Peter confesseth That Jesus Christ is the Son of God Matth. 16 13-20 Mark 8 27-30 Luke 9 18-20 Jesus went from thence with his Disciples and ascending up towards the Head of Jordan he went into the Towns adjoyning to Caesarea Philippi a City situate upon the same River on the South-Side of Galilee By the Way he asked them What Men said of him They answered him That some took him for John the Baptist others for Elias others for Jeremiah and lastly others for one of the old Prophets risen from the Dead But saith he to them whom say ye that I am Peter answered and said Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God Whereupon Jesus saith unto him Blessed art thou Simon Son of Jonas for Flesh and Blood hath not revealed this that thou hast said unto thee but my Father which is in Heaven And I also say unto thee That thou art Peter and upon this Rock will I build my Church and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it And I will give unto thee the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven XI Jesus foretels his Death to his Disciples Matth. 16 20-28 Mark 8 30-38 Luke 9.21 22. Jesus after this Discourse forbids his Disciples to publish it that he was the Son of God and then begins to tell them what he must suffer as he was the Son of Man He declares unto them That he must go to Jerusalem and be there disowned by the Jewish Governours Chief Priests and Scribes suffer many Cruelties and Indignities from them be put to Death and raised again the Third Day Peter who by reason of the great Love he had for his Lord and Master could not endure to hear this Discourse took him aside and reproved him saying God forbid that such Things should befal thee Lord. But Jesus rebuking him for giving him such Council which though it testified much carnal Love and Affection to him did so plainly oppose the Sacred Purpose of God in redeeming Man said unto him before all his Disciples Depart from me Satan for thou art an Offence to me for thou savourest not the things of God All this was transacted privately between Jesus Christ and his Disciples but he called the People Luke 9 23-27 and began to preach before them all those Truths which Peter did not understand when he discouraged him from suffering Death for he asserted it publickly That if any Man will follow him he must bear his Cross all his Days That to lay down his Life for him and the Gospel is the only way to be saved and to seek salvation any other way is to destroy himself and that he gets nothing by the World that loses his own Soul That he shall hereafter come in his Glory and render to every Man according to his Works and then he will disown them before his Father who have been ashamed of him and his Word before Men And he adds That there are some among his present Hearers who shall not dye till they see him in his Kingdom and in the Greatness of his Glory XII Jesus Christ is transfigured on the Mountain The Promise Matt. 17 1-13 Mark 9 1-13 which Jesus made in the last Words he partly performed within Eight Days after for he took Peter and James and John privately and led them into a very high Mountain where he went to Prayers and while he was at Prayers his Face became as radiant and shining as the Sun Luke 9 28-36 and his Garments as bright as the Light appeared as white as Snow The Three Apostles in the mean while were asleep but when they awoke they saw their Master Transfigured i. e. clear another Man from what they had seen him before for they saw him in that Glory in which he had promised to discover himself to some of them and they beheld also with him Two Men full of Majesty who talked with him concerning that Death which he should suffer at Jerusalem They knew that these Two Men were Moses and Elias and when they were about going from Jesus Peter that he might detain them with them said unto his Master Lord it is good for us to be here and if thou pleasest let us make Three Tabernacles One for thee and One for Moses and One for Elias But as he was thus speaking scarce knowing what he said in his Transport as the Gospel observes a bright Cloud over-shadowed them and there came a Voice out of the Cloud which spake these Words This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased hear him This Cloud and Voice filled the Three Disciples with so great Fear that they fell on their Faces to the Earth But Jesus came to them and comforted them and raised them up Then they lifted up their Eyes and looking round about they saw no Man save Jesus only As they were coming down from the Mountain he commanded them to tell no Man what they had seen till the Son of Man be risen from the Dead They obeyed this Command but did not understand the Last Words and they disputed among themselves about the Meaning of this Expression Vntil the Son of Man be risen from the Dead The Disciples having seen Elias with him in the Mount took an occasion to ask him Why the Scribes and the Pharisees did assert That that Prophet was to come before the Messias Jesus answered them That Elias shall indeed come and shall be rejected and evil-intreated as well as the Son of Man yea he adds That he is already come and that the Jews have done what they list to him and so will they make the Son of Man suffer as they have done his Fore-runner This Answer plainly discovered to the Apostles That the last Elias of whom he had spoken was John the Baptist who had gone before the first coming of Jesus Christ in the Spirit and Power of Elias as Elias himself in Person should go before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ XIII Jesus heals a young Man Lunatick and Dumb. The next Day Jesus being come to the Place Matth. 17 14-21 Mark 9 14-29 Luke 9.37 -42. where the rest of the Apostles were he met a great multitude of Men and the Scribes questioning with them As for the People as soon as they saw the Son of God they ran to him and saluted him being full of Admiration and Joy Jesus then asked the Scribes What was the occasion and Subject of your Dispute but at the same Time came a certain Man to him having broke through the Press and kneeling down at his Feet prayed him to have Pity on his only Son whom he had brought unto him because

The Conclusion p 221 THE HISTORY OF THE LIFE Of our Saviour Jesus Christ FOR about Four thousand Years Book I. after the Creation of the World Man lay groaning under the Power and Tyranny of Satan to whom he had sold and enslaved himself by Sin The greatest part of the World was involved in Ignorance and Idolatry and the Jews only had the Knowledge of the true God and lived in the Expectation of the promised Messiah For Man had no sooner subjected himself to the Decree of Death through the seducements of the Devil but God threatned him to raise up a Child of the Woman which should maintain a continual War with that Wicked Spirit And to this end it was that he discovered himself and his Worship to a certain Number of Men from whose Posterity he designed to raise this Conqueror of the Serpent and Deliverer of Mankind Abraham was the first to whom God promised That all the Nations of the Earth should be blessed in his Seed which he repeated to Isaac the Son of Abraham and Jacob the Son of Isaac and after explained more clearly to the Jews who were the Posterity of Jacob's Twelve Sons wherein this Blessing did consist by giving them Hopes of a Saviour whose Birth Life and Death he foretold in all their Circumstances For he so contrived it that all that befel them should be a continued Figure of this Saviour He appointed them such Sacrifices as represented the great Sacrifice which should expiate and atone for the Sins of Men and for their sakes wrought such Miracles as were nothing else but Shadows and Signs of what he would do for the Salvation of the whole World So that all things did as it were foreshew this Holy Redeemer The Prophets which God sent them from time to time put them in Mind of his Coming and the Calamities which Divine Justice inflicted upon them for their Irregularities and Sins did raise their Minds to a more ardent and earnest Expectation of him as their Messiah or Christ Messiah
whence he shewed him in a moment all the Kingdoms of the World with all the Splendor and Pomp that attends them and promised him all those things if he would fall down before him and Worship him for they are given to me saith he falsly and I give them to whom I please Deut. 6.13 Then Jesus answered him Get the hence Satan for it is written Thou shalt Worship the Lord thy God and serve none but him only The Devil having thus finished all the temptation without success departed for a time and the Angels came to Jesus Christ and readily tendred themselves to minister unto him XVI St. John's Testimony concerning Jesus Christ After these things Jesus being come out of the Wilderness went to Bethabara Jo. 1 15.-18 the place where John was Preaching and Baptizing This faithful Fore-runner when he saw him could not but bare witness of him before all that heard him and therefore cryed out with a loud voice This is He of whom I spake He that cometh after me is preferred before me for he was before me he adds We have received of his Fulness a sufficiency of all Graces for the Law was given by Moses but Jesus Christ hath brought Grace and Truth to the World and that the only begotten who is in the Bosom of the Father is come to discover God to us whom no man hath ever seen Notwithstanding John spake thus honourably Jo. 1 19.-28 and plainly of the Messias the Jews took him for the Person he spake of and therefore sent certain Priests and Levites who were Pharisees and consequently much admired by the people to enquire of him Who he was And he freely confessed and denied not but owned that he was not the Christ for so the Gospel delivers the Confession of St. John and the Testimony which he gave of Jesus to these Messengers Then they asked whether he were Elias or some other Prophet And when he had answered them that he was not They said to him Who art thou then that we may give an answer to them that sent us What sayest thou of thy self I am saith he the Voice of one Crying in the Wilderness Make strait the ways of the Lord. They urged Why then Baptizest thou if thou art not the Messias nor a Prophet He replyed It is true I Baptize with Water but there is one among you whom ye know not He it is who coming after me is preferred before me whose Shoo-strings I am not worthy to unloose The next day John seeth Jesus Christ coming unto him Jo. 1 29.-34 and being unwilling to lose so good an opportunity of discovering him he saith to them that were with him Behold the Lamb of God This is He that bears and takes away the Sins of the World He adds That this was He of whom he had spoken so much already and he assures them that he saw the spirit descending and remaining upon him in the shape of a Dove and that he had been taught by Revelation that this was He that should Baptize with the Holy Ghost XVII Jesus Christ calling Disciples Jo. 1 35.-42 The next day Jesus passed again through the same place two hours before Sun-set and St. John who was there with two of his Disciples said as soon as he saw him Behold the Lamb of God The two Disciples hearing these words followed Jesus who turning himself about demanded of them Whom seek ye They answered Master where dwellest thou he saith unto them Come and see They went with him and abode with him that day One of these two Disciples named Andrew had a Brother called Simon to whom he said We have found the Messias and he brought him to Jesus who having considered him said unto him Thou art Simon the Son of Jonas thou shalt be called Peter The day following the Son of God going into Galilee Jo. 1 43.-51 found one named Philip who was of Bethsaida of which place both Andrew and Peter were and he saith unto him follow me Philip meeteth Nathanael and tells him that they had found the Messias promised by the Law and foretold by the Prophets and that Jesus of Nazareth was he Nathanael answered Can any good thing come out of Nazareth And he followed Philip who brought him to Jesus As soon as Jesus saw him Behold an Israelite indeed without guile or deceit Nathanael astonished at his words asked him Whence knowest thou me Jesus answered Before that Philip called thee when thou wast under the fig-tree I saw thee Nathanael saith Master Thou art the Son of God thou art the King of Israel Jesus answered him Dost thou believe because I said unto thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree thou shalt see greater things Verily verily I say unto thee Hereafter thou shalt see Heaven opened and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man to attend his triumphant Ascension into the Glories of his Father XVIII The first Miracle that Jesus did The third day after his departure from the River Jordan Jesus was at a Marriage in Cana of Galilee Jo. 2 1.-11 to which the Holy Virgin was also invited and his Disciples At this solemnity there being a great want of Wine the Holy Virgin pitying the unseasonable scarcity said to her Son They have no Wine But Jesus being desirous to teach us that in those Actions wherein the Service and Honour of God is concerned we ought to have no respect to Man but even our Parents themselves are to be look'd upon as Strangers saith unto his Mother What is that to you or me mine hour is not yet come The Holy Virgin was not at all disturbed or discouraged at this answer but bid them that waited to do whatsoever he commanded them Now there were six great Water-potts of Stone which were used in the Purifications which were common among the Jews The Son of God orders them to fill them with Water and when they were full he saith unto the Servants Draw out now and carry it to the Governour of the Feast Having tasted of it and perceiving it to be excellent Wine but not knowing whence it was tells the Bridegroom that he had done contrary to the Custom because he had kept the best Wine till the end of the Banquet This change of Water into VVine was the first Miracle that Jesus did and it was of great use to manifest his Glory and confirm his Disciples in their Faith in him XIX Jesus drives the Merchants out of the Temple Jo. 2.12 -25. From Cana he went with his Mother Kindred and Disciples to Caparnaum a City of the same Province of Galilee where he stayed but a little while because the Feast of the Passover being near he went up to Jerusalem Being there he found in the Temple certain Merchants who sold Oxen and Sheep and Doves and the Changers of the Mony sitting at their Tables And he immediately made a VVhip with Cords and drave them all
tormented eternally That to secure themselves from these terrible Punishments we must take away every thing that is an occasion of Falling and if need require cut off Feet or Hands and pull out the Eyes i. e. deprive our selves of those things which may be most profitable and are most dear to us when they become Means and Instruments of making us fall into any Sin XVI Jesus gives Rules for Correcting and Pardoning The Son of God although he uses his utmost Endeavours to keep out Scandals and Offences out of his Church Matt. 18 15-35 Luke 17.3 4. yet he will have us keep a due Charity and Compassion in our Hearts for those that at any Time are the Causes of them And for this Reason it is that in the same Discourse made to his Disciples he gives us most excellent Rules to deal with such Offenders by both as to their Punishment and Pardon for in the first Place he orders That he by whom any Offence cometh shall be admonished in private by the Person offended that if it be possible he may be gained by this means but if a private Admonition have no effect upon him it must be repeated before Two or Three Witnesses and if this prove also unsuccessful and to no purpose we must accuse him to the whole Church and have no more Society or Commerce with him than with an Heathen and Infidel if he contemn the Church's as he hath all private Admonition And that the Church may separate all those from her Communion which may obstruct and hinder the Salvation of her other Children he hath promised her the Authority of Binding and Loosing assuring her That he will ratify and confirm in Heaven whatsoever she shall pronounce and declare upon Earth In the second place he commands when Admonition is successful to pardon the Offence received and that Seven times a Day if the offender repents of what he hath done so often i. e. that we must always forgive him who is penitent and sorry for his Fault for Peter having asked Jesus How often he ought to pardon his Brother whether he ought to do it Seven Times Jesus answered him I say unto thee not until Seven Times but until Seventy Times Seven And to shew him the Necessity and Advantage of such a merciful Temper which is always ready to pardon he propounds a Parable of a King who calling his Servants to an account found One that owed him so great a Sum that he was not able to pay it viz. Ten thousand Talents or a Million eight hundred and seventy five thousand Pounds whereupon he commanded him to be sold and his Wife and Children and all that he had But this Servant falling down at his Feet begged his Mercy and Patience and he forgave him the Debt This Wretch was no sooner gone out but he met one of his Fellow-Servants who owed him a small Debt viz. an Hundred Pence which is about Three Pounds Two and Six Pence of our Mony he takes him by the Throat and would give him no Time for Payment though he earnestly desired Patience but cast him into Prison The King hearing this called this ungrateful Servant reproved his Cruelty and delivered him to the Tormentors till he should pay all he owed Jesus himself made the Application of his Parable saying So shall my heavenly Father use every one of you if ye do not from your Hearts forgive his Brother the Offences which he hath suffered from him XVII Jesus goes to Jerusalem to the Feast of Tabernacles While Jesus thus instructed his Disciples in Galilee some of his Kindred John 7 1-19 that did not believe on him being uneasy that he confined himself so much to one Province urged him to shew his Miracles more publickly at Jerusalem the Capital City of Judea for which he could not have as they thought a fitter Opportunity than the present Feast of Tabernacles for the Jews had Three solemn Feasts every Year which they were all obliged to go to Jerusalem to celebrate upon which account an innumerable Multitude of People met together in that City upon those Days These Three Feasts were the Passover Pentecost Lev. 23.34 and the Feast of Tabernacles This last was kept on the Fifteenth Day of September and continued Eight Days in which the Jews dwelt in Tents made of the Boughs of Trees in remembrance of those Tents or Tabernacles in which they dwelt so long Time in the Desert when they came out of Aegypt This Feast drawing near Jesus's Kindred who were much disturbed that Jesus had never yet been at Jerusalem neither at the Passover nor at Pentecost endeavoured to perswade him to go thither at least at the Feast of Tabernacles to make himself known unto the World and not to deprive those Disciples of his that dwelt in that City of the happy Sight of his Miracles He answered them That they might go to Jerusalem when they pleased but as for himself he must be wary and cautious what he did because he had many Enemies that the World which had nothing to object against them hated him because he reproved their sinful Actions Go ye therefore saith he up to this Feast I will not go up yet with you i. e. so publickly for my Time to appear in that manner is not yet fully come He let them go therefore without him but he went himself soon after but as it were in secret taking his Way through the midst of Samaria XVIII Jesus heals Ten Lepers Jesus passing by a Town of Samaria Luke 17 11-19 saw Ten Lepers that stood afar off and lifting up their Voice said Jesus our Master have mercy on us And Jesus commanded them to go and shew themselves to the Priests Which they obeying were cured in the Way One of them who was a Samaritan and consequently a Stranger in respect of the Jews as we have already observed immediately returned back and glorified God casting himself upon his Face at Jesus's Feet to give him Thanks for the Restitution of his Health Jesus to make known the Gratitude of this Man the more said in a kind of Astonishment Were there not Ten cleansed Where then are the other Nine It is strange that none of them should return to give God Glory for so great a Mercy but this Stranger And he said unto him Arise and go thy Way thy Faith hath made the whole XIX Jesus teaches in the Temple In the mean time John 7 11-53 the Jews enquired after Jesus at Jerusalem at the beginning of the Feast and had much Discourse about him some saying That he was a good Man others that he was a Deceiver About the middle of the Feast he came to Jerusalem and taught in the Temple to the great Wonder of the Jews who could not imagine how he came to have so perfect a Knowledge of the Scripture because they had never seen him study it Whereupon he tells them That he speaketh not of himself and if
