A harmony upon the the three Evangelists, Matthew, Mark and Luke with the commentary…A harmonie vpon the the three Euangelists, Matthew, Mark and Luke with the commentarie…

And my judgement is true. He concludeth that his words and deeds are not to be reprehended, because he suffereth not himself to do any thing but that which his father commandeth him. For that ought to be sure and certain without all controversy, that all that is right what soever doth spring and flow from God. This modesty ought to be the first maxima of godliness amongest us, so reverently to think of the works and word of God, that the name of God only ought to be sufficient to prove his justice and righteousness: but there be but a few found who can be persuaded that God is just, unless they be compelled. I grant that God doth show unto us his righteousness by experience: but to restrain the same unto the sense of our flesh, so that we can think no otherwise of the same, then our wit doth tell us, is too licentious impiety

And my iudgement is true. He concludeth that his woordes and deedes are not to be reprehended, because he suffereth not himselfe to doe any thing but that which his father commaundeth him. For that ought to be sure and certaine without all controuersie, that all that is right what soeuer doth spring and flow from God. This modestie ought to be the first maxima of godlinesse amongest vs, so reuerently to thinke of the workes and worde of God, that the name of God only ought to be sufficient to proue his iustice and righteousnesse: but there bee but a fewe founde who can be persuaded that God is iust, vnlesse they be compelled. I graunt that God doth shewe vnto vs his righteousnesse by experience: but to restraine the same vnto the sense of our flesh, so that we can think no otherwise of the same, then our wit doth tel vs, is too licentious impietie

Let this then be a certain and undoubted consequent, that that is right and true, whatsoever is of God, and that it cannot be but that god must be true in all his words, just and righteous in all his works, we are also taught that this is the only way to do well, to take nothing in hand unless God be our guide and helper. And if the whole world do rise against us afterward, let this invincible defence suffice us, that he erreth not that followeth God. Because I seek not mine own will. Christ doth not in this place set his own will against his fathers will, as being contrary things: but doth only refute their vain surmise who thought, that he was rather enforced with humane boldness, than governed with the authority of God. Therefore he denieth that he hath any desire of his own, and such a desire as is separated from the commandment of his father.
