save sinners no Tyrant no usurper Jesus Christ is Lord. Lord before by that he is Sonne And now Lord againe by vertue of his proper quod saith Bishop Andrewes As God he was ever Lord but not ever Lord as God and man At 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 we found he had a time and a cause for this who had no time nor cause beside himselfe for the other Nor yet may it be thought that he assuming our flesh received meliorationem in humiliatione any melioration thereby as Saint Athanasius speaketh 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For thereby he was imperfect and made perfect for us saith S. Chrysostome For us the one and the other Neither the one in himselfe nor for himselfe the other No such thing no It is we by his taking on himselfe our infirmities are made perfect in him Not then annointed that he might be God or King or the Sonne or the Word but as God● and the King and the Sonne and the Word he annointed us in himselfe that we also through him should be the Lords annointed Thus we proclaime him Lord and with great triumph now because we are now sure he is our Lord. Lord in ours and of us Lord. And being so ours the Rhemists in their Paraphrase here have not misinserted our Though he were iste as before that one whom the world contemned yet in his greatest obscurity or hatred he was ever the magnified Lord. When he lay in the Manger a multitude of the heavenly hoast sung his praise The Angel sent Shepheards to tell him to the Jewes the Heavens sent a Starre to shew him to the Gentiles and the East Wisemen to worship him in Bethlehem The very infants left their Mothers breasts to yeeld their lives in testimony of his Lordship Who hath heard or read any thing and hath not read or heard either of the voyce proclaiming him from Heaven or of the Devils confessing him the Son of God or of his transfiguration on Mount Tabor or of his commanding the creatures even the most lawlesse the Wind and the Sea or of his miracles in multiplying a small quantity of food to satisfie thousands in curing all sorts of diseases in casting Divels forth of the possessed and in raising the dead or of the confounding of his apprehenders or of the theeves request on the Crosse or of the darknesse then over all the Land or of his giving up the Ghost the renting of the Temple the quaking of the earth the sundring of stones the opening of the graves and the appearing of the dead Who can minde these or any of these and not confesse that the Lord was here in our flesh But when we consider that Christ at his owne set time resumed the life he laid downe and trampled the powers of Hell under his feete when we behold his Ascension and animadvert his visible sending of the Holy Ghost doe we not see that Christ is Lord when we heare of his Apostles losing their lives for their Master and of those multitudes of Martyrs throughout the tenne persecutions under all manner of torments faithfull to him what will wee say Shall I teach every one what to say Even with Saint Thomas My Lord and my God John 20.28 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for how is hee not to be reputed God who crownes those that truely confesse him with the glory of Martyrdome saith Cyrillus Alexandrinus All the Fathers in the Councels of Nice Constantinople Ephesus Chalcedon and in the more and more corrupted after giving him the place anathematize every one that decries his Lordship Our Church also ever blessed be God according to the Scriptures in an holy emulation of the most religious and learned doth in her Liturgy promote him Lord. Who preacheth the contrary let him be Anathema Maran-atha Confessed he is Lord But what Lord is next Even the Lord Paramount no mesin or pettie Lord. Lord of all of the three Regions before and of the orders of confessours there Lord of Heaven saith the reverend Bishop he gave the Keyes of it Matth. 16.9 Lord of earth he hath the Key of David and of every Kingdome else Rev. 3.7 Lord of Hell the Keyes of Hell and death are his Rev. 1.18 Heaven is his Throne Earth is his footstoole Hell his prison Heaven Earth Hell and all there are his Seigniory He is within without above beneath penetrating compassing guiding sustaining all things Elohim that being which in three persons is individually one and of those three that one person which being neither the Father nor the Holy Ghost is still the same with both Jehovah the Creatour Redeemer and Sanctifier Not that the Father and the Holy Ghost are excluded in these workes but neither doth either without him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Septuagint ever translate 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and is our Apostles here He that is sure and makes all sure The gracious beginning defensive continuing and finall ending Sure in election sure in vocation sure in justification and in glorification sure Rom. 8.29 30. Lord that is as appeares out of the Saxon record one that affordeth bread And so doth Christ for he is the true Laford that once feasted the whole world with his owne body and bloud the bread and drinke of eternall life He is still the foode of our soules and we have no refection but in and through him Nay he gives us all we have that all we have might be for his use Lafdians then should we the children of his Spouse be that is faithfull distributers of the bread our Lord affordeth If you will here understand the temporall staffe of bread may I not truly say Never was more Lording in England and in England lesse bread distributed never But if you intend it spiritually I blesse God for the great care taken that the Word may be constantly distributed and I would there was as great that it might be sincerely preached I meane that there might be no perverting of the Scriptures no denying of the publike administration of the Sacraments But what pity it is that who rightly and duly observe both should lose the Name and be counted Antichristian I tremble thinking what things of lower degree come within the bounds of Sacriledge Christ saith Who honour his honour him then who dishonour his dishonour him But we are contented to be the contemned on earth that none of the poore in spirit may want the spirituall bread and I wish that the more able were as forward that none might beg their temporall Is it forgotten how David revenged the Shaving of his Embassadours and the cutting off of their garments Certainely if repentance doe not prevene the Lord will remember those that preach downe the Hierarchy of the Church He will remember and not forget their followers that run with violence not to extirpate it onely but to trample it and all the Ministers of God under it in the very filth of infamie I write no unknowne

thing but wish it were not so knowne that it might not be thus written If I have beene over bold now in the Apostles words I beseech you brethren that yee know them which labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you I beseech you that yee have them in singular love for their workes sake Be at peace among your selves 1 Thes 5.12 13. Be at peace and in this yee confesse that Jesus Christ is Lord. For peace is his He is the God of peace 1 Thes 5.23 and our peace too Ephes 2.14 He cannot be acknowledged the peace-maker betweene God and us nor we his members whilest we be at hatefull oddes among our selves Where love is not the Holy Ghost will not be and where he is not no man can as he ought say that Jesus Christ is Lord 1 Cor. 12.3 For confessing him Lord we confesse more then he in himselfe is our selves also to be in obedience unto him Who keepe not in his service deny him to be their Lord. For it is not enough with Saint Peter to cry Lord save I sinke Matth. 14.30 unlesse also we can with Saint Paul say Lord what wouldest thou that I should doe Acts 9.6 and doe what the Lord wils With the whole man too outwardly and inwardly where and as he requires He being wholly ours who are onely his will be whole to him Soules bodies lands goods lives and all are at his service So he be ours and we his let him doe with us as he pleaseth He saved us and we will be governed by him To whom he hath beene Lord Jesus to us be he Jesus Lord. The Ebionits Samosatenians that deny the greatnesse we affirme requisite in our Mediatour to salvation The Anabaptists Brownists Barrowists Separatists that seclude whom they please as if none save their holy on earth might ever be Saints in Heaven and yet handle our Saviour as if he were to serve their turns alwayes and they him onely when and as they list And the Simonians Menandrians Pseudo-Christs that sacrilegiously impropriate his vertue are condemned at 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For there confessing our deliverance from such evill we confesse the greatnesse of our Saviour also and acknowledge him the onely able for us and not onely for us but for the sinnes of the whole world We say not whose he is not but knowing him to be ours rest in that The Valentinians Marcionits Manichees with the other Opinats or Docits that make Christs death fictitious to take away the truth of his Sacrifice The Ethnicks that in opposition preferre Apollonius Tyanaeus before Christ the Novatians Rogatists Maximinianists Circumcelliones that borrow the broome of Donatus to sweepe the Church The Jewes Chiliasts Aeternals that provide for the Messias as if his Kingdome were of this world and our happinesse in the various delights thereof And the Papists that like the Heathen have set up a great Cauldron to purge souls in equall traditions to the Scriptures and make the Pope head of the Church are condemned at 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For there we confesse him such a Priest such a Prophet such a King as never the like In his propitiation the ransome is unvaluable in his institution the doctrine infallible in his government the supremacie incommunicable All these onely in him infinite may not be held by any other The Basilidians Origenists Arrians Apollinarists Donatists that saying there was a time when Christ was not impiously call the Sonne of God the first begotten creature The Artemonits Photinians Monophysits that will not have him God before he was incarnate The Semi-arrians whether Acatians that affirme the Sonne to be like the Father or Ennomians that teach him of another nature then the Father or Aetians that make him unlike in all things to the Father or Eudoxians that hold him as a servant of the Father The Carpocratians Messalians Coluthians that denying God the administration of the world bestow the Lordship over men on the evill Angels The Marcionits Manichees that deeming the world a worke unworthy of Divine providence substitute some Atlas to sustaine it The Pontificiaries Socinians that question the sufficiencie of Christs Lordship And Schismatiks or relapsed Protestants that scorne to give him due and full worship are condemned at 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For there Christ is confessed the eternall God consubstantiall and coequall with the Father The same before the Incarnation and no other now Lord of all above and below ruling his servants graciously in peace and trampling his enemies under his feete in ire Nothing may controll him nor is any thing too little for his providence This and all we maintaine from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and still the argument is the Union and our salvation True Christians we considering humility the basis of glory can value our Saviour even by his disrespect in the world Who would save it Jew and Gentile from sinne must be reckoned among sinners He therefore being the Sonne of the Highest the lower he appeared for us the more he shewed his love For in that estate not losing his owne all his gaines redound to us Because he could not be unlorded in ours we are dignified in his Not so as if he having served our turnes we should no longer serve him but that his annointing descending on us we might walke in the odour of his unguents He the constituted Priest to mediate by redemption and intercession we his sanctified to offer in faith the fruits of regeneration prayers praises good workes and a holy life He the Prophet by the Word and the Spirit to instruct we the Disciples to beare the characters of the one and set forth the graces of the other He the King ruling in might and mercie to preserve we the subjects in feare obedience and faithfulnesse to observe his pleasure in fighting against the enemies and maintaining the peace of his Kingdom Such we confesse him and our selves such confessours through him Nor is this all Our King our Prophet our Priest our Saviour is not transiently ours but eternall he Not now and not hereafter the same now and ever What comfort have we We being annointed shall never be feared nor ever fleeced being his saved For Jesus Christ is still that Lord which the Sonne of God he was before the Incarnation He hath the Keyes to unlocke Heaven and the Keyes to locke up Hell In whose hands we are none can snatch us from him Because he is that being whence all things have being and the immutable God having elected us will never alter his purpose That he will not we can domonstrate that He informes us by his Word confirmes us by his Sacraments and replenisheth our hearts with heavenly desires Our thoughts our words our workes tend to him And such is our reverence in adoring that if an unbeleever should be present at our publike service he falling downe would say Verily God is among us and with us confesse that Jesus

glory of God the Father that Jesus Christ is Lord. Saint Chrysostome applies his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as often as he useth it on the place unto 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This that Christ is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Father is the highest demonstration of the Fathers glory Yet also 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when I say that such a one he is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 even in this that I so say I doe againe glorifie God As if the Father having glorified the Sonne and himselfe being glorified in him we confessing it doe our way somewhat glorifie both Both for the great things we speake of the Sonne goe to the Father also And but somewhat 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for it is but little to the glory of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that the world should adore him saith the same Father Not that this little doth adde any thing to his glory but his glory is in our small measure set forth by such acknowledgement Not more or lesse in it selfe for us by us more or lesse declared onely It is our duty of thankfulnesse 1 Cor. 6.20 He hath redeemed us and we have need to cast our eyes on him Totum quod recte colitur Deus homini prodest non Deo as Saint Augustine Not for want in him but for our supply The Fountaine gaines not by our drinking there nor the light by our seeing it Our recourse to him argues his fulnesse and our indigence Yea to returne all in humility to him is the onely way to keepe him most bountifull unto us For whosoever shall confesse him before men him will he confesse before his Father which is in Heaven Matthew 10.32 Who deny him by him shall be denied v. 33. Christ ever glorified the Father John 17.5 He taught us so to doe Matth. 6.9 the Apostles followed his example Acts 2.47 the blessed are alwayes in the practise Rev. 4. 5. 7. the utmost end of the sacred Trinity is the glory of God in all things Isa 63.12 14. and if here we observe the pointing of the three verses we have no stay till all be brought thereto For the ninth verse is divided by a Colon so is the tenth which shewes that neither of them are full without eleventh The eleventh then giving the period the last Comma tels whereto all before doth tend Beginne therefore at the first word of the ninth verse and from wherefore being the union of our salvation proceed and carry the exaltation of the person and Name by God descend therewith and take the exaltation of the Name and Person by us and what will become of all What I speake it with alacrity all comes to the glory of God the Father The Person before glorifying is now the Person glorified Wherein the Son did for us wherein the Father did for the Sonne and wherein we acknowledge both thereof God the Father taketh all the glory The ever blessed and glorious Virgin the Mother of God hath no part herein Her soule doth magnifie the Lord Luke 1.46 Nor any of the Saints All the Saints give thankes unto him Psal 105.10 Nor any of the Angels All his Angels praise him Psal 128.2 Nor any of the faithfull Not unto us Lord not unto us but to thy Name be the glory Psal 115.10 The Devill ambitious of it was cast into hell 2 Pet. 2.4 If any on earth entitle themselves thereto Tophet of old is prepared for the King Isa 30.33 And who attributes it unto Idols in the Law is accursed Deut. 27.15 God is in seipso sicut 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in himselfe as the first and the last in the world sicut rector author as the authour and orderer in the Angels sicut sapor decor as delight and comlinesse in the Church sicut pater-familias in domo as the goodman in the house in the soule sicut sponsus in thalamo as the bridegroome in the bride chamber in the just sicut adjutor protector as an upholder and protectour in the reprobate sicut pavor tremor as dread and horrour saith Saint Augustine If he doe all and be all in all whose is the glory That which is his peculiar he will not communicate to another Isa 42.8 Nor can he be defrauded For he is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 if you will 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 omnipresent nothing may evade him If as others 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he compasseth all things nothing comprehending him If from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 rather then he is formidable his children will not displease him and his enemies yeeld him glory in their trembling The seventy Interpreters in the Old Testament and the Holy Ghost in the New expresse 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by it The God which is the Father and the Sonne and the Holy Ghost this is he For the Hebrew word in forme plurall and in signification mighty implies the mystery of the Trinity Bring these together and if Men or Devils arrogate his glory they are sure to pay the utmost farthing But he giving all his to the Sonne as before doth neither put it from himselfe nor from the Holy Ghost Because they three being one God and the same God whatsoever is set forth in the one is not more or lesse the others Let the minde be pure at all times especially when we either speake or heare any thing of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for neither is the tongue able to speake nor the eare to heare of him as his dignity requires said Chrysostome Be religious within and consider Can we worship one Person and not another Distinguish them without division and we cannot But when it is expressed in the Scripture that as Beza noteth non possit nisi in filio gratus honor illi tribui no honour save in the Sonne can be acceptable Why should any thinke the Sonne may have too much The more the Sonne is worshipped is not the Father worshipped the more Reason will say so when no other way may be found unto him Who have another let them goe by it I am sure he points out the Sonne onely to us This is my beloved Sonne in whom I am well pleased Matth. 3.17 and 17.5 Well pleased with whom He ever was with him and now without him displeased in him is well pleased with us also And as sure I am that the Sonne sends us in his owne Name unto the Father No man commeth unto the Father but by me John 14.6 And whatsoever yee aske the Father in my Name he will give it you chap. 16. v. 23.
