conceiued of the seede of man he is Gnamith Iehoua the companion of Iehoua hee is also as Iob calleth him our Goel or our kinsman Iacob called him Shiloh because he was sent into the world wrapped in the like tunicle which others of the sons of men bring with them when they are borne He is that incomparable Vnio or Margarita a precious pearle as Nazianzen calleth him and why Nicetas and Elias do tel vs quippe qui non nisi summo cum labore at que à perpaucis inueniatur because he is not found but with great labour and few are they who finde him Tum etiam vt ait ille quia vt margarita ex concha aqua conflatur ita Christus diuinitate humanitate constat O what a matter of vnspeakable ioy is heere but I must contract my selfe Man for his transgression receiued this checke from the Lord Ecce Adam factus est quasi vnus ex nobis but now since the reconciliation by Iesus God manifested in the flesh man may reioice and say Ecce Deus factus est quasi vnus ex nobis Doubtlesse this is a strong bulwarke of our faith for since we see that the sonne of God is become the sonne of man clothed with all the infirmities of our nature except sinne since wee see the God of glorie humbled to the ignominie of the crosse why shall we doubt that the sonnes of men shall also be made the sonnes of God and that these vile bodies of ours shall bee changed and fashioned like vnto the glorious body of Christ especially since for no other end became he the sonne of man but to make vs the sonnes of God The last part of the description is heere whom thou has● made strong for thy selfe this as I haue said respecteth his threefold office and his vnction to them all A commentarie for this place is that of Esay I will put my Spirit in him that hee may bring foorth iudgement to the Genti●es And againe The spirit of the Lord is vpon me and he hath annoynted mee hee hath sent mee to preach good tydings vnto the poore and to binde vp the broken-hearted c. what the Psalmist heere calls strengthning the Prophet heere calls it annoynting aud St. Iohn calls it sealing for him hath God the father sealed and what is meant by all these he expounds himselfe yet more cleerely The word was made flesh and dwelt among vs full of grace and truth and a little after God gaue him not the spirit by measure that of his fulnesse wee might all receiue grace for grace Of all these it is plaine how the father is sayd to haue made his sonne strong for himselfe that is hee annoynted him he sealed him he put his spirit into him not in a measure but communicate the fulnes of grace to him that he might be ●rengthened to do vnto vs the office of a King to deliuer vs from our enemies of a Prophet to teach vs the whole counsell of God and of a Preist to offer himselfe in a propitiatory sacrifice for vs. In all these appeared his wonderfull strength passius est vt infirmus operatus vt fortis when hee suffered like a weake man then he wrought like a valiant man then he darkned the sunne then he rent the vaile then hee raised the dead in his death vide infirmitatem filij hominis see the infirmity of the so●●e of man in his victorie vide fortitudinem 〈◊〉 Dei see the mighty strength and power of the ●o●ne of God granum sinapis dum patitur in his ●uff●ring he is like a graine of mustard seede dum resurgit ●●bor est sub qua aues coeli nidificant in his resurrection he is like a tree vnder which the birds of heauen doe build their neasts Euerie way the mighty strength of our strong Redeemer is to be admired but specially his conquest by suffering there did appeare the weaknesse of God stronger then man yea then all these Principalities powers and spirituall wickednesse that were opposite to him It was indeed an exceeding great worke which committed to our Mediatour The man lesus and therefore required a speciall vnction to make him strong vnto it All the Angels of heauen all the men on earth were not able to haue wrought that worke Such a Law was neuer imponed to man nor Angell as was imponed to lesus by his his Fathers ordination willingly accepted by himselfe This was the Law of a Redeemer wherewith Christ was charged and none but hee more many manner of wayes then the Law morall whereunto all are subiect The morall Law had two tables the first commanding the perfit loue of God the next commanding to loue our neighbour as our selues The Redeemers Law hath also two parts both of them commanding much more then is commanded by the morall the first part of the Redeemers law lookes vp to his Father the second lookes downe to his brethren In the first this commandement was giuen him Thou must vindicate the glory of thy fathers mercy and iustice If man bee not punished what shall become of the glorie of my iustice and if all men perish vnder that wrath which is due to their transgression what shall become of the glory of my mercie The Lord Iesus hath in wonderfull manner preserued them both for in him the inuiolable strictnesse of his Fathers iustice hath beene manifested in that he spared not his own sonne bearing the burden of our transgression many fearefull examples of diuine iustice hath been seene since the beginning of the world but neuer one like vnto this And many great mercies in all ages hath hee shewed to his seruants Noah in the arke Lot in Zoar Israel beyond the red sea may stand for examples but neuer a mercy like this was manifested in the world that the Lord gaue his onely begotten to the death that such as beleeue in him might haue eternall life There was the riches of the glory of his mercy wonderfully declared Thus did the Lord fulfill the commandement of the law of a Redeemer and preserue the glory both of his fathers iustice and mercy The other part of the law respected his brethren concerning whom this commandement was giuen him thou must loue thy brethren not as thy selfe onely but more then thy selfe thou shalt purchase them life by thine owne death thou shalt saue them who haue lost themselues thou shalt redeeme their inheritance which they haue solde without a price and as their neerest kinsman and first-borne of thy fathers familie according as thou art bound thou shalt pursue the murtherer that slue him to wit the Diuell he is without all citie of refuge reuenge thou their bloud vpō him like another Abraham thou must bring home againe Lot out of the hands of that Tyrant Chedarlaomer all this the Lord Iesus powerfully performed for the father
