to Babilon robbed of all thy riches and the virgin Sion mourne to see her sonnes or Eunuches in the pallace of the King of Babell If wee preach peace and they will not receiue peace wee may shake the dust of that place from our feete and bee gone that dust shall iudge dust in the great day Into the citie of Samaria enter ye not they looked for no redemption and therefore the secret therof might not be reueled vnto thē according to that Secreta domini timētibus eū the secret of the Lord is reuealed to them that feare him If any shall say beeing suncke in sinne wee are no worse then dogs and yet dogs may eate of the crums that fall from their masters table I answere true indeed if you rise out of sin be no such dogs as bite and barke at our deuotions but come in all humility and as the Chananite did sue and seeke in true faith and feeling the crūmes of mercy that fal frō your masters table then come and taste with Anna how sweete the Lord is then come speake of him with Anna to all that looke for redemption in Ierusalem And when they had performed all these things according to the Law of the Lord they returned into Galilie to their owne city Nazareth Although this scripture say nothing of Anna whose story hitherto we haue followed for the better manifesting of Christ in the flesh yet it is necessary to be annexed further to make plaine the history of Christ his incarnation by speciall growth in body and strength in spirit with al complements of wisedome fauour and grace both with God and man Wherein I pray you would obserue three things all clearing the truth of the incarnation and prouing our Christ to be perfect man against Ebion Carpocr●s Cerinthus and such like who dire the deity in denying some the humanity some the diuinity I say this is cleared in this place by a threefold subiection whereunto the Lord would yeeld himselfe as the Son of man but neuer as the Son of God The first is his subiection to the Law out of these words when they had performed all things according to the Lawe The second was his subiection to persecution which I may terme a iudgement of the Lawe in these words they returned into Galilie to their owne citty Nazareth The third and last is his subiection to increase and growth in body and strength in spirit by little and little infallible proofes of his humanity and no waye applyant to the diuinity out of these words And the child grew and waxed strong c. Christ was subiect and vnder the Lawe 1. Morall 2. Ceremoniall 3. Iudiciall According to that When the fulnesse of time was come God sent foorth his sonne made of a woman and vnder the Law that he might redeeme them which were vnder the Lawe that we might receiue the adoption of sonnes He was subiect to the Lawe Moral when he said Math. 5.17 Thinke not that I came to destroy the Lawe or the Prophets I am not come to destroy them but to fulfill them He was subiect to the Lawe Ceremonial when he was circumcised and presented in the Temple c all ended when the vaile of the Temple rent asunder from the toppe to the bottome which Temple after was ruinated body and all Nepopulus rediret ad Iudaismum He was subiect to the Lawe Iudicial when he endured his painfull passion and vpon the Crosse was cursed for vs all according to that Gal. 3.13 Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe when he was accursed for vs for it is written cursed is euery one that hangeth on a tree He performed all that he might make an end of all so as no lawe might rise vp in iudgement against vs. When Christ was transfigured vpon the holy mount it is sayde that Moses and Elias talked with him and told of his departure which he should suffer at Ierusalem Luk. 9.30.31 To teache you no other then that ye are here taught to wit that Christ is the end and accomplishment both of the Lawe and Prophets whereof Moses and Elias are chiefe for whereat points the Law but at a bloudy sacrifice whereon stand the Prophets but vpon the Messias sent and slaine and what is their communication with Christ but of his departure which he should accomplish at Ierusalem So then the Lawe and the Prophets do accompany Christ and Christ in person doth accomplish them Christ not Moses not Elias nor one of the Prophets and yet Christ with Moses with Elias and with all the Prophets they to find out his lyne he to finish their course And all this sprung from the endlesse fountaine of his loue which loue I may say with the blessed Apostle is the fulfilling of the Law Rom. 13.10 or end if ye wil for so saith the same Apostle The end of the commandement is loue out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith vn●aigned which holy loue streamed with his bloud when it issued from all his veines to redeeme vs from this killing lawe Where by double right and authority he hath conquered First as the sonne of God Lord of the law Secondly as the sonne of man in our person which is as much as if wee had ouercome the lawe our selues for his victory is ours All the iurisdiction of the lawe was executed vpon Christ. First it accused him as a blasphemer and a seditious person Secondly it made him guilty before God of the sinnes of the whole world Thirdly it so terrified and oppressed him with heauinesse and anguish of spirit that his sweate was like drops of bloud trickling downe to the ground Luke 2● 44 And lastly it condemned him to death euen to the death of the crosse a maruellous combate where the law a creature giueth such an assault to his creator and against all right practiseth his whole tyranny vpon the sonne of God and he most innocent But to proceed it may seeme by the text that the Euangelist doth more specially ayme at some performance of the law done by Ioseph and Mary in that it is sayd When they had performed all those things c. True it is this their performāce may be a president to vs whereon to looke in all our deuotions First that we leaue nothing vndone which the Lord hath commanded by his law Secondly that wee performe nothing of our owne deuising but as it is enioyned vs by the eternall law of the eternall God The Babe was crucified Mary was purified and the childe presented according to the law they performed al left out nothing they did it according to no deuice of their owne but as the line and leuell of the same lawe ledde them And here two sorts of people are sweetly taught if not iustly taxed by the spirit of God of intollerable impiety First such as thinke they please
