come forth But having mentioned that hour or time coming that then was already begun as a distinct hour or time of it selfe he then mentions this as another and following hour in which all that are in the Graves shall hear his voyce and shall come forth c. This hour then shall not come untill that be finished that was then already begun Yen 3 That it shall immediatly succeed that is evident also in the expressions In that of the first he saith the hour is coming and now is and then with reference to that saith of the following the hour is coming as who should say The next after this hour or time that now is or is already begun it shall follow it at the heeles Now then for our understanding the time of the Resurrection of the dead and of eternall judgment as expressed and signified to us by our Saviour in this text It s needfull for us to consider 1. What is that hour or time mentioned in the 25 verse as coming and already come or begun 2 What is that hour or time immediatly following or coming next after that mentioned in the 28 verse after which is our enquiry 1 The hour or time mentioned in the 25 verse of which our Saviour saith it was coming and was then already begun it appeares by comparing it with the former verses to be the time of the ministeriall preaching of the voyce or woâ—d of the son of God in mans nature as already come in the flesh which was begun by the Lord himselfe his forerunner John preparing the way to it And confirmed by those that immediately and personally heard and received it from himselfe Hebr. 2. 4. This ministration or dispensation is called the preaching of peace by Jesus Christ Act. 10. 36. His speakeing from Heaven as distinguished from Moses ministration or speaking on earth Hebr. 12. 25. For though this voyce did begin to come forth in our Saviours personall ministration on earth yet it was confirmed and given forth in full by him from Heaven after his ascension in that wonderfull pouring out of the holy Ghost on the first witnesses And by them to all Nations for the obedience of faith And he is spiritually present with it to the end of the World yea that beginning of the coming forth of it in his personal ministration on earth was also his speaking from Heaven He being then in the bosome of the Father so as never man was did more fully and clearly reveale him And so it s here called the voyce of the son of God even of the only begotten son of God that was in the bosome of the Father as Joh. 1. 18. Both as now already begun in his personall ministration and as after more fully to come forth from him when ascended into Heaven in that ministration of the spirit which yet was not so given till he was glorified Joh. 7. 39. This is that called the coming forth of grace and truth by Jesus Christ of the fullnesse of which ministry the Apostles received after his ascension And so called as distinguished from the coming of the law by Moses Joh. 1. 16 17 18. The preaching of the Kingdom as distinguished from the Law and the Prophets Luk. 16. 16. The manifestation of the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Christ as distinguished from the former witnesses of it in the Law and Prophets Rom. 3. 21 22. Christs bringing life and immortallity to light by the Gospell 2 Tim. 1. 10. And so the testimony of the Lord verse 8. And here the voyce of the son of God his word preaching or ministry Gods speaking to us by his Son as distinguished from his speaking in sundry manners in former times Hebr. 1. 1 2. Now the time of the continuance of this ministry is expresly shewed to be To the end of the World in this corruptible state of it or the World that now is All power saith our Saviour is given unto me namely in mans nature even in that body in which he bore our sins to the Tree being now raised from the dead and as the great and last Prophet to the Nations Gods light to the Gentiles and his salvation to the ends of the Earth Goe yee therefore Disciple the Nations baptizeing them that is in pouring out this word or Doctrine upon them Publishing his name and repentance and remission of sins in it for all And also in outward sealing or witnessing the truth of that in that ordinance of baptizeing with water in that name And so baptizeing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Ghost as now come forth in him Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and loe I am with you alwayes to the end of the World Math. 28. 18 19 20. And so the Apostle saith They had received the grace of Apostleship fully to make known and give forth the preaching of Christ which was kept secret since the World began but was now given by the Father to the man Christ raised from the dead As the last and great Prophet even the same which he began personally to preach on Earth The fullnesse of which he had now given to them as his Ambassadors for obedience of the faith among all Nations for his name Rom. 1. 5. 16. 25 26. 2 Tim. 4. 17. Yea our Saviour further saith That this Gospell of the Kingdome must be preached in all the World for a witnesse unto all Nations And then shall the end come Math. 24. 14. This ministration is to continue till then whence 't is called the dispensation of the fullnesse of times Eph. 1. 10. And those gifts that are so given unto the Church as that they are said to be set in it as distinguished from those that were added to accompany them chiefly in the beginning of that dispensation 1 Cor. 12. 28. with Eph. 4. 11. They are so given and set in it for that work of the ministry and to be exercised therein till we all come in the unity of the faith and acknowledgement of the son of God to a perfect man to the measure of the full age of Christ in his body The Church even till the time when they shall all be brought together in a perfect state in the first resurrection Eph. 4. 11 12 13. Whence also the times and ages or dayes of the World that now is from the beginning of the coming forth of that voyce of the son of God are called the last dayes as distinguished from those former sundry times in which God spake in divers manners Hebr. 1. 1 2. yea the last time or age of the World and the time of the last dispensation or ministration to be given to it 1 Joh. 2. 17 18. with Eph. 1. 10. The hour or time of the voyce of the Son of God or of the preaching of Jesus Christ and by him in the man our Saviour shewes to be the last After he
had sent divers servants before last of all he sent the Son himself Math. 21. 37. 2 We come next to enquire what is that hour or time immediately succeeding or coming next after that time of the ministeriall preaching of Jesus Christ forementioned After the finishing of which there shall be no more meanes used nor time afforded to the World that now is nor shall there ever be any more need of such gifts or such exercise of them as is now appointed for the work of the ministry by the Saints in this time of their imperfection though the matter of the voyce preached shall then be the matter of their song and gloriously commemorated by them among all the Nations in the World to come The hour or time then coming after and immediately succeeding that hour or time mentioned in vers 25. Cannot be in any time or ages of the World that now is nor untill the second personall appearing of Jesus Christ from Heaven For till then this time forementioned lasts And is therefore called the last time or age of the World that now is as we have already shewed The time therefore under consideration must needs be the time of the World to come which immediately followes at the heeles of this and upon that second and glorious appearance of the mighty God our Saviour as 2 Pet. 3. So that it is the World to come of which we speak and of which our Saviour speakes in this 28 verse The hour is coming in the which all that are in the Graves shall hear his voyce and shall come forth some to the Resurrection of life and others to the Resurrection of damnation It is the time of his glorious personall appearing from Heaven upon earth to put an end to the World that now is And create new Heaven and new earth and restore the whole Creation And the time of his glorious Kingdom on the earth in the World to come in which all things shall be visibly and gloriously subdued to him 2 Tim. 4. 1. After which time shall be no more Now then that there shall be such a time after the ministeriall preaching of peace by Jesus Christ hath been continued its time for a witnesse to all Nations such a time I say as in which the Son of man shall personally appear from Heaven on the Earth in that glory he now possesseth for us in Heaven in that body in which he bore our sins to the Tree And shall then put an end to the World that now is and make new Heavens and new Earth and take to him his great power and reigne on the Earth till all his enemies be subdued And that all that whole time of his appearing and Kingdom is called one time or day of the son of man the great day of Christ the hour or time that is coming and not yet come And that that time or day of his appearing and Kingdom is the time of the dead that they shall be raised and judged See a little of the Scriptures Testimony to each of these 1 That there shall be such a time after the ministeriall preaching of peace by Jesus Christ as aforesaid see Peters Testimony Act. 3. 19 20 21. of the times of refreshing which saith he shall come from the presence of the Lord when he shall send us Jesus Christ who before saith he was presence unto you namely before that time of Gods sending him again viz. in this present hour or time that now is after the finishing of which God shall send us the same Jesus whom they crucified in the glory which he now possesseth for us whom the Heaven must receive till the Restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the World began To which agrees the testimony of the Angels this same Jesus which is taken up from you into Heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him goe into Heaven Act. 1. 11. As he appeared once in the last Ages of the World in that one body which the Father prepared for him in our nature to put away sin by the sacrifice of himselfe and so was once offered to beare the sins of many So he shall appear the second time in the same body but without sin or any imputation or fruites of it upon him even in the glory he now possesseth for us to the utmost salvation of those that now look for him Hebr. 9. 26 28. Those that have their conversation in Heaven do look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven as Phil. 3. 20. Coll. 3. 4. Tit. 2. 13. And though others scoffe at the promise of his coming yet that day of the Lord will come to them as a Theife in the night In the which the Heavens shall pasle away with a great noise and the Elements shall melt with servent heate the Earth also and the works therein shall be burnt up And so it shall be as the dayes of Noah and of Lot to the dissolving all these things and putting an end to this corruptible state of the World Luk. 17. 25 30. Neverthelesse we according to his promise look for new Heavens and a new Earth in which dwelleth righteousnesse 2 Pet. 3. 4 14. yea in that his coming he shall still sit on the right hand of power Math. 26. 64. and reigne on the earth ministring judgment to the people in righteousnesse Psal 9. 7 8. 96. 13. 2 Tim. 2. 12. Rev. 5. 10. 20. 4 6. And then when he takes to him his great power and reignes as Rev. 11. 17. all things shall be visibly and gloriously subject to him for he shall put down all rule power and authority and reigne till all his enemies be put under his feet and then deliver up the Kingdom to the Father and God shall be all in all when time shall be no more 1 Cor. 15. 23 28. with Hebr. 2. 5 8. 2 That all that whole time of his glorious personall appearing and Kingdome is together and by it selfe as distinguished from the first day of the son of man In which he once personally appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himselfe and hath abollished death And in which also he personally began and mediately continues a gracious and spirituall ministration bringing life and immortallity to light through the Gospell I say as distinguished from that whole day or time of the son of man All this time of his glorious appearing and Kingdome is called one of the dayes of the son of man Luk. 17. 22. Where after he hath told the Pharisees that the Kingdome of God cometh not with observation ourward shew of glory or worldly pomp as they expected But that the Kingdome of God was now amongst them brought to them in the ministration and preaching of it by him he then further tells his Disciples that they should desire to see one of the dayes of the son of man namely that of his
that the Father is by whom and for whom all things were made that were made yea all Thrones Dominions Principallities and Powers and so he the proper Lord and Heyre of all the Kingdome and Glory and of all things and Persons that were made by his Divine and eternall Generation Joh. 1. 1 2 3. Coll 1. 15 16. Prov 8. 22 c. which shewes the excellency of his person and so his abillity for all he undertook by the appointment of the Father for our help and escape And argues the vilenesse of our sin and the wretchedness of our condition by reason of sin seeing righteousnesse help and escape for us could not be had or found in any lesse price or ransome or by any other meanes or way attained But by the so deep abasement and suffering of so excellent a Person Gods only begotten Son The Lord from Heaven As likewise it infinitely commends the unspeakable love of God of the Father and of Christ In the Fathers free devizeing appointing and not sparing but sending forth his own and only Son and Heire to be so abased and delivering Him to such a death And in the Sons so willing and ready giving Himselfe in and through such abasement and sufferings to be a ransome or price of redemption for our sins Notwithstanding he was in the form of God and we wholly sinfull weake ungodly and enemies Further in this acknowledgment and profession of Jesus to be the Lord that is in this word of faith is contained That he is now actually made and become the same in that body prepared for him in mans nature in which he suffered and bore our sins to the Tree the same that he was as the eternall and only begotten Son of God before being through sufferings entred into his glory And glorified with the Fathers own selfe even with the same glory he had with him before the World was Phill. 2. 6 9. 10 11. Luk. 24. 26. Joh. 17. 4 5. Hebr. 2. 9 10. The Man Christ Jesus even that Jesus of Nazareth whom they crucified not an other thing or person God hath made him the Lord and Christ Act. 2. 36. He is the Son of God the Saviour of the World exalted with Gods right hand a Prince and Saviour for to give repentance and forgivenesse of sins 1 Joh. 4. 14. Act. 5. 31. yea he is the Lord and Judge of all by purchase and that in the name of the Father Rom. 14. 9 10 11 12. Act. 10. 36 42. The word was made flesh and the glory with which God hath cloathed him in that flesh or body which he prepared for him is the glory of the only begotten Son of God full of grace and truth Joh. 1. 14. He it is by whom the Father judgeth all men and executeth judgment also because he is the Son of Man Joh. 5. 22 27. And so he by in and through whom he justifieth the ungodly Act. 10. 43 with ch 5. 31. 13. 38 39. yea he will judge the World in righteousnesse by that Man whom he hath ordained whereof he hath given assurance to all men in that he hath raised him from the dead of which in the next place Act. 17 31. Nor is there any other name given under Heaven whereby we may be saved or shall be judged But the name of that Jesus of Nazareth This is the stone c. Act. 4. 10 11 12. Every spirit therefore what ever they may seem to speak of Gods love to manward or of his justifying the ungodly or judging the World That confesseth not that same Jesus of Nazareth That is already comed in the flesh and hath finished the works the Father gave him to do on Earth and is raised from the dead for our justification That confesseth him not as so to be the Lord by whom the Father judgeth all men and doth and will execute judgment because he is the son of man And so the Fountain and Well-spring of all justification and of all grace to Manward that through him they might be saved That spirit is not of God But of that spirit of Antichrist whereof we have heard that it should come into the World and even now already is it in the World For in this word of faith which is of the holy Ghost the true spirit The Son of Man even that Jesus of Nazareth is acknowledged and lifted up As the Lord of all Grace and Glory the Author and finisher of our Faith 1 Cor. 12. 3. 1 Joh. 4. 2. 5. 1. 5 Hebr. 12. 2. Ioh. 16. 14. with ch 5. 14. Iam. 2. 1. 2 There is likewise in it a testification of him That God hath raised him up from the dead who was delivered and dyed for our sins 1 Cor. 15. 3 4. 12-15 with Rom. 4. 24 25. 10. 9. That God hath raised up from the dead Jesus Christ our Lord who is the same Person that was delivered for our offences That God hath raised and exalted him after a like consideration of his Person after which he was delivered for our offences which renders his resurrection to be in an answerable sence for our justification as his being delivered was for our offences Now then for our understanding what is contained in this testimony It s considerable 1. Who it is That was Delivered and after what Consideration of him he was delivered for our offences 2. For whose offences he was delivered And 3. For what offences or for what severall sorts or kinds of offences and on what termes or how for them of each sort or kind In the understanding of which we shall also perceive what the Resurrection of Christ is that is testifyed off in this voyce of the Son of man the Word of faith And how that Resurrection is for our justification 1. It is Jesus the Lord The word that was made flesh even that only begotten Son of God whom he sent forth in the fulnesse of time made of a woman of the seed of David after the flesh That Jesus of Nazareth that was borne of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem of Judeah in the Dayes of Cesar Augustus He it is that was delivered for our offences and in that his own personall Body which the Father prepared for him by the Immediate and wonderfull work of the holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin For though the Father did make his soul an offering for our sin yet that was in that his owne body in which also he bore them to the tree and gave himselfe for our sins and when he gave up the Ghost The suffering work was finished Compare Isa 53. 4 -10. with 1 Pet. 2. 24. and Joh. 19. 30. He suffered the just for the unjust being put to death in or after the flesh 1 Pet. 3. 18. If then the flesh or Body of Christ for as much as therein he bore our sins to the tree and was delivered to the Judgment and to the prison for our offences if therefore I say that
excellency of his Person and works he makes 1 In shewing his one-nesse with the Father in all his Counsels and works vers 19 20 21. In all which its evident that he is one with the Father in mind and will and in glorious wisdome and power for doing whatever he will in Heaven and Earth and so equall with the Father in nature and glorious attributes and works he and the Father are one Ioh. 10. 30. And yet also clearly distinct in respect of the manner of their Beeing in the God-head and so in respect of the manner of their working in every work And as so considered in their distinct Relations the Father is greater then Hee Joh. 14. 28. For though the Son as the Eternall Son of God is of the same Essence or Beeing with the Father yet he is the Son of the Father yea though he hath life in himselfe as the Father hath life-in himselfe and that now in Mans nature for fallen men yet so as of the Father Joh. 5. 26. Though he doth whatsoever the Father doth yet so as by and in the Counsell Name and Authority of the Father who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ The Son saith he can do nothing of himselfe but what he seeth the Father doe yet he can doe what ever he will but he cannot will any thing that the Father willeth not he is of one mind with the Father and in his bosome Counsell and doth nothing but what he knowes and sees the Father wills and does And so he could not have healed that impotent man if he had not seen and known the Father willing and working in the same work And so if he had not received commandment from the Father As also he faith he laid down his life that he might take it again and did it of himselfe yet so as he received commandment of his Father Joh. 10. 17 18. And so he hath not otherwise spoken of himselfe but so as the Father that sent him gave him commandment Joh. 12. 49 50. He could not have tasted death for every man if it had not been in the mind will Counsell and grace of his Father whence 't is said to be by the grace of God nor could he give forth any discovery of his Fathers goodnesse or revelation of his name and therein tenders of his grace to sinners If being in the bofome of the Father he did not perfectly know it to be in his mind counsell purpose and grace And that he is working in the selfe same thing and to the same end And hath given him commandment so to speak and so to doe And this our Saviour gives as the reason why his word shall judge the rebellious Refusers in the last day because he hath not spoken of himselfe otherwise then as the Father gave him commandment Joh. 12. 48 49 50. Verily verily the Son can do nothing of himselfe but what he seeth the Father doe for what things soever he namely the Father doth these also doth the Son likewise they work together in every work and though distinctly in respect of the manner of working yet the same thing by the same his owne power and to the same end As he wrought with and in the name of the Father in all the works of Creation so now as the Son of man he worketh with and in the name of the Father in all his works of preservation and so by him all things consist and in all his providentiall Government and spirituall opperations For the Father loveth the Son namely with such manner of love and in such wise with that manner of love as he loves no other even now in mans nature he loveth him therefore because he laid down his life that he might take it again joh 10. 17 18. even as he received commandment of his Father The Father therefore hath taken up his whole delight and welpleasednesse in him as the son of man chosen him to be his fellow his equall the man of his right hand and in that love sheweth him all things that himselfe doth makes him of his counsell in every matter and in his own wisdome and name strengthens him to all that himselfe doth so that he even Christ crucified is wisdome and strength The wisdome of God and the power of God And he will shew him greater works then these namely of healing bodily Infirmities and diseases that yee may marvail That beholding the Father in him yee may admire and reverence him and fear before him that is the end of all that the Father hath given him commandment to do for and amongst men And as a discovery of those greater works then these which the Father to this end would shew him he tells them As the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them even so the Son quickens whom he will In such wise as the Father doth any work of that nature now in this day so doth the Son And so he did raise up some that were dead to life again in the days of his flesh and by his Apostles after as the Father also did the like works vertually through and by him before Hebr. 11. 35. even so he now did them in the name of his Father And those were greater works then the healing the bodily Infirmities of the Living Yea he quickens by his Word whom he will And that is all that receive it from their death in sins and trespasses spiritually now which also are greater works then those forementioned And so he promises that his servants should do those greater works then these they in his name and so he by them because he went to the Father 2 He farther makes discovery of the excellency of his Person and works in declaring himselfe to be the only mean and way by whom the Father judgeth and disposeth of men and doth whatsoever he doth in his Government of the World Giving this also as a farther Reason and Demonstration of his one-nesse with the Father in all his Counsels and works vers 22 27. For the Father judgeth no man that is immediately or otherwise then so as by the Son he doth not otherwise dispose of them or their wayes or order any thing to them or about them in his Government of them or passe sentence of Justification or Condemnation on them but hath committed all judgment to the Son because he was judged for them or had already undertaken to bear their judgment the curse of the Law as they fell under it through the first departure of the nature from God Joh. 12. 31 32. Because he humbled himselfe even to the death of the Cross in which he was made a curse for us And hath thereby redeemed us from the curse of the Law in which we must all have been for ever banished and separated from God Therefore all men are released to him and the whole judgment and dispose of them committed to him And in order thereto all power in Heaven and in Earth given
unto him even to the man Christ Jesus He is the Mediator between God and men who gave himselfe a ransome for all to be testified in due time And this that all men should honour the Son even as they honour the Father that they should acknowledge his right of Lordship by purchase and redemption and by the Fathers gift to be as large and full as is the Fathers right of Lordship by Creation and absolute propriety in And liberty to dispose of them as his Creatures for the Father hath committed all judgment to him as the Son of Man whence also his ability and fitnesse to judge is the same with the Fathers for the Father hath now actually glorified him in mans nature with his own selfe the glory he had with him before the World was haveing finished the works the Father gave him to doe on Earth which were also so accepted as finished with the Father from the beginning of the World He hath put his spirit on him to bring forth judgment to the Gentiles so that he stands in the strength of the Lord and in the Majesty of the name of the Lord his God Joh. 11. 4 5. Math. 28. 18. Isa 42. 1 6. with ch 11. 1 2. Mich. 5. 4. That Men in honouring him might honour the Father in him and that in hearing his word and through and according to it believing on the Father that sent him and whosoever so doth the Father through that word and according to it justifies them and makes them partakers of eternall life and the rest he holds under condemnation by and according to the same word doctrine law and rule of the Son of Man so bearing witnesse of him yea that men might honour him The glory the Father hath given him is such as in which he is infinitely strengthened fitted and appointed to call all the ends of the Earth as Isa 55. 4 5. 45. 22. Psal 50. 1. Math. 28. 18 19 20. Mark 16. 15 Luk. 24. 47. Act. 3. 22 26. And that in the name and power of God his Father in such wise as to make the dead to hear to open the blinde eyes and awaken those dead in sins or make his word so powerfull to the awakening them that they might in hearing hear even in the light and power of his voyce in the Gospell as that is by any meanes of his appointment witnessed preached to them and that they that in hearing doe heare may be quickned and made alive by it For as the Father hath life in himselfe so he hath given to the Son to have life in himselfe and hath given him authority to execute judgment also both here and hereafter because he is the Son of Man 3 In the verses under consideration he compleates the discovery of the excellency of his person and works and his singular one-nesse with the Father in declarâ—ng those greater and more glorious works which the Father will after shew and bring forth by him in the generall Resurrection and judgment And with this also corrects their sinfull marvelling at what he had before declared Marvel not at this for the hour is coming in the which all that are in the Graves shall hear his voyce and shall come forth c. The end and scope of our Saviour then in the text appeares to be to discover the excellency of his person and works as he is God-man the word made flesh the son of God the son of man and therein to teach and lead into the understanding and usefulnesse of things to come even of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment by Jesus Christ he is Lord of all And ended this is the prime end and scope of all Scriptures to bear witnesse of Christ Joh. 5. 39 as the Son of God the Saviour of the world the Lord by purchase and so the Judge also of quick and dead 1 Joh. 4. 14. Act. 10. 36 42. yea this is the way of the holy Ghost in them to teach all things and lead into all truth and so to shew even things to come in the demonstration of him or by glorifying him and that in taking of his things and shewing them Therein he commends and displayes the compassionate love mercifull kindnesse and pitty of God to sinners Joh. 3. 16 17. Rom. 5. 5 6 7 8. his faithfulnesse and readinesse in giving all things with him Rom. 8. 32. And to accept all comers into delightfull love and favour without upb ayding or respect of persons 2 Cor. 5. 17. with verses 14 15. Act. 10. 34 35 43. As also his unspeakable terror against scorners that will break forth afterward if while it is to day they receive not the love of the truth to save them 2 Cor. 5. 11. 14 15. Hebr. 10. 29. Yea there he shewes mans sinfulnesse vilenesse and deadnesse in shewing him in whom his help is 2 Cor. 5. 14. And so the unprofitablenesse of all his works and therewith also the greatnesse of the evill of unbeliefe and unthankfulnesse of loving and chusing darknesse when light comes Joh. 16. 8 9 10. yea thereby he leades into all truth and so shewes things to come vers 13 14. The word of the beginning of Christ being the Doctrinall foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith towards God and of the Doctrine of Baptismes and of laying on of hands and of the resurrection of the dead and eternall judgement Hebr. 6. 1 2. Called therefore the great things of his Law the vision of all Hose 8. 12. Isa 29. 11. with ch 28. 12 16. The key of knowledge Luk. 11. 42. 52. That by an exercise of faith in him according thereto we might reape the profit and use of all Scriptures 2 Tim. 3. 15. The way in which our Saviour proceeds in pursuance of the forementioned scope and end in these verses is 1 By warning or admonishing them against sinfull marvelling such as is the proper fruit and issue of unbeliefe and an impediment to faith for there is a marvelling that 's good and commendable such as is of faith an esteeming reverencing and so admiring the unsearchable depth and excellency of the truth wisdome and goodnesse of the things believed and perceived as passing all understanding and knowledge such as that Rom. 11. 31. with Eph. 3 18 19. Phil. 4. 7. Psal 40. 5. and 71. 15 17. But that marvelling that 's not of faith but an impediment to it such as in which a man lookes upon the things set before him in thy testimony of God concerning Christ as strange absurd and incredible because he cannot comprehend it by reason such as that in Nicodemus how can this thing be Joh. 3. 9. like that Joh. 12. 34. with Hosea 8. 12. and Isa 29. 9 12. Against this our Saviour admonisheth them marvell not at this namely that which he had already declared of the present power of the voyce of the son of God by reason of the glory which the Father had given him
