my mouth shal speak the truth But at this time condescending to our weaknesse made bone of your bones speaketh vnto you mouth to mouth And therefore the Lord breaking through the thicke cloude of all these precedent witnesses spake thus vnto vs And who will not giue heede vnto this voice Heare it Heare him The Lorde then will haue his sonne harkened vnto Iesus our Lord his well beloued sonne harkened vnto as being the teacher of saluation but farther let vs see by whom It is said that hee had taken apart Peter Iohn Iames the cheefest among the Apostles for to make them partake of that vision and by a cōsequent of this lesson in their persons so much the more all the rest Gal. 2.9 Iames Cephas and Iohn saith S. Paul counted among the pillers of the Church Taking thē for afoundatiō of their doctrine this lesson this word Iames Iohn those whome Christ himselft hath honoured with the name of Sennes of thunder not being able to make a sound nor to thunder but according to the voice which hee giueth vnto thē Peter himselfe on whose confession he built his Church what greater honour could he receiue bound by his Apostleship to heare him to heare him for to teach it vnto others and not any thing of his owne Otherwise being subiect to this Anathema pronounced by God Whosoever will not harken vnto my wordes Deut. v. 19. which hee shall speake in my name I will require it of him And to harken is to obey for an Apostle and minister of the Gospell it is to cause others to obey An Anathema which hath since been doubled and expounded by S. Paul euen in the cause of S. Peter Gal. 1. 9. Though that we or an Angell from heaven preach vnto you otherwise then that which we hauepreached vnto you let him be accursed Anathema And indeed when the heauē hath spokē God through the heauen all the Angels of heauen what haue they to gainsay Yea what can they say Tou ching Gods matters to speake after God after the son of God which was sent and came down expresly to declare them vnto vs Who can doe this but the king of pride and the Angels of darknesse transformed into Angels of light You wil say then let vs heare him but are you of opinion that wee ought to heare him alone Yea truly alone For it is not without a mystery that it is noted by the Evangelist that as the voice was a speaking Iesus was left alone Moses and Elias beeing retired and giving him place how much more al other reachers all other men And if it be forbidden so expreslie vpon so high a paine to adde to or diminish from the law giuen by the ministery of Angels howe much the rather is it forbidden concerning the Gospell pronounced by the mouth of the Son of God light of light the word the everlasting wisdome of the Father whose doctrine cannot choose but bee perfect perpetual eternall Alone more over for who will be so presūptuous as to dare set hand to his workmanship and after him to teachvs any way of salvation to prescribe vs any rule thereof after him to disclos vnto vs any mistery of Religiō or any thing that might bee expedient for a heavenly life Lastly alone because there was but one Sonne whom it behoved to set an end to all the Law givers of Iuda one Prophet by excellēce poiuted out to Moses by whō God might reveale himselfe to the world opē vnto vs the depths of his iustice and of his mercie This Christ said the Samaritan woman Ioh 4.25 which when he is come will tell vs all things And therefore saith this voice from heaven vnto vs Hunc audite pointing him vnto vs as it were with a finger heare him Him alone whom so many former ages so many herald haue gon before haue continually by succession preached vnto you if that wee ought to haue learned the way of salvation from any other by what path so euer hee brought vs thereunto to what purpose then neede wee haue come vnto him vnto him alone without interruption ever since the beginning of the world if any one might put in never so smal an helping hand with him to what end then is it that the law and the Prophets doe aime at him alone that Moses Elias were swallowed vp in him vanished out of sight before him This furniture of glory this voice from heauen God in his owne person being present at this charge was al this for to tell vs some thing either common or communicable to another Heare him my well beloved sonne Him in whom I am well pleased but for this time only but without preiudice to them that shall come after but with a reseruatiō of other rules of well beleeuing and well doing which shall from time to time be taught vnto you but if the meaning had bin that they shoulde haue rested here was there any need of this solemne transfiguration of so maiestical a preface As therefore when S. Iohn saith vnto vs of Iesus Behold the Lambe of God we consider in this Lambe all the typicall and Sacramentall Lambes both ended and accomplished after this Lambe we do no longer settle our mindes and hopes vpon any other that can take away or beare the sinnes of the world In like manner and that farre more strictly when God here saith vnto vs heare him This Iesus this Christ this Emmanuel God with vs my well beloued long before promised at this day exhibited the teacher of saluation the author of life that by his death for vs. Let vs thinke that in this Teacher in this Lawgiuer al others are accomplished and take an end let no man presume so far as to bring his lampe into the Christian church if he haue not lighted it at the beames of this Sunne all humane inuentions and rules being set aside as before times all strange fire was farre from the Lords Tabernacle from his altar from the censer from the Priest on paine of being deuoured A strange conclusion will some man here say vnto vs prevēted by so many positiue laws by so many new examples so many good rules We will there fore let him heare the Fathers Tertullian Let vs then hear him Tertul. l. 3. advers Marcioné cap. 22. of whom God had from the beginning declared that he ought to be heard in the name of a Prophet because that for such an one hee was to bee esteemed among the people But was he alone so to be esteemed S. Cyprian Tertullians scholler and which verie likely had learned if from him saith That wee ought to heare Christ alone the father hath recorded it from heavē saying Cypr ad Cicil. de sacramēt Dom. calicis Ep. 63 in edit Pamelia na c. Heare him Wherfore if we ought to heare Christ alone then ought wee not to minde what an other shall thinke
