§. 12. Of the particular respect wherein the title (Sonne of Man) is heere vsed.
Having spoken of this title, Son of Man, in general, let us now more distinctly and particularly consider in what respect it is here used.
HAuing spoken of this title, Sonne of Man, in generall, let vs now more distinctly and particularly consider in what respect it is heere vsed.
Many take it here by way of extenuation, as if Christ more largely had thus said, Considering that the Son of God was pleased to take upon him mans nature, and in that nature to appear unto men, and in such a shape to appear, as he could not be discerned, to be any other then a man, they which speak against him, and blaspheme him, may seem to have some pretext and excuse, because they knew him not to be the Son of God: and in that respect their sin may be forgiven them. They who take this title used here in this sense, illustrate their meaning with the similitude of a Kings son and heir, apparelled with a beggars tagged rags: if any of the subjects meeting him, but not knowing him, should revile him, and otherwise abuse him, that subject should⟨p. 592⟩ not be condemned of high treason: his ignorance of the person would extenuate his fact.
