become_v the_o christ_n the_o lord_n anoint_v king_n to_o carry_v himself_o king_n need_v not_o seek_v protection_n or_o defence_n for_o themselves_o by_o word_n against_o the_o false_a accusation_n

find_v that_o pilate_n use_v four_o policy_n to_o save_v christ_n or_o at_o least_o to_o put_v off_o the_o business_n from_o himself_o the_o first_o be_v that_o he_o persuade_v the_o jew_n to_o take_v he_o themselves_o and_o judge_v he_o by_o their_o own_o law_n joh._n 18._o 31._o but_o this_o policy_n succeed_v not_o and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o the_o jew_n plead_v they_o have_v not_o power_n to_o put_v any_o man_n to_o death_n because_o the_o roman_n have_v take_v that_o jurisdiction_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n in_o which_o answer_n of_o they_o we_o see_v their_o horrible_a wickedness_n and_o impudency_n that_o profess_v to_o have_v resolve_v upon_o his_o death_n and_o to_o tell_v the_o judge_n so_o before_o the_o cause_n be_v open_v and_o yet_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v in_o this_o thing_n god_n have_v send_v he_o to_o die_v for_o the_o people_n and_o by_o the_o people_n his_o death_n be_v call_v for_o with_o importunity_n second_o the_o text_n say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v that_o the_o say_n of_o jesus_n may_v be_v fulfil_v signify_v what_o death_n he_o shall_v die_v for_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v deliver_v up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o be_v crucify_v and_o therefore_o this_o policy_n must_v be_v disappoint_v whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o the_o counsel_n and_o word_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o suffering_n of_o his_o people_n can_v be_v alter_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o god_n counsel_n shall_v stand_v which_o shall_v make_v we_o with_o the_o more_o patience_n to_o bear_v what_o may_v befall_v we_o see_v if_o god_n do_v it_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o we_o and_o no_o adversary_n can_v have_v their_o will_n of_o we_o further_o than_o their_o plot_n and_o practice_n do_v serve_v to_o accomplish_v god_n secret_a will_n the_o second_o policy_n use_v by_o pilate_n be_v that_o he_o take_v occasion_n from_o the_o report_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o galilean_a to_o send_v he_o to_o herod_n to_o be_v try_v before_o he_o luke_n 23._o 6_o 7_o etc._n etc._n this_o herod_n be_v he_o that_o cut_v off_o john_n baptist_n head_n and_o be_v call_v to_o distinguish_v he_o from_o other_o herod_n herod_n antipas_n pilate_n though_o he_o deal_v herein_o politic_o yet_o he_o deal_v unjust_o for_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v defend_v the_o innocence_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o violent_a and_o unreasonable_a adversary_n and_o not_o send_v he_o to_o another_o in_o the_o story_n of_o christ_n appear_v before_o herod_n observe_v 1._o the_o disposition_n of_o herod_n and_o how_o he_o stand_v affect_v towards_o our_o saviour_n the_o text_n say_v he_o be_v glad_a of_o his_o come_n and_o have_v long_o desire_v to_o see_v he_o and_o hope_v to_o see_v he_o work_v some_o miracle_n before_o he_o luke_n 23._o 8._o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o godly_a man_n and_o wicked_a man_n though_o they_o both_o meet_v in_o this_o that_o they_o desire_v christ_n or_o to_o see_v christ_n a_o wicked_a man_n desire_v more_o the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n than_o his_o word_n a_o godly_a man_n especial_o desire_v to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n my_o sheep_n hear_v my_o voice_n say_v our_o saviour_n herod_n have_v be_v so_o search_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o john_n that_o he_o dare_v not_o adventure_v to_o hear_v any_o effectual_a ministry_n afterward_o he_o have_v no_o desire_n to_o have_v christ_n to_o instruct_v he_o in_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n or_o to_o show_v he_o how_o he_o may_v save_v his_o soul_n to_o desire_v christ_n for_o carnal_a end_n as_o pleasure_n glory_n profit_n or_o the_o like_a be_v but_o a_o unregenerat_a humour_n to_o desire_v christ_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n or_o for_o his_o word_n sake_n or_o for_o the_o holiness_n we_o desire_v to_o get_v from_o he_o be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o godly_a 2._o the_o behaviour_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o work_v any_o miracle_n before_o herod_n because_o he_o know_v herod_n will_v abuse_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o make_v sport_n of_o such_o great_a work_n to_o feed_v his_o own_o vanity_n and_o beside_o our_o saviour_n constant_o apply_v himself_o to_o the_o business_n he_o come_v about_o he_o know_v then_o that_o be_v not_o a_o time_n of_o exercise_v his_o power_n but_o of_o suffer_v second_o though_o herod_n question_v with_o he_o in_o many_o word_n yet_o he_o answer_v he_o nothing_o which_o he_o do_v first_o to_o abate_v the_o pride_n and_o vanity_n of_o herod_n thereby_o intimate_v how_o little_o he_o esteem_v his_o worldly_a greatness_n and_o how_o much_o he_o contemn_v his_o levity_n and_o vanity_n of_o mind_n second_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v pearl_n before_o swine_n he_o know_v he_o shall_v do_v no_o good_a by_o talk_v to_o he_o that_o be_v a_o man_n give_v to_o so_o much_o viciousnesse_n of_o life_n and_o voluptuousness_n three_o because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o must_v receive_v his_o sentence_n not_o from_o herod_n a_o jew_n but_o from_o pilate_n a_o roman_a and_o gen●●ie_n and_o be_v condemn_v

the_o chief_a priest_n and_o scribe_n stand_v and_o vehement_o accuse_v he_o which_o our_o saviour_n endure_v and_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o god_n providence_n that_o so_o thereby_o the_o innocence_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_a which_o be_v easy_o discern_v by_o herod_n observe_v the_o violent_a and_o tumultuous_a proceed_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v

of_o himself_o without_o any_o dependence_n the_o manner_n of_o subsist_v be_v the_o furnish_n of_o a_o thing_n with_o peculiar_a relation_n include_v a_o person_n now_o than_o the_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n alius_fw-la differ_v from_o the_o essence_n only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o subsist_v because_o the_o essence_n subsist_v in_o one_o manner_n in_o the_o father_n and_o in_o another_o in_o the_o son_n etc._n etc._n they_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o essence_n for_o all_o of_o they_o have_v the_o same_o but_o only_a in_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o subsist_v of_o the_o essence_n in_o

that_o be_v not_o another_o essence_n in_o christ_n now_o there_o be_v another_o and_o another_o thing_n for_o his_o divine_a nature_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v another_o

the_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o to_o be_v the_o father_n be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o son_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o the_o person_n differ_v from_o the_o essence_n they_o differ_v

but_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n because_o the_o beam_n be_v from_o the_o sun_n so_o in_o the_o trinity_n the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v after_o the_o father_n not_o in_o time_n but_o because_o they_o receive_v the_o original_n of_o their_o person_n from_o the_o father_n relative_n be_v together_o in_o time_n only_o note_v that_o nature_n here_o signify_v the_o manner_n of_o subsist_v not_o of_o essence_n for_o in_o respect_n of_o essence_n there_o be_v no_o priority_n in_o the_o trinity_n second_o they_o differ_v in_o personal_a propriety_n as_o the_o personal_a propriety_n of_o the_o father_n be_v to_o be_v of_o himself_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o person_n unbegotten_a the_o personal_a propriety_n of_o the_o son_n be_v generation_n or_o to_o be_v of_o the_o father_n by_o beget_v the_o personal_a propriety_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n by_o spiration_n or_o proceed_n and_o thus_o each_o person_n differ_v from_o other_o by_o incommunicable_a character_n three_o they_o differ_v in_o number_n they_o be_v the_o same_o in_o number_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o essence_n because_o one_o god_n be_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a

the_o other_o person_n the_o father_n have_v one_o manner_n of_o subsist_v in_o number_n the_o son_n another_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n another_o note_v that_o i_o say_v each_o person_n have_v his_o subsist_v by_o himself_o not_o of_o himself_o àse_n four_o they_o differ_v in_o operation_n and_o so_o both_o in_o external_a and_o internal_a operation_n in_o external_a work_n though_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n wrought_v they_o be_v common_a to_o all_o three_o person_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v there_o be_v distinction_n of_o the_o person_n for_o the_o

in_o work_v as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o father_n work_v by_o the_o son_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o creation_n adoption_n sanctification_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o whole_a trinity_n as_o the_o scripture_n prove_v that_o attribute_n creation_n to_o the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o son_n and_o to_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o of_o the_o other_o work_v all_o three_o person_n work_v the_o

that_o god_n call_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n to_o witness_v between_o he_o and_o the_o people_n at_o sundry_a time_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n second_o the_o example_n of_o the_o faith_n
