At the whiche doctrine as at extreame blasphemye they beeyng stirred vp catche vp stones to punishe forsooth the blasphemer but he withdrew him selfe forth of the troublesome company q A necessary point of doctrine to be learned in these 2. chap. Nowe this whole disputation of these two chapters doe furnishe vs with a moste beautifull example of a thing moste necessarye namely howe wee ought in all troubles persecutions threatnings disputations bralles reproches and tauntes of this worlde to haue an eye onelye to Christe and to the infallible worde of his Gospell as to the onelye shippe-mans starre in the tempestuous Sea and to continue faithfull in him moste constantly r What followeth The Apostle describeth moste plentifullye and moste elegantly heereafter the fifte miracle of the Lorde or benefite bestowed vpon a certayne blinde man Å¿ The vse of the myracle Whereby the Lorde Iesus as by a liuely deede confirmeth and declareth that whiche hee lately proposed to all the people in the temple namely that hee is the light of the world whiche came to lighten and quicken all beleeuers * The 9. chap. t From the 1. ver vnto the 8. For nowe by giuing sight to him that was borne blinde he signifieth and prooueth manifestly by the thing it selfe that hee is the giuer of light v In the 39 40 41. vers Yea a little before the ende of the historie extending this his deede moste largely to all men hee addeth I am come vnto iudgement in this worlde that they whiche see not might see and that they whiche see might bee made blinde which is as it were the state where vnto wee maye referre the whole historie x From the 8. ver vnto the 35 The meane whyle as vppon a certayne stage is sette foorth to the shewe a sharpe contention of the godly and vngodlye about the matter of religion and the trueth of the confession of the Gospell y In the 13 15 16 17 18 19 24 26 28 29 34 40 vers Heere are also paynted foorth the manners and dispositions not onely of the enimies of the woorde of GOD z In the 9 11 12 15 17.20 25 27 30 31 32 33 verses but of simple Christians also whose duetie francke confession a In the 36. 38. verses and increase of fayth are heere described b The application of the historie before goyng Therefore thou shalt see as in a certayne liuely picture the counsels and indeauours of the wicked whereby they persecute the trueth darken it and indeuour to oppresse it Thou shalt see their maruellous slinesse their wrath and enuie not to bee pacified and their extreeme crueltie Thou shalte see agayne the faithfulnes simplicitie sinceritie patience constancie and trueth conquering in all thinges which alwayes ouercommeth by giuing place * The

the most daintie banket of the soule and spirite is most liberally furnished and set foorth by the Sonne of God himself to the Church so that the faithfull hearer diligently considering these things may seeme to heare not a humane but a very diuine voyce and not to be at any earthly supper but being admitted into heaueÌ„ it selfe to bee a guest at God his table NotwithstaÌ„ding passing ouer those thinges which the other three Euangelists handeled both diligently and pleÌ„tifully touching this last supper Iohn setteth foorth most fully those thinges which hytherto were not committed to writing least the Church of Christ should want any thing but that it might haue a moste full Historie of the affayres of her Sauiour * The 13. cha l In the first verse Therefore in the beginning speaking somewhat in maner of a Preface m From the 2 ver vnto the 12 hee bringeth in foorthwith the Lorde washing the Disciples feete n From the 12. ver vnto the 18. and commending by that deede with certaine wordes added thereunto both humilitie and the duties of charitie expounding also the effect or fruite of his passion o From the 18 verse vnto the 30. After these things is placed a diligent and profitable disputation of Iudas his treason p In the 30. ver When as Iudas was departed foorth of the holy banket of the holy Apostles that hee might gather togeather cutters which might take Iesus q In the 31 32. verses Iesus vnderstood that his last houre now approched he seeth also that his disciples beeing oppressed with great sorowe are diuersly tempted and greeued r FroÌ„ the 33. verse vnto the end of the chap. therefore hee maketh a worthie oration vnto them with great deliberation that hee might thereby comforte his Disciples and admonishe them and fully instruct them in all his matters For this are they wont to doe which are at the point of death namely to coÌ„fort theirs to instruct theÌ„ in diuers thinges grauely to warne them For in suche manner the Lorde maketh a large and a most profitable oration vnto his Disciples heere put downe in writing vnto the 17. Chapter which for the more plainenesse wee haue deuided into two partes The former part is comprehended in the latter end of the s From the 33 verse 13 Chapter and in the 14. Chapter throughout The latter part is contained in the 15. and 16. Chapters But the Oration or Sermon of the Lorde is diuers neither is it referred to any one and certaine marke except thou respect consolation instruction For all thinges tend herevnto that the Disciples of Christe be not troubled and that they may vnderstande the mysteries of Christe and know what they shoulde doe t In the 31 32 and 33. verses of the 13. chapter And first hee intreateth of his death which because it seemed vnto the worlde to bee shamefull and infamous hee teacheth that both the father and the sonne is glorified through his death v In the 34. 35. ver Then because he must leaue them least they shoulde bee ignorant howe to behaue themselues and what lawes they shoulde keepe one with another hee doth not ouercharge them with many prescriptions but commendeth vnto them charitie only x In the 36. 37. ver Notwithstanding heere the Lordes talke is broken of a litle through the bolde bragge of Saint Peter y In the 36.37 38. ver which the Lorde cooling goeth forwarde in his purpose * The 14. cha z In the 1 ver and professeth openly that hee is very God that hee may stay vp the faith of his Disciples wherein is the surest foundation of comfort a From the 2. ver vnto the 8. He addeth that hee therefore departeth hence and dyeth that hee may open the way for vs into heauen b From the 8 ver vnto the 15 Afterwardes he sheweth Philip and the rest more fully that hee is in all thinges coequall and of one substance with the Father yea and that the Father cannot be knowen but by the Sonne c In the 15. ver And nowe also hee exhorteth them to keepe his commaundements faithfully d In the .16 and 17. verses and promiseth an other comforter e From the 18. ver vnto the 25 Moreouer hee vseth many reasons whereby hee may both comfort their sorowefull mindes stirre them vp to the vehemente studie of godlidesse f From the 25 ver vnto the 30 And heereupon hee reasoneth more plentifully of the comforter or holy Ghost g In the 30 and 31 ver and saith most plainely that he must shortly be deliuered into the handes of sinnefull men but yet so that the world shoulde bee saued thereby h What went before Hauing finished the former part of the Lorde Iesus Oration made after the Supper vnto his beloued Disciples i What followeth wee come nowe to the latter part which seemeth to bee spoken in the iourney towarde the mount of Oliues and is comprehended in the 15. and 16. Chapters k How this which foloweth agreeth with that which went before And it agreeth with those thinges which went before in this maner The Lorde had oftentimes saide that hee must departe foorth of this worlde to the Father the meane while least the Disciples shoulde suppose that they shoulde vtterly bee forsaken hee added that hee with the father and the holy Ghost woulde come vnto them and abide with them if they continue in keeping his preceptes * The 15 cha l From the 1. ver vnto the 9. Now as it were repeating the same thing after a sort inlarging the same by bringing in the most elegant similitude of the vine of the branches he reasoneth most plainely of his remaining that I may so tearme it or of his presence in the Church yea and of the true Communion of Christe and his Saintes I meane in that hee remaineth wholy in vs by his spirite by his power and by his euident operation if wee by faith and by loue remaine in him m From the 9. vers vnto 14. And verily for this cause he intreateth more copiously of brotherly loue n In the 14 15. verses And by the way he reasoneth of the worthinesse of the faithfull whome hee calleth friendes and not seruants o In the 16. ver Againe least they should be proude he addeth that this is bestowed vpon them through the free election of God which hath chosen them that they may go and bring foorth plentifull fruite p From the 17 ver vnto the 26. But the Disciples began foorthwith to feele what perilles they shoulde bee in and therefore were they not a little afraide of themselues The Lorde therefore confirming their mindes reasoneth much and diuersly of the crosse and of suffering q In the 26 and 27 ver and promiseth again the comforter which shoulde

stirre them vp incourage and confirme them in troubles persecutions * The 16. cha r From the 1. ver vnto the 16 Moreouer hee disputeth with muche profite many things concerning the effects and strength of the comforter shewing howe the holy ghost being giuen shoulde recompence his corporall presence which after his death shoulde be no whitte at all profitable vpon earth howe by him he woulde prepare his Church in the world and raigne in it s From the 16 ver vnto the 20. And yet doth he agayne put them in remembraunce that hee must first die t In the 20 ver and that herevpon his disciples shoulde be oppressed with great sorowe whom forthwith raysing vp againe by coÌ„forting them he assureth them that their sorrowe shall not be long but that the ioy which shall rise of his resurrection and folowe their sorrow shall be euerlasting v In the 21 and 22 ver And this doth he declare by the similitude of a woman trauailing x From the 23 ver vnto the 28. Moreouer least they shoulde bee ouermuche sorrowefull through the departing of his bodie into heauen hee promiseth his disciples that he will teach them all the secretes of the kingdome of God by his spirite and that hee will giue them whatsoeuer they shall aske in his name that is to say in the name of Christ y In the 28 verse and with all he gathereth into a briefe summe the whole matter of our redemption desiring to fasten this deepe in their hearts z In the 29 30 verses The which things when as the disciples receiued with great reioycing and commended professing that they did now beleeue and plainly vnderstand that he was the sonne of God a In the 31 and 32 ver he fortelleth them that they shall forthwith forsake him and euery one prouide for him selfe by fliyng away b In the last ver And in the end concluding his whole talke continued hitherto from the thirtienth Chapter and signifiyng whereunto all things must be applied hee saith These wordes haue I spoken vnto you that in mee you might haue peace for in the worlde yee haue tribulation but bee of good cheare I haue ouercome the worlde c What went before what foloweth After that our Lorde Iesus Christ had partlie comforted his disciples by these verie diuine sermoÌ„s and partly informed and instructed them against the storme of euilles imminent because he had purposely warned them that they must not put their trust in any humane thinges but in the helpe of God he doth moreouer teach by his owne example that in their afflictions the looke no whither els but to the Father of heaueÌ„ d From the 1. ver vnto the 6. * The 17. cha Now therefore preparing him selfe to suffer his passion he beginneth it with making his prayers vnto the father vnto whom first hee commendeth himselfe e From the 6 ver vnto the 20 then his Apostles f From the 20 ver vnto the end of the chap. lastly all whiche beleeue the doctrine of the Apostles beseeching him that hee woulde glorifie him and that hee woulde guide the Apostles and the Churche of the faythfull through this most vnpure worlde in the studie of the trueth of godlinesse and of charitie and that he woulde ioyne them vnto him for euer * The 18. cha g In the 1.
