which thou haste tolde thou sayste truthe I in very dede do ordayne a newe tēple I do requyre a newe sacrefyce for I w●s full a good whyle before of the olde I wyll make a newe preest nat that is of y e earth earthly but y t shall be from heuen heuenly whiche shall make newe euery creature nat doynge sacrefyce by course or often tymes but which after one sacrefyce made shall remayne a preest for euer after y e ordre of Melchisedech whom I wyll descrybe vnto the he shall walke in the earth amonges men but he alone shall be without all spotte He shall be conuersant with synners but that he may iustefye them He shall worke ryghtwysenes and do iustyce full parfytely In suche wyse that he onely may saye who amonges you can accuse or rebuke me for synne The deuyll which is an euyll speaker and the prynce of this worlde shal come vnto hym but he shal fynde no defaute in hym He shall speake truth in his harte for he shall be the very truth it selfe Nother shall he commytte or do any gyle w t his tonge for he shall speake nothynge but y t he shall be commaunded of me to speake Nother shall he flatter the wycked nor yet fode or fede y e godly with vaynes promyses but he shall promyse remyssyon of synnes by fayth gyuen vnto hym and he shall truely gyue it he shall promyse resurreccyon lyfe eternall and he shall performe it And so moche shall he eschewe to do euyll vnto his neyghbour that he wyll bestowe his owne lyfe euen for his enemyes for them shall he make intercessyon to me of whome he shall be slayne For he shall come nat to destroye or cause any to perysshe but to preserue and saue He shall come nat to iudge or condempne but to recōcyle to make peace betwyxte god and man Nother wyll he begynne to rebuke or sclaunder his neyghbours whiche dyenge wyl crye for his most cruell torm●ntours or murtherers Father forgyue them for they wote nat what they do whiche also shall caste to the groūde the deuyll that is the accuser of mankynde in makyng hym domme and spechelesse the obligacyon beyng anulled and made of none effecte by whiche he intended accyon and accusacyon agaynste all men And all thoughe he accordyng to his malyce by reason wherof he dothe enuye the sauetye and saluacyon of men in so moche that he wyll fence and sette forth in armes or harnes all his power or armyes agaynste my preest and wyll so declare all his gyles and trechery in bendyng his artyllarye agaynste me yet shal he no whytte profyte or auayle but he shall be broken to peaces and be brought to nought Nother shall the rage or crueltye of the wycked worke any other thynge than that the victorye and glory of hym shall be y ● more clerely knowen and honoured whome they dyd coueyte with great force but in al vayne to be extinte and vtterly abolysshed out of the mynde of men And they by y e same shal purchase none other thynge to them selues than confusyon or shame euerlastynge most greuous dethe or destruccyon For this my preest whome I wyll ordayne chefe ruler in my newe temple and in my kyngdome shall by deth ouercome the author of deth and by shamefull deth of the crosse he shall haue moste honorable tryumphe of the spirytes or deuylles his aduersaryes And partakers of this glorye shall he make all thē whiche fearynge to offende the father wyll heare and obey my welbeloued sonne In whome onely I shal haue so great pleasure and lykynge that nothynge at all can offende or displease me He moreouer shall be in so great bothe fauour auctoryte with me y t I wyll denye hym nothing In the meane whyle it is ryght and true glorye to ouercome the worlde to ouercome the flesshe and to ouercome the deuyll But lyke as the glory of my sonne shall in maner be hydde or vnknowen amonges men whan he shall be in the shappe or semblaūce of a poore and humble or vyle seruaunte yea and of a synner whan he shal be rebuked and reuyled accused condempned and put vpon a crosse Euen so shall the glorye also of thē which do drede god be hydde and vtterly vnknowen amonges men by reason of infirmyte of the flesshe or at the leaste it shal be obscured and darkened But whan he beynge nowe condempned and crucifyed betwyxte two theues shal come agayne in his maiestye with thousandes of aungelles vnnumerable all godly people also rysyng together with hym vnto lyfe and they whiche were partakers with hym of tribulacyons shall be also partakers with hym of glory Thā shall y e wicked se whome they haue smytten and wounded They shall than se them whome before they haue cōculcate and troden downe with theyr excellent bryghtnes to obscure or darken the clerenes of y ● sonne where as they them felues shall lamente and bewayle theyr ow●e madnes These thynges haue I thought good to touche for because I do se that of y e olde doctours some haue applyed all this whole psalme vnto the persone of Chryst to whome do full parfytly quadre and agree these wordes hytherto spoken But the wordes folowynge do nat seme to accorde so well to his ꝑson Which sweareth to his neighbour and doth not disceyue hym whiche hath nat gyuen forth his money to vsurye hathe nat taken brybes or rewardes vpon innocentes Nother is it any great prayse nat to haue done those thynges whiche without a great cryme cā nat be cōmytted or done Suche as these be to worke falsehede by ꝑiurye to increase worldly substaunce by vsuryes to be corrupte with brybes to condem●ne or to beare false wytnes against an innocente body They whiche vsed to do suche thynges were recoūted euyll doers euen amonges the hethen and myscreantes they were punysshed by the lawes Agaynew●rde they whiche dyd no suche thynges dyd nat receyue any publicke rewarde vsed to be gyuen to suche men as had done for the cōmune weale But nothynge dothe appertayne to Christ but th●t is of

glorye of his father So farre wyde was he from takyng rewardes agaynste innocentes y t he gaue hym selfe to be a ransome to redeme innocentes sufferynge deth for them that he shulde brynge them beynge reconsyled vnto lyfe euerlastyng These thynges as they be surmountynge and passyng great euen so dyd he onely perfourme accomplysshe them therfore shal he neuer be moued For Iesus Chryst as sayth the Apostle yesterday to day he is all one for euer And thus farforth haue I sayd cōcernynge the fyrst questyon which mought brynge y e reader in doubt as if these cōmendacyons or prayses were semynge vnmete and vnworthy for Chryst. Nowe is the other questyon to be soluted whiche is why the prophete dothe free and ●elyuer Chryste from these onely vyces seynge ●hat he was all to●gether free and quyte from all maner crymes or vyces The prophet appereth by these forsayd poyntes to haue properly deuyded y e person of Christ from all other But in th● onely persone of chryst were many personages as the personage of a kynge of a preest of a prophete o● a iudge of a doctour In a kyn● whiche coulde bynde the strong● one mencyoned of in the gospell ● entrynge in to his house violentl● take away his goodes was requy●red a power more than humayne ● angelicall And therfore it is sayd● T●e malygner in his presence i● broughte to noughte In a pree●● whiche onely shulde purge clen●● the spottes of all men was requy●red a wonderfull clennes which I can nat se founde in any man Fo● we be all borne the chyldren of yre and wrathe and accordynge to the testymonye of Dauid we be conceyued in synnes The onely sonne of god dyd come without carnall copulacyon in to the wombe of a virgyne and dyd nat by his entrance in to her defyle but consecrate her purenes or clennes And suche as was his concepcyon and natiuyte suche was also all his lyuyng And this noteth the prophete say●nge And he worketh ryghtewysenes But there was neuer any preest whose concepcyon natiuyte hath be with out all spotte or whose lyfe hath be by all maner wyse incontaminate Aaron the hye and the fyrst preest of all dyd so procede frō his mother y t he neaded circumsicyon nother dyd he a lytle offēde god folowynge the furye of the people in makynge a goldynge calfe H●ly dyd synne by ouermoche cockerynge or tenderynge his sonnes Incredulyte was imputed layde agaynste zachary y e father of Iohn̄ Baptyste for which he was punisshed the vsage of his tonge for a whyle taken away But why do I recyte these The very lawe dothe declare no mā to be without synne which therfore doth prescrybe a sacrefyce that y e preest ought to offre for his owne synne I wyll here let passe to mencyon of the false prophetes For amonges the holy and cōmendable prophetes was neuer any pure frome all spotte or blemysshe For Isaye dyd nede of a quycke cole which shulde purefy ● his lyppes There was none of th● but that was ignoraunte in som●ethynge nother was the spiryte of prophecye alwaye present w t them thoughe he were present yet dyd he nat put them in remembraunce of all thynges For a certayne prophete doth complayne sayeng God hath hydde from me this worde or thynge To all was gyuen the gyft of prophecye accordyng to the proporcyon or measure of theyr fayth but in onely Chryste dyd inhabyte the fulnes of the godhede corpo●ally nother was he admonysshed or taught in a dreame or visyon but he brought with hym from the father the full parfyte knowlege of all thynges that be paste present ●o come To this pertayneth that is here sayd He spake the truth in his harte and wrought no gyle in his tonge In a iudge is requyred parfyte knowlege of causes integryte or parfyte ryghtfulnes and a mynde vncorrupte The lorde doth reporte of him selfe in y e euangely sayeng The father doth iudge no man but hath gyuen all iudgemente to the sonne and in y e Crede is testefyed that he shall come to iudge the quycke and the deed He onely dothe iudge truely verely which doth nat iudge after the ou●●warde shewe or apparēce but doth innerly se beholde the hartes regardeth nat y e estates of any mē knowynge no parcyalyte but rendreth vnto euery man accordyng● to y e workes done in his body And accordyn to the sayenge of the gospell they which in y e last iudgemen● shal go about to wynne the fauou● of the iudge by allegacyon of old● familyaryte or acquoyntaunce o● of workes exteryor to suche shal● be sayde I saye vnto you truely I knowe you nat The same thynge● all be welnye requyred ī a doctou● or teacher whiche be requisyte in a prophete For a prophete is also a doctour or teacher lyke as he whiche is a kyng is also a iudge In a doctour whiche is a teacher be requisyte wysdome fidelyte authoryte and lyuynge according to his doctryne or learnynge In onely Chryste was all fulnes of dyuyne sapyence or wysdome he was both a faythfull and ryght prudent distrybuter of mysteryes celestyall which dyd bryng forth of his treasurye thynges bothe newe olde And as touchyng authorite it was neuer sayd absolutely of any other than of Chryste whose wordes all were spryte lyfe heare you hym Therfore y e ꝓphet doth recyte those crymes or defautes chefely which all y e ꝑsonages before shewed cōteyned in christ are wont to be subget vnto fautye of So that all y e whole worlde shulde vnderstande that in conclusyon one man shulde come which shulde parfitly declare him selfe to be an innocēt kyng a preest throughly in all poyntes pure a ꝓphete in al thinges iuste true a doctour or teacher teaching other men nothīg which he hȳ selfe dyd nat in dedes ꝑfourme a iudg● vncorrupte So that there is no●thynge y t we oughte to seke in thi● lyfe without or besydes chryste I● is no nede to tell that to all men is knowen y t is to wytte howe grea● harme dyuers kinges do vnto me● by reason of theyr power cruelte Whan they polle the
