Thus now we see, that we must assure our selves, that our Lord Jesus is risen again, & leaveth the way open unto us, that we might come unto him: & looketh not that we should seek him, but hath provided that we might be called by the preaching of the gospel, & that his message should sound in the mouths of those his heralds whom he had chosen. Since then it is so, let us understand, that the righteousness which we at that this day have for the attaining unto the heavenly Kingdom, we enjoy by the righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ, because he will not separate him self from us. And here we see why he calleth the Disciples his brethren. Indeed, this is an honourable name: and was reserved for all those whom he accounted as his household Servants: and this kind of speech no doubt he used,1 to show the brotherhood that he would, should between him and them. And so also is it common to us, as Saint John more plainly declareth.
Thus now we sée, that we must assure our selues, that our Lord Iesus is rysen againe, & leaueth the way open vnto vs, that wee might come vnto him: & looketh not that we should séeke him, but hath prouided that we might be called by the preching of ye gospel, & that his message should sound in the mouthes of those his heralts whom he had chosen. Since then it is so, let vs vnderstand, that the rightuousnes whiche wee at that this daye haue for the attaining vnto the heauenly Kingdome, wee enioy by the righteousnesse of our Lord Iesus Christ, because he will not seperat him selfe from vs. And héere we sée why he calleth the Disciples his brethren. Indéede, this is an honorable name: and was reserued for all those whom he accompted as his houshold Seruants: and this kinde of speche no doubt he vsed,1 to shew the brotherhood that hee would, should betwéene him and them. And so also is it common to vs, as Saint Iohn more plainly declareth.
