because_o his_o purpose_n be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 22._o chap_a to_o gather_v together_o the_o last_o speech_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o the_o reader_n shall_v much_o

whereas_o the_o disciple_n think_v that_o christ_n go_v even_o then_o to_o take_v possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n he_o reprove_v this_o error_n first_o because_o he_o must_v take_v a_o long_a

have_v not_o thorough_o bring_v all_o his_o enemy_n under_o nor_o yet_o appear_v as_o judge_v of_o the_o world_n nor_o manifest_v his_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o unapt_o say_v that_o he_o be_v absent_a

because_o be_v join_v unto_o christ_n their_o head_n they_o can_v be_v extinguish_v by_o death_n because_o death_n be_v unto_o they_o a_o passage_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n because_o the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o they_o be_v life_n for_o righteousness_n until_o he_o swallow_v up_o the_o death_n which_o remain_v but_o these_o man_n as_o they_o be_v carnal_a so_o they_o do_v acknowledge_v no_o deliverance_n from_o death_n but_o such_o as_o may_v appear_v open_o in_o the_o body_n and_o this_o disease_n be_v too_o common_a in_o the_o world_n so_o that_o most_o man_n do_v almost_o make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o esteem_v the_o same_o only_a by_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o lest_o the_o same_o befall_v we_o our_o mind_n be_v to_o be_v awake_v that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o spiritual_a life_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n 53_o then_o our_o father_n this_o be_v the_o other_o vice_n because_o they_o endeavour_n to_o darken_v the_o glory_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o brightness_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o saint_n but_o as_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v darken_v all_o the_o star_n so_o all_o the_o glory_n which_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n must_v vanish_v away_o at_o the_o unmeasurable_a brightness_n of_o christ._n therefore_o they_o deal_v unjust_o and_o perverse_o in_o that_o they_o set_v the_o servant_n against_o the_o master_n nay_o moreover_o they_o be_v injurious_a unto_o abraham_n and_o the_o prophet_n while_o that_o they_o abuse_v their_o name_n against_o

of_o god_n do_v make_v he_o as_o it_o be_v their_o adversary_n god_n do_v make_v his_o name_n know_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o martyr_n the_o papist_n make_v unto_o themselves_o idol_n of_o the_o

the_o order_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v confound_v unless_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v far_o inferior_a unto_o christ_n that_o he_o alone_o may_v excel_v they_o all_o and_o true_o we_o can_v speak_v more_o honourable_o of_o the_o saint_n then_o whenas_o we_o put_v they_o under_o christ._n but_o howsoever_o the_o papist_n do_v deceive_v the_o

of_o his_o essence_n therefore_o the_o father_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o son_n because_o the_o full_a divinity_n dwell_v in_o he_o and_o show_v forth_o his_o power_n again_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o father_n because_o he_o show_v by_o his_o divine_a power_n that_o he_o be_v one_o with_o he_o the_o word_n which_o i_o speak_v he_o prove_v by_o the_o effect_n that_o we_o must_v

heavenly_a and_o divine_a indeed_o if_o any_o man_n object_n on_o the_o contrary_a that_o all_o the_o prophet_n be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o they_o speak_v divine_o by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v god_n for_o the_o author_n of_o their_o doctrine_n we_o may_v easy_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v mark_v what_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v for_o the_o prophet_n do_v send_v their_o disciple_n unto_o some_o other_o but_o christ_n retain_v they_o in_o himself_o we_o must_v also_o note_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v in_o the_o first_o

of_o myself_o that_o be_v as_o a_o man_n only_o or_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n because_o ●when_o as_o the_o father_n show_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spyrite_n in_o his_o doctrine_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o power_n in_o he_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o father_n do_v the_o work_n this_o must_v not_o be_v restrain_v unto_o the_o miracle_n for_o he_o

we_o will_v think_v that_o he_o live_v no_o long_o if_o he_o rest_v but_o one_o fortnight_n for_o this_o cause_n christ_n make_v mention_v not_o only_o of_o his_o present_a power_n which_o the_o

content_a with_o this_o alone_a we_o must_v first_o mark_v what_o christ_n mean_v to_o wit_n that_o that_o power_n whereby_o he_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o

conversion_n of_o the_o world_n immediate_o after_o christ_n his_o ascension_n wherein_o christ_n his_o divinity_n do_v show_v itself_o more_o mighty_o then_o when_o he_o be_v conversaunt_a among_o

appertain_v unto_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n because_o i_o go_v unto_o the_o father_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o disciple_n shall_v do_v great_a thing_n than_o christ_n himself_o be_v because_o when_o he_o have_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n he_o shall_v show_v his_o power_n from_o heaven_n more_o full_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v no_o whytte_n of_o his_o glory_n deminish_v because_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v more_o excellent_o after_o his_o departure_n who_o be_v only_o his_o instrument_n yea_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n that_o every_o knee_n may_v bow_v before_o he_o and_o he_o himself_o affirm_v short_o after_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o those_o

then_o or_o no_o in_o who_o name_n the_o father_n be_v to_o be_v entreat_v i_o answer_v that_o he_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n more_o evident_o after_o that_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o heavenly_a sanctuary_n as_o we_o
wholesome_a to_o save_v us._n furthermore_o almost_o every_o word_n have_v his_o weight_n for_o he_o mean_v not_o in_o this_o place_n all_o manner_n of_o knowledge_n of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o

make_v partaker_n of_o the_o adoption_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o because_o god_n be_v know_v in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n alone_o who_o be_v his_o lively_a and_o express_a image_n therefore_o be_v it_o say_v that_o they_o may_v know_v thou_o and_o christ_n who_o thou_o have_v send_v for_o in_o that_o the_o father_n be_v place_v first_o that_o be_v not_o

when_o the_o mediator_n be_v put_v between_o there_o be_v two_o epithet_n add_v true_a and_o only_o because_o it_o be_v necessary_a first_o that_o faith_n do_v distinguish_v god_n from_o all_o the_o

answer_v if_o any_o man_n take_v heed_n unto_o the_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o christ_n use_v every_o where_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o john_n whereof_o i_o have_v so_o often_o tell_v the_o

whenas_n we_o be_v come_v thither_o then_o his_o divine_a majesty_n do_v show_v forth_o itself_o then_o he_o be_v know_v whole_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n be_v know_v whole_o in_o he_o in_o sum_n he_o that_o separate_v christ_n from_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o father_n he_o do_v not_o know_v he_o as_o yet_o who_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n but_o he_o do_v rather_o forge_v to_o

if_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n only_o by_o faith_n infidelity_n do_v hold_v we_o necessary_o in_o death_n if_o any_o man_n object_n that_o the_o just_a and_o innocent_a have_v injury_n do_v they_o

and_o we_o be_v renew_a as_o paul_n testify_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n by_o knowledge_n now_o be_v it_o worthy_a the_o labour_n to_o gather_v three_o point_n together_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n bring_v life_n and_o salvation_n colloss_n 3._o 10._o second_o that_o all_o man_n do_v not_o receive_v life_n thence_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n his_o office_n to_o give_v

to_o all_o man_n but_o proper_a to_o the_o elect_a it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o gospel_n be_v offer_v unto_o all_o man_n but_o christ_n set_v forth_o in_o this_o place_n the_o hide_a and_o

that_o he_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n which_o be_v enjoin_v he_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o call_n for_o that_o be_v the_o due_a and_o appoint_a

yet_o because_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n be_v now_o present_a he_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v death_n already_o this_o be_v therefore_o the_o sum_n that_o he_o may_v be_v send_v of_o his_o father_n into_o the_o possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o asmuch_o as_o have_v end_v his_o course_n there_o remain_v nothing_o else_o for_o he_o to_o do_v save_v only_o that_o he_o
