not passe the number of 40. daies which fast both Moyses Elias did performe in times past least men should doubt of the veritie of his humanitie and hungring he shewed himselfe to be a man in truth and not onely in outward shew and appearance The death of Christ HE was nayled on the Crosse and suffered not for his sinnes but for our redēptiō For whē man through transgressiō had cast himselfe in debt and was not able of himselfe to paie the same Christ taking the nature of man as it were mony to paie the ransome did rule and guide it with so great wisedome and Iustice that hee satisfied the law and paying the debt did set man againe at libertie For this cause hee suffered death vpon the Crosse which was by the lawe accursed as also the nature of man because it had transgressed the lawe that by taking vpon him the curse which was common to all and suffering that most shamefull death vndeserued he might deliuer all men from their deserued condemnation for though hee was not subiect vnto the curse as being free from all sins yet was hee content to suffer death which was the punishment due vnto sinne The Resurrection of Christ WHen Christ had thus broken the bondes of Death and wrought the saluation of man he returned againe into heauen and by the raising and carrying of his owne bodie did giue as it were an earnest or assuraunce vnto all the godlie of their resurrection and ascention This misterie of Christs Natiuitie and death was purposed from euerlasting WHereas some curiously doo seeke to know the vnsearchable wisdome of God and demaund wherefore God did not worke this from the beginning but hath let it ouerslip so many thousand yeres they are to learne first that it is ouer great presumption and arrogancie in them too curiously to searche out those things which God hath hid and reserued vnto himselfe Secondly for the thing it was determined long since euen from the beginning but deferred vntill this time as most fit and conuenient to set out his great wisedome and loue towards man How God had a care of all men euen from the beginning IT doth manifestly appeare by the whole storie of the olde Testament that God in his Prouidence had alwayes a care of all men not onely of those which came of Abraham but of all the of spring of Adam For by this one people of Israel hee brought all Nations from their Idolatrie to the knowledge of the true God for in blessing their good life with prosperitie and great victories he did declare his goodnesse and as it were allure all men to imbrace their doctrine and againe in punishing their wickednes and suffering them to be led captiues into straunge and farre countries hee did both shewe his iustice and vsed them as meanes to preach and set out the glorie of God and the truth of their doctrine vnto all nations which if they had remained stil in their own country could not haue bene done so plentifully and effectually The preaching of the Gospell vnto the Gentiles WHē that great misterie of our redemptiō was fulfilled and the time was come that the incarnation of Christ ought to be published through the whole world then did God dispearse and scatter abroad the remnant of his people which of his great mercy hee had chosen from among all nations euen from the beginning into all the coastes of the earth that all they which were deceiued with the multitude of Gods might learne that there was but one God the Creator of heauen earth as also that the Gospel which was to be preached by the holie Apostles might haue the easier passage But how can the Iewes be said to further the Gospel which they did by all meanes withstand and hinder THeir incredulitie stubburnesse did so litle hinder the truth of the Gospell that it was an occasion of great confirmation thereof whilest those things which they denied were so substantially prooued by so many testimonies out of the lawe and Prophets that both their errors were vtterly confuted and the Gentiles were notably confirmed in the trueth of Christ whom they sawe by so many Prophets and so long ago to be foretold So that God may well be said in all ages to haue had a great care and Prouidence not onely of the Iewes but of all mankind euen from the beginning Deo gloria FINIS
