that it is euident by Scripture That Iesus is that Christ all those things spoken of the Messiah agreeing to him alone and being applyable to no other besides The humble abasement of this lowly Lord 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 Gentiles might bee accomplished all men might taste of grace the ends of the earth might be his Sonnes possession But would they enter within the Vayle and behold what glory of the Holiest is vnder the base outward couering of the Arke and by a holy consideration digge within the earth of his humanitie and they should finde the glorious Pearle and treasure of the incomprehensible Deity manifesting it selfe in his life in matchlesse miracles possible onely to that nature to performe so that the simple people are forced to confesse that none could do such things except GOD were with him discouering it selfe also in his death by fearefull wonders so that the Centurion proclaimes Of a surety he was the Sonne of God and after his glorious Resurrection and Ascension notwithstanding

broken in pieces and as Sisera before Iael prostrate at the foot of his Crosse by ignorance as the world accounted subduing learning by simplicitie wisedome by humilitie pride by weakenesse power by 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

courteous and kind acceptation of this harmonicall consent in making the Old Testament as it were by the hand to leade in the New and the Trumpet of the Prophets to sound the newes of the Gospell without the needing many if any words earnestly to sute the same Receiue therefore Sir from an affectionate heart and dutifull hand this small Pledge of gratitude and remembrance and what weakenesse 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 and sensible blessing and that with our Master Iesus you may dayly grow more more in fauour both with God and Man Your Worships in all sincere and dutifull affection in the Lord WILLIAM GVILD THE

The body the head and the fat and all was laid vpon the fire Shewing thereby how whole Christ should suffer for vs both in body and soule Isai. 53. 12. 11. The inwards and legges thereof were to be washed in water Shaddowing thereby how Christ should bring no vncleannesse vnto his Passion but he should be clean both inwardly and outwardly in minde and in walking Heb. 7. 12.
