Sonne of Dauid haue mercy vpon vs who euen as Christ bad them beleeued his power and receiued their sight With many other like places in scripture to fortify our weak faith to extinguish infidelity and root out Atheisme throughout the whole body of all Christian churches Wherfore let vs say It is Iesus that we follow he is our master we fear not and not mistrust at euery little tempest of this world when the wicked rise vp against vs Psal. 2. 1. imagining vaine things Peter failed of faith at the beginning of the wind wherby he began to sink but then that the Lords saluation might seem more manifest he cried Lord saue me and he passed safely Heer the Lord made the very floods a sufficient rock to build his church vpon for through his faith he passed them as on the firm ground Now that Iesus was called Christ the true Messiah or annointed whom the Lord annointed with the oile of gladnes aboue his fellowes Heb. 1. 9. foreshewed in all ages from the beginning of the world vntill he came to be annointed the most holy Dan. 9. 24. Neither among men is there any other name giuen vnder the cope of heauen by which we can be saued he being the end of Iubiles or ioyfull yeeres the sealing vp of all prophesies visions miracles and of all ceremonies whom the Lord annointed with glory and honor Heb. 2. 7. and set him ouer the work of his own hands The Paschall lambe being now offered vp once for all Ioh. 1. 29. He was called the annointed Ioh. 3. 6. bicause it was the manner of the Iewes coronation and election both of kings and priests it pertained vnto him for he was their lawfull king apparent whom the wise men from the East visited to worship at Ierusalem Math. 2. 1. saying Where is he that is borne king of the Iewes Mich. 5. 2. Thou Bethleem art little to be among the thousands of Iuda yet out of thee shall com the ruler in Israel whose goings foorth were from the beginning euerlasting that is to say out of the house of bread shall proceed the bread of life food for our soules vnto euerlasting life Our fathers did eat Manna and died but whoso eateth of this Manna shall liue for euer Psal. 110. 4. As he was also high sacrificer after the order of Melchizedek it pertained vnto him but the Iewes receiued him not as king bicause he was Iosephs sonne and a Carpenter and came not like a king in white raiment neither as a sacrificer bicause he was to imitate Melchizedek in his priesthood and not Aaron Neither did their blinde harts conceiue that the law should be changed and dreamed of none other priesthood but Aarons when as in deed Melchizedek was a figure of the true Messiah as in a large prophecy is expounded Isai. 9. 6. by the prince of peace for Melchizedek was king of Salem Gen. 14. 18. Sem and Melchizedek are both one who for his vprightnes might be called the king of righteousnes Malchi-zedek Hebr. 7. 1. and for his antiquity without father and without mother without beginning or end of daies His birth was vnserchable bicause he was born before the flood and his end of daies not seen bicause he out-liued all his owne posterity of the next age Therefore saith Noah Blessed be the God of Sem Gen. 9. 26. and God will perswade Iapheth to dwell in the house of Sem. So the priesthood of Melchizedek remained in Sem that had this blessing of God Gen. 14. 19. and he blessed Abraham Gen. 14. 20. who paid him tithe of all Thus much of Iesus which was called Christ in whom we also beleeue of whom his disciples first receiued the cognizance of Christianitie in Antiochia where they were presently persecuted by Herod Such Herods haue been euer vntill this day but they are such whose darknes vanquisheth their light Let vs therfore be euer glad to say We haue found the Messiah Ioh. 1. 41. which is the Christ. To this end therfore God sent his onely begotten sonne that whosoeuer beleeueth in him should not perish but haue euerlasting life He it is that declareth God Ioh. 1. 18. for he is in the bosom of his father for this Christ is sent a sauiour to the beleeuers of saluation but to the vnbeleeuers a speedy iudge of condemnation which shall be thus they saw the light and being ashamed of their ill works Gen. 3. 8. hid themselues in darknes the mother of all errors and vntruthes for truth loueth the light and the light doth glorify it HIS ONLY SONNE Math. 3. 17. This is my welbeloued sonne in whom I am well pleased Psal. 118. 22. this is the head corner stone that ioineth togither the building of Iapheth and Sem. Iohn 3. 35. The father loueth the sonne and hath giuen all things into his hands He that beleeueth in the sonne hath euerlasting life Iohn 7. 38. and out of his belly shall gush floods of liuing waters Deut. 18. 15. but he that obeieth not the sonne shall not see life and the wrath of God abideth in him Iohn 4. 14. this is the well of waters springing vp vnto eternall life that whosoeuer drinketh therof should not thirst againe Now to wit what the thing is that we worship and beleeue in It is the only sonne of God begotten of his father before all worlds spiritually for God is spirit and to be worshipped in spirit and truth And as the Iewes beleeued that this Messiah the son of God should com so we must know and beleeue that he is com they refused him in the flesh and we may not plead IGNORAMVS in spirit let our spirits then be guided with knowledge otherwise our beleef is no beleef for no credit can be giuen to an vncertain hope Wherfore Iohn 5. 39. let vs search the scriptures for in them we thinke to haue eternall life and it is they that testifie of him otherwise but a few by ignorance can be excused Rom. 15. 4. bicause these things are written for our learning and aedification As the father raiseth vp from death and quickeneth

so the son also quickeneth whom he will And the father iudgeth not but referreth all iudgement to his sonne bicause all should honor the sonne as the father and they that honor not the sonne as the father honoreth not the father that sent him So whosoeuer heareth his word and beleeueth in him that sent him shall not com vnto condemnation but hath passed from death to life for as the father hath life in himselfe so hath the sonne To beleeue cannot be to seek honor one of another but of God alone and his son Iesus Christ for when Moses stroke the rock Exod. 17. 6. seeking honor of the children of Israel saying Hear now ye rebels shall we bring you water out of the rock Here for not sanctifieng the Lord in the presence of the Israelites and for honoring themselues in the Lords miracle both Moses and Aaron were cut off from the hope they had to see the land of promise If Moses being a faithfull leader of the Lords owne host and an approoued seruant of the mighty God Iehoua fell by disobedience into arrogancy Exod. 17. seeking his owne honor more than Gods and was so seuerely punished oh that men would but think how fearful a sentence that was by which he was depriued of forty yeeres hope and the fauour of so long trauel which was so sore in the wildernes How much more terrible shall our iudgement be if any way we decline or fall away from a sincere and perfect beleef which we haue had in God the father and his sonne Iesus Christ or if we beleeue not the word that testifieth of him and through which we see him daily Moses had but a meer hope of things to come which things we haue seen through faith and we are strongly to abide therin giuing all honor to the sonne as to the father in whom we beleeue by whom we liue haue our being Iohn 6. 37. This only sonne of God Iesus Christ is the bread of life the true sabaoth or rest the very top and end of Iubiles let vs study to enter into this rest His meat is to doe his fathers will and let our sustenance be to follow him and doe his will and let vs not labor only for the meat that perisheth but for the meat that dureth euerlastingly which the sonne of man shall giue vnto vs for him hath God the father sealed and the work of God is to beleeue in him whom he sent his sonne This is the rock that followed the host and the rock wherupon the Lord hath founded his church this is Gods rock and the rock of the All-sufficient Iohn 10. 20. he and the father is one And whosoeuer liueth and beleeueth in him shall neuer dy Iohn 11 26. he shall gather togither into one the children of God from all corners of the earth by his death and passion He is the sonne of God that taketh away the sinnes of the world Nomb. 21. 9. this is he that was to be lifted vp Iohn 3. 14. and exalted aboue all heauens Lord who beleeueth our report and vnto whom is thine arme reuealed And Lord who shall dwell in thy tabernacle Psal. 15. and rest vpon thy holy hill Euen he that leadeth an vncorrupt life and doth the thing that is right For this is the vine and his father is the husbandman and the branch that beareth not fruit in him he cutteth off and euery one that beareth fruit he purgeth that it may bring foorth more So must we abide in him and he in vs for as the branch cannot beare fruit except it be in the vine no more can we except we abide and dwell in him Let vs therfore pray for the peace which is in him for the peace of Iesus Christ the sonne of God is greater than the afflictions of the whole world Let vs be of good comfort Iohn 16. 13. he hath already conquered the world Psal. 2. and let vs kisse the son least he be angry and so we perish euerlastingly for if his wrath be kindled yea but a little blessed are all they that put their whole trust and confidence in him for the father hath put all things in subiection vnder his feet Psal. 2. and giuen him the vtmost parts of the earth for his possession OVR LORD He is the soueraigne Lord of the whole earth and inspireth the harts of kings and princes according to his wisedome hee aduaunceth the humble and putteth down the mighty from their seat he filleth the hungry with good things and the rich he sendeth empty away He is the faithful steward that giueth his fathers people meat in due season he blesseth all them that call vpon him in his fathers name Psal. 7. This is the welbeloued Salomon the prince of wisedom whose daughters goings are beutifull the ioints of her thighes like iewels the work of a cunning man her nauell as a round cup full of liquor her belly as an heap of wheat compassed about with lillies her brests as two yong roses that are twins her neck as a tower of Iuory her eies as the fish-pooles in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rhabbim her nose as the tower of Lebanon that looketh toward Damascus her head as scarlet and her haire as purple He is the spirituall Salomon his faire daughter Psal. 8. the Church which also is compared to a vineyard that bringeth foorth fruit euen a thousand folde He is the Lord that the prophet Dauid spake of and whose victory he foresaw Psal. 110. saying The Lord said vnto my Lord sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enimies thy footstoole This is the horn of our saluation in whom our fathers trusted and were counted iust Hebr. 11. as it is manifest in the epistle to the Hebrues where a whole chapter is spent in reciting their faith the learning wherof I refer to the diligence of the reader seeing it is a full record of all the ancient fathers beleef This is the Lord of al mankind for he hath purchased vs all by the offering vp of his body and sheading of his blood to free vs from these links of sinne wherin we are intangled through Adam And therfore he hath now full power to say Math. 25. Com ye blessed of my father and inherit euerlasting life or go ye cursed into vtter darknes where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth And as we were then bound with the chaines of sinne growing in our carnall bodies stirring vs vp to do the will of the flesh so are we at this day being rid out of those bands by the death and passion of our Lord bound likewise to him in spirit to serue and obey him as obedient seruants looking for no reward by desert but by his meer fauour and mercy inheritance with him of life eternal Therfore is he Lord ouer kingdoms and nations and there is no higher power than that which the
