be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o neri_n and_o the_o legal_a son_n of_o jechonias_n now_o saint_n luke_n set_v down_o the_o natural_a descent_n of_o christ_n from_o david_n by_o nathan_n and_o saint_n

most_o excellent_a and_o noble_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v descend_v of_o the_o eternal_a father_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o as_o he_o man_n descend_v of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o of_o the_o renown_a king_n of_o judah_n and_o this_o his_o nobility_n he_o convay_v in_o part_n to_o his_o member_n in_o that_o he_o make_v they_o the_o son_n of_o god_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n and_o

the_o estate_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o birth_n which_o be_v twofold_a the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n and_o the_o estate_n of_o exaltation_n the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n be_v the_o

priest_n in_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o father_n this_o estate_n agree_v to_o the_o whole_a person_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o both_o nature_n for_o first_o of_o all_o his_o manhood_n be_v abase_v and_o humble_v in_o that_o it_o be_v make_v subject_a to_o the_o infirmity_n of_o man_n nature_n as_o also_o to_o the_o misery_n and_o punishment_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o man_n for_o sin_n second_o his_o godhead_n be_v abase_v not_o as_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o itself_o for_o so_o it_o admit_v no_o alteration_n or_o change_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o

ought_v not_o christ_n to_o have_v suffer_v these_o thing_n and_o to_o enter_v into_o his_o glory_n 26_o and_o here_o we_o for_o our_o part_n must_v learn_v a_o lesson_n the_o same_o which_o be_v true_a in_o christ_n the_o head_n must_v be_v verify_v in_o all_o his_o member_n they_o must_v also_o have_v their_o twofold_a estate_n first_o in_o this_o life_n the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n second_o after_o this_o life_n the_o estate_n of_o glory_n and_o as_o christ_n first_o enter_v into_o the_o state_n of_o his_o humiliation_n and_o then_o into_o glory_n so_o it_o be_v with_o his_o member_n first_o they_o must_v be_v abase_v in_o this_o life_n and_o second_o exalt_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v he_o that_o will_v reign_v with_o christ_n and_o be_v exalt_v must_v first_o suffer_v with_o he_o and_o be_v humble_v he_o that_o will_v wear_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n must_v wear_v first_o a_o crown_n of_o thorn_n they_o that_o will_v have_v all_o tear_n wipe_v from_o their_o eye_n must_v here_o first_o in_o this_o life_n shed_v they_o and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o they_o can_v sing_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n 15.2_o and_o of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o lamb_n must_v first_o swim_v through_o the_o sea_n of_o burn_a glass_n whereby_o it_o be_v signify_v that_o those_o which_o after_o this_o life_n will_v sing_v song_n of_o praise_n to_o christ_n must_v in_o this_o life_n be_v cast_v into_o a_o sea_n of_o misery_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o we_o may_v hear_v learn_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wretched_a case_n for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n to_o have_v perpetual_a ease_n rest_n and_o quietness_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n good_n and_o good_a name_n for_o we_o see_v by_o christ_n example_n that_o through_o adversity_n we_o must_v come_v to_o happiness_n and_o if_o a_o man_n will_v have_v rest_n and_o peace_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v then_o in_o this_o life_n he_o must_v suffer_v trouble_n persecution_n and_o sorrow_n indeed_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v bless_v that_o always_o live_v at_o rest_n but_o before_o god_n they_o be_v most_o miserable_a and_o as_o ox_n which_o be_v make_v fat_a in_o the_o best_a pasture_n ready_a for_o the_o slaughter-house_n every_o day_n second_o here_o be_v a_o excellent_a consolation_n for_o those_o which_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n they_o must_v rejoice_v because_o the_o state_n of_o humiliation_n in_o this_o life_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o plain_a and_o right_a way_n to_o salvation_n and_o glory_n a_o man_n be_v to_o take_v his_o journey_n into_o a_o far_a country_n and_o inquire_v for_o the_o way_n it_o be_v tell_v he_o that_o there_o be_v many_o plain_a way_n but_o the_o straight_a and_o right_a way_n be_v full_a of_o wood_n and_o hill_n and_o mountain_n and_o great_a danger_n now_o when_o he_o be_v traveil_v and_o come_v into_o those_o place_n he_o gather_v certain_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v go_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n though_o there_o be_v many_o way_n to_o walk_v in_o yet_o he_o know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o right_a way_n which_o be_v very_o straight_o and_o narrow_a full_a of_o trouble_n sorrow_n and_o persecution_n full_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o cross_n and_o affliction_n and_o when_o in_o this_o life_n he_o be_v persecute_v and_o afflict_v for_o good_a cause_n whether_o in_o body_n or_o in_o mind_n if_o he_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v his_o cross_n it_o agree_v plain_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n unto_o salvation_n 14.22_o for_o through_o many_o affliction_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o humiliation_n of_o christ_n be_v first_o of_o all_o set_v down_o in_o the_o creed_n general_o and_o second_o by_o his_o part_n or_o degree_n general_o in_o these_o word_n suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n where_o we_o must_v consider_v two_o thing_n the_o passion_n itself_o and_o under_o who_o it_o be_v for_o the_o first_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v the_o passion_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n seven_o special_a point_n must_v be_v open_v i._o the_o cause_n efficient_a the_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o passion_n as_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o

creation_n first_o receive_v god_n image_n and_o after_o lose_v the_o same_o for_o himself_o &_o his_o posterity_n now_o christ_n to_o remove_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v make_v the_o second_o adam_n &_o the_o root_n and_o very_a head_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a his_o manhood_n be_v fill_v with_o holiness_n above_o measure_n that_o from_o thence_o as_o from_o a_o storehouse_n it_o may_v be_v

to_o hide_v our_o manifold_a corruption_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n yea_o it_o serve_v as_o a_o buckler_n to_o award_n the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o when_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o our_o heart_n on_o this_o manner_n no_o unclean_a thing_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o thou_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o original_a sin_n be_v unclean_a therefore_o thou_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o return_v our_o answer_n say_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v our_o righteousness_n serve_v to_o make_v we_o stand_v without_o blame_n or_o spot_n before_o god_n and_o as_o jacob_n put_v on_o esau_n garment_n that_o he_o may_v get_v his_o father_n blessing_n so_o if_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v put_v on_o the_o

be_v eternal_a happiness_n now_o remain_v the_o three_o and_o last_o part_n of_o the_o conception_n which_o be_v the_o union_n of_o the_o godhead_n &_o the_o manhood_n concern_v which_o many_o point_n be_v particular_o to_o be_v handle_v the_o first_o be_v what_o kind_n of_o union_n this_o be_v ans._n in_o the_o trinity_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o union_n union_n in_o nature_n and_o union_n in_o person_n union_n in_o nature_n be_v when_o two_o or_o more_o thing_n be_v join_v and_o unite_v into_o one_o nature_n as_o the_o father_n the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v and_o remain_v three_o distinct_a person_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o nature_n or_o godhead_n union_n in_o person_n be_v when_o 2._o thing_n be_v in_o that_o manner_n unite_v that_o they_o make_v but_o one_o person_n or_o subsistence_n as_o a_o body_n create_v by_o god_n &_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n join_v both_o together_o make_v one_o particular_a man_n as_o peter_n paul_n john_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o second_o be_v the_o union_n whereof_o we_o entreat_v in_o this_o place_n by_o which_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v unite_v unto_o himself_o the_o humane_a nature_n that_o be_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n so_o as_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o manhood_n concur_v together_o make_v but_o one_o person_n the_o second_o point_n be_v in_o what_o thing_n this_o union_n do_v consist_v ans._n it_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o second_o person_n the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v assume_v unto_o it_o a_o manhood_n in_o such_o order_n that_o it_o be_v void_a of_o all_o personal_a be_v in_o itself_o do_v whole_o and_o only_o subsist_v in_o the_o same_o person_n as_o the_o plant_n call_v mi●tell_n have_v no_o root_n of_o his_o own_o both_o grow_v &_o live_v in_o the_o stock_n or_o body_n of_o the_o oak_n or_o some_o other_o tree_n matthiol_n so_o the_o humane_a nature_n have_v no_o proper_a subsistence_n be_v as_o it_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n and_o be_v whole_o support_v &_o sustain_v by_o it_o so_o as_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v at_o all_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sustain_v in_o that_o manner_n and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v four_o degree_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o his_o creature_n the_o first_o be_v his_o general_a presence_n and_o it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o presence_n of_o his_o providence_n 17.28_o whereby_o he_o preserve_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o creature_n and_o give_v unto_o they_o to_o live_v move_v and_o have_v be_v and_o this_o extend_v itself_o to_o all_o creature_n good_a and_o bad_a the_o second_o degree_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o grace_n whereby_o he_o do_v not_o only_o preserve_v the_o substance_n of_o his_o creature_n but_o also_o give_v grace_n unto_o it_o and_o this_o agree_v to_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n upon_o earth_n the_o three_o degree_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o glory_n peculiar_a to_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o this_o stand_v in_o three_o thing_n for_o god_n not_o only_o preserve_v their_o substance_n and_o give_v they_o plenty_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o also_o admit_v they_o into_o his_o glorious_a presence_n so_o as_o they_o may_v behold_v his_o majesty_n face_n to_o face_n the_o four_o and_o last_o be_v that_o whereby_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n be_v present_a and_o dwell_v with_o &_o in_o the_o manhood_n give_v unto_o it_o his_o own_o subsistence_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o this_o manhood_n assume_v be_v proper_a to_o the_o son_n and_o can_v be_v the_o manhood_n of_o the_o father_n or_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o of_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o admirable_a and_o so_o unspeakable_a that_o among_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n there_o can_v not_o be_v find_v another_o example_n hereof_o in_o all_o the_o world_n hence_o it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o body_n and_o reasonable_a soul_n be_v a_o nature_n only_o and_o not_o a_o person_n because_o it_o do_v not_o subsist_v alone_o as_o other_o man_n peter_n paul_n john_n do_v but_o whole_o depend_v on_o the_o person_n of_o the_o word_n into_o the_o unity_n whereof_o it_o be_v receive_v the_o three_o point_n be_v in_o what_o order_n the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v unite_v together_o symb_n answer_n the_o common_a consent_n of_o divine_n be_v that_o albeit_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o manhood_n and_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n be_v unite_v at_o one_o instant_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o order_n he_o unite_v unto_o himself_o first_o and_o immediate_o the_o soul_n and_o by_o the_o soul_n the_o body_n for_o it_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v meet_a that_o god_n be_v a_o most_o simple_a essence_n shall_v immediate_o be_v join_v to_o a_o compound_n body_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v unite_v unto_o it_o by_o the_o more_o simple_a part_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n again_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v first_o and_o immediate_o join_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n himself_o and_o by_o the_o person_n to_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n the_o four_o point_n be_v whether_o there_o remain_v any_o difference_n or_o diversity_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n after_o that_o the_o union_n be_v make_v answer_n the_o two_o nature_n concur_v make_v not_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n to_o be_v compound_v proper_o but_o only_o by_o analogy_n for_o as_o body_n and_o soul_n make_v one_o man_n so_o god_n and_o man_n make_v one_o christ_n neither_o be_v they_o turn_v one_o into_o another_o the_o godhead_n into_o the_o manhood_n or_o the_o manhood_n into_o the_o
