as y e olde testament figured by shadows and sawe before by prophetye they bothe myghte be iustlye suspected and no forse though both of the were denyed And for a probacyon let vs take the experyence of it in this matter concernynge the humanyte of Christ and that it toke hys begynnynge in and of the holye virgine by the operation of the holye Ghost The Aungel sayd vnto the blessed vyrgine Luce the fyrste Beholde thou shalte conceyue in thy wombe bare a sonne the whyche thynges S. Mathewe expresseth thus Thou shaltbe great and bare a sonne Marke the whole state of the scripture and the words here rehersed to conceyue and bare a child and ye shal alwaies fynd it is none othere thynge but that the mother shalbe a verye true and natural parent wyth partycypatyon of here own substauuce with her child Therfore Sayncte Mathewe in the fryste Chapiter to helpe this dout amonge other thynges touchynge the genealogie and stocke of Christ sayth thus speakynge of the blessed virgin Mary Of whom is born christ and doeth not say by whome or through whome Christ passed The same worde Of vseth S. Paule twysse to the Romains and ones to the Galathians y e whyche worde he woulde not haue vsed so manye tymes incase Christ hathe taken no substaunce of hys mother but passed through her without participation of her nature as y e water throughe a conduit To the Romaynes in the first chapter he saith thus which was borne of y e sede of Dauid as touching the fleshe And in the in the. 9. Chapter Christ after the fleshe is of the fathers in y e fourthe to the Galathiās he sayth whē the tyme was fulfylled God sende hys sonne borne of a woman What can be more playnlye sayde to proue oure sauiour Jesus Christe to haue taken of the virgyne the substaunce of humane nature Namelye because the newe Testamente the authorytes therof doeth so Godlye corresponde and answere to the propheties of the olde lawe Gene. 22. 26. In thy sede sayth Moses and not in an other sede or in a heauenlye sede The same doeth S. Paul repet saying Christe is of the fathers as concernynge to the flesh Mark y e word Of it shal destroy y t fond opiniō of them y t say true it is we graūt y e Christ is of the sede of Dauid yet it foloweth not he shuld take of the nature and substaunce of the sacrate virgin Note well y e wordes and they shall satisfye the. Unto this obieccion and other I wyll answere vnto here after in the ende of the oration Now to the proue of our proposytion reade the fyrst of Saint Luke and marke the gretinge of Elizabeth vnto the holy vyrgyne beyng great Blessyd said she is the fruyte of thy wombe Thys holye womanne callyth Christ the fruite but wherof from whens had she this fruite of heauen or othere where no treulye but it was the fruyte of her owne belye then of her owne substaunce or else it were a manifest lye to call Christ the fruyte of her belye Nether I thynke there is no man that would call a thing the fruite of a tre that neuer had the nature of a tre What man was euer so founde to saye that a Pere were the fruyt of a Chery tre Or who is he that can say that Jesus of Nazareth takyng his humanite frō heauen or of some other thinge besyde hys mother can truely call him y e fruit of hys mothers wombe The scripture sayeth Christe is her sonne and she is hys mothere not a faynyd mother but a true and verye naturall mother So sayeth saynct Mathew in the fyrst Chapt. She broughte forth her sonne And so the virgyne callyd hym Luke the second Sonne why haste y u done thus vnto vs. Belyue the scryptures and pondre accordingly the words and sentences therof Math. 1. Luce. 3. Jo. 2. 19. One place more there is in S. Paule wryten in the second to the Ebrew which is thys for asmuche then as the chyldren were partakers of fleshe and bloude he also hymselfe lykewyse toke part wyth thē And in the same place he sayeth He toke the sede of Abrahā not of the Angels so that he muste be lyke vnto his brothers in all thynges This place apperteining to the natiuite of Christe let vs consydere dilygently the wordes of S. Paules oration how he prouyth Christ to haue oure nature whiche he toke of hys mother If it be so sayeth S. Paule that the chyldren that is to say men be partakers of fleshe and bloude Christe because he myghte destroye hym that hath y e dominion of death by the death in his owne body was made partaker of y e same to wyte of fleshe and bloude Here he vsythe thre wordes Lykewyse Partaker Of the same Reade the text and note the wordes ¶ Fyrst it is out of doute that oure fleshe is of the nature and substaunce of a woman Nowe sayeth S. Paule Christe lykewyse that is to saye after the same maner toke fleshe as hys brothers I saye not lyke vnto vs for we receaue oure nature wyth synne and in synne and by naturall coniunccion Christ receaued his humanyte of hys mother wythoute synne by the operacyon of the holye ghoste But to Saynct Paules wordes like as man taketh his nature of hys parentes so lykewyse toke Christe hys humane nature of the blessyd vyrgyne or else S. Paules symyle proued nothynge ¶ The second word of Saynt Paule sayth that he was made participant or partaker Now there is no participatyon nor can be except it be of such thinges as is commune betwene them that be partakers of one thynge It cannot be therfore that Christe hath taken other fleshe then hys brothers had whych was of the sede of man Forther he addeth Christ toke the sede of Abraham and not of Angelles that is asmuche to say Abrahams fleshe verely humane and not any body or flesh celestiall or made of the ayer In this place S. Paule sheweth playnely from whens and of whom Christ toke his humanite In the same chapter S. Paule sayeth Christe is made lyke vnto hys brothers in all thynges ¶ Howe can thys I praye you be true in case he neuer toke hys humane nature of anye of hys brothers substaunce The whyche thynge if ye take from Christ there is nothinge can be more vnlyke then Christe and vs that be hys brothers In the last reason S. Paule sayth that Christ was tempted that he myght succour such as were tēpted Now there is no fleshe cā be tempted but mans fleshe And there is no mannes fleshe but hath taken his begynnyng of y e substaunce of man except it were Adam the fyrste man that was made of the Earth Gen. 1. Farther howe can he helpe vs as S. Paule sayth beyng in an other flesh from vs. If he haue an other fleshe then we haue I except synne nowe mortalyte how or wherin is
