El Shadai in my name Iehoua I was not knoweÌ„ to theÌ„ VpoÌ„ this place Aben Ezra saieth that the vertue of this holie name was knoweÌ„ to Moses who wrought so wondreful thinhes in Aegypte And that the maiestie of God was knoweÌ„ to the auÌ„ciant fathers before in the name El Shadai but thei know not the power vertue of the name Iehoua al though they had the name in vse For it is writteÌ„ in the 4. of gen that in the time of Seth meÌ„ begaÌ„ne to cal on the name Iehoua But our meÌ„ haue a better expositioÌ„ of that place For thei teach that the sense is as if god shuld saie thus I opened my selfe to your fathers as el Shadai that cold fil theÌ„ with al good thinges therefore promised them a lande flowinge with miike honie But in my name Iehoua I was not made knoweÌ„ vnto theÌ„ that is to saie I haue not yet perfirmed that I promised Now I wil fulfil my promisse in dede declare that I am not only El Shadai but also Iehoua an aeternal essence beinge coÌ„staÌ„t true like my selfe in al poiÌ„tes perfirminge that I haue shewed my selfe to be For the beinge of al thinges is in me I am the autor of al thinges But now we wil returne to our texte No man hath seeÌ„ S. Io. meaniÌ„ge is nor to shew that no maÌ„ hath seeÌ„ god with bodilie eyes For though that meÌ„nes eyes caÌ„ not attaine to the sight of god whaÌ„ the prophetes ar said that thei saw the lord of hostes that was doÌ„ in image in some bodily shape which it pleased god to take for a time yet S. Io. hath another purpose namely to teache that no maÌ„ hath now or hath had heretofore anie knowlege of god but by the openinge of the lord Iesus as appeareth by these wordes he hath shewed forth The oÌ„ly begotteÌ„ Hauinge spokeÌ„ before sufficieÌ„tly of this I forbeare to speake anie more Only I wil giue you S. August wittie shorte seÌ„teÌ„ce In that he is oÌ„ly begotteÌ„ saieth he he hath no brethern in that he is first begotteÌ„ he vouche safeth to calle al them his brethern that ar new begotteÌ„ In the bosome This is a speech borowed out of the custoume of men For whan we wil signifie that we wil committe our secretes to anie man we saie that we wil admitte him to our bosome So the meaninge is that he is priuie to al goddes secretes therefore caÌ„ shew vs such heaueÌ„lie mysteries as no maÌ„ els caÌ„ declare And this expositioÌ„ S. August foloweth Cyrille thincketh that in the bosome is asmuch to saie as in the father of the father you wold saie vsinge maÌ„nes wordes in the inwarde partes of the father For he is not a peece cutte of diuided froÌ„ the substaÌ„ce of the father as it fareth in maÌ„nes begettiÌ„ge but he is so begotteÌ„ as he is stil in the father Hath shewetht forth Exegeisthai in greke is to make a plaine opeÌ„ declaration of darcke thiÌ„ges And thereby we lerne to glorie in no mannes lerninge wisedome or knowlege sith Goddes soÌ„ne oÌ„ly sheweth forth diuine mysteries al godlie wisedoÌ„ to addicte wedde our selues to no mortal maÌ„nes doctrine Finally we lerne that what so euer is affirmed taught of god with out the spirite of Christ is vncertaine therefore to be reiected Now thaÌ„ my brethern let vs no more sette one eye vpoÌ„ goddes soÌ„ne another vpoÌ„ our selues or vpoÌ„ anie maÌ„ in erth or in heaueÌ„ liuiÌ„ge halfe vndre goddes true anointed halfe vndre maÌ„nes false anoiÌ„ted but let vs fixe both the eyes of our miÌ„de vpoÌ„ him who beiÌ„ge in goddes bosome is the ful fouÌ„taine of al true knowlege al true felicitee let vs now at the last spedely trauaile forth froÌ„ BabyloÌ„ to IerusaleÌ„ froÌ„ the kiÌ„gduÌ„ of darcknes to the kingdome of light froÌ„ superstitioÌ„ to souÌ„de religioÌ„ froÌ„ haeresie to truth froÌ„ meÌ„ to god froÌ„ hel to heaueÌ„ that hauinge renouÌ„ced the whores coÌ„panie cast vp hir swete venimie we maie be receaued in to the kiÌ„ges palace see the beautie of his hoâ—se be filled ful of heaueÌ„lie ioies with god the father the soÌ„ne the holie goâ—â— to whoÌ„ in the meane while see that yoâ— reÌ„dre due thanckes and immortal praises AMEN
