vs a true fayth quickneth vs agayn exalteth vs into heauē where we shal liue foreuer in despite of all our enimies through the benefit of the good Samaritane our sauiour Christ Thus we may see how it is true that the Apostle sayth the letter killeth but the spirit giueth life Notwithstāding in some respecte and in some sense the letter is profitable as I haue sayde and also the Apostle teacheth vs that the same letter or law which killeth is not voyde of profite For he sayth The law was our Scholemaster to bring vs to Christ that we might be made righteous by fayth If then it did bring vs to Christ we had no small profite therby And agayn he sayth The law is holy the cōmaundement is holy and iust and good Was that then which is good made death vnto men God forbid but sinne that it might appeare sinne wrought death in me by that which is good that sinne mighte be out of measure sinfull by the cōmaundement For we know that the law is spirituall but I am carnall tolde vnder sinne Héere the Apostle expoundeth him selfe sheweth after what sort the letter or the law killeth yet neuerthelesse it remayneth profitable holy spiritual good iust Thus much of the letter of the diuers sense and meaning therof and what letter it is that killeth how it killeth how it profiteth God graunt vs al the true vnderstanding and knowledge of his worde with a readie mind wil to folow the same that bringing foorth the fruites of the spirite we may liue for euer in heauen with almightie god To whom the father the sonne the holy ghost thrée persons and one God be all prayse honor glory for euer So be it FINIS Gen. 25.22 An. mundi 2100. 2.

Samaria They shall possesse from the South to the Northe and from the West to the East Euen those Israelites that are nowe in captiuitie among the Canaanites in the Southe shall possesse vnto Sarepta in the North. And the inhabitantes of Ierusalem that are in captiuitie in Bosphorus in the North shall inhabite the cities of the South For God shall set mightie Captaynes ouer hys people Israell whiche shall subdue the Edomites and shall be zelous followers of God and shall set vp his true worshippe agayne They shall both instruct the people and also compell them to follow Gods lawes Therefore God shall rule and hee shall be king ouer them For they shal serue him A larger interpretation of Abdias Prophesie THis Prophesie was written agaynst the Edomites the posteritie of Esau a people bordering vpon the Southe side of Iewry towards Arabia They were the nexte neighbeurs of the Israelites the posteritie of Iacob Iacob and Esau otherwise called Israell and Edom were brethren and the children of Isaac and Rebecca When their mother was with childe with them they did striue in hir wombe wherewith she béeing moued enquired of God what that straunge fight shoulde meane Answere was made hir that she had two Nations in hir wombe that is to say that two Nations should rise of their posteritie that they should contende the one with the other and the elder should serue the yonger that is the Nation that shoulde come of the yonger brother shoulde subdue the posteritie of the elder brother and bring them in subiectiō Which was fulfilled in king Dauids tyme who with his people the posteritie of Iacob the yonger brother subdued the Edomites vnto him and vnto his Nation vnto whome they remayned subiect for the space of an hundred and threescore yeres vnto the reigne of Ioram the seuenth king of Iewry from Dauid In whose dayes they rebelled and euer after hated the inhabitants of Iuda as before their father Esau had hated Iacob As at other times so chiefly they vttered their malitious mind when Nabuchodonosor besieged Ierusalem for they ioyned with him agaynst Iuda It is not vnlikely but that he desired their help bicause they were neare borderers were acquaynted in the countrey But he was not so desirous of their ayde as they were to offer it For they reioyced greatly at the miserie of the Israelites they triumphed ouer them and were partakers with the enimies in spoyling the citie of Ierusalem Yea they persuaded them vtterly to destroy it As it is written Remember the children of Edom O Lorde in the day of Ierusalem whiche sayde rase it rase it euen to the foundation thereof By occasion of this miserie and calamitie of the Israelites the inhabitants of Idumea were mery and ioyfull but Gods people were full of sorrowe and heauinesse Therefore almightie God pitying their case stirred vp Abdias other Prophets to comfort them by declaring vnto them the destruction of the Edomites their enimies and by foretelling their owne deliuerance out of captiuitie which how cōfortable a thing it was vnto them wée may vnderstande by our own example who in the days of Mary our Quéene were oppressed with the members of Antichrist the deadly enimies of Gods people At what tyme they endeuoured as much as lay in them to destroy the heauenly Ierusalem that is to say the true Christians of whome they imprisoned and burned a great number and the residue they caused eyther to flée into voluntarie banishmente or else to reuolte from the Christian religion vnto Idolatrie vntill it pleased almightie God to looke vpon them with his mercyfull eyes and to call them vnto repentance If in this tyme of miserie God had sente vs some Abdias to tell vs that he woulde destroy our enimies and restore those that were banished into their ceuntrey and aduaunce them to honour and wealth this must néedes haue béene very comfortable vnto vs And so it came to passe in déede For God dothe not in any age leaue those comfortlesse that cleaue wholly vnto him Therfore he sente his Prophet Abdias among the Israelites to shewe them the destruction of their enimies and their owne deliuerance out of captiuitie to comfort them and to confirme them in the true worship of god This is the purpose of the Prophet whose prophesie may be deuided into two chapters In the first God threatneth destruction vnto the Edomites and in the seconde he promiseth deliuerance with great prosperitie and felicitie vnto the Israelites The first Chapter consisteth of foure partes In the first is declared the certayntie of their destruction In the seconde the staye and arguments wherby the Edomites might persuade them selues of safetie are taken away and confuted In the thirde the greatnesse of the calamitie that God would sende vpon them is declared And last of all are shewed the causes of their destruction It is not impertinent to the first parte to note héere the author of the prophesie It is called the prophesie of Abdias But it was reuealed by the holy Ghost euen by God him selfe and vttered by the ministerie of Abdias As the Prophete Zacharie sayth The Lorde God of Israell hathe raysed vnto vs a mightie saluation in the house of his seruante Dauid as he promised by the mouth of his holy Prophets which were since the world began And the Apostle that writeth to the Hebrues sayth At sundrie tymes and in dyuers maners God spake in olde tyme to our fathers by the Prophets And our Sauiour sayth that Dauid sayde in the spirite or by the holy Ghost the Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde sit thou on my right hande vntill I make thy enimies thy foote stoole Héere our Sauiour signifieth that Dauid spake not of him selfe but the holy Ghost by his mouth So it appeareth by the words of S. Peter that Noe in his time preached vnto the people not of him selfe but our Sauiour Christ in his Godhead preached by the mouth of Noe. For S. Peter speaking of the death and resurrection of our Sauiour sayth that he was mortified in the fleshe but quickned or raysed to life by the spirite that is to say by his Godhead In the whiche spirite saythe he Christ came and preached to the spirites that are in prison whiche were disobedient in the dayes of Noe. These words of our Sauiour of the Apostles and of Zacharie teache vs that it was our Sauiour Christ in Noe the spirite of God in Dauid and in the other Prophetes that spake vnto the people Therefore I conclude that the same spirite spake in Abdias and that God him selfe was the author of his prophesie This also is manyfest by the words of the Prophet For he sayth I haue made thée of smal power and of little reputation among the Nations The Prophet had no such power as to diminishe the reputation and power of the Edomites Therfore it foloweth necessarily that he spake not in his own person but
