more a great deale then they were among the Iewes vnder Annas Caiphas For the reading of the holy scripture which then florished is not only vanished away vnder the Popes Gouernment but is also driuen out of the Churches with Fyer and Swoorde sauinge that they singe in scorne what they list them selues in an vnknowen tongue S. But wee to whom the truth of the Gospell is reuealed ought after the ensample of Christe to frequet holy assemblies to cleaue vnto the worde of GOD for euer and to follow good and pollitique order And stoode vp to reade S. It is meete that there should bee some Order 1. Cor. 14.40 that all thinges may bee done decently and in order as the Apostell teacheth For if euery one were permitted to reade coÌ„fusion must needes follow Wherefore wee see that Order was obserued there is no doubt but they which purposed to reade craued audience C. And Christe stode vp to reade not onely to the ende audience mighte bee geuen him the better but also in signe of reuerence For the maiesty of the Scripture deserueth to bee modestly and reuerently handled of the Professors of the same 17. And there was deliuered to him a Booke of the Prophet Esayas when he had opened the booke hee founde the place where it was written And there was delyuered to him a Booke B. This Booke was deliuered vnto him by the Minister For by and by after it is sayd And when hee had shut the Booke hee gaue it to the Minister He found the place C. There is no doubt but that Christe of purpose chose this place Some think that it was diuinely allotted vnto him but seeing hee had free choise it is better to referre it his IudgemeÌ„t that hee chose out this place aboue others For his purpose was to speake aptly concerninge his office 18. The spirite of the Lord vpon me because hee hath anoynted mee to preach the Gospell to the poore hee hath sent me to heale the broken hearted to preach deliuerance to the captiue and recoueringe of sight to the blynde freely to set at liberty them that are brused The spirit of the Lord vpon me S. These Woordes are alleadged according to the translation of the threescore and ten Interpretors For the Hebrew texte in Esay is somewhat otherwise Esay 61.1 Esay promiseth that there shall bee yet certaine Witnesses of the Grace of GOD after the Exile into Babilon which shall gather the People from destruction and the shadow of Death and shall with Spirituall power restore the Church being so myserably afflicted But seeinge that the same redemption was to be published in the name of Christe onely he speaketh in the singuler nomber and after a sorte taketh vpon him the person of Christe to the ende he might the more effectually comforte the myndes of the Godly Certaine it is that those thinges which are spoken here doe onely properly belonge vnto Christe him selfe and that for two causes First because hee only is indued with the fulnesse of the spirite that hee might bee a Witnesse of our reconcilliation with God Ephe 2.17 secondly because hee alone by the power of his spirite performeth and geueth all those good things which he promyseth here And hee therefore sayd that the spirite of the Lord was vpon him to the ende wee might know that Christe as well in him selfe as in his Ministers doth no humaine or priuate worke but that hee is sente from aboue to restore saluation to the Church For he testifieth that hee doth nothing by humaine instincte or counsaile but by the moderation of the spirit of GOD that the Faith of the Godly mighte bee founded vppon the authority and power of God R. And wee must note that which we touched before that the fulnesse of the Spirite was geuen to Christe alone For the Spirite or gyftes of the spirite was geuen to others by partes and by measure To Moses was geeuen the spirite of Wisdome and of workinge myracles to Sampson was geuen the spirite of Fortitude to Salomon the Spirite of Wysedome to the Prophets the Spirite of knowledge and vnderstanding of Gods misteries but to Christ was geeuen the fulnesse of the spirite and all the Gyftes of the spirite were powred vppon him For so sayth the Prophet The Spirite of the Lorde shall rest vppon him Esay 11 2 the spirite of Wisedome and vnderstandinge the spirite of counsaile and strength the Spirit of knowledge and of the feare of the Lord. And Sainte Ihon sayth Ihon. 3.34 God geeueth not the spirit vnto him by meesure Col 2.9 and 3. In lyke manner Paule writeth sayinge In him dwelleth all the fulnesse of God bodily Wherefore when the Prophet sayeth that the Spirite of the Lord is vpon Christe hee meaneth that all the fulnesse and all the Gyftes of the Spirite are vppon him Bycause hee hath anoynted mee S. This is added in steede of an Exposition C. For many boaste falsly that they haue the spirite of God when they are quite voyde of his giftes But Christ proueth by the anoynting as by the effect that hee is moued with the spirit of God S. For this anoynting was a figure of the holy Ghoste and there is a Metaphor in this Woorde For as Oyle hath his properties for the body euen so hath the spirite of God for the Soule Wee are Partakers of this anoyntinge for GOD hath consecrated vs to be his People Psa 105.15 Whereupon hee saith Touch not mine anoynted But there is not all one measure as wee sayd before For God geueth to euery man his giftes according to his measure but Christe was fully anoynted of whose fulnesse wee all haue receyued Ihon. 1.16 Wee are anoynted that wee may bee Partakers of the kingdome of the Priesthoode and of the Propheticall office of Christ notwithstanding Christe onely was anoynted to bee a Kinge a Priest and a Prophet Our anoynting coÌ„meth from Aarons head vnto all the partes of the body Note also how often the Scripture maketh mencion of the spirit of God and saith that the same dwelleth in vs least thou shouldest consider any voyde or vayne thinge but rather his power and efficacie So that after the Prophet had spoken of the spirite of God hee addeth vnction by which the vertues of the Spirie of God are vnderstoode The place must bee dilligently waighed and considered For no man can take vnto him Right and authority to teach in the Church of God except hee can shew that hee was stirred there unto by the spirite of God And wee shall knowe who are sent of God by the anoyntinge that is to say if hee bee indued with these giftes which are required to that Function if hee beinge appointed of the Lord hath in him the Graces of the spirite then hee hath in deede the holy Ghost But if a man hauinge no doctrine or learninge at all will professe himselfe to be a maister and a Teacher let him bee

toward him And this is alway sene that wheÌ„ Christ suffereth in his meÌ„bers the secrets of many meÌ„s harts are reuealed 36. And there was a Prophetise one Anna the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asser which was of a great age had liued with a husband 7. yeres froÌ„ her Virginity And ther was a prophetise R. Iesus had receiued testimony froÌ„ Zacharias the priest froÌ„ Elizabeth his wife froÌ„ the Vyrgin Mary froÌ„ the Angels froÌ„ the shepheards of BetheleÌ„ froÌ„ the Magi that is to say from men of al sorts age condition Therfore now that he might haue the testimony of a widow also Luke bringeth forth Anna that we might haue it confirmed approued by many straunge inuincible arguments testemonies of all sorts of persons that God sent his son to be the sauiour of the world C. But Luke maketh mention here only of 2. of whom Chryst was receiued when he was offered in the Temple that to this end namely that we myghte learne to prefer that which belongeth vnto God before the whole world thogh it be very smal The Scribes hye priests wer very glorious in those dais but seing the spirit of God rested vppon Symeon Anna of the which almost all the Prynces were voyd these two alone deserued more reuerence then that greate multytude of those whych were outwardely paynted and garnyshed For this cause first the Age of Ann is put downe Secondly she is commeÌ„ded to be a Prophetyse And thyrdelie shee is praysed hyghely for her Godlynes and chaste Lyfe For these thynges are they which by ryght brynge Estymation and credite vnto men And Verely there are none more deceyued by outwarde Counterfayte shewes then they whych by the Vanitye of theyr Dysposition are addyeted to Fallacyes and Hypocryticall Vysors B. LVKE also noateth Learning to bee in thys VVidow when he sayth that shee was a Prophetesse that is to say Learned and exercysed in the Scriptures expert of Gods wil and ensypred with the holy Ghost For as we may coniecture by diuers places of Scripture a Prophete seemeth properly to signify a maÌ„ endued by the inspyration of the Spyrit wyth the knowledge of deuine things aboue other men and which can instructe others concerning the wil of the Lord. Hereupon this Name was speciallie applyed to all those which were specyally addicted to deuine things yea whosoeuer by the inspiration of the spyrite spake straunge things were sayde to prophecie So we may read of Saule And the euill Spyrite sente of God came vppon Saule 1. Ki. 18.10 and he prophecyed in the middest of the house What other thinge do these words And he prophecied signifie thaÌ„ that he spake straunge vnwonted things VVhereuppon also they which were endued with the good Spyrit of God and spake of deuine thinges haue seemed vnto carnall men to be out of their wits So it was sayde of him whome Elyzeus sent to annoynt Iehu Kynge Ki. 1.9.11 Act. 26.24 Wherefore commeth this mad man vnto thee So Festus thoughte Paule to bee mad when hee spake of deuyne thynges Therefore flesh and Bloude iudgeth that to be mad which it caÌ„not reache vnto So that true and Godlie prophesying seemeth to be a certayne ability both to know and also to shewe forth fully and certainely the Wyll of God to the profite of the Church which ability commeth by the instincte inspyration of the holy Ghost Part hereof is a certaine foresight and foreshewing of thynges to come or else of thinges hidden and parte the whych in deede is more deuyne is an Ability to speake more aptly of God and Godlines Howbeit yee shall very seldome finde that they are called Prophetes who haue not the gifte of foresight and foreshewing things to come or els the knowledge to shew matters so secrete and hidden that it is not possyble for mans wit to reach vnto them as was that whych Samuell sayde to Saule coÌ„cerning the Asses which he sought and Elizeus to his Seruaunt Giezi tould what hee had taken of Naaman the Syrian 1. Ki. 9.20 4 Ki. 5.25 Also Chryst toulde Nathanaell where he was when he was called of Phyllip Ioh. 1.48 Whereupon God geueth a marke whereby a true Prophete may be knowne in the 18. Chapter of Deuteronomy the 22. verse Namely that the same which the prophet foresheweth shall come to passe Howbeit in the 13. Cap. of the same Booke another Marke is geuen vnto him as that hee shall not withdrawe the people from worshipping God alone For it may be that GOD willing to try his people will suffer that to come to passe whych the false Prophet hath foreshewed Hereuppon Saules Page goinge about to proue Samuel to be a true prophet sayd of him Behould there is in this City a Man of God and he is an honourable man all that he saith coÌ„meth surely to passe And thys seemeth to be the meaning of Paule when he sayth But if al Prophesie and ther come in one that beleeueth not or one vnlearned hee is rebuked of all men he is iudged of all men and so are the secretes of his hearte made manifest so hauing fallen downe on his Face he will worship God saying that God is in you of a truth What meaneth this Hee is rebuked of all men 1. Cor. 1â— 24 he is iudged of all men and so are the secretes of his heart made manifest But onely that the Prophets by the instincte of the Spyrite reueale the secretes of his heart the which seeynge no man can doe of himselfe the vnbeleeuing or vnlearned knoweth for a suertie that God doth worke and speake in them Nowe the People of Israell had alwayes almoste many such Prophets of the Lord which knewe and could speake by Visions or by dremes or by the motion and instincte of the spyrite concerning the will of God in dyuers thinges and also concerninge the actes of men far exceeding mans capacity Yea these were not wantynge in the primitiue Church Act. 13.2 For ther were such Prophets teachers in the church of Antioche who worshippinge God with fasting and prayer Act 11.28 the holy ghost sayd Act. 21.11 Seperate me Barnabas Saule for the Worke wherein I haue called them Such a one was Agabus who foreshewed the greate Famine to come and the imprysonment of Paule Act. 5.3 Peter also declared this kynde of Prophesie when he discouered the deceipt of Ananias and Saphyra And althoughe no man hath the name of a Prophet in the scripture which is not endued wyth the foresight and foreknowledge of things to come yet notwythstanding the pryncipall Offyce of Prophets hath ben by the instyncte and Reuelation of the Spirite to leade vnto Godlynes Whereupon the Apostle Paule sayth Hee which prophesieth speaketh vnto men Edification Exhortation and Consolation Co. 14.3 Such were the most excellent prophets in the Scripture As Moses Samuell Elyas Elyzeus Esayas Ieremy Daniel and others
