¶ The fifth Sermon of the Prophecy of Jesus Christ.
¶ The fift Sermon of the Prophesie of Iesus Christ.
Isaiah. L.iij 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death though he had done no wickedness, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet would the Lord break him, and make him subject to infirmities, when he shall make his Soul an offering for sin, he shall see his Seed and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hands.
Isaiah. L.iij 9 And he made his graue with the wicked, and with the riche in his death though he had done no wickednesse, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet would the Lord breake him, and make him subiect to infirmities, when he shall make his Soule an offering for sinne, he shall see his Seede and prolong his dayes, and the wyll of the LORDE shall prosper in his handes.
The Prophet continueth here the doctrine before specified: to wit, that there was such enmity between God and us, as that the wrath of God could by no means be appeased, but by Jesus Christ his answering of the same, even to the uttermost. For, by how much the more the suffering of the son of god was, by so much the more may we gather, how grievous our sins are, and how wonderfully God abhorreth them: considering (as we have heretofore said, and as hereafter shall be more at large spoken) that there is no superfluous nor unprofitable thing in the death and passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. And therefore, for so much as he was terribly tormented, he hath on the one side witnessed unto us his infinite goodness and love, and we, on the other side are to look what it is that our iniquities have deserved before the majesty of our good God.
