ossium saith Salomon Sweetnesse to the soule and health to the bones as Prov. 16.24 which makes the very lips gratious and the feet pretious of those that bring but the tidings of it saith the Propher Mel in ore melos in aure jubilum in corde As hony sweet unto the mouth as melody pleasant to the eare and a jubile triumph to the heart so that nil canitur suavius nil auditur jucundius nil cogitatur dulcius quàm Iesus Dei Filius saith an ancient Hymne of the Church there is nothing sun●●hat is so sweet nothing heard that so much delighteth nothing ●●●●ght on that is so pleasant as is this the name of Jesus the Son of the most high God And here I might take occasion to speake of the publike rejoycing of this time for the birth of this our Saviour Jesus and shew you as Leo saith how that non fas est locum esse tristitiae ubi natalis est vitae at the comming and birth of life there ought to be no mourning as in the dayes of death no man being secluded excluded from the partaking of the publike joy of this time but that the righteous ought to rejoyce quia appropinquat ad palmam because he drawes neere to the reward of his well doing and the sinner may rejoyce quia invitatur ad veniam because he is offered a pardon for his ill doing but I forbeare to proceed any farther in this way because it belongs rather to the Preacher than the Catechist thus to handle it onely before I end this point I am bold to invocate this our sweet Saviour that propter semetipsum erit nobis Jesus even for his owne names sake he will be pleased to save us from our sins by granting us so much faith and trust in him that wee may rely wholly upon him and none but him for the salvation of our poore and sinfull soules for if we should misse of him our blessed Saviour and Redeemer it were better for us a thousand wayes that wee were dogs or toads than men for death to them is the end of all their woe but the death of a man without a Saviour is but the beginning of all his misery and unhappinesse to endure for ever and ever and therefore let us still be sure to beleeve in Jesus And in Iesus Christ Where yee see that our Saviour our Deliverer our Mediator and Messias is not knowne altogether by the name of Jesus but sometimes also by the name of Christ and therefore Saint Matthew stiles his Booke The Booke of the Generation of JESUS CHRIST Matth. 1.1 And S. Paul saith that Jesus Christ is come into the world to save sinners 1 Tim. 1.15 And the Apostles here teach us to say I beleeve in Iesus Christ So that Jesus may be said to be his proper name and Christ his Nomen appellativum or Sir-name as Tertullian speakes or Jesus his name of Nature and Christ of person place or dignity as other Divines for as I have shewne before as his name Jesus signifies to save and deliver intimating his nature so his name Christ signifies Messias or Anointed intimating his Office which is to be anointed with the oyle of gladnesse above his Fellowes as the Psalmist speaketh And therefore Andrew said unto his brother Simon concerning him we have found the Messias which is by interpretation the Christ that is the Anointed one Ioh. 1.41 And the woman of Samaria said I know well that Messias shall come which is called Christ Ioh. 4.25 Now the reason of this name is because as the three great Officers of the world in former times viz. King Priest and Prophet were wont to be made by anointing so hee being to beare these three parts in his owne person for the benefit of his Church and chosen was likewise to be anointed by the Holy Ghost and indeed to be called o Christos the anointed as by way of excellencie above all that were anointed before him or should be ever after him Now if you desire proofes that these three Officers were consecrated and m●de by anointing attend to that which followes First Kings were s● m●de for so said God to Samuel when he had chosen David to be King Ari●e anoint him for this is he 1 Sam. 16.12 And so Salomon concerning whom his Father David said Let Zadock the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him their King over Israel and blow yee the trumpet and say God save King Salomon 1 King 1.34 And indeed the first King of all that Nation Saul himselfe was so ordained as it is said That Samuel tooke a violl of oyle and powred it upon his head and kissed him and said is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captaine over his inheritance 1 Sam. 10.1 Thus much for Kings Secondly Priests were also so made for God commanded Moses to consecrate Aaron to that Office saying Thou shalt take the anointing oyle and powre it upon his head and anoint him Exod. 29.7 And in the third Chapter about the 23. verse it is shewed how that anointing oyle should be made too even of principall and costly spices as is there to be scene And therefore David cals it the precious oyntment upon the head that ran downe upon the beard even Aarons beard and went downe to the skirts of his clothing Psal 133.2 Thirdly Prophets likewise and Elisha the son of Shaphat shalt thou anoint to be a Prophet in thy roome 1 Reg. 19.16 And therefore saith David Touch not mine anointed and doe my Prophets no harme Psal 105.15 So that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ being to become all these unto us and that after a more excellent manner hee is called the Christ or anointed as I said before For God even his owne God hath anointed him with the oyle of gladnesse above his fellowes saith David Psal 45.7 yea even above them for their offices lasted only during the time of this life and in some of them not so long but Christ is anointed to be an everlasting King Priest and Prophet over his Church even for ever and ever A King first to protect us so saith David I have set my King upon my holy hill of Sion Psal 2.6 for the Lord shall give him the Throne of his Father David and hee shall reigne over the house of Iacob for ever and of his Kingdome there shall be no end Luke 1.32 33. For all power is given unto mee both in heaven and in earth saith he himselfe Mat. 28.18 Secondly a Priest to offer up even himselfe a sacrifice upon the Crosse for our sins as in the Psalme The Lord hath sworne and will not repent Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedecke Psal 110.4 yea because he continueth for ever he hath an unchangeable Priesthood Heb. 7.24 who needeth not daily as those high Priests to offer up sacrifice for his owne sins first and then for the people for this hee did once when

world first by conception in the wombe of a Mother and then by production and bringing forth from thence according to the time of life which the Lord hath appointed by his wise and all-guiding and governing providence and decree so he being to take our true and perfect humane nature and shape upon him that therein he might performe all that righteousnesse which the Law of God doth require at the hands of mankinde and so satisfie the rigour of the Law and the wrath of God in mans person for mans sins according to that first promise and prophecie of him The seed of the Woman shall breake the Serpents head Gen. 3.15 Therefore it was requisite that after the manner of all other persons and people whatsoever he should be propagated and produced into the world as well by conception as by birth that so the Enemie of mankinde might have nothing to object against the justice of God as if true and perfect man had not truly and perfectly fulfilled the whole Law and so quit himselfe from the danger of the breach of that first Command of the tree of knowledge of good and evill thou shalt not eat for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt die the death or surely die Gen. 2.17 Therefore I say our Saviour Christ being to become a perfect man it behoved him in all things sin only excepted to be made like man as well by conception as by birth from a carnall and na●urall Mother in regard whereof it is here said Hee was conceived by the Holy Ghost and borne of the Virgin Mary First of his conception He was conceived by the Holy Ghost for so the Angell Gabriel told Mary his Mother when she doubted and demanded saying How shall this thing be seeing I know not a man Luke 1.34 And the Angell answered in the next verse saying The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall be borne of thee shall be called the Son of God vers 35. And in S. Matthewes Gospell it is said Shee was found to be with Child of the Holy Ghost and that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost Matth. 1.18.20 That is saith S. Augustine Cujus conceptionis solus author fuit Spiritus Sanctus of whose conception the Holy Ghost only was the Author and yet not so the Author neither Vt caro ista formata sit citra interventum propriae essentiae Filii Dei as Athanasius speakes as if the flesh were formed without the intervention of the proper essence of the Son of God Absit ea enim est mens Pauli Samosatensis et reliquorum haereticorum as he goes on Farre be it from us so to imagine this being the minde and conceit of Paulus Samosatensis and other Heretikes but we beleeve and speake secundum orthodoxorum dogmatum rectitudinem according to the rectitude and straightnesse of the Catholike Tenets that the blessed Virgin was filled indeed with the power and vertue of the Holy Ghost Tum ut corpus ejus sanctificaretur tum ut salutarem illum foetum concipere possit as well for the sanctification of her body as the enabling of her to conceive that saving and life-bringing fruit in her wombe and so at the last after these fitting preparations the divine nature of the Word it selfe that is the second person in the sacred Trinitie descended Et ibi suum tabernaculum eligens in ea incarnationem assumpsit homo factus est as Athanasius still and choosing there the place of his residence for a time assumed his incarnation and manhood in her so that for us men and for our salvation himselfe came downe from heaven was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and was made man as the Nicene Creed teacheth for by the salutation of an Angell saith S. Gregory the Word entred the wombe and streight the Word in the wombe by the working of the Holy Ghost became flesh for if shee had conceived by the ordinary way of propagating mankind i. e. by the carnall knowledge of man whether Joseph her husband or any other why then that which should have beene borne of her could not have beene without sinne and so not capable of the Mediatorship betwixt God and man nor of satisfying the Law and wrath of God for man but now being made man not after the ordinary course of nature but of the sanctified flesh and bloud of his Mother through the miraculous working of the Holy Ghost in her wombe he is capable of doing all that belongs unto our redemption for by his most holy conception our sinfull birth and conception is sanctified and his holinesse of life serves as a cover to hide our manifold actuall corruptions from the eyes of God For for their sakes saith Christ doe I sanctifie my selfe that they also may be sanctified through the truth Ioh. 17.19 which shewes that Christs holinesse is ours so that this is the name whereby wee may call him The Lord our righteousnesse saith Jeremie Chap. 23.6 Neither let it be incredible to any as S. Augustine speakes that he should take the whole and perfect nature of man only from his Mother the Virgin Nulla sementina carnis origine operante Without any operation or assistance of carnall seed seeing that the hand and power of God wrought and effected it quae primam mulierem potuit de costa formare which was able and did make the first woman that ever was only of a rib of the first man her husband And therefore he that was thus able to make a perfect and intire woman only out of the flesh of man without any other helpe or assistance let us not doubt but stedfastly beleeve that hee is as able to make a perfect and intire man only out of the flesh of woman so that he shall become as perfect God so likewise perfect man of a reasonable soule and humane flesh subsisting as Athanasius for if it be possible as S. Augustine saith for a worme to be ingendred and framed a living creature out of the mud or clay or dirt or dung and the like only by the Suns working heating and reflecting upon it then much more for the flesh of Christ to bee conceived of the Virgin Mary by the only overshadowing illustrating and sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost Hee was conceived of the Holy Ghost And here we may take notice of foure manner of births i. e. wayes or kindes of producing or bringing mankinde into the world The first Nec de viro nec de femina neither of man nor woman which was Adam made only by the Almightie hand and power of God out of the dust and clay of the earth Gen. 2.7 The second De viro sine muliere Of the man without the helpe of woman and this was Eve who was made only of the rib of man Gen. 2.22 The third De viro muliere Both of man
