The first is the promise of GOD unto Adam and Eve: Gene. 3. that the seed of a woman should break the Serpent's head. This promise was spoken of Christ, for he solely and only brake the Serpents head, that is to say destroyed the works of the devil, satisfied for sin and over came it, and also the world, hell, and the Devil, and set God and man at one, removing the occasion of Enmity, and the Enmity it self in his precious blood. Breaking the writings of our condemnation ⟨image 5⟩upon the cross, Ephe. 2. & this our Saviour and peace maker is called the seed of a woman. The which word alone were sufficient to confound the contrary part, that saith Christ toke not the substance of his humanity of the blessed Virgin. Where so ever ye find this word, the seed of a woman in the holy scripture, ye shall see always it is taken for the child, and birth that hath of the substance of his mother: and not for any thing that passeth through the mother, as the water passeth through a pipe: But that part of the mothers substance doth concur and necessarily is required to the procreation of the child as all Physic holdeth.
THe fyrste is the promese of GOD vnto Adamme and Eue: Gene. 3. that the sede of a woman shuide breake the Serpenteshed. This promese was spokē of Christ, for he solye and onlye brake the Serpētes hed, that is to saye destroyede the workes of the deuylle, satisfyed for synne and ouer came it, and also the worlde, hell, and the Deuylle, and set God and manne at one, remouynge the occasion of Ennimite, and the Ennimite it selfe in hys precious blud. Brekynge the wrytynges of oure condemnation
