n be_v take_v clean_o away_o but_o sin_n be_v neither_o cleanse_v nor_o take_v away_o except_o that_o blood_n be_v shed_v and_o death_n do_v follow_v this_o witness_v paul_n in_o his_o 9_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o mediator_n ought_v therefore_o to_o take_v on_o he_o our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o he_o may_v both_o die_v &_o shed_v his_o blood_n furthermore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o this_o advocate_n or_o mediator_n be_v indifferent_o common_a to_o both_o the_o party_n who_o he_o have_v to_o reconcile_v wherefore_o our_o lord_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n if_o he_o have_v be_v god_n alone_o then_o shall_v he_o have_v be_v terrible_a to_o man_n and_o have_v stand_v they_o in_o little_a steed_n if_o he_o have_v be_v mere_a man_n than_o can_v he_o not_o have_v have_v access_n to_o god_n which_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n wherefore_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v a_o fit_a mediator_n for_o both_o the_o party_n which_o thing_n the_o apostle_n witness_v say_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n of_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o the_o price_n of_o redemption_n for_o all_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o 2_o and_o 9_o cap._n to_o the_o hebrew_n speak_v many_o thing_n belong_v to_o this_o place_n and_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n rehearse_v a_o other_o cause_n of_o christ_n his_o incarnation_n he_o say_v it_o become_v he_o in_o allthing_n to_o be_v make_v likeunto_o his_o brother_n that_o he_o may_v be_v merciful_a and_o a_o faithful_a high_a priest_n in_o thing_n concern_v god_n for_o to_o purge_v the_o people_n sin_n for_o in_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v tempt_v he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v they_o that_o be_v tempt_v an_o other_o cause_n wherefore_o our_o lord_n be_v incarnate_a be_v that_o he_o may_v instruct_v we_o man_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o righteousness_n &_o final_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o ensample_n of_o holy_a life_n for_o paul_n say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n have_v appear_v unto_o we_o teach_v we_o to_o renounce_v ungodliness_n and_o to_o live_v holy_o to_o conclude_v he_o therefore_o become_v one_o with_o we_o by_o the_o participation_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o please_v he_o to_o be_v incarnate_a for_o this_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v join_v we_o again_o to_o god_n who_o for_o sin_n be_v separate_v from_o god_n &_o receive_v we_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o himself_o and_o all_o other_o his_o goodness_n beside_o the_o next_o be_v for_o we_o to_o declare_v the_o conception_n manner_n of_o his_o incarnation_n this_o article_n of_o faith_n stand_v on_o two_o member_n the_o first_o be_v he_o

why_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v he_o judge_v or_o punish_v they_o as_o transgressor_n since_o they_o by_o sin_v fulfil_v his_o will_n to_o this_o place_n also_o do_v belong_v that_o testimony_n of_o

the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n

disloyal_o fall_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o sin_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n testify_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o falsehood_n and_o of_o all_o
