and learned of that Countrey and especially dislyked by them that were in gouernm●nt as a dangerous and troublesome man to the state One that had neyther freendes in the worlde to beare hym out nor a house to put hys head in And yet notwithstanding all thys that worldly men and women and some such also as were great sinners loose lyuers before should leaue all their worldly hope stay and condition to follow such a man with so great inconueniences losses dangers● disfauours as they did and should continue with him in all his afflictions and be content to die loose their lyues rather then forsake him or abandon his seruice thys I say is such a miracle as neuer in the world fel out the like must needes be graunted by the enemie to be supernaturall The miraculous facts of Iesus THE second poynt is of externall things and facts done by Iesus aboue all power of humane abilitie in the sight and knowledge of all the Iewes which facts were published by our Euangelists and especially by S. Matthew in the Hebrue tongue while yet the persons were aliue vpon whō they were wrought or infinite other that might be witnesses thereof As for example the raysing of Lazarus in Bethania that was a Village but a myle or two distant from Ierusalem at vvhose death and buriall beeing a Gentleman many Scribes and Pharisies must needes be present according to the Iewish custome at that tyme as is reported by Iosephus and they saw him both deceas●ed interred the funerall feast obserued for hym as also raised againe from death by Iesus after four dayes of his buriall With whom they did both eate and drink and conuerse after his returne to lyfe and euery day might behold him walking vp and downe openlie in the streetes of Ierusalem Thys storie I say how could it be feigned So in like manner the raysing of the Archisinagogues Daughter whose name is affirmed to be Iai●us with dyuers other circumstances that doe make the thing most notorious The raysing of the widdowes sonne before the gate of the Cittie Naim in the presence of all the people that bare the sayde corpes and stoode about it The healing of the Cripple in Ierusalem that had lyen thirty and eyght yeeres lame at the Pooles side or Bath called Probati●a which miracle was done also in ●he sight of infinite people The ca●ting out of a Legion of deuils from ● man that for many yeres together was known to lyue possessed in the Mountaines which deuils by peculiar lycence obtained of Iesus to enter into a heard of swyne so presently carried two thousand of them away into the sea drowned thē Whereupon the whole Country about of the people called Gerasines beeing striken with extreame feare vpon sight of the fact besought Iesus most humbly to depart ●rom their borders The feeding filling of fiue thousand men besides women and chyldren wyth fiue Barley loues and two fishes only The turning of water into wine at a marriage at Cana in the presence of all the Guestes The healing of him by a word only that had an incurable dropsie and thys at the Table of a principall Pharisie and in the sight of all that sate at dynner with hym Thys I say diuers other such myracles which were doone in the presence and sight of so infinite a number of people and recorded by our Euangelists at such times when many desired to discredite the same● and might haue done easily by many witnesses and authorities if any one part thereof had beene subiec● to calumniation cannot in reason or probability be doubted of And there●ore I must conclude that seeing these things are aboue al power of humane nature and coulde not be done but by the finger and vertue of the liuing God himselfe considering also that it is impossible that God should assist or gyue testimonie vnto any falsehoode it must needes ensue that all was true and sincere which Iesus affirmed and consequently seeing he affirmed himsel●e to be the sonne of God and the true and onely Messias it must needes folow by these miracles that he was so indeede which is the ground of that speech of hys to the faithlesse Pharisies If you will not beleeue my words beleeue my deedes And thus much of Iesus lyfe doctrine conuersation miracles The fourth Consideration THere remaineth now onely the fourth and last consideration of thys Section which is the passion resurrection and ascention of Iesus And about hys passion there is little or no controuersie for that all hys enemies doe agree and graunt that he was betrayed by hys owne Disciple apprehended afflicted and deliuer●d vp by the Iewes and finallie put to death vppon a Crosse by the Gentiles The testimony of Iosephus may serue for all herein whose wordes are these That the principall Iewes of his Countrey hauing accused and deliuered ouer Iesus to Pilate that was Gouernour of Iurie for the Romaine Emperor he adiudged him to the Crosse. The same doe other Iewes and Gentiles record and in thys they take great offence scandale that we should attribute diuinitie vnto a man that had suffered death vpon the Crosse. But if we shew that this was the eternall preordination and appointment of GOD for sauing of mankinde and that the same was foretold both to Iew and Gentile from the beginning and so vnderstoode also by the Iewish Doctors themselues of elder times then euery reasonable man I trow will remaine satisfied and preferre Gods diuine wisedome before mans follie Christes ascending to Ierusalem to receiue his passion FIrst then consider that when Christ had ended his preaching and wrought so many miracles as seemed sufficient to hys eternal wisdome and when the time was come preordained for his passion wherof he told publiquely his Disciples before hee went vp to Ierusalem of purpose to receiue hys death and made a solemne entry into that Cittie vpon an Asse which was prophecied of him many yeeres before Reioyce daughter of Sion Behold thy IVST KING and SAVIOVR shall come vnto thee vpon an Asse And after hys abode some dayes in that place hee was betrayed and sold by his owne Disciple as Dauid before hande in many places had fore-told shold come to passe Then folowed his apprehension most seruile abusage by the Iewes wherof it was fore-prophecied in his person by Esay I gaue my body to thē that beate it and my cheekes to them that buffeted the same I did not turne my selfe away from them that reproched me nor yet from them that dyd spet in my face The barbarus abusage of Iesus foretolde by prophecie AFter thys barbarous intreatie by the Iewes they deliuered hym ouer to Pilate a Gentile neuer ceased to solicite and pursue theyr vnquenchable hatred against him vntill they saw him on y e Crosse where also he was vsed in the highest
