The seventh Sermon of the Prophecy of Christ.
The seuenth Sermon of the Prophesie of Christe.
Isaiah. liii. 12 Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he shall double the spoil with the strong, because he hath poured out his soul to death, and he was counted with the transgressors, & bare the sins of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
Isaiah. liii. 12 THerefore will I giue him a portion with the great, and hee shall double the spoyle with the strong, because he hath powred out his soule to death, and he was counted with the transgressors, & bare the sins of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
THE Prophet declareth here in sum, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath not only overcome death by death, But that he hath also a just title and interest to take away the substance of his enemies, and to make a spoil of them, even as a conqueror that hath won the field. In deed I must needs say this, that our Lord Jesus Christ enriched not himself with the goods of this world. But that which he did was to this end as I have said, to overcome death. We know that it was meet that Satan, who is said to be the Prince of this world, should be displaced of his kingdom: For if it had not been so, our estate had been most miserable. And besides, it was meet that sin should bear no more sway.
