the wordes of their Prophecie and that Christs Church may see this truth Christ sends out into the whole earth these seauen guifts of his Spirit as Lamps to giue Light both to his Prophets and Apostles So that if any Spirit of Antichrist obtrude vpon the Catholique Church any other witnesses or blinde Light of gouernment interpretation besides these or think that Christ sent his seuen spirits forth into Rome not forth into the whole earth it is to be held a Spirit of Error and not of Truth But to close vp this generall shadow of the Prophets which I haue vnawares vnfolded beyond my first purpose and to open the particular substance of their seuerall Prophecies we shall find thē all so signally point at our Sauiour that if Moses veyle were not taken frō his face and layd vppon their hearts if they did not by a wicked 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the olde Prophecies set the last comming of our Sauiour in glory before his first in humility that so they might grow proud by him who would first learne them to be humble Learne of me for I am humble they could not but now at length see him to be the Glory of Israel who hath beene so long a time already the Light of the Gentiles all the Circumstances of his Birth the Miracles Offices Doctrine and Humilitie of his life the causes manner and other cōcurrences of his death the Place of his buriall and the assurance of his rising againe being so cleerely praeassigned by their owne former Prophets liuing so long before Let vs therefore diligently search into III. The seuerall Prophecies concerning the Birth Life Death and Resurrection of the Sauiour of the world FIrst that his Mother should be a Virgin was foretold Isay 7. 14. and we shal finde it Mat. 1. 18. fulfilled Beholde a Virgin shal conceiue which the Iews most sillily translate a young woman as Trypho the Iew in his disputatiō with Iustin Martyr and Aquila and Theodotion both Iewish Proselites in their Translations But as Iustin replies it were no wonder for a young woman to conceiue whereas the Prophet speaks of it as a wonder Behold the Lord himselfe will giue you a signe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as your ancient Septuagint saith the Father reads it and not as your idle Rabbies newly translate it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Behold a young woman shall conceiue making that a very strange wonder then which nothing is more common and vsuall Besides to speake in grammer property 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Alma signifieth neyther a Virgin simply nor yet a young woman but one betweene both a Virgin already espoused but not married such as Mary was to Ioseph such as Rebecca was to Isaac when she veyled her face at his sight Gen. 24. 65. and is therefore deriued from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to veyl or hide This being the maiden ceremony of the olde world for Virgins after they had once made choice of their husband to couer their faces to be Nuptae before they were Maritae veyled from al other before they married their owne man The husbands being to become the veyle of her eyes as Abimelech speaketh of Abraham to Sarah Behold he is the veyle of thine eies And this was Gods owne Argument to prooue our Sauiour his Son the Messias Gen. 3. 15. Ier. 31. 22. and in the place now cited And as the person of his Mother so the person of his Messenger was as disertly fore-told by the Prophets Esay 40. 3. Malach the 3. 4. chapters and fulfilled by Iohn the Baptist Luke the 4. who is therefore called Eliah not because he was to be person aeliter but onely personate being to come in the spirit of Eliah and in the manner of his life Eliah fasted often so did Iohn Eliah was girt with a leather girdle so was Iohn Eliah spake all his Prophesie writ none so did Iohn Eliah reproued the people openly to their faces so did Iohn Eliah was sent to renew the worship of God then defaced and changed so was Iohn Eliah told Ahab and Iesabell of their faults plainely so did Iohn Herod and Herodias painted Iesabel sought Eliahs life to slay him dancing Herodias sought and obtained the life of Iohn and slew him So that in his place and apparell in his manners and Prophecies in the prosecution of his life and persecution at his death Iohn though he were not Eliahs persō yet did throughly personate Eliah And this was Iohns crying Argument to proue our Sauiour the Messias The voyce of a Cryer in the wildernes prepare ye the way of the Lord saith Esay Who art thou say the Iewes to Iohn The voyce of a Crier in the Wildernesse prepare yee the waies of the Lord saith Iohn to the Iewes But our Sauiour as he had two Natures so hee had two Messengers Iohn was a burning shining Light on Earth but the Starre burned shined to giue him Light from Heauen A Starre shall come out of Iacob saith Balaam Num. 24. 17. Where is the King of the Iewes saies the Wise men for we haue seene his starre are come to worship him Mat. 2. 2. And this is the heathen mans argument that so much troubled Herod and all Hierusalem with him Now if we search diligently eyther the time when this starre first appeared or the place whether it led the Wise men after it had brought them out of their owne Countrey was it not in the time of the first Herod Luke 3. 1. when the Scepter was departed from Iudah Gen. 49. 10. And the Land was forsaken of both her Kings Esay 7. 16. And this was olde Iacobs argument to proue Iudahs sonne the Messias The Scepter shal not depart from Iudah till Shiloh that is his Sonne come And went it not with them directly to a little Bethleem foretold by Micah the 5. the 2. and in the 2. and 5. of Mathew interpreted by the chiefe Priests and Scribes and people all gathered together at the commmand of Herod to this very purpose who making this quiry Where Christ stould be borne receiued this answere In Bethleem of Iudah And thou Bethleem art not the least among the Princes of Iudah for out of thee shall come the Gouernour that shall rule my people Israell And this was the Argument of all our Sauiours enemies met together against him Herods the chiefe Priests the Scribes and the Peoples to proue him the Messias Wee might now take our Sauiour out of the Cradle of his birth and looke vpon him in the Miracles Offices Doctrine and Humanity of his Life all which wee shall finde curiously foretold by Moyses Dauid Esay Zachary and witnessed not onely by the mouthes of Children and Wise men but forcibly arrested by the Peoples Pilates and the voyce of the very Diuells themselues crying Wee know thee what thou art euen the Holy one of God but because the great Rocke of Scandall whereat both the obstinate Iew
