glorie which wee looke for in vaine Neither is it to be feared that by this meanes any reproch is offered to the sonne of God For here Christ is to be considered in these qualities which hee hath not in himselfe but by imputation in respect of the office of a mediator which condition he willingly tooke vppon him that wee againe being iustified by faith might bee his brethren and heires together with him of the same kingdome For wee beleeue that hee did truely beare the cursse of an other laide vppon him by doing whereof hee both yelded high obedience to God his father and also by ouercomming that cursse which hee tooke vpon him manifested his diuine power Deade Testimonies out of the Prophetes and Apostles IT came to passe neither by chaunce nor at aduenture that Christ died but so it was foretolde of God Genesis 3. The seede of the woman shall bruise the serpentes heade and thou shalt bite his heele To this agreeth the place of the Hebrewes chapter 2. For as much then as children are partakers of fleshe and bloode he also himselfe likewise tooke parte with them that hee might destroye through death him that had the power of death that is the diuel The sacrifices of the olde Testament for sinne were shadowes of the sacrifice to come of which thing it is so written in the 10. to the Hebrewes and also the prophesie out of the 40. Psalme is expounded The lawe obtayning a shadowe of good thinges to come and not the verie image of thinges can neuer with these sacrifices which they offer yeare by yeare continually sanctifie the commers vnto it And a little after Wherefore entring into worlde hee saith Psalme 41. sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not but a bodie hast thou ordeined mee Burnt offeringes and sacrifice for sinne thou hast not allowed Then saide I Loe I am present In the beginninge of the booke it is writien of mee that I shoulde doe thy will O GOD which hee so expoundeth there of the voluntarie death of Christe through the which will wee are sanctified by the offering vp of the bodie of Iesus Christ once made for all The sacrifice of Abel was acceptable to God and in the sacrifice of Noah it is said that God smelled a sweete smelling sauour Genesis 9. And whie because they were figures of the sacrifice of the Messiah To which place of the 9. of Gene. Paul had regarde in the 5. to the Ephesians when he saith Christe gaue himselfe for vs an oblation and offering to God of a sweete smelling sauour The Paschall lambe contayned a manifest and as it were a visible prophesie of the death of Christ as Iohn the Euangelistâ— teacheth in the 19. Chapter that that prophesie was fulfilled by the wonderfull prouidence of God There shall not a bone of his be broken Which albeit it was spoken of the boanes of the Paschall lambe Exodus 12. yet notwithstanding he saith that it was truely fulfilled in the death of Christ saying that when hee was deade his legges were not broken as were the theeues Where also Iohn teacheth that an other prophesie which is written in the 12. of Zacharie was fulfilled They shall see whome they haue pearced when one of the souldiers had pearced Christes side and by and by there issued out water and bloode Of the Passeouer also thou hast in the 1. Cor. 5. Our passeouer is sacrificed for vs euen Christ. Also that same dailie sacrifice did set before our eyes the sacrifice of Christ to come Euerie daye morning and Euening a lambe was offered vp Hitherto belong those same places Iohn 1. verse 36 and the 1. Pet. vers 19. Isay 5.3 He was cut of from the land of the liuing For the transgression of my people hee was wounded To this agreeth that of the 9. of Daniel The Messias shall be cut off and this must be fulfilled before Ierusalem be destroyed Againe Isay 5.3 When hee shall haue laide downe his soule for a sacrifice for sinne hee shall see a seede that shall prolong his dayes And by the knowledge of himselfe my righteous seruaunt shall iustifie many and hee himselfe shall beare their iniquities Zacharie 9. Thou also shalt bee saued by the bloode of thy couenaunt I haue sent out thy bond ones out of the cesterne wherein there is no water Christ the heade of all the Prophetes foresheweth his death in the 12. of Iohn Verilie verilie I say vnto you except a grain of corne falling into the earth be deade it remaineth alone but if it be deade it bringeth much fruite And in the 10. chapter 15.16.17.18 verses And Matth 20.28 See also a wonderfull prophesie by the mouth of Caiphas Io. 11. vers 49.50.51.52 1. Cor. 15. I haue deliuered vnto you first of all that which I receaued to wit that Christe dyed for our sinnes according to the scriptures Dauid in the 114. Psalme prophesieth of the stone refused by the builders Christ teacheth that that prophesie had an accomplishment in his death Matth. 21. in that parable of the sonne the heir of the vineyarde slaine of those same husbandmen of the vineyarde verses 38.39 For so he saith haue yee not reade in the scriptures The stone which the builders reiected the same is made the chiefe corner stone This is done of the Lorde and it is wonderfull in our eyes c. And when the chiefe of the Priestes and Pharisees had hearde his parables they kneewe those thinges to bee spoken concerning them Herevnto belongeth that same excellent power which shewed it selfe in the 4. of the Actes of that reicted stone by death When they had placed them meaning the Apostles in the middest of them By what power or in whose name doe you this Then Peter full of the holy Ghost saith vnto them O ye chiefe of the people and elders of Israel forasmuch as the question is this day of the benefite bestowed vppon the sicke man to wit howe this man is saued be it knowen vnto you all and to all the people that through the name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth whome you haue crucified whome GOD hath raised vp from death by this I say doeth this man stande whole and sounde in your sight This is that stone that was esteemed as nothing of you builders which is made the chiefe corner stone Neither is there saluation in anie other And a litle after They seeing him stande with those that were healed they coulde say nothing against it Why Christ died THE ende of Christes death was to satisfie the righteousnes and wrath of God for our sinnes and so by dying to destroye and abolish sinne in which all the power of sathan consisted For in as much as sinne by the iust iudgement of God raged vppon mankinde his wrath was appeased and satisfied for sinne and all power taken froÌ„ it that it might not raigne in the beleeuers 1. Ioh. 3. To this ende was the sonne of God manifested that hee might dissolue the workes

17. Why the scripture calleth him the onely begotten seeing all we which beleeue are the sonnes of God THerefore the Scripture calleth him the only begotten sonne of God that he may put a necessary difference betweene Christe and all the faithfull For Christ is called and indeede is the onely begotten sonne of God because he is the only euerlasting son of the euerlasting father begotten of the substance of the father before al worlds and therefore is very God in whoÌ„ we ought to beleeue Pro. 8. Ioh. 1. Now we are called and are the sonnes of God not by nature but by adoption and grace through which God hath vouchsafed to adopt vs to be his children whilest he hath made vs through faith engrafted into his sonne his true and liuely members who otherwise were the meÌ„bers of Sathan and by nature the sonnes of wrath Ioh. 8. Ephes 2. But in meane time that same adoption and name of the sonnes of God is not onely an emptie title but when we are in truth members of the sonne of God we haue by his grace a true communion and fellowship with him in respect of which he is called the first begotten amongest many brethren Rom. 8. And surelie if the Adoption made of men be not a vaine and an emptie title but such an acceptation of another mans childe to be a sonne whereby in truth all the right of sonnes is communicated vnto him as if he were a true and naturall sonne certainly by that same adoption of God whereby we are so engraffed into his sonne that we are gouerned quickened by his spirit we do not onely receaue the title but the full priuiledge and right of the sonnes of God Rom. 8. For he hath giuen this priuiledge dignitie right and power to all as many as haue receiued the Lorde Iesus that they should be made the sonnes of God Ioh. 1. And in the first Epistle of Iohn the first Chapiter That which we haue seene and hearde declare we vnto you that ye also may haue fellowshippe with vs and our fellowshippe or communion is with the father and with his sonne Iesus Christ And these things write I vnto you that your ioye may be full All the faithfull therefore haue not a meane and common couenant but a most excellent couenant with God whilest he will haue his confederates to be in the place of sonnes making theÌ„ members of his onely begotten Sonne from whom they are neuer plucked away and regenerating or rather renueing them through his spirit so excelent notable a couenaÌ„t I say in euery respect that we may freely say with the Apostle to the Rom. 8. that he that hath not spared his owne sonne but hath giuen him for vs all howe can it be that he should not together with him giue vs all thinges Yea but this same couenant grounded vpon so excellent loue of God towardes vs is so sure and vnmoueable that we may farther say with the same Apostle I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor Angells nor Principalities nor powers nor thinges present nor thinges to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shal be able to separate vs from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesus our Lord. Our Lorde Testimonies out of the Prophetes and Apostles THe Lorde hath said to my Lorde c. Psalm 110. And Matthew 22. verse 42.43 Actes 2 verse 36. Therefore all the house of Israel knowe for a suretie that God hath made him both Lorde and Christe this Iesus I say whom ye haue crucified The end and drift of these words is that being entred into league with so faithful a Lord who hath redeemed them from the power of darkenesse neither with golde nor siluer but with his owne blood making theÌ„ his owne peculiar and not onely he so purchased them but he protecteth and preserueth them being so purchased with a speciall care they might safely and with assured confidence of minde committe themselues vnto him yea and yeelde vp themselues to be kept for euer Againe they are also admonished that they are not in their owne power but are bought with a price that both in bodie and soule which are Gods they may glorifie God 1.

The tribe shall not desist from Iehudah nor the Lawgiuer from the middest of his feete vntill his sonne come and obedience of peoples be made vnto him fulfilled in the 2. of Luk. ver 1. Where the whole worlde is taxed and therefore nowe the scepter was departed from Iuda when the tribe of Iudah was taxed of Augustus and therefore also Marie together with Ioseph And herevnto belong those prophesies which are to be seene in the 6. of Zacharie ver 11.

THou hast vnderstodde most dearely beloued youth and flower of the Church the purpose of this my little worke by the preface to the most noble Elector Palatine onely it remaineth that thou take it with the same hande wherewith it is reached vnto thee that is with the right hand and not with the left That shal be done if I shall acheiue my purpose and by the grace of God shall kindle many from amongest you to the feruent study of the holy scriptures Surely I my selfe being but yet a boye was woÌ„derfully kindled with a desire both of learning teaching others concerning God in outward shew vpon very small occasion but indeede vpon very great for I fell vpon the writing of a certaine excellent learned man where almost euen to this purpose he exhorteth youth there is nothing more excellent saith he than for men to teache others concerning God as touching the creation of mankinde of mans fall into sinne of reconciliation and restoring of him againe through the sonne of God that same promised seede of the woman that shall bruse the head of the serpent c. These seemed to me altogether religious and holy sayings and it pleased the Lord by these wordes to kindle in me the sparkes of a feruent desire both of learning and in time to come of instructing others either in the schoole or in the Church For I set before mine eies the company of young men in the schoole also the flocke of learners in the Church What can be more notable thought I then to haue there before me not onely young men but also hoare headed husbandmen who together with thy selfe are banished froÌ„ paradise for sinne like AdaÌ„ til the earth who for their old age are reuerend and as fathers many women also who are as mothers if the Lord will haue thee to speake his word vnto these and to instruct them of God of the creation and preseruation of the worlde of the subtiltie of the serpent deceauing man of the promised saluation by the seede of the woman what can be more comfortable what can happen vnto thee more to be wished for of God seeing without the knowledge of these thinges men liue more miserably than brute beasts The Lord continually after that time nourished these sparks in me by his holy spirit and by the reading of the holy scriptures I was then a boye of fifteene yeres olde and a little before for studies sake sent to Paris by my parents But to what ende speake I these thinges so familiarly I speake as a young man to young men hoping that it will come to passe that those things which were not of small moment in my minde will likewise in your mindes kindle the sparkes which may engender that earnest desire aswell of learning as of teaching And so much the more wheÌ„ you shall perceaue your selues not only prouoked by my example but also God giuing you grace holpen by this my little labour For although before I was sixteene yeres old wheÌ„ I was sent to Paris I had some direction by my schoolemaisters who yearely before Easter did expounde vnto vs in the schoole called Treuiror the passion of our Lord Iesus Christ and were wont according to the measure God had giuen them to conferre the figures of the olde Testament with the accomplishing thereof by the passion of Christ a thing very comfortable which afterwards by the grace of God opened vnto me the whole scope of the scriptures yet notwithstanding that handleading was more dark obscure by reason of the multitude of mens traditioÌ„s in which Christ dead raised vp againe was wrapped darkened in the popedome so that I coulde not well vse that light which by the conference comparing of those figures and the fulfilling of the thinges themselues I did see to shine in the passion of Christ But yet for all that that same weake foreknowledge in his time God blessing it wanted not his excellent fruite But here dearely beloued youth you shall see Christ dead and raised vp againe without any mazes of mens traditions so liuely set before your eies that by the sure and vndoubted propheticall and apostolicall worde as it were by the hand yea as by a light shining in a dark place being brought vnto him you may knowe him truely to be the same who was made vnto vs of God to be our wisedome righteousnesse sanctification and redemption as it is written All that glory let them glory in the Lorde 1.

Last of al for asmuch as the vnthankefulnesse of the world doth driue away and feare many both from learning and teaching goe to shall not Christ punish the worlde for this vnthankefulnesse If he remaine faithfull ought not this to satisfie vs Christ the Lord of heauen and earth will not suffer you seruing him to be altogether destitute of necessary things but he that prouideth seede to the sower he also will prouide bread for foode I haue oftentimes thought of that same saying of Christ Luk. 22. When I sent you without bagge and scrippe and shoes wanted ye any thing his disciples aunswered Nothing yea they did not once remember whether they should neede any helpe for their iourny executing of their office The same Christ yet liueth raigneth God for euer who hath the hearts of all in his hands that he may do good to all faithfull pastors euen as he had commanded be it that he spake neuer a word to the widowe of Sarepta that shee should giue foode to her seruant Elias
