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

Even as our LORD JESUS CHRIST hath showed me. I am still in the same text, and not out of the same subject; mortality: to teach you a comfortable deposition of your Tabernacle. Oh that you would hear me so well this once, that of the same matter you need not hear me again. Let me encourage your attention thus far, that in this very Theme, as Seneca said in his travels, I shall be Semper novus; always new. Peter had a revelation concerning his death: somewhat was told him of the time of his death, somewhat of the manner, somewhat perhaps of the place. Yet by no collection is it found, that he knew for time the day; nor for manner, the direct quality and kind; nor for place, punctually such a space or plot of ground. He knew much, we are not allowed it: therefore ought we to have the more preparation, by how much we have the less revelation. For methods sake, that I may not lose your attention, nor your attention lose me; that we may draw all to a Sum; Consider somewhat for substance, somewhat for circumstance. For substance, that Abeundum est nobis, we must die: for circumstance, Ubi, Quomodo, quando; How, Where, and When. To all these we resolve an answer like the Grand Jury: to the former we say, it is Billa vera: for the other we give up an Ignoramus. We know that we must depart; this is a true Bill: we know not how, where, or when; this is our Ignoramus.

Even as our LORD IESUS CHRIST hath shewed mee. I am still in the same text, and not out of the same subject; mortalitie: to teach you a comfortable deposition of your Tabernacle. Oh that you would heare me so well this once, that of the same matter you need not heare me againe. Let me encourage your attention thus farre, that in this very Theme, as Seneca said in his travells, I shall be Semper novus; alwaies new. Peter had a revelation concerning his death: somewhat was told him of the time of his death, somewhat of the manner, somewhat perhaps of the place. Yet by no collection is it found, that he knew for time the day; nor for manner, the direct qualitie and kind; nor for place, punctually such a space or plot of ground. He knew much, we are not allowed it: therefore ought we to have the more preparation, by how much we have the lesse revelation. For methods sake, that I may not lose your attention, nor your attention lose me; that we may draw all to a Summe; Consider somewhat for substance, somewhat for circumstance. For substance, that Abeundum est nobis, we must die: for circumstance, Vbi, Quomodo, quando; How, Where, and When. To all these we resolve an answer like the Grand Iury: to the former we say, it is Billa vera: for the other we give up an Ignoramus. We know that we must depart; this is a true Bill: we know not how, where, or when; this is our Ignoramus.
