eternity_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v necessary_a indeed_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v before_o he_o can_v create_v the_o world_n but_o if_o we_o seek_v the_o length_n of_o time_n we_o shall_v find_v

notwithstanding_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n be_v to_o be_v note_v not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o we_o but_o even_o as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n thus_o then_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o essence_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v essential_a in_o god_n appertain_v both_o to_o the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o son_n as_o likewise_o that_o whatsoever_o simple_o appertain_v unto_o god_n be_v common_a both_o to_o the_o one_o and_o to_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o this_o hinder_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o that_o every_o

with_o our_o very_a nature_n this_o right_a of_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o world_n be_v confer_v unto_o he_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o thereby_o may_v recover_v that_o again_o for_o we_o which_o we_o have_v lose_v in_o adam_n for_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n appoint_a man_n as_o heir_n of_o all_o his_o benefit_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v his_o son_n but_o the_o first_o man_n fall_v away_o

by_o good_a right_n to_o enjoy_v these_o blessing_n from_o god_n when_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a and_o universal_a heir_n receive_v we_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o for_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v he_o become_v heir_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v enrich_v we_o with_o his_o benefit_n yea_o the_o apostle_n himself_o do_v adorn_v he_o with_o this_o very_a title_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o without_o he_o we_o be_v naked_a and_o empty_a of_o all_o good_a thing_n whereas_o we_o have_v translate_v of_o all_o thing_n the_o greek_a word_n may_v

rather_o interpret_v it_o of_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o it_o signify_v that_o we_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o lawful_a possession_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o of_o all_o creature_n till_o we_o come_v to_o be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n verse_n 3._o who_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o ingrave_v form_n of_o his_o person_n and_o bear_v up_o all_o thing_n by_o

be_v something_o improper_a yet_o be_v it_o no_o absurdity_n that_o these_o thing_n visible_a to_o our_o sense_n shall_v be_v apply_v unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v teach_v thereby_o what_o we_o be_v to_o seek_v in_o christ_n and_o what_o profit_n he_o bring_v unto_o us._n for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o this_o place_n lead_v we_o not_o to_o the_o seek_v out_o of_o vain_a speculation_n but_o to_o learn_v therein_o a_o true_a and_o sure_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o apply_v these_o title_n of_o christ_n to_o our_o profit_n for_o it_o be_v for_o our_o sake_n that_o they_o be_v thus_o attribute_v unto_o he_o do_v we_o hear_v then_o that_o the_o son_n be_v call_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n let_v we_o thus_o

of_o we_o do_v dispute_v over_o subtle_o and_o to_o no_o purpose_n because_o they_o understand_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n for_o he_o do_v not_o here_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o show_v what_o likeness_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n have_v within_o himself_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v his_o meaning_n be_v to_o edify_v our_o faith_n with_o fruit_n and_o profit_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o god_n be_v no_o otherwise_o manifest_v unto_o we_o but_o in_o christ_n for_o so_o infinite_a be_v that_o brightness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n that_o our_o eye_n be_v dazzle_v therewith_o till_o such_o time_n as_o he_o shine_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o unless_o god_n show_v we_o his_o brightness_n in_o christ_n we_o shall_v be_v utter_o blind_v with_o the_o behold_n of_o that_o light_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a philosophy_n namely_o to_o learn_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a feel_n and_o certain_a experience_n of_o faith_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v as_o touch_v the_o other_o word_n the_o ingrave_v form_n as_o i_o have_v say_v thus_o than_o the_o greek_a word_n which_o be_v translate_v brightness_n signify_v in_o this_o place_n no_o other_o thing_n than_o a_o visible_a or_o shine_a light_n which_o our_o eye_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v and_o the_o greek_a word_n which_o be_v translate_v image_n signify_v a_o lively_a form_n of_o that_o substance_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o invisible_a by_o the_o first_o word_n than_o we_o learn_v that_o out_o of_o christ_n we_o can_v find_v no_o light_n but_o rather_o mere_a darkness_n for_o although_o god_n be_v the_o only_a light_n wherewith_o we_o must_v be_v enlighten_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n whereby_o he_o shed_v the_o same_o into_o we_o but_o by_o this_o splendancie_n of_o his_o son_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v by_o the_o second_o word_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o god_n be_v true_o and_o full_o know_v in_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v no_o dark_a or_o shadowish_a image_n of_o he_o but_o the_o lively_a ingrave_v form_n resemble_v he_o natural_o as_o the_o money_n resemble_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o coin_n wherewithal_o it_o be_v stamp_v nay_o the_o apostle_n say_v more_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n be_v as_o it_o be_v engrave_v in_o

for_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o can_v not_o die_v now_o howsoever_o he_o touch_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n but_o in_o few_o word_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o these_o few_o he_o do_v express_v
