that_o these_o thing_n may_v somewhat_o more_o easy_o be_v understand_v i_o will_v join_v hereunto_o a_o similitude_n which_o the_o catholic_n divine_v in_o the_o old_a church_n have_v use_v man_z

everlasting_a life_n which_o he_o by_o his_o own_o death_n have_v purchase_v for_o us._n of_o these_o five_o benefit_n whereby_o christ_n perform_v the_o whole_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o perfection_n i_o will_v brief_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n adjoine_v a_o more_o plentiful_a explication_n the_o first_o benefit_n concern_v the_o first_o benefit_n of_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o give_v unto_o we_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o salvation_n which_o by_o the_o sharpness_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n or_o reason_n we_o be_v by_o

wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n compare_v to_o this_o wsedome_n be_v none_o at_o all_o or_z as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v compare_v one_o small_a drop_n with_o the_o whole_a ocean_n or_o a_o small_a gravel_n

thing_n humane_a to_o that_o which_o be_v divine_a this_o heavenly_a wisdom_n namely_o the_o most_o sacred_a gospel_n be_v that_o perfect_a wisdom_n which_o we_o boast_n ourselves_o to_o have_v of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesu_n christ_n the_o second_o benefit_n touch_v the_o second_o kind_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o take_v away_o the_o heap_n of_o our_o sin_n wherewith_o we_o be_v oppress_v john_n baptist_n preach_v joh._n 1_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o jesus_n will_v

of_o john_n concern_v christ_n i_o will_v here_o under_o set_v down_o the_o question_n which_o the_o word_n themselves_o do_v minister_v first_o why_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o lamb_n and_o wherefore_o he_o be_v surname_v the_o lamb_n of_o god._n second_o what_o this_o lamb_n do_v three_o for_o who_o cause_n he_o do_v 1._o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o lamb_n the_o first_o be_v that_o john_n may_v put_v the_o jew_n and_o we_o in_o mind_n of_o both_o these_o thing_n namely_o of_o the_o shadow_n which_o go_v before_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o john_n

on_o either_o part_n the_o pharise_n go_v about_o this_o business_n not_o because_o they_o will_v learn_v but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o quarrel_v and_o to_o destroy_v but_o christ_n by_o his_o question_n intend_v this_o thing_n that_o he_o may_v thorough_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o possession_n of_o assure_a salvation_n let_v we_o hear_v therefore_o what_o be_v do_v on_o either_o side_n christ_n demand_v what_o think_v you_o of_o christ_n who_o son_n be_v he_o they_z faith_n unto_o he_o 22_o the_o son_n of_o david_n this_o answer_n they_o give_v because_o they_o know_v y_o t_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n according_a to_o y_z e_z promise_v make_v unto_o he_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o suffice_v not_o to_o the_o true_a know_v of_o christ_n christ_n by_o this_o question_n infer_v another_o by_o the_o which_o he_o indevore_v to_o lead_v they_o into_o a_o full_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n therefore_o he_o say_v how_o then_o do_v david_n in_o spirit_n call_v he_o lord_n say_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o my_o lord_n sit_v thou_o on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n the_o footestole_n of_o thy_o foot_n if_o david_n therefore_o call_v he_o lord_n how_o be_v he_o then_o his_o son_n as_o if_o christ_n will_v say_v the_o father_n be_v superior_a to_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v superior_a to_o the_o servant_n and_o the_o servant_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o lord_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o david_n acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n to_o who_o with_o all_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n he_o whole_o submit_v himself_o here_o if_o the_o jew_n have_v admit_v to_o counsel_v the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v of_o christ_n and_o have_v a_o little_a while_n consider_v with_o themselves_o what_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n they_o have_v easy_o find_v this_o answer_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n which_o he_o take_v unto_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god._n as_o far_o forth_o therefore_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n he_o be_v in_o appearance_n base_a and_o poor_a but_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n he_o be_v lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n to_o who_o david_n must_v give_v place_n and_o humble_o bow_v his_o knee_n yea_o of_o he_o only_o and_o by_o this_o only_a one_o receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n and_o life_n everlasting_a of_o this_o christ_n his_o lord_n david_n speak_v in_o the_o psalm_n 51._o where_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v purge_v i_o with_o hisope_n and_o i_o shall_v be_v clean_o thou_o shall_v wash_v i_o and_o i_o be_v white_a than_o snow_n likewise_o psal_n 130._o if_o thou_o lord_n will_v mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o o_o

the_o humane_a nature_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o he_o but_o after_o the_o divine_a nature_n very_a god_n from_o everlasting_a after_o this_o manner_n christ_n by_o the_o question_n propound_v by_o he_o will_v reduce_v the_o jew_n to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n wherein_o as_o i_o have_v say_v consist_v eternal_a life_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o salvation_n as_o paul_n teach_v 1._o corin._n 1._o where_o he_o say_v for_o much_o as_o the_o world_n know_v not_o god_n through_o wisdom_n that_o be_v to_o say_v through_o understanding_n and_o reason_n natural_o ingraff_v in_o man_n by_o god_n in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o marvelous_a work_n of_o god_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o he_o it_o please_v god_n by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v to_o save_v those_o which_o beeleeve_v for_o the_o jew_n require_v sign_n and_o the_o greek_n seek_v wisdom_n but_o we_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v unto_o the_o jew_n a_o offence_n and_o unto_o the_o greek_n foolishness_n but_o unto_o both_o jew_n and_o greek_n which_o be_v call_v we_o preach_v christ_n the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god._n paul_n in_o this_o place_n dissever_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n or_o man_n wisdom_n from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god._n for_o in_o that_o that_o god_n send_v his_o son_n bear_v of_o a_o woman_n make_v bond_n unto_o the_o law_n and_o subject_v to_o most_o bitter_a passion_n and_o death_n it_o seem_v unto_o man_n not_o wisdom_n but_o foolishness_n forasmuch_o as_o god_n by_o his_o omnipotency_n can_v easy_o find_v another_o way_n to_o save_v mankind_n but_o it_o seem_v far_o otherwise_o unto_o god_n yea_o that_o which_o man_n esteem_v foolishness_n that_o god_n esteem_v and_o account_v for_o wisdom_n but_o that_o we_o may_v more_o full_o understande_v these_o thing_n let_v we_o seek_v us._n the_o foundation_n of_o this_o the_o so_o wonderful_a counsel_n of_o god_n whereupon_o we_o may_v build_v safe_o although_o god_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n can_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o to_o attempt_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o justice_n and_o glory_n of_o his_o majesty_n divine_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o which_o all_o angel_n aswell_o good_a as_o evil_a and_o all_o people_n yea_o and_o all_o creature_n shall_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n just_a and_o praise_v worthy_a 2._o saying_n glory_n be_v to_o god_n on_o high_a for_o even_o as_o any_o king_n or_o

too_o much_o have_v be_v grant_v to_o mercy_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o find_v such_o a_o way_n to_o save_v man_n that_o these_o four_o property_n in_o god_n without_o the_o which_o god_n

and_o perfect_n wisdom_n such_o a_o secret_a purpose_n please_v god_n therefore_o that_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n shall_v take_v unto_o he_o man_n nature_n and_o dye_v to_o the_o end_n that_o who_o so_o believe_v in_o he_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n and_o life_n everlasting_a so_o that_o if_o god_n have_v use_v his_o omnipotency_n and_o justice_n he_o have_v for_o ever_o condemn_v all_o man_n

man_n be_v one_o christ_n but_o why_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o mediator_n shall_v be_v one_o person_n and_o not_o two_o as_o there_o be_v in_o he_o two_o distinct_a nature_n there_o be_v many_o weighty_a reason_n certain_a of_o the_o chief_a of_o which_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o note_v in_o this_o place_n first_o our_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n must_v be_v one_o person_n that_o he_o may_v make_v god_n and_o man_n one_z therefore_o he_o be_v join_v to_o the_o father_n by_o his_o true_a god_n head_n &_o unto_o man_n by_o true_a manhood_n that_o so_o he_o may_v couple_v both_o together_o the_o second_o cause_n the_o mediator_n shall_v bring_v nothing_o to_o pass_v between_o the_o party_n at_o variance_n if_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o one_o and_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o wherefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o mediator_n by_o a_o certain_a necessity_n shall_v be_v join_v to_o both_o party_n to_o god_n therefore_o who_o by_o our_o sin_n be_v offend_v our_o mediator_n be_v join_v by_o true_a divinity_n and_o unto_o man_z he_o be_v associate_v by_o true_a humanity_n that_o through_o the_o society_n which_o he_o have_v with_o both_o part_n he_o may_v

must_v needs_o be_v say_v he_o that_o the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o nigh_o affinity_n to_o both_o part_n must_v reduce_v both_o into_o friendship_n and_o concord_n and_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n shall_v take_v man_n unto_o he_o and_o man_n shall_v yield_v over_o himself_o unto_o god_n and_o theodoretus_n say_v even_o as_o he_o 1._o which_o

be_v break_v the_o three_o cause_n if_o the_o mediator_n be_v not_o one_o person_n then_o the_o work_n of_o the_o redemption_n wrought_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a price_n for_o sin_n through_o which_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n be_v offend_v for_o death_n be_v due_a debt_n for_o sin_n but_o pure_a god_n can_v not_o taste_v death_n neither_o man_n

the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n therefore_o take_v man_n nature_n unto_o he_o into_o the_o unity_n of_o person_n that_o the_o work_v do_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n may_v be_v of_o infinite_a
