Emanuel or Immanuel Which words the holy ghost expoundeth in Math. God with vs. For El signifieth God although it doth properly signify strong yet in Esa. it signifieth the true natural God who of himself is strōgest of al yea very strēgth it self The 70. interpreters trāslated it the mighty god Christ is also called God in Zach. who sayth And he shewed me Iehouah the high priest standing before the angel of the lord and Sathan stood at his right hand to resist him And the lord said vnto Satan the Lord reproue thee This angel and Iehouah or God is the onely begotten sonne of God who appeared to the prophet in the forme of an angel is often called an angel as Esa. The angel of the great counsel For he was sent into the world by the euerlasting counsell of the holy trinity This angel Christ is here called by the proper name of our true natural God that is Edonais or Iehouah And thus you see by these playne and manifest wordes that Christ is very true and naturall god I might bring more places out of holy scripture like vnto these where Christ is playnely and simply called God but you shall fynde them in reading your selfe There are also many testimonies by which the godhed of Christ is plainly declared although this name God be not alwais expresly set down For the circumstāces do mightily proue that euen he of whom the scripture in that place speaketh is true God as God saith in Esay I euen I am the Lord and beside me there is no sauior Here God himselfe saith that there is none other Moschiam deliuerer or sauiour but only he And this name Sauiour both in the old new testament is alwais attributed only vnto Christ It followeth therfore that Christ is true God or Iehouah And this testimony proueth the godhead of Christ as well as if in plain manifest wordes he had bene called god For when we write or speak of the prince of any country or prouince then it is all one whether we say here standeth the right lord heyre gouernour of this country or here standeth he to whom this land or prouince belongeth or to whom this region is subiect by the commaundement of god If therfore the whole country or dukedom belong to none other but to the ruler therof only then is the meaning of both the sentēces one If there be none other sauiour but only God and yet Christ is our alone sauiour as the scripture saith he is then must it nedes follow that Christ is God. The scripture also saith in Ieremy Cursed be the mā that trusteth in man. And Paul saith He that beleueth in him that is Christ shall not be ashamed or cōfounded And Iohn saith He that beleueth in Christ shall not be condemned All the whole Gospell requireth fayth in Christ Faith is a worke of the first commaundement which is due to none but only to the sole true god If therfore we must beleue in Christ as we daily say when we repeat the christian creede I beleue in Christ our lord c. It followeth that he is true god For if he had not bene true God the scripture would neuer haue cōmaunded vs to honor him as God But seing that the scripture cōmaundeth vs to honor him as god it must nedes be that he is God. As Ioh. saith The father hath committed all iudgement vnto the sonne because that al men should honour the sonne as they honour the father But the father is honoured in fayth loue feare hope and inuocation For we beleue in him loue hym feare him put our whole trust in him call vpon him and such like This is the honor due to God only But the sonne must be honored after the same maner and therefore he is very god Many such reasons may be gathered as we read in Hilary Ambrose Augustine but specially in Cyril in those 14. famous bokes which he intituled the treasure against the Arrians There is also a testimony of Christes godhed in the 11. of Esay where the Hebrue text is thus The nations shal seeke vnto it or shall make inquisition after it that is Christ The 70. interpreters haue thus translated it the Gentils shal trust in him that is in Christ He speaketh here of the root Isai or Iesse that is Christ which thing must nedes be confessed because none can deny it If then the Gentils must put their trust in him and yet must we trust in none but the true God because none but he can or wil saue vs it followeth by a consequent that Christ is very god The Euangelist S. Iohn is ful of such arguments wherby the godhead of Christ may be proued by his diuine workes Like as the father raiseth vp the dead and quickeneth thē so the sonne quickeneth whom he wil. Wherby it is playne that the sonne is god For to raise vp the dead to life is a worke of an infinite power which none can do vnlesse he be true god But seing that Christ raiseth vp the dead to life by his own power as wel as the father it followeth that he is true god It is also said in Iohn What so euer thing the father doth the same doth the sonne also Wherby is proued that the father the sonne are both of one essence nature and power Therefore the sonne is true God and doth as wel create as the father And in the same chap. As the father hath life in himself so likewise hath he giuen to the sonne to haue life in himself We creatures haue life but not of our selues For it is giuē vs of God by grace But the heauenly father hath life in himself so that he himself is essentially life it selfe neyther hath he taken it of another neither gaue he life so vnto the sonne as he geueth it vnto creatures as thogh he had not had it before or as though he had ben without it and afterward receiued it of his father as other creatures do nay there was no such giuing For the son in his godhed hath not his life after that sort but the father begot him from euerlasting of his own substance essence And thus the father borowed his substaunce of none And whatsoeuer the sonne is or hath the same he is hath of the father The father who is very lyfe in himselfe begot the sonne who also in like maner is very life in himself as s August saith And Christ is the very sonne of God therefore true god And so saith Christ in Ioh. I am the resurrection and the life Wherby it foloweth that Christ is true god For he is life in deed and maketh the dead to liue which thing is not the work of a creature but only of god And Christ sayth in the x. of Iohn I haue power to lay downe my life and haue power to take it againe

sayth the lord of hostes smite the shepeherd and the sheepe shal be scattred Christ himselfe expoundeth this prophesie in Math. calling himself the shepeherd and sayth All you shal be offended by me this night for it is written I will smite the sheepeherd and the sheepe of the flocke shal be scattred but after I am risen againe I will go before you into Galile Ezechiel inueying against the vnfaithfull and false prophets in Israel whith taught not the word of God sincerely and vprightly but preached mās doctrine for the word of God and fed themselues but not the sheepe sayth Behold I wil search my sheep and seek them out as a shepheard searcheth out hys flock when he hath ben amongst hys sheep that are scattered so will I seek out my sheep will deliuer them out of all places where they haue bene scattered in the cloudy and darck day I will feed thy sheep sayth the lord c. Christ teacheth vs in Iohn who is the true sheepeheard to whome the sheep of dutye belongeth who also will keep and defend them from al dangers Wherfore he sayth not simply I am a shepheard but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For the Greke is more effectual that is I am euen that good shepeheard As if he had sayd the prophets haue spoken of a good shepherd which should be so faythful and so mighty that he both would and could deliuer his sheep from al peril That good shepherd is now here himself I am euen the good shepheard There are many other shepherds but they are hirelings for they are not carefull ouer their sheep they are not faithful diligent in their cures but I am that good shepeheard I giue my life for my shepe God the father speaketh more in that place of the prophet cōcerning this shepeherd saying I will set vp a shepeherd ouer thē and he shal feed them euen my seruant Dauid he shal feed them and he shall be their shepeheard This is not spokē of king Dauid the sonne of Isa● for he was dead long before the time of Ezech. but it is spoken of Christ the true Dauid of whō Dauid was but a figure of whose lineal descent it was prophesied that Christ should come Again God saith They shal be my people I wil be their god and Dauid my seruant shal be king ouer thē they al shal haue one shepeherd This is spoken of Christ whose seruants we all are in the ministery of preaching but he is that true shepeherd with whō we shal find a safe place of refuge succor help helth pleasant pastures with all other things necessary for this life for the life to come Paul speaketh thus of this shepeherd to the Hebr. The God of peace that brought again frō the dead our lord Iesus the great shepeherd of the sheepe through the bloud of the euerlasting couenant And Pet. saith When the chief shepeherd shal appeare ye shall receiue an incorruptible croune of glory ¶ An. But where do the prophets witnes that Christ should be the iudge of the world both of Iewes and Gentiles ☞ Vrb. The new testament is an exposition and interpretation a cleare light of the old testamēt Christ saith in Ioh. The father iudgeth no mā but hath committed al iudgement vnto the sonne because that al men should honor the sonne as they honor the father The father also hath giuen him power to iudge because he is the sonne of man The church alwais vnderstood these words to be of the last iudgement when the dead shal rise againe the iudge shal giue to euery one as he hath deserued Paul saith We must al appeare before the iudgemēt seat of Christ that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body according to that he hath done whether it be good or euil Christ therfore died and rose againe reuiued that he might be lord both of the dead and the quick And is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead Now loke on the prophets what after what sort they speake of that iudge who shall iustly iudge the whole world And you shall easely perceaue that it is none other but our Lord Iesus Christ And this is most true This is most infallable For Ioh. sayth The father hath committed all iudgement to him And Peter sayth that god ordained him to this end And so doth the new testament expounde and vnderstande the Prophetes in all places where they write of Christ neyther need we be moued with this that the scriptures do geue iudgment only vnto god For this is no matter this repugneth not our saieng for Christ is that true god And in asmuch as he is God he receiueth nowe nothing which he had not before seing that he is of one essence power and maiestie with God the Father for euer But in asmuch as he is man he receiueth power from the father to iudge al things as Cyril sayth Now then let vs see what the prophets foretell of this mighty iudg Dauid sayth The Lord hath prepared hys throne in heauen for iudgment for he shal iudge the world in righteousnes and shall iudge the people with equitie We easely vnderstād this text by the 17. chap. of the Acts. where Paul preaching to the Atheniences sayth God admonished all men to repent because he hath appointed a day in the which he will iudg the world with righteousnes by that man whom he hath appoynted Again Dauid sayth The God of gods euē the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sun vnto the going down therof out of Sion which is the perfection of beauty hath God shyned Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence a fire shall deuour before him and a mighty tempest shall bee mooued rounde about him Hee shall call the heauen aboue and the earth to iudge hys people The 70 interpreters haue translated it thus God shal come openly euen our god and shall not keep silence any longer The Church taketh this to be spoken of the latter comming of Christ For he will not then come to iudge the world in a base forme or habite hiding hys godhead but at the last day he will come with great power Thus sayth Austine Furthermore that shining beame or beutiful brightnes of God is Christ Iesus he bursts forth and shineth out of Sion that is out of the tribe of Iuda the house of Dauid and will come openly in great power and maiesty accompaned with all the Angels At his first comming he came secretly humbly without any great ado for it was his wil to be iudged and slaine for our sakes euen as a sheepe appointed to the slaughter But in the last day he shall come with great power magnificence and shal descend from heauen as the most mighty high God iudge of all with a

shall shew himselfe humble modest gentle louing and lowly vnto all men he shall vse himselfe most friendly and seruisably to euery body and finally he shall draw all men to him he shall not seeke the applausions of the people he shall not desire the prayse of the common sort neither shall he as one puffed vp with the desire of vayne glory do thinges for a brag or shew as worldly potentates do but he shall despise all worldly pōpe yea he shal flie honors euen due vnto him he shall reiect all mans prayse and glory as it plainly appeareth in the 12. of Math. Where when he had wrought many wonderfull miracles had restored many to their former helth had wonderfully shewed forth his great power towards the miserable afflicted he straitely warned them that they should not make hym known A brused reed shall he not breake The maiesty pomp and power of earthly princes doth terrify the poore afflicted miserable wretched people but Christ is such a lord prince such a doctor teacher as maketh no man afraid and sheweth himself in nothing at all cruell or tirantlike Moses doth sore terrify the weake trēbling consciences of mē by his law His worde is a fierce manacing word his doctrine is a hard heuy doctrine For he requireth of vs most pure innocēcy and obedience to the law of God which in deed we haue not do not are not able to do of our selues And therefore he pronounceth a terrible sentence curse against vs makes vs subiect to the eternal curse But there is no such thing heard in Christ all his speech is amiable sweet pleasant delectable yea such as may greatly comfort troubled consciences hartles amased men His word is the gospell that is the most gladsom swete ioifull message which preacheth nothyng els to heuy harts but grace ioy blessing forgiuenes of sinnes He casteth vs not away for our weakenesse which oftentimes staggereth hee forsaketh vs not for our little fayth which somtimes wauereth neither putteth he vs back for our infirmity which yet dwelleth in vs abundantly but he calleth vs of his own good will allureth vs to come to him that he may cōfort vs refresh vs help vs confirme vs and arme vs gainst al tempests of temptations Is not this a sweet and cōfortable saying Come vnto me al ye that are weary and laden I will ease you Take my yoke on you and learne of me that am meke and lowly in hart and you shal find rest vnto your soules for my yoke is easie my burden light And in the same place he compareth himselfe to a phisition For when he eate with Publicans sinners the Pharises repined at it and thought that it became him not was not lawful that he should haue any doings with thē and that they were altogether to be hated abhorred Christ answered said The whole need not a phisition but they which are sicke For I am not come to call the righteous but the sinners to repentance And the whole story of Christes doctrine through the whole history of the gospel is nothing els but a declaration of his meruailous humanity of his vncredible curtesie of his exceding goodnes of his bountifull liberality of his great good will of his fauorable beneuolence toward vs contēned abiected faint harted sorowfull sickly and miserable mē Whom I pray you did he for his weakenes refuse Whom did he for his low estate basenes despise Nay whō did he not if they desired helpe helpe Did he not receiue and most gently intreat Peter although he had forsworne him Did he not shew himself most gently lowly louyng to Zacheus to Magdalen to the Samaritan adultres to the thieues hanging on the crosse with many other though they had most deadly sinned offended him These such like are those brused reeds smoking flaxe which must not be terrified brokē nor quēched but cherished strēgthened comforted repaired And so Christ doth in deede for he vseth all them most tenderly which are weake which are loden with the burden of their sins which are oppressed with pouerty or any kind of calamity And when he hath gently voluntarily drawn thē vnto him he taketh thē vp comforteth thē cureth thē restoreth thē confirmeth them readily helpeth deliuereth thē euen with his own hand And the prophet prophecied long before that he should in dede be such a one saying He shal iudge the poore of the people he shal saue the children of the nedy shal subdue the oppressor he shal deliuer the poore whē he crieth the nedy also and him that hath no helper He shal be mercifull to the poore nedy shal preserue the soule of the poore And this he doth now stil by his ministers which preach the gospel to the poore in spirit as well as he did then He shal bring forth iudgemēt in truth This world also hath his iudgement but it both is deceiued doth deceiue Because it seeth nothing but that which is apparāt to the eie but Christ seeth that inward secrets of the hart iudgeth the very thoughts of man The world for the most part doth not rightly iudge an hypocrite whose hart is spiteful ambitious foule with other vices and vnclean desires but it taketh him to be a holy innocent man one which leadeth a holy life But Christ iudgeth not according to the external shew for his iudgemēt is vnfallible perfit And he teacheth vs to iudge after the same sort that when we iudge either our selues or other men we should not loke to the outward face but behold examine the inward mā and hart it self For in our selues we must first diligently consider that foule vice which is the roote of all vices namely selfe loue We must loke vpō the incredulitie of our harts and we must search our hartes which want all feare faith and trust in god For when these capitall faults diseases and hellish furies are put out choked and quenched then those outward faults are easily reformed He shal not faint or be discouraged or he shal not be pēsiue or careful or wayward or vntractable that is he shal not be troublesom nor fierce he wil not driue mē from him through the austeritie or fiercenes of his coūtenāce he will offend no man with his high hawty words but he shall haue a great and continuall desire to shew himselfe humble lowly gentle and easie to be spoken vnto To be short he wil do euery thing and seeke alwayes how he may set iudgement in the earth that is how he may finish his worke that he may truely execute and performe the office committed vnto him that he may adorne and set vp equity and iudgement in the land That is that he might correct reprehend amend punish

to destroy him So Ioseph rose toke the babe and his mother by night and departed into Egypt was there vnto the death of Herode that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the lord by his prophet saying Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne This prophesie is thus set down in Hosea When Israel was a child then I loued him and called my sonne out of Egypt Here the prophet speaketh of Israel that is the Iewes and of his sonne Iesus Christ He sayth that God loued the Israelites Which thing he sufficiently declared by many and wonderfull benefits He brought thē vp nourished them always cared for them euen as a father careth for his chylde He made them a great mighty famous people And although their vnkindnes deserued farre otherwise yet notwithstanding he faithfully performed alwayes the promises which he had made vnto thē All these things were done for Christes sake that most blessed seed which he had promised vnto Abrahā This Christ this seed according to the flesh was to be borne of the tribe of Iuda And therfore he brought his people Israel by Moses Iosua out of Egipt the house of bondage into the lād of Canaan with a strong hand mightypower For it was his good pleasure that of this people Christ the sauiour of the whole world should be born as he promised before by his prophets But now after that when Christ our sauiour in the fulnes of tyme was borne had for a tyme by flying into Egypt shrouded himself from the wrath of Herode who had commaunded all the infants to be slain God brought him thence againe into the land of Israel Of which Math. sayeth But when Herod was dead behold the angell of the lord appeared in a dream to Ioseph in Egypt saying arise take the babe his mother and go into the land of Israel for thei are dead which soght the babes life Then he arose toke the babe his mother came into the land of Israel But when he heard that Archelaus did raigne in Iuda in stead of his father Herod he was afraid to go thither yet after he was warned of God in a dreame he turned aside into the parties of Galile wēt and dwelled in a city called Nazareth that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet which was that he should be called a Nazarite ¶ Anna. What speaketh the prophets of the ministery of Christ Of the ministery of Christ how he should be a king a priest a doctor a peacemaker a mediator a shepeheard our redemer and iudge of the world Vrbanus THe prophets witnes that Christ is our king priest teacher maister peacemaker redeemer mediator high iudge God saith by Dauid I wil declare the decree that is the Lord hath said vnto me thou art my sonne this day haue I begotten thee aske of me and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance the endes of the earth for thy possession Here god the father saith that he had ordained his sonne Christ to be king in Zion that is in the whole catholike church For Zion was a hill in Ierusalem wheron king Dauids pallace stoode It is also a figure of the whole catholike church through out the world The sonne maketh mention of his preaching doctrine saying that he would preach declare him self to be the son of god vnto the whole world and that he had all power geuen him not onely to be Lord and king ouer the Iewes but also ouer the gentils that is of all the Christians in the world that all they which beleued hys preaching should bee hys peculiar people ouer whom he would raigne for euer And agayn Dauid sayth Geue thy iudgments vnto the king O Lord and thy righteousnes to the kinges sonne yea all kinges shall honor him and all nations shal serue him This Psalme speaketh of the true Solomon Christ that he should be the greatest and most mighty in the earth before whom all other kinges should do homage So Christ also is called a kyng in the 89. Psalme But we will speake more of these in the title of Christs kingdom I wil make him my first borne higher then the kings of the earth Esa. saith The Lord is our iudge the lord is our lawgiuer the lord is our king he wil saue vs. We read the like in Eze. Zach. And Ioel also saith Be glad then ye children of Zion reioyce in the lord our God for he hath giuen you a raigne or teacher of righteousnes This raigne or teacher is Christ Iesus our only maister doctor as it is sayd in Math. One is your doctor to wit Christ and all ye are bretheren He is not such a teacher or such a maister as Moses or we are For he preacheth not the gospel to the outward eare onely but he giueth vs by the holy ghost the true holines in our hartes spiritually which before god is auailable to wit faith in him Which Paul calleth the righteousnes of God. For faith in Christ is the worke and gift of god in vs which is imputed to vs for righteousnes Againe Dauid saith our instructer shall be adorned with many blessings This instructer is Christ who in dede is truely blessed For all that beleue his doctrine by him are deliuered frō the curse are made the childrē of god for euer He washeth vs with the gratious welsprings of his gifts teacheth vs in our harts that we may be taught of god know the father by the sonne in whō consist true blessings and euerlasting life You haue heard before out of the 61. of Esay that Christ was sent by the father to preach the gospel to the poore afflicted As he confesseth in Luke saying that he should preach the kingdome of God to other cities for therfore was he sent Wherfore Esay calleth him the light of the Gentils the gospel the light of the world because he illuminateth vs which sit in the depe darknes of folly ignorāce with true knowledge the holy ghost For naturally of our own strēgth we neither know god nor our selues The womā of Samaria saith in Ioh. I know well that Messias shal come which is called Christ when he is come he wil tel vs al things And therfore Moses calleth him a prophet because he should teach the worde of God vnto his people Christ also saith in Esay He hath made my mouth like a sharpe sword that is I wil execute my ministery by the word which shal be effectual pierce lyke a sharp sword And he saith to Pilate that for this cause he was borne and for this cause he came into this world that he should beare witnes vnto the truth And he addeth euery one that is of the truth heareth my voyce He wil speake peace vnto the heathen To be brief al
