excepted for the further cleering of which consider these foure conclusions first The Sonne of God made man is not two persons distinct but one alone Quest. How can this be for as he is the Sonne of God he is a person and as he is a man he is a particular person as euery seuerall man is and therefore hee is two persons Ans. Euery particular man is a person because he subsisteth of himselfe but the manhood of Christ subsisteth not in it selfe but in the second person onely so that Christ God and man is but one person for euen as body and soule make one man so Godhead and Manhood make but one Christ. Secondly this one person consisteth of two distinct natures the Godhead and the Manhood standing of bodie and soule Thirdly these two natures are vnited and ioyned into one person for the Godhead doth take the Manhood and support it Fourthly these two natures after coniunction remaine distinct the Godhead is not the Manhood neither on the contrary but still distinguished first in regard of themselues Secondly of their properties for the properties of the one are not the properties of the other Thirdly of their actions for the actions of the Godhead are not communicated to the Manhood neither is the worke of one nature the worke of another Aduersaries hereof are First Heretikes innumerable which are not knowne to all but knowne enemies are first Jewes who denie Christ to come in the flesh Secondly some Jewish Arrians compounded heretikes who haue withstood Christs incarnation some of which haue suffered amongst vs. Thirdly the Papists the substance of whose doctrine robbeth Christ of his humane nature though they confesse him incarnate for since his death they teach his bodie is become inuisible and in innumerable places at once so they abolish the Manhood of Christ and turne it into the Godhead seeing it is become infinite and vncircumscribed Ob. They alleage God can make it to be in many places at once Ans. We may not dispute what God can doe but what he will doe so farre as he hath reuealed Secondly it stands not with the power of God to doe some things as those which imploy contradictions to be true at the same time Of which nature this is to make a true bodie to be in many places at once yea to be in heauen and also euery where on earth But his bodie is glorified and therefore may be in many places at once Ans. The words this is my bodie were spoken before his glorification Secondly glorification taketh away the corruption but not the true properties of his bodie as length breadth thicknes and circumscription Ob. But things ioyned together must be in the same place and cannot be seuered and therefore his Manhood being ioyned to his Godhead must needes be euery where Ans. The antecedent is false for things ioyned together may bee the one in one place the other in another as the bodie of the Sunne is ioyned with his beames and light and yet the bodie of the Sunne is in heauen but the beames and light in the earth also The 13. ground is that Iesus is Christ. 1. Ioh 2.22 Who is a lier but he that denieth that Iesus is Christ the same is the Antichrist From which place wee may gather two thinges First That Iesus is Christ. Secondly That it is a ground susteyning our whole saluation For whosoeuer denieth it is Antichrist see 1. Cor. 3.10 The meaning of the ground by Christ I vnderstand the annointed Sauiour and Redeemer who is a King Priest and Prophet First as he is a king his power manifesteth it selfe in three thinges First in sauing and destroying not the body onely as other kinges but the soule also Secondly in pardoning sinnes or reteyning them Thirdly in making lawes to bind consciences Secondly his Priestly office standeth in two thinges First in a power to offer sacrifice propitiatorie for the sinnes of whole mankind Secondly in making intercession to God for mankind Thirdly his Propheticall office consisteth in three thinges First in reuealing to man the will of his father Secondly in enlightining of the mind to vnderstand that will reuealed Thirdly in framing of the harte to performe obedience vnto it together with the setling of it in the truth Thus he is the Christ that is the annoynted of God But we must yet here goe further and vnderstand by Christ a perfect Christ a perfect Redeemer without any partner fellow or deputy for if hee haue a partner he is but halfe a redeemer and if he haue a fellow or deputie how is he omnipotent or omnipresent This is plaine by testimonie of Scripture There is none other name Actes 4.12 therefore there is no fellow or partner There is one Mediatour that is but one 1. Tim. 2.3 yea by himselfe he purged our sinnes Heb. 1.3 without fellow or deputy whose Priesthood is such as cannot passe from himselfe to another Heb. 7.24 Obiect But Ministers haue power to remit and retaine sinne hauing the keyes giuen them Answ. The keyes are not giuen to Ministers to pardon men properly but Ministerially to pronounce and declare that God in heauen doth pardon them Ob. The Saints shall iudge the world and therfore not Christ onely Answ. They shall not iudge by pronouncing a soueraigne sentence of absolution or condemnation which is proper to Christ the Iudge but by assisting him as Iustices vpon the bench both by witnessing and assenting vnto that righteous iudgement Obiect Psal. 45.7 He is annoynted with oyle of gladnes aboue his fellowes therefore hee hath fellowes Answ. All that beleeue in Christ are the fellowes of Christ but in his annoynting that is in grace though not in office Obiect But Ministers are Christs deputies An. Ministers are properly no deputies but instruments to declare the will of God and can go no further then to teach the eare for it is Christ himselfe that enlighteneth the mind But it will bee said that Kinges are Christs deputies on earth Answ. They are his deputies as hee is God equall to his father not as hee is Mediatour Aduersaries of this maine ground are The Romish Church who rob Christ of all these three offices For first his kingly office they giue part of it to the Pope in making him to remit sinnes properly to make lawes to bind conscience properly as Gods lawes do which is a power equall to Christs so they make him check-mate with Christ. Secondly his Priestly office is giuen to the Masse-priest who by their doctrine hath power to offer a propitiatorie sacrifice for the sinnes of the quicke and dead ye● euery Papist hath a peece of it because euery one of them may satisfie the iustice of God for hi● sins by his owne merit And for his intercession the secōd work of his Priesthood that is dealt among the Saints among whom the Virgin Mary hath the

the good of the Church suffereth seducers in the Church both to exercise the faith and patience of his as also to preuent greater dangers which they might in their secure condition fall into Secondly hence wee see that such hypocrites as these be though they be in the Church yet are they not of it they are no members of that bodie as the Romish Church teacheth for they onely creepe into it The second fault that is laid to their charge is that they are intruders thrusting themselues into the office of teaching not being called thereto but creepe into the calling Whence wee note that it is most necessarie that those who are to teach publikely in the church should bee first called thereunto Reasons First besides the auoiding of this sinne of creeping into the Church it is the order that God hath set in the same that he that is to teach should first be sent Rom. 10.14 And No man taketh this honour that is lawfully to himselfe except he be called as Aaron was Secondly the Ministerie is Gods and not mans because the Minister standeth in Gods roome and speaketh in his name which he can neuer doe truly vnlesse God send him and depute him in his stead Thirdly the Minister must maintaine that which he teacheth vnto which he had neede as in all the parts of his calling of Gods speciall protection for the which hee must bee alwaies instant in prayer which hee can neuer be assured of if he be not perswaded of the truth of his calling Fourthly the people cannot heare with comfort and profit if they bee not perswaded that God hath called the teacher to instruct them Rom. 10.14 How can they heare c. This truth extendeth it selfe also to all other offices as well Ciuill as Ecclesiasticall all which are to bee welded and executed by men lawfully called vnto the same All entrance then into any office in Church or Common-wealth by money fauour of men or any vnlawful meanes is intrusion and such are not called of God but are to be ranged among these seducers who creepe into places and come not in by Gods call or approbation The second adiunct whereby the seducers are described is their estate before God being men of old ordained to this condemnation That is they were before all times locked enrolled or billed vnto condemnation euen as though their names had been set downe in a booke By condemnation is meant iudgement as the particle This doth plainly shew which maketh this the plaine meaning They were of old ordained to this iudgement in this life to trie to exercise and molest the Church of God and so consequently to procure vnto themselues at length their own iust condemnation In which words we are taught first that God keepeth his bookes of Registrie and records in which all things are set downe the persons behauiours and eternall estate of all men which bookes are of three sorts first the booke of his Prouidence containing all particulars of things past present and to come in which the Lord saw the members of Dauid when he was yet vnformed Psal. 139.16 In the same booke the number of the haires of our heads and the falling of sparrowes to the ground are recorded The second booke is of the last iudgement in which the persons and sinnes of all men al enrolled Dan. 7 9.10 The thrones were set vp the ancient of daies did sit thousand thousands ministred vnto him and ●enne thousand thousands stood before him the iudgement was set and the bookes opened Reu. 20.12 I saw all great and small stand before God and the bookes were opened and another booke was opened The third is the booke of life in which are written the names of those who are to be saued Phil. 4.3 Paul saith of Clement and other his fellowe labourers that their names were written in the booke of life Now by these books we may not grossely conceiue materiall bookes such as men note what they would remember in but the counsell election prouidence pleasure and knowledge of God wherein all these things are so certainly set downe as if any man should write them in a booke Out of which wee note two things first that in regard of God there is no chance neither any euent by it in regard of men indeed who know not the causes of things many chances may be but Gods prouidence and chance are contrarie he hauing all things written before him with their causes Secondly that nothing comes to passe without the decree of God no not the wicked actions of men Which God not onely foreseeth but decreeth for this Iude insinuateth saying they were ordained to this iudgement and euen that which is against the will of God commeth not to passe without his will God willing the being of that which he willeth not to effect and though hee esteeme not euill to be good yet hee accounteth it good that euill should be Further where hee saith ordained of old to this condemnation we learne that as God hath before all worlds decreed the electing of some to saluation so he hath decreed the refusall and reiecting of others to condemnation 1. Pet. 2.8 Many were disobedient vnto the which they were euen ordained 1. Thess. 5.9 God hath not ordained you to wrath but to obtaine saluation through Christ shewing that some are ordained to wrath who are not to obtaine saluation through Christ. Rom. 9.22 God is compared to a potter framing vessels of honour and dishonour vessels of mercie and vessels of wrath In the same place I haue loued Iacob and hated Esau that is I haue decreed so to doe For the whole chapter speaketh of Gods counsel vnchangeable decree Ob. If this be so will some say then God dealeth iniustly that absolutely ordaineth some men to condemnation and perdition Ans. We must know that wee are creatures and may not presume to prescribe a law of iustice to the Creator whose will is iustice it selfe whatsoeuer we may conceiue and maketh the things willed good because it is willed and not willed because it is good Secondly though God refuse and reiect men yet hee doth it in most wise order and iust proceeding in these two degrees first hee vouchsafeth to some men the riches of his grace tending to life euerlasting which speciall abundant grace hee denieth to some other passing by them who being left of him vnto themselues fall into sinne Secondly for sin God decreeth iudgement and condemnation so as he doth not simply and absolutely ordaine his creature to hell but in regard of sinne not that sinne is a cause of the decree moouing him vnto it but that hee decreeth not condemnation without respect of sinne and relation vnto it which speech wee neede not feare to speake because the holie Ghost so speaketh Vse First if some men be passed by of God we must humble our selues vnder his mightie hand and with feare and trembling worke our saluation Roman 11.20
