mankinde from the paines of hell which hee had deserued to ouerthrow Sathan the prince of hell to dissolue his workes which are sinne and death to deliuer mankinde which are vnder his subiection to purchase for him Gods fauour forgiuenes of sinnes and eternall life Christ on the crosse offered vp his soule and body a sacrifice to saue our soules and bodies On the crosse hee suffered in soule and body to make satisfaction for our sinnes committed in soule and body And the suffering in both was so great that he cried aloude My God my God why hast thou forsaken me In that he said my God with a repetition hee assured himselfe still of his fauour of his protection and of deliuerance by that speech he despaired not but expressed the greatest sorrow the heauiest paine that could be endured for the redemption of mankinde We haue heard what a notable sacrifice Christ offered on the crosse not the bloud of goates or calues but his owne bloud to purge our consciences from dead workes to serue the liuing God This is that sacrifice which was figured by the Paschall Lambe by the brasen serpent lifted vp in the vvildernesse by the whole burnt sacrifice by the peace offering A remembrance of this sacrifice is our cōmunion of bread and wine the one representing Christs bodie rent the other his bloud shed for our sinnes This is that sacrifice whereby Abel Noe Abraham Isaac and Iacob all the faithful Patriarchs and Prophets all the beleeuing persons from the beginning were saued For Christ is the Lambe slaine from the beginning of the world Slaine in the figure in the purpose of God in the vertue of his passion from the beginning of the world Then is Christ slaine to euery one vvhen hee beleeueth him slaine Iesus Christ yesterday and to day the same for euer From the beginning of the world to his ascension that is yesterday from his ascension to the common resurrection that is to day from the common resurrection for euer he is one Therefore one faith one religion one kinde of Sacraments in substance one way to heauen from the beginning one spirituall meate drink Our fathers did all eate the same spirituall meate vvhich vve eate and drinke the same spirituall drink which we drink They dranke of the Rocke which followed them and the rocke was Christ For though they did eate Manna and dranke water out of the rocke yet the faithfull spiritually did feede on Christ because that visible meate they vnderstood spiritually they hungred after it spiritually they did taste it spiritually that vvith it they might be satisfied spiritually And Bertramus saith that our fathers did eate the selfe-same spirituall meate which we eate because one and the same Christ fed the people in the wildernesse with his flesh and refreshed them with his bloud and now feedeth the faithfull in the Church with the bread of his bodie and refresheth them with the vvater of his bloud But what is it to eate the flesh of Christ It is to rest vpon him vvith a sure trust by his grace spirit presence to be fed nourished susteined to eternall life Or as Christ himselfe saith He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud abideth in mee and I in him To eate the flesh of Christ and drinke his blood is to abide in Christ and to haue Christ abiding in vs. And therefore S. Augustine saith hee that abides not in Christ and in whom Christ abideth not eateth not spiritually the flesh of Christ although visibly and carnally he presseth with his teeth the Sacrament of the body and bloud of Christ but rather eateth the sacrament of so great a thing to his condemnation Whereby it may appeare that we at this day preach the selfe same Gospell which was in the beginning of the vvorld that is vvee preach Christ crucified which was opened to our first father in paradise renewed to Abraham and all the Patriarchs figured by all the sacrifices of the Law witnessed by the Prophets pointed vnto by Iohn Baptist preached by Iesus Christ himselfe and deliuered by his Apostles And therefore it is most true ancient catholike and apostolike Now to the things vvhich hapned about the time of his passion the graues did open the dead bodies which slept arose the vaile of the temple did rent in twaine from the top to the bottome the earth did tremble the stones did cleaue asunder These things declared that a notable person suffered yet the Iewes were not touched These vnsensible creatures were moued yet the Iewes hearts were hardned The Centurion when hee saw what was done glorified God saying Of a suretie this man was iust The souldiers that watched him when they saw the earth quake and the things that were done feared greatly saying Truely this was the Son of God A confession to the glory of God to the comfort of themselues to the prouing of a Sauiour and to the terror of the Iewes This man whom yee haue contemned whom ye haue condemned whom yee haue reuiled whom yee haue scourged whom ye haue crucified truely was the Sonne of God The renting of the Temple the quaking of the earth the cleauing of the stones the opening of the graues the rising of the dead doe proue that truely he was the Sonne of God and without all doubt a iust man A iust man indeed For in his heart was neuer euil thoght out of his mouth neuer proceeded euill word with his body he neuer wrought ill deede but in heart hee was alwaies tender and louing in word gentle and meeke in dealing iust and vpright Yet was he accused condemned and put to a most shamefull death the death of the crosse as a most notorious malefactour And all this was done to worke the worke of mans redemption Here come in certaine questions The first is whether Christ could haue deliuered himselfe from their hands The answere is he could For he is God omnipotent but he did not that the scriptures might be fulfilled that our redemption might be made that our saluation might be accomplished The second question is whether the Iewes were to be excused seeing it was the good will of GOD that CHRIST should die The answere is in no wise Because they did it of ignorance enuie and malice And whereas good came thereby to mankind that was to be ascribed to Gods goodnesse which did turne their sinne to a good end Deus tam bonus est vt ex malis eliciat bona God is so good that he turnes euill to good The third question is whether all they are damned which put Christ to death I dare not so say seeing Christ prayed for them Father forgiue them they know not what they doe But this I say whosoeuer of them died not beleeuing that person to be the Sonne of God the onely Mediator betwixt God and Man the onely redeemer and purchaser of forgiuenes of sinnes the onely high priest of good things to come whosoeuer I say departed out of
