Iesus came to stop the mouthes that is to say to make men astonied that they shoulde not be able to reply as we sée the Ganderlike gagling and iangling Infidelles and faithlesse doe Now it is true that there is such dealing and they cannot come to honour our Lorde Iesus Christ because as they thinke they haue some reason to say to the contrary Howbeit we are héere told that if wée did consider wherfore it was that our Lorde Iesus came and what the ende and fruite of his death and passion which hée suffered for vs was that then our mouthes shoulde bée stopped For when the Scripture speaketh after this sort it bringeth vs to a consideration of the sure established and setled woorkes of God For so long as our mouthes are open as I haue alreadie saide wée will enter into the cause and so reason as that God shall bee shut cleane out of the doores and whatsoeuer hée hath done shall be naught set by But when it is saide that euerie mouth shall holde it peace and be silent before the Lorde this sheweth that all our reasons should bée daunted and emprisoned yea euen to bridle our tongues that we might quietly cōfesse that God is to be glorified in the person of his onely Sonne And if this be saide of Princes what shall the common people doe Wée are therefore throughly to consider of the order which the Prophet héere setteth downe For hée giueth vs this animaduersion or warning that our Lorde Iesus Christ must be as it were vgly and yll fauoured and be refused of the worlde Wherefore since the holy Ghost thus warneth vs Let vs not thinke it straunge nor yet bée carelesse to embrase him with a liuely faith although his Crosse which is a detestable Gallow trée in the sight of men might withdraw vs and altogether estraunge vs from him yet let not vs bée slacke in séeking after our whole glorie to wit in Iesus Christ crucified Moreouer let vs not stay our selues vpō his suffring wherby we might conceiue a great shame in him whervnto he willingly submitted himselfe for vs But let vs ioyne his resurrection and his death together and vnderstand that although he was crucified yet that hée sitteth as Lieftenant to God his Father exercising the most excellent gouernment hauing all power giuen him aswell in heauen as in earth And here we sée why it is said that he shall bée exalted In verie déed that he was lifted vp exalted vnto the gallowes was in the sight of men a shamefull thing howbeit he mocked and beguiled the Deuil set himself against all the world in saying that hée should be liuely exalted and when he was put to this shame that euery mans tongue walked vomited out their blasphemies villainies against him yet sitteth hée in his throne as we haue alredie declared out of the place of S. Paule Colos 2. 15. And in an other place hée namely saieth that the Crosse although it was before time a Gallowes full of shame was now as it were a Charyot of tryumph and that Iesus Christ hath not only ouercome the Deuill therein but also hath shewed that we might nowe glorifie our selues forsomuch as we are freed from all condemnation that sinne hath no more power ouer vs and that al the deuils in hel are altogether cut off from all kinde of pretense whatsoeuer against vs. We sée then in summe that we must ascend vp by fayth vnto the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ to the ende we might not be ashamed to séeke for our saluatiō in his Crosse our blessing in his curse our life in his death our glory in his shame and our ioy in his anguishes out of which came water and blood And this is the summe which we haue to consider of in this place Luk. 22.44 Nowe the Prophet namely saith That he will bedeaw or sprinkle In very déede this saying by a similitude signifieth also to speake fayre But when we shall consider better of the matter we shall finde that the naturall meaning of the Prophet in these wordes That Iesus Christ shall bedeaw all nations is this to wit that although hée be a dry and fruitlesse blocke yet shall all the worlde be bedeawed through his power and vertue To be short he sheweth that God wil work after an incomprehensible maner and that the Iewes should not looke for any worldly helpe but beleeue that God will surpasse all mens thoughtes and imaginations For when we are told of myracles our sences must needes fayle vs and when we are tolde of misteries that is to say secrets we must vnderstand that we are not sufficient Iudges nor Arbiters or dayes men to say it must néedes be so But let vs worship the thing that cannot sinke into our brayne nor which we cannot finde out the reason of And thus much we haue in summe to consider of Now this admonition apperteineth to vs for as I haue alredie saide we should abide to be bedewed with our Lord Iesus Christ and although he hath appeared to be as one that were fruitlesse and that there can be nothing found in him worthy reputation yet when hée shall offer himself vnto vs and come néere vs let vs not thrust him back through misbeliefe but rather giue him frée accesse through fayth And this is in summe the thing which we are to learne out of this doctrine of the Prophet Moreouer hée saieth that all the world shall be bedeawed with our Lord Iesus Christ to wit by the preaching of the Gospell For they saieth hée who neuer heard any speech of him shall heare of him and they which neuer vnderstood shall vnderstand of him Héere the Prophet amplifieth his purpose shewing that God the Father would send our Lorde Iesus Christ not onely to bée a Sauiour vnto the Iewes although hée was liuely promised vnto them but also vnto the whole world Now to proue the meaning of the Prophet to be thus Rom. 15.21 S. Paul himself saith as much in his Epistle to the Romans applying this saying vnto his being sent into straunge countries hauing trauelled here and there filling all nations with the Gospell in such places as God was neuer spoken of preaching not only vnto the Iewes but also vnto the Gentiles Thus we sée the drift of the Prophete and this place ought to bée as a keye to open vnto vs the kingdome God For if Iesus Christ had not béene promised but onely to the ligne of Abraham what had wée béene the better for him For although hée was a Sauiour and Redéemer yet is this nothing to vs we haue neither part nor portion herein But because it was tolde of so long time before hée was sent that hée should bedeaw all people Forsooth because that they which neuer before vnderstood might vnderstand and that they to whom it was neuer before told might heare Let vs vnderstande that our God had adopted vs when as Iesus Christ
