26 For as the father. He showeth by what means his voice hath so great force, to wit, because he is the fountain of life, and doth pour out the same by his voice into men. For we should not have life from his mouth, unless the cause and original thereof were in his power. For God is not only said to have life in himself, because he liveth alone through his own and inward power: but because having in himself the fullness of life, he quickeneth all things, And this truly doth properly appertain unto God, as it is Psal. 36. 9. With thee is the Well of life. But because the majesty of God as it is set far off from us, might be like to an hidden & secrete spring, therefore did it show it self in Christ. Therefore we have a ready and common well out of which we may draw. This is the meaning of the words, because God would not have life to be hidden with him, & as it were buried, he therefore poured it out into his son, that it might flow unto us. Hence we gather that this title is properly ascribed to Christ: inasmuch as he was manifested in the flesh.
26 For as the father. Hee sheweth by what meanes his voyce hath so great force, to wit, because he is the fountaine of life, and doth powre out the same by his voyce into men. For wee should not haue life from his mouth, vnlesse the cause and originall thereof were in his power. For God is not only said to haue life in himselfe, because he liueth alone through his owne and inward power: but because hauing in himselfe the fulnes of life, he quickeneth all thinges, And this truly doth properly appertaine vnto God, as it is Psal. 36. 9. VVith thee is the VVell of life. But because the maiestie of God as it is set far off frō vs, might be like to an hidden & secrete spring, therfore did it shewe it selfe in Christ. Therfore we haue a readie and common well out of which wee may draw. This is the meaning of the words, because God would not haue life to be hidden with him, & as it were buried, he therefore powred it out into his sonne, that it might flowe vnto vs. Hence wee gather that this title is properly ascribed to Christ: inasmuch as he was manifested in the flesh.
