One nature dooth not receiue in it selfe a thing contrarie diuerse But in one and the same Christ are are affirmed of him properties diuerse contrarie diuine and humane finite infinite passible impassible and such like Therefore there must needes be diuerse natures in him humane and diuine And that the very diuine nature creatresse of all thinges is in Christ Christ true man and of our kinde and nature hath bin alreadie proued It remaineth that we shew a true humane nature to be in him that such as ours is and perfect consisting of a bodie and a reasonable soule of which as of essentiall parts is made a third substance to wit this particular humanitie which the Word hauing taken once into the vnity of person doth neuer laie awaie againe Which we are to holde against heretickes both oulde and newe whereof some deny Christes fleshe to haue bin formed of the Virgins substance but will haue it brought down from Heauen into the Virgin or begotten in her of the substance of the holy Ghost Others fancie Christ to haue in steede of true fleshe the likenesse semblance and appearancie of a mans bodie Others acknowledge indeede that hee hath a true bodie but not a humane soule the roome whereof is supplied by the Woord vnited vnto the body Against these the like errors the sentence doctrine of the church is confirmed First by plaine places of scripture which testify christ Maries son to haue bin made like vnto vs in al things that is in essence in properties in infirmities sin only excepted Lu. 1.31 Loe thou shalt cōceiue in thy womb bear a son Seeing then the Virgine conceiued this her sonne in her womb bare it vntil the vsual time of deliuery and was deliuered of it as other weomen vse to bee of their children it followeth that his flesh was not brought from heauen or elsewhere taken which should but passe only through the womb of the Virgin but was formed in the Virgins womb of her seed substance Heb. 2.11 He that sanctifieth and they which are sanctified are al of one wherfore he is not ashamed to cal thē Bretheren And a litle after For asmuch as the children were partakers of the flesh and blood he also himselfe likewise took part with them Again In al things it became him to be like to his brethren Therfore he hath a humane nature of the same kind wholy with ours Heereof hee is called the fruite of Maries womb Luk. 1.42 the first begotten son of Mary Luk. 2.7 made of a woman Gal. 4.4 The seed of Abraham Gal. 3.16

doth not good fortune followe a good conscience And therefore hee murmureth against God and fretteth as did Cato and others 5. The finall causes in their chastisementes trials 5. The final causes of their afflictions and Martyrdomes Those causes are first Gods glorie The torment is lesse to the godly when they know that GOD is honoured by their sufferings and that thereby they shewe their thankefulnesse vnto him Psalm 119.75 Thou art iust O Lorde and thy iudgements are right Secondly Our saluation which is accomplished by afflictions Psalm 119.71 It is good for mee that I haue beene afflicted 1. Cor. 11.32 When wee are iudged we are chastened of the Lorde because wee shoulde not bee condemned with the woorlde Thirdly the saluation of others that is their conuersion and confirming For Actes 5. The Apostles reioyced euen because they sawe many by their ministerie to bee conuerted vnto GOD and faith to bee confirmed in others by the example of their afflictions and constancy in the truth and doctrine that they were counted woorthy to suffer rebuke for Christs name The Philosophers say It is a good end for which thou sufferest that thou maiest saue thy country and attaine vnto euerlasting renowme and glory But yet in the meane season wretched man hee thinketh what will these thinges profite me when my selfe perish But we are chastised that wee may not perish with the world 6. The comparing of ends euentes 6. The conference and comparing together of euentes It is better for a short time to be chastised of the Lord with certaine and assured hope of a glorious deliuery than to liue in plenty and aboundaunce of thinges and to be pulled from God and to run into euerlasting perdition The Philosophers conferring and comparing euils together finde but little good arising out of so manie euils 7. The hope of recompence Because the true good for the obtaining whereof they suffer euils they are wholy ignoraunt of 7. The hope of recompence Matth. 5.12 Your rewarde is great in heauen Wee knowe that there remaine other blessinges for vs after this life nothing to be compared with these momentary afflictions Euen in this life also the Godlie receiue grater blessinges than other man For they haue GOD pacified and pleased with them and other spirituall giftes and the beginning of eternall life Therefore also corporall blessinges are profitable for their saluation Marc. 10.29 There is no man that hath forsaken house or bretheren or children or landes for my sake and the Ghospels but hee shall receiue a hundred-fould nowe at this present and in the woorlde to come eternall life Psalm 37.16 A small thing to the iust man is better than great riches to the wicked Roman 5.3 Wee reioyce in tribulations A recompence in small euils doth in some sort comfort the Philosophers but in great euils not at all because they thinke that they hadde rather want that recompence than buie it so deare the reason whereof is because the recompence is but vncertaine small and transitorie 8. The example of the Sonne of GOD. For the seruaunt is not aboue his Maister Iohn 15.20 8. The Examples of Christ and his Saintes who haue suffered before vs. And God will haue vs to bee made like to the image of his Sonne Roman 8.29 And Philip. 2.5 Let the same minde bee in you that was euen in Christ Iesus 2. Cor. 8.9 IESVS CHRIST beeing rich for your sakes became poore Let vs accompany therefore Christ in ignominy and in glory For both the thankfulnesse which we owe requireth this and seeing Christ hath died not for his owne profite but for ours why shoulde wee refuse to suffer any thing for our owne profite and commodity Likewise the examples of other holy and godly men who haue suffered with the sauing both of themselues others haue not perished in afflictions but haue beene maruailouslie saued preserued Mat. 5. So did they persecute the Prophets which haue beene before you The examples therefore of holy Martyrs doe comfort and hearten vs while we thinke that we are not better than they but rather woorse And therefore ought wee much more patiently to beare our crosse Againe seeing they haue beene preserued by GOD amiddest their afflictions and haue escaped out of them wee haue confidence also that wee shall bee preserued and deliuered because the Loue of GOD towardes his is immutable and knoweth no chaunge 9. 9. The certaine presence and assistance of go●● The presence and assistaunce of GOD in all cases and chances of our life Wee know that God hath a care of vs euen in our crosse that he will defend comfort strengthen and establish vs by his spirite that wee may not through griefe and paine forsake him 1. Cor. 10.13 God doth not suffer vs to be tempted aboue our power Psal 19.15 I am with him in his tribulation Iohn 14.16 I will send you another comforter Iohn 14.23 I my father will come vnto him Ioh. 14.18 I will not leaue you comfortles Esay 49.15 Can a woman forget her child and not haue compassion on the Son of her wombe Though shee should forget 10. The final and ful deliuerie yet will I not forget thee 10 The finall and full deliuerie For as of punishment so also of deliuerie there are three degrees The first is in this life where we haue the beginning of eternall life The second is in our bodily death when the soul is caried into Abrahams bosome The third is after the resurrection of our bodies when wee shall bee both in body and soule perfectly blessed that is fully deliuered from all both sinne and punishment Ioh. 10.28 No man shall plucke them out of mine hande Rom. 8.30 Whom he iustified them also he glorified Reu. 21.4 God shall wipe away all teares from their eies Wherefore as the first consolation is the foundation and beginning so this last is the finishing and accomplishment of all the rest THE SECOND PART OF MANS DELIVERIE 12 Seeing then by the iust iudgement of God we are subiect both to temporall and eternall punishments is there yet any meanes or way remaining whereby we may be deliuered from these punishments be reconciled to God GOD will haue his iustice a Exod. 20.5 23.7 satisfied wherefore it is necessary that b Rom. 8.3 wee satisfy either by our selues or by another 13 Are we able to satisfie by our selues Not a whit Naie rather we doe euerie day c Iob. 9.2.3 15.15 Mat. 6.12 increase our debt 14 Is there any creature able in heauen or in earth which is only a creature to satisfie for vs None For first God will not d Heb. 2.14 punish that sin in any other creature which man hath committed And further neither can that which is nothing but a creature sustaine the wrath of god against sinne and e Psal 130.3 Iob. 4.18 25.5 deliuer others from it 15 What manner of Mediatour
