yea in all those that were pricked in the heart at Peters sermon at Iohn Baptists sermon or at the preachinge of anie who haue begotten faith by the blessed worde By the way therefore to say that the Church which consistes of manie beleiuers it hath bene somtymes wholy invisible it is passing false For as none can be members of Christ without faith and there cannot be such apprehendinge iustifying faith without preaching of the Evangell and that cannot so be preached of anie except they be sent of God so all this cannot be without externall Confession of the same faith according to that of Peter and Iohn we cannot but speak the things which we haue seen heard Now what is it that such do confesse they beleiue That Iesus Christ son of the liuing God is com As before his comming it was required man shold beleiue He shold com for so was he darkly preached to Adam more plainly to Abram but far more openly by the Prophets to auncient mother Zion so synce his manifestation it is required mankynd confesse they beleiue He is com The not beleif whereof is cawse the Iewes stand reiected Nor can they be regraffed into the body of the Church vntill they se and confesse lamenting-wise that already He is com and pearced But vpon such sight ād confession they shall haue the fountaine opened vnto them for syn and vncleannes to the expellinge of the false prophet The literall vayle of Moses so removed the Catholike bodie of Israel shall so be saued And whereas the Gentiles labour and are like still to labour of spirituall errour by the leaues then of that naturall tre the faithfull of the nations shalbe healed Who therefore wisheth an end to contentiō arising from such errour let them pray that the kingdom may quicly be restored to that naturall Israel Which Iesus in english Sauiour must be confessed the Christ in english Annoynted in hebrue Messiah that is that blessed One which from Adams fall was frely promised of God to be sent in tyme for sauinge his people from theyr synnes Which work of salvation he accomplished by prophecy sacrifice and invisible powre weakly fore-figured by the annoynted Prophets Preists and Rulers giuen to Auncient Israel For how can anie be sayd to haue faith in him that confesse not they beleiue him to be that One which saueth his people as the Lord had appoynted Nor can this be without beleyuing him to be the Son of the liuing GOD the beleif whereof is sayd not to com by the Revelation off flesh and Blood but by our father which is in heauen And vppon the confession of this Philip baptised the Eunuch Nor is this to be marvayled at seing the epithet Livinge it distinguisheth the true GOD from all false Gods and the beleiving Iesus to be his Son sent for sauing such as com vnto God by him it is to flesh and blood vnreasonable And that we se in the Iues who held it blasphemy or an euell speach in him to make himself the Son of God To haue made himself the Son of God but only in regard of this obedience to God that they wold not terme an euell speach for they thought so of themselues and theyr princes but teaching himself so to be Son as he is and euer was one with the father that is the same for essence and eternity of essence that they helde blasphemie The impossibility of beleiving this Son-ship is to be considered in the following words Com in our Nature This nature of Man body and sowle assumed of him this the Iues sawe but that nature whereby he was the only begotten of the father figured in Isaac thonly begotten of Abram hy-father that the naturallcy sawe not and therefore beleiued not The humaine nature was not in question amongst the Iues for that they verily sawe ād felt without ani guiste of faith but to acknowledge this visible nature assumed of the former invisible nature that required the fathers revelation as the humaine nature the mothers declaration And this nature was figured by the Ramme that was sacrificed for Isaac And both of them foretyped by the two Hegoates whereof the One died Body in his kynd and the sowle in his kynde both being but Man and death otherwise raigning ouer both which a late writer shold haue obserued before herein he had so easilie contradicted the Auntients that One died for satisfying Iehouah for Israels synnes although with Ionah it came out of the earths wombe not feeling corruption thother scaped but the Sowle which som wold haue only to be typed hereyn it by lot was with the bodie caught and throwen into the Seas off God his boyling indignation so far was it from scapinge thother scaped carying Syn as Captiuity captiue into the place cut of from the habitation of Synners And yet in this same humaine nature touching the manner of generation the reason of faith is also required For that cawse I adde By the holy Ghost his ouershadowing c. As by the spirit of God his mouth ech treature first had existence so for causing this glorious manhood in the first fruites of our nature that was to be vnited with the Godhead for euer the same eternall spirit called also the spirit of Christ because he procedeth both from Father and Son he ouershadowes the Virgin and is Agent to her seede patient for the Manhoods existence That womans seede shold conquer the Head of the serpent that in Abrams seede not seedes all Nation̄s shold be blessed that a virgin shold conceiue and bring forth a Son whose name shold be Gnimmanuel c. God with vs wonderfull Counsailour the might God the euerlasting Father Prince of peace c. all this was preached of old but the mysterie touching the manner of his Conception that was concealed till his comminge And yet this mysterie was before preached vnder couert shadowes For as our Sauiour him self was foretyped in Isaac Samson and Samuel so we se theyr mothers Satah Monahs wife and Hannah to bring forth not by naturall course though Nature not reiected but by promise and Grace Touching the end of whose comming this must be confessed That it vvas for the absolute salvation of his people That he came to saue it was noted from his name Iesus but it must be confessed that his worke is absolute that this that to the beginning continuance and endinge thereof he hath no One to help or vpholde that according to that his speach in Isaiah I am mighty to saue I haue trod the vvynepresse alone of all the people hearken Meritmonger there vvas none vvith me And I looked and there vvas none to help and I vvondred that there vvas none to vpholde therefore myne ovvne arme helped me my vvrath it self sustayned me And this is the same which Peter teacheth thus Nor is there salvation in any other for
