after this earthly according to this saying It is sowe a naturall body it riseth a spirituall body So that the spirite vi●ifying is not here taken as which shoulde be oppo●ed and layde agaynst that which is innocente and right but agaynst that which animateth with earthly life Wherevpon the first Adam although he were iuste with the spirite of innocencie yet lacked he this viuifying spirite as the Apostle taketh him to the Corinth whose body was natural not spiritual earthly not heauenly Neither could it be transformed into a heauenly body without either the death of it or immutation very like vnto deathe as he clerely signifyeth when he proueth by the mutuall conuersion that the resurrection consisteth not without death alleaging a similitude of the séede of which Chryst had mentioned before in Iohn So that Christ receiued the name of the New man then specially when he was raised vp by resurrection from the dead to the right hand of the glory of God and not before when he had put of mortalitie and the ignomie of the crosse of his fleshe to the which he was borne for vs of the virgine he namely then being declared to be truely the sonne of God by the spirite of power according to this which was begotten of the séede of Dauid after the fleshe which was declared to be the sonne of God with power according to the spirite of sanctification of this that Iesus Christ our Lord rose againe from death To which time also this properly pertaineth in the seconde Psalme Thou art my sonne I haue this day begotten thée the Apostle Paule reciting it for that time in the Actes 50 For as much therfore as the newe man is suche he giueth the nature of heauen from whence he came which heauen is agile ful of vertue and light After this sort is the heauenly man and all the children that come of him 51 And for that there was no way for this Adam to fall namely he which was conceiued by the spirite of God not able to be brought to sliding as he witnesseth of himselfe when he sayeth The Prince of this world commeth and in me he hath nothing at all 52 And the same returned to heauen frō whence he came downe euen as the earthly returneth to the earth of which he was made al things returning to their beginnings by diuine disposition as he sayth of him selfe in the thirde of Iohn And no man ascendeth into heauen but he which came down from heauen euen the sonne of man which is in heauen 53 Séeing then that the olde man and the nowe are so farre distante in beginning and ending in nature and affections the olde shall not become newe except he lay away from him his affections and desires and put on him the newe affections of the newe man. 54 Which can not be done without a new birth death that the olde man die to him selfe that is to the loue of him selfe and to the contempte of God and that the newe man be borne a newe to heauenly desires that is to loue God aboue al things and our neighbors as our selues for this loue is the ende of the lawe and the summe of all the rightnesse of diuine iustice vnto which we are to be reformed which the very order of creation cléerely teacheth in which he ought to be loued with equal loue which hath taken equall degrée of perfection with thée But such is man made to the similitude of God. 55 For as much therfore as we must be borne again it is a question wherof or by what we be regenerated or what set to the helping hand to the renuing of vs Is it the light of nature which containeth the law wrytten in all mennes hartes and mindes No not that for that light being corrupted with originall sinne howe should it wipe away the spot and place innocēcie in stead therof Further the light of nature is darknesse if it be compared to the light of God which bringeth eternall life as aboue it is shewed Now what cōmunion may be betwéene vice and integritie betwéene darkenesse light By regeneration we are begotten the children of lighte But how shall darknesse procéede to so great light 56 Muche lesse shall the woorkes of the lawe performe so great a woorke which if they be done are too weake in cause as done by the lighte of nature by the rightuousnesse of the law so that all naturall things in man and created strengths take a fall 57 What remaineth then vnto regeneration Only the spirite of Iesus Christe purchased for vs by his bloud which may repurge the childe of olde Adam into a newe man Other thing there is none neither in heauen nor in earth as I haue aboue proued in the rule of iustification 58 And that witnesseth the newe man him selfe being the aucthor of this natiuitie when he saith in Iohn Except a man be newe born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdome of God. 59 Where looke what the naturall winde is in this visible worke of the world in this aire next vnto vs through the light of heauen waters from aboue to make the earth bring forth frute the same the spirite of God the father in Christ his sonne to this Tohu and Vehu that is to this vnformed and rule ●arthe of the godly that is to say to their mindes by the light that no man can come at and spirituall waters to renue their stomackes to bring forth frutes worthy of heauen 60 And for that cause in the mention made of regeneration is ioyned water to the spirit In which and by which the new birth may be wrought And in an other place fire is also taken to company to worke so great a worke when we read He shall baptise you with the spirite and fire 61 In which part respecte is had to the figures of the created worke For as in it the spirit or winde was coupled with the waters which he shuld moue preparing the earthe by the light brought vnto it to the encrease of that which come of hir euen so the work of regeneration offreth it self hir earth first emptie voide hir water of the spirit and of light which is the fire that new regenerateth heauen which in Iohn we spake of a litle before hither also are those things to be called which we read of Helias of the spirit commotion and fire

this boke of this worlde things manyfestly falling to corruption signified Therefore séeing that euery creature hath his vanitie not onely in his dooing and operation but also of hys moste méere nature wée are héere taught two things very necessarie to the comforting of our selues One is that God prouidently appoynteth the reconcinuation and restoration of all things after the firste workmanshippe by which the thinges that were made by the space of sixe dayes to the perfection which then was conuenient both to their nature and dooings should be new wrought in this recreation to the best state they might haue and that in Chryst and through the reuelation of the sonnes of God by the same Further the condition of man is suche that with him if he be put in a vayne state all things lye subiect to vanitie On the other side he béeing restored to integritie and sounde state of the glory of God all things are also deliuered from their vanitie For man is as it were the knitting togither and head of all creatures In whom all things as members and partes are compact to this perfection which we sée in them For he hath his béeyng with all things and to liue he hath that propertie with rootes he hath his sense with beastes and liuyng wormes he hathe power to vnderstande the truthe and falsitie good and euill with Aungelles and with God himselfe wherevnto pertayneth this worde Microcosmos which is little worlde and this name of euery creature to whom it is sayde to be preached when the worde of God is shewed to man so great a worke of God is man Hym the heauenly myndes doo serue whose administring spirites they be heauen and earth and all that is in them doth seruice vnto him All things therefore pertaine to man as to their lord prince euen so vpon his state dependeth both the vanitie health of al things And so man with the rest of all creatures are in sundry wise vaine For man is vaine as the whole and heade and so chéefly vayne but the rest of creatures as partes included in man For he comprehendeth all and includeth all things in béeing lyfe sense and mynd But the whole is here taken for that which conteineth perfection not for that either which is vniuersal called in latin integrale substantial or predicatorie Therfore the Apostle teacheth rightly for we know that euery creature sigheth with vs as it were traueleth togither with vs for childe euen vntill this time And also for the diligēt expectation of the creature looketh that the sonnes of God be openly shewed For the creature is subiect to vanitie against his wil but for him that brought it subiect vnder hope for the very creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the libertie of the glory of the sonnes of god Which how it shal be brought to passe it shall appeare hereafter Wherefore the Scripture chiefly occupieth it selfe about man it beateth properly about his fall and resurrection his sinne and medicine to heale the same his vanitie and how his saluation should be repaired So that the Apostle graunteth to the Colloss that when man is reconciled by the bloud of Iesus Chryst the heuenly Adam all things are pacified by him whether they be in heauen or in earth And so the reparation of man is prouided by which he and all things in him might be reformed to the best state And this is it that we are héere warned of by the vanitie of all things The other thing that wée are héere taught in this place foloweth of the first namely that all Creatures are vnprofitable for a man to put his confidence in any and in which a man may ascribe his saluation For they haue euery one of them their vanitie of gooing forwards from out of nothing into a better condition vnder a reformator Chryst And therefore that wée may safely be committed to nothing in the worlde else saue onely to one God which onely is vnchangeable agaynst all chaunces sinne death and Sathan in the bloud of Chryst which ouercommeth all Principates and Rulers Thou therefore O king with thy power shalte be to thy selfe but vayne Thou also O wyse man with thy wisedome and thou O iuste man of this worlde wyth thy righteousnesse which shall be as a clothe filthily arayed in the sight of God according to the Prophet Vayne shalte thou be to thy selfe O Philosopher with thy light naturall which is méere darknesse before the light of god Submitte thy selfe to Chryst the wisedome and power of the father the eternall righteousnesse and to that true light which lighteneth to true glory for he onely is stable and subiecte to no vanitie whereas al that euer is thine is not able to saue thée for sinne lyeth vpon thée béeing cruell agaynst thée through the testimonie of the Law if the horrible féeling of death pricke thée and that the power of hell molest thée as Salomon notably prooueth héereafter when he saythe And I sawe vnder the Sunne that there was no running of the swifte nor warre of the strong nor riches of the rich that can helpe What remaineth therefore the only feare of God now resteth which deliuereth vs from vanitie euen as it is not vaine it selfe For it is the power of God the spirite of our Lord Iesus Christe initiating and beginning the mindes of the godly with the loue of God from aboue which bringeth true life after vaine life namely the life of god Of which it is the perpetuall well spring according to the Prouerbes It bringeth also beames of true light after the darkenesse of the light naturall namely of the vnapprocheable light of god The séedes of which light are sowen in godly in this feare as the Psalmographe witnesseth Light is sowen to the iust man That signifieth Salomon where he so oftentimes stirreth vs vp in this booke to the feare of God after mention made of the Vanitie of all things Of Vowes by Martinus Cellarius in the fifth of Ecclesiastes As folovveth in this Text. If thou haste vowed any thing to God deferre not to pay it TO note bréefly of vowes it shall be méete for vs to begin at the definition When we séeke therfore what a vow is firste offereth it selfe the gender which is promisse For they that make a vowe promisse either them selues or else their goodes And for as much as there be diuers promisses by making a partition we shall sée what a vow is in scripture Promisse is in two sortes One is of men and the other of god That which is of men is made at the arbitrement of men Of which sorte is that which the Gentiles made to their gods without the prescription of the worde of god As are also at this day the promisses made vowed in monasteries which are made without the doctrine of the gospell The other which is of God is that which is made according to the lawe of
