Isa 57. ch 66. Certain reasons according to the Scriptures of truth proving that Christ the Messias is come and made manifest and the word that made all things became flesh according as it was prophecied of him by the true Prophets of God formerly that the stumbling-block that lyes in the way of the Jewes or others they may see come out of the stumbling touching Christs coming who do not believe that he is come but looks for his coming as the Jews did when they persecuted him put him to death nigh Jerusalem but did not believe that was he because he came not according to their carnal expectations and now his coming and knowledge is to be felt and in the spirit and glory of his Father as he was known among the Saints who after they had known Christ after the flesh knew him so no more but after the spirit c. 1 Of the conception and birth of Jesus who is called Christ. THere was in the City of Galilee named Nazareth a certain virgin named Mary who was espoused to a just man named Joseph of the house of David this Virgin was found with child of the Holy Ghost or spirit before that Joseph knew her by the

world and through him was more way made for his powerful truth and for the spreading of his fathers name that many more came to believe then ever did in the former ages when they slew and killed the holy Prophets though he was despised by Rulers and rejected of men yet all these things were fore-known of God and were done that the Scriptures were fulfilled Read Isa 35.5 chap. 52.15 Mat 8. and chap. 9. Luke 4. 5. Touching the suffering and death of Christ NOw after the Jewes had long laid wait against Christ but could not put him to death untill his testimony was fulfilled though often they sought to have taken away his life but had not power till his time was come that these things that were written of him might be fulfilled one Judas Iscariot who for a time followed and owned Christ who was numbred among the eleaven other disciples he betrayed Christ sould him into the hands of them that sought to take away his life for 30. pieces of silver Mat. 26.14 Mark 14.10 Luke 22. thus the prophets words were fulfilled He that eateth bread with 〈◊〉 hath lift up his heel against me Psal 41.10 and they weighed for my price 30. pieces of silver and the Lord said unto me Cast it unto the potter Zachariah 11.12 and they bought with this price the potters field cal led the field of blood and Judas the traytor was so smitten for what he had done that he hanged himself there came two false witnesses against Christ and the people did spit in Christs face and buffetted him and others smote him with the palmes of their hands thus came the Prophets words to passe I gave my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting Isai 50.6 And the chief Priests and Elders of the people took councel together against Jesus to put him to death Mat. 27. Mar. 15. Luke 22 Joh 18. Psal 2.2 and afterward had him forth unto a place called Golvotha or Caluary nigh unto Jerusalem and they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall which he did but taste off then they crucified him and thus came the Prophets words to passe they gave me also gall for my meat and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink Ps 79.21 and when they had crucified him they parted his garment casting lots upon them what every man should take and this was according to the Prophets words Ps 22.18 and when Jesus had said I thirst knowing that all things were now accomplished that the Scripture might be fulfilled they filled a spunge with vinegar and put it upon hysop and put it to his mouth and when he had received it he said It is finished or done and he bowed his head and gave up the Ghost Ioh. 19.29 thus he finished his Testimony faithfully through his deep suffering and gave his life into his Fathers hands a ransom for as many as believed in him through whom faith is offered unto all men and moreover he was numbered among transgressors for he suffered on the Crosse between two Malefactours who then suffered on each side of him Isai 53.12 and one Pilate put a Title over Christs head in Latin Greek and Hebrew where he suffered the title was Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews and the souldiers brake the legs of those that were crucified with Christ but did not break his legs and this was according to the Scripture touching the typical Passeover Exod. 12.46 Num. 9.12 Joh. 19.
