to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n tradâ—io_n enim_fw-la adhuc_fw-la est_fw-la inter_fw-la eos_fw-la messiam_fw-la evehendam_fw-la super_fw-la abrahamum_fw-la &_o

of_o god_n messenger_n and_o servant_n as_o for_o example_n 3._o moses_n who_o be_v indeed_o faithful_a in_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o office_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n and_o qualification_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o christ_n appear_v faithful_a as_o a_o son_n see_v heb_fw-mi 3.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o wherefore_o holy_a brethren_n partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a call_n consider_v the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o profession_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v faithful_a to_o he_o that_o appoint_v he_o as_o also_o moses_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n for_o this_o man_n be_v account_v worthy_a of_o more_o glory_n than_o moses_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o who_o have_v build_v the_o house_n have_v more_o honour_n than_o the_o house_n for_o every_o house_n be_v build_v by_o some_o but_o he_o that_o build_v all_o thing_n be_v god_n and_o moses_n very_o be_v faithful_a in_o his_o house_n as_o a_o servant_n for_o a_o testimony_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o he_o speak_v after_o but_o christ_n as_o a_o son_n over_o his_o own_o house_n who_o house_n be_v we_o if_o we_o hold_v fair_a the_o confidence_n and_o the_o rejoice_v of_o hope_n firm_a unto_o the_o end_n from_o all_o which_o i_o gather_v this_o undeniable_a maxim_n that_o although_o moses_n have_v in_o his_o time_n the_o great_a honour_n confer_v on_o he_o in_o reward_n of_o his_o fidelity_n towards_o almighty_a god_n yet_o he_o be_v still_o term_v a_o servant_n but_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v speak_v of_o christ_n when_o bring_v to_o public_a view_n by_o way_n of_o comparison_n with_o the_o great_a of_o the_o hero_n before_o he_o he_o be_v prefer_v before_o they_o all_o as_o a_o son_n the_o elder_a son_n &_o master_n of_o the_o family_n so_o that_o now_o we_o see_v plain_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o appellation_n the_o son_n as_o a_o learned_a father_n say_v upon_o theâ—e_n word_n christum_fw-la ante_fw-la angelis_n praetulit_fw-la nunc_fw-la &_o moysi_n quem_fw-la judaei_n facilé_fw-fr putarentâ—_n angelis_n praestare_fw-la quos_fw-la scriptura_fw-la non_fw-la amicos_fw-la ut_fw-la mosem_fw-la sed_fw-la ministros_fw-la vocat_fw-la it_o be_v true_a that_o what_o be_v speak_v of_o moses_n may_v be_v say_v of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n the_o jew_n that_o do_v believe_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o the_o messiah_n that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n yet_o still_o they_o be_v great_a admirer_n of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o great_a man_n who_o have_v the_o conduct_n of_o affair_n in_o their_o several_a generation_n and_o be_v sometime_o incline_v to_o judge_v a_o equality_n to_o be_v betwixt_o moses_n and_o christ_n the_o apostle_n therefore_o to_o take_v they_o off_o from_o put_v so_o great_a a_o dishonour_n upon_o the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n tell_v they_o that_o christ_n be_v count_v worthy_a of_o more_o glory_n than_o moses_n for_o though_o christ_n be_v a_o servant_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o moses_n and_o a_o friend_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o abraham_n yet_o he_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v because_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o the_o son_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v prefer_v before_o servant_n and_o friend_n and_o the_o elder_a son_n before_o all_o the_o family_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o elder_a son_n the_o first_o beget_v among_o many_o brethren_n to_o he_o be_v give_v the_o pre-eminence_n the_o jew_n though_o reduce_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n yet_o through_o the_o habit_n of_o a_o different_a education_n be_v unwilling_a to_o forsake_v the_o great_a veneration_n they_o have_v for_o their_o great_a conductor_n to_o who_o they_o give_v more_o honour_n and_o respect_n than_o they_o do_v to_o the_o angel_n themselves_o for_o they_o term_v they_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n but_o the_o angel_n those_o celestial_a being_n be_v only_o term_v god_n servant_n so_o that_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o when_o the_o apostle_n prefer_v christ_n before_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o they_o be_v more_o easy_o induce_v to_o believe_v &_o therefore_o after_o he_o have_v give_v undeniable_a reason_n to_o convince_v they_o that_o the_o sonship_n of_o the_o messiah_n do_v entitle_v he_o to_o more_o glory_n &_o honour_n than_o god_n holy_a angel_n he_o come_v to_o give_v they_o the_o like_a argument_n to_o oblige_v they_o to_o believe_v this_o sonship_n of_o christ_n entitle_v he_o to_o more_o glory_n than_o moses_n himself_o to_o who_o law_n they_o give_v such_o veneration_n insomuch_o that_o they_o think_v none_o can_v be_v save_v but_o those_o that_o do_v observe_v it_o act_n 15.1_o and_o see_v that_o they_o have_v such_o a_o esteem_n for_o moses_n it_o will_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o difficulty_n to_o make_v they_o to_o believe_v the_o preeminency_n of_o jesus_n christ_n above_o he_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o first_o fix_v verse_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o hebrew_n endeavour_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o sonship_n of_o christ_n to_o manifest_v he_o to_o be_v worthy_a of_o more_o glory_n than_o moses_n who_o though_o he_o be_v god_n favourite_n &_o faithful_a in_o god_n house_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o a_o servant_n but_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n favourite_n and_o not_o only_o faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o a_o servant_n but_o also_o as_o a_o son_n 2._o i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o show_v you_o why_o he_o be_v call_v in_o my_o text_n the_o son_n of_o man_n there_o be_v several_a reason_n for_o this_o 1._o that_o be_v man_n he_o may_v know_v our_o misery_n and_o how_o he_o may_v succour_v they_o that_o be_v tempt_v which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v do_v have_v not_o god_n constitute_v he_o a_o faithful_a and_o a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n in_o thing_n appertain_v to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n in_o order_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n for_o it_o be_v irrational_a to_o conclude_v that_o this_o great_a design_n can_v have_v be_v effect_v have_v not_o christ_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n make_v like_a unto_o his_o brethren_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v make_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o like_a suffering_n and_o temptation_n that_o man_n lie_v under_o and_o therefore_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n sin_n only_o except_v he_o be_v able_a to_o support_v and_o carry_v we_o through_o temptation_n and_o succour_v we_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o trial_n it_o be_v a_o natural_a maxim_n that_o none_o can_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v more_o incline_v to_o show_v compassion_n to_o those_o that_o be_v object_n of_o pity_n than_o those_o that_o be_v and_o have_v be_v compass_v with_o sorrow_n and_o temptation_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n heb._n 2.16.17_o 18._o for_o very_o say_v st._n paul_n he_o take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v he_o lay_v not_o hold_v of_o angel_n as_o they_o fall_v and_o be_v carry_v away_o captive_a from_o he_o to_o save_v or_o rescue_v they_o from_o ruin_n or_o to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o captivity_n but_o only_o to_o man_n do_v he_o extend_v this_o favour_n of_o rescue_v and_o save_a they_o from_o ruin_n wherefore_o say_v the_o same_o apostle_n ver_fw-la 17._o in_o all_o thing_n it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o his_o brethren_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a and_o a_o faithful_a high_a priest_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n from_o which_o word_n we_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o design_n of_o god_n that_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n by_o a_o eternal_a eternal_a generation_n shall_v come_v in_o a_o angelical_a guise_n or_o glory_n but_o in_o a_o humble_a suffer_a condition_n that_o he_o may_v be_v better_o qualify_v to_o have_v compassion_n on_o those_o who_o be_v in_o 〈◊〉_d fall_a condition_n and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o thereby_o only_o assure_v that_o jesus_n chriâ—â—_n as_o the_o apostle_n style_v
