make him desp●cable to any For God oftentimes suffereth the godly not onely to be vexed and disquieted by the wicked as righteous Lot was by the citizens of Sodome but also even to bee destroyed and slaine as is plaine by the example of Abel who was cruelly murdered of Isa●… who was saw●n in peeces and of the saven brethren in the Machabees who together with their mother were miserably ●o●mented and put to death The very Iewes themselves sing the Se●…h Psalme wherein are these words The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to bee mea● unto the fowles of the heaven the flesh of thy Saints unto the beasts of the earth Their blood have they shed like water round about Ierusalem and there was none to 〈◊〉 them And whosoever considers the words of Isaiah in the 53. chapter cannot deny that the Messias himselfe ought to have passed thorow much aff●…ion and death to come into his Kingdome and obtain power to adorne his houshold or Church with excellent gifts The words in the Prophet are these Who hath beleeved our report and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed For he shal grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of the dry ground Hee hath no forme or comelinesse and when wee shall see him there is no beauty that wee should desire him He is despised and rejected of men a man of sorrowes and acquainted with griefes And we hide as it were our faces from him He was despised and wee esteemed him not Surely hee hath borne our griefes and carried our sorrowes yet wee did esteeme him striken s●…itten of God and afflicted But hee was wounded for our tr●…s hee was bruised for our ●●quities the ●hastifement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes wee are healed All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his owne way And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of ●…ll He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth He is brought as a lambe to the slaughter and as a sheeps before ●●●shearers is dumbe so he openeth not his mouth He● was taken from pris●… and from judgement and who shall declare his generation For he was out off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people he was striken and he made his gravwith the wicked and with the rich in his death because he had done no violence neither was any deceit in his mouth Yet i● hath pl●●sed the Lord to bruise him ●ee ●ath put him to griefe When thou 〈◊〉 make his soyle an offering for 〈◊〉 he shall see his seed he shall pr●… his dayes and the pleasure of ●e Lord shall prosper in his hand Her shall ●ee of the travell of his soyle and shall be satisfied by his knowledge shall my righteous servant iustifie many For hee shall beare their iniquities therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the 〈◊〉 with the strong because hee hath powred out his soule unto death And hee was numbred with the transgressors and he bare the sinne of many and made intercession for the transgressors Who is there either among the Kings or Prophets to whom these things can be applyed Surely none As touching that shift which some later Iewes have invented telling us that the Prophet speakes here of the Hebrewes dispersed thorow all nations that by his owne example and manner of speech hee might every where gaine the more Proselytes this sense first of all is repugnant to many testimonies of holy writ which say that no harme is befalne the Iewes which they by their evill deeds have not deserved and a great deale more Then againe the very forme of the Propheticall speech beares not that interpretation For either the Prophet which seemes more proper to that place or God saith This evill happened unto him for the iniquities of my people Now the people of Isaiah or the peculiar people of God are the people of the Hebrewes therefore hee who is said by Isaiah to have suffred for grievous things cannot be that people But the ancient Doctors of the Hebrewes more inge●iously confesse that these things were spoken of the Messias whereupon some later among them have fained two Messiases the one they call the sonne of Ioseph who was to suffer many miseries and a bloody death the other is the sonne of David to whom all things should succeed prosperously Howbeit better it were and more consonant with the writings of the Prophets to acknowledge but one Messias who was to passe unto his Kingdome through many difficulties and death it selfe which we beleeve of Iesus as the matter it selfe declares to be most true SECT XX. As though they were honest men that put him to death MAny of the Iewes are kept backe from the discipline and profession of Iesus by a certain preconceived opinion of the vertue and honesty of their ancestors and specially of the Priests who out of prejudice condemned Iesus and rejected his doctrine But concerning the quality of their Ancestors that they may see I doe them no wrong let them heare the words of their owne law and Prophets wherein they are often called uncircumcis●d in heart and eares a people that honoured God with their lips and with the garnish of ceremonies but their hearts were farre from him It was their Ancestors that went about and were very neare to have kild their brother Ioseph and in very deed sold him into bondage It was their ancestors that by their continuall mutinies and seditions made Moses weary of his life who was their leader and redeemer to whom the earth the sea and the A●…e obeyed These were they that loathed the bread that was sent from heaven complaining as though they had beene in greatest want and scarcity even when they belched up againe the fowle and food that they had eaten It was their Ancestors that forsaking David so excellent and good a King followed Absolon his rebellious sonne It was their Ancesters that slew Zachariah the sonne of ●eh●iada in the most holy place so making their Priest himselfe an oblation of their cruelty in the very Court of the house of the Lord.
