20 For the father loveth. All men see how hard and far set the exposition of the old writers is. God (say they) loveth himself in his son. But this doth very well belong unto Christ being clothed with the flesh, to be beloved of his father. Yea we know that he was distinguished by this excellent title aswell from angels as from men, This is my well-beloved son. For we know that Christ was elected,1 that in him might be resident the whole love of God that it might flow thence unto us as from a full fountain. For Christ is beloved of God the father as he is the head of the church. He teacheth that this love is the cause why the father worketh all things by his hand. For when he saith that all things are showed unto him, by these words is to be understood the communication or participation: as if he should say, as the father hath poured out his mind into me, so hath he poured into me his power, that in my works y• divine glory may appear: so that men can seek no divine thing, which they may not find in me. ⟨p. 117⟩And truly we shall in vain seek for the power of GOD without Christ.
20 For the father loueth. All men see howe hard and farre set the exposition of the old writers is. God (say they) loueth himselfe in his son. But this doth very well belong vnto Christ being clothed with the flesh, to be beloued of his father. Yea we know that hee was distinguished by this excellent title aswell from angels as frō men, This is my welbeloued son. For we know that Christ was elected,1 that in him might be resident the whole loue of God that it might flow thence vnto vs as frō a full fountaine. For Christ is beloued of God the father as hee is the head of the church. He teacheth that this loue is the cause why the father worketh al things by his hand. For when he saith that al things are shewed vnto him, by these words is to be vnderstood the cōmunication or participation: as if he should say, as the father hath powred out his mind into mee, so hath he poured into me his power, that in my works y• diuine glory may appeare: so yt mē cā seek no diuine thing, which they may not find in me. ⟨p. 117⟩
