speaking of many but through her child-birth as meaning one which is Christ the Sonne of God made of a woman without man 13 It is vsuall with the Hebrewes to put the abstract for the concrete substantiues for adiectiues Cause our captiuitie to returne like the Rivers in the South that is bring home our captiues with speed so Salvation is often put for Saviour Glory for glorious Iustice for iust c. Now by the same priviledge which admitteth captivity for captiues or sanctificatio domini for domino sanctificatus must 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 child-birth go in this place for as much as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is all one with 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shee shall be saued by her child Briefly the womans child-birth is as much as the womans child the womans child is somewhat more than the womans seed For that the womans seed which was to crush the serpents head should become a child and be brought forth by his mother not conceiued only is no paradox of our invention It was the meaning of Gods promise when first he made it that this seed should be such a child so conceived and brought forth as might truely call a woman his mother but no man on earth his father 14 To giue you a more distinct view of Gods wisdome in contriuing the meanes of our salvation The first woman by yeelding her consent to the wicked spirit eares of the forbidden fruit in hope she and her husband should become Gods and their ofspring like young Gods knowing good and evill The issue of this adulterous compact with the serpent was that shee conceaued sinne and brought forth death before she was a mother of children And her children with their posteritie were by nature the sonnes of wrath the serpents seed and heires of his everlasting curse To cure this maladie by the contrarie God in his wisdome so ordaines that another of the weaker sexe of a temper quite contrarie to her mother Eue one as lowly as she was prowd whom the old serpent had never tempted with dreames of being a Queene much lesse of being a Goddesse on earth one whose spirit reioyced in the lowly estate of an handmaid should by yeelding consent to the blessed spirit conceaue him that was the sonne of God the tree of life in whom as many as beleeue receaue the adoption of sonnes and are co-heires with him of everlasting blisse No marvaile if the issues of their cōsents should be so cōtrary when as the principall agents with whom they contracted were such opposites the one was the SPIRIT of TRVTH the author of life and GOD of LIGHT the other the spirit of falshood the father of lies and prince of darknesse Lastly the first woman did thus adulterate her soule by contracting with Satan without advice or consent of her husband and this is that which made her estate the state of her sexe farre more desperate then Adams was For as Divines obserue the wicked Angels because they sinned wittingly and willingly without a tempter are left without all meanes of a mediatour or redeemer Now the woman in that she did partake more deeply of this their sin for being tempted by them she forthwith turn'd tempter with them was more liable to their remedilesse punishments then the man vntill the Lord in mercy found out the meanes here mentioned by our Apostle to releiue her The conclusion intended by him in that discourse is to assure woman kinde that Evahs assenting to Satan without the advise of her husband was not more available to condemne the sexe then the blessed Virgins bringing forth of her first borne whom she conceiu'd by meere reliance on Gods promise without the concurrence or furtherance of man was to redeeme it 15 This exposition of the place in Timothie is so cleere and naturall that not the meanest student here present so hee will marke the former references to the first creation but may well wonder how any professed interpreter could omit it Imagine with me that the whole tenour of this assurance devised in tearmes most exquisite for securitie and comfort of the weaker sexe were to be pervsed by any ordinarie Lawier but with halfe the diligence men vse to examine Leases or other Evidences concerning their private commodities The principall clause or demise it selfe would at first sight appeare to be contained in these words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 It would likewise be as apparent that faith loue holinesse sobrietie and temperance did follow onely by way of condition or proviso Or to speake in our owne dialect Seeing faith loue c. are added as cōditions or qualificaons on the womans part who is the subiect or patient the meanes or meritorious cause of salvation being emphatically assigned vnder scholasticke character in the clause precedent 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this hath alwaies seem'd to me a demōstration as evident as any can be ab effectu that the principall obiect or foundation of sauing faith the promised womans seed must needs bee comprised in the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In Iesus Christ saith the Apostle neither circumcision availeth any thing nor vncircumcision but faith which worketh by loue But neither loue nor faith working by loue can availe more without Christ Iesus then circumcision in Christ Iesus And bootlesse it had beene to haue added this cōditional if they continue in faith c vnlesse the foundation of faith and salvation had beene comprised in the former words She shall bee saued by her child birth Now as fidelitie chastity practises of charitie are necessarie to all but in a peculiar and remarkable sort necessarie to those whose forefathers haue beene perfidious adulterours and oppressors so albeit none can be saued without these virtues here mentioned faith charitie holinesse temperance yet are these peculiarly necessarie to the weaker sexe in respect of the first womans sinne to the severall parts or degrees whereof they are most divinely and accurately suited and ranked by our Apostle One part of her transgression perhaps the first was infidelitie or distrust to Gods threats and promises therefore it is required as a condition necessarie to all women 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that they be constant in faith Another part of the first womans sinne besides disloialtie was breach of that sociall loue which by order of creation was due vnto her husband For as shee had beginning of being from him so she was not to haue contracted any businesse concerning her estate without him Shee should haue knowne his consent before shee had presumed to haue passed hers and because shee did not so but brake the bond of sociall loue it is required of all women that they continue in loue 16 Againe the first womā polluted her soule with spiritual adulterie by listning to Satans impious suggestions Hence it is required of the weaker sexe that they continue in holinesse chastity The claspe that must keepe all these ornaments or spirituall habits close about
