A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

But why did the Apostle single out that Time and Place, more than any other, to exemplify CHRISTS Majesty, and the honour conferred on him by the Father. 2. Because Moses and Elijah appeared to him there: in all the rest of his miracles he had no company but men on earth, now he had a testimony from two glorious Saints in heaven. His command was known to be great over the creatures below, this was every day conspicuous: but that now it should extend to heaven, but was an ample show of Majesty. 2. But especially because he was caelesti gloria •• tus; his face shining as the Sun, and his raiment white as the light. Nil terrenum •• spiciebatur, sed caelestis undique refulgebat Majestas. Nothing of earth was seen, but a divine and heavenly Majesty appeared. For this was a little map of heaven, a glimpse or abridgement of that infinite glory. Before his power might appear, […] under the veil of his mortal flesh: now the manhood is become glorious. As the fire makes every thing that is cast into it, like it self: so the glory circling him, and inherent upon his body, similem sibi reddidit humanitatem, made his humanity glorious like it self.
