comming in the shape of a Seruant and dying so ignominious a death for mankinde beeing the cause of this stumbling of theirs they expecting a worldly glorious King and a corporall Deliuerance Therefore Isaiah foreseeing their incredulity for this cause cryes out Who will beleeue our report or to whom is the arme of the Lord reuealed And holy Simeon pronounceth him to be appointed for the rising fall of many in Israel and for a signe which should bee spoken against the wise Economie of the Lords grace beeing herein manifested that by the reiection for a time the fulnesse of the

meeknesse cruelty by suffering obtaining victory and by shame attaining to glory the most glorious and most mighty Kingdomes which wee see beeing but small pieces of their Conquests and Monuments of their Trophe What a death then is this that hath done such things 〈◊〉 all the liuing could not doe What matchlesse power is this that hath wrought such incredible things by weaknesse by contempt by the folly of preaching What base meanes is this to bring down highest Powers Principalities Thrones and Dominions And how comes it to passe that these conquerors at last glorie to dye for him who dyed such a cursed and shamefull death but that they know hee liueth and reigneth for euer and thereby they hauing liued heere by grace in him and dyed witnessing for him should bee brought to liue and reigne in glory eternally with him But our hope according to the promise is that the Vaile at last will be taken from their eyes and Iapheth and Sem shall be found in one Tent the Lord will powre wpon the House of Dauid and vpon the Inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirit of grace and of compassion and they shall looke on him whom they haue pearced These paines Sir that I haue taken herein I haue

or defect is therein let your better ability and learned Iudgement couer support and supply the same Whereunto remitting and recommending it Beseeching God to multiply vpon you the growth of his grace
