A short instruction for to arm all good Christian people against the pestiferous errors…A short instruction for to arme all good Christian people agaynst the pestiferous errours…

☞ Moreover Saint Paul doth express this thing more plainly, when he sayeth, that he was made of the seed of David touching the flesh, and was notwithstanding declared the Son of God by his power. Behold, Jesus Christ on the one part, is called the Son of God: and again he addeth that as touching his human nature he is of the stock of David. Is not that man very mad, which doth close his eyes, and stop his ears against all this, to persist & maintain the contrary, that Jesus Christ hath no part of the nature of man as touching the substance of his body? Likewise in an other place, the same Apostle, speaking of the dignity and nobleness of the Jews, among other things sayeth, that they be the successors and progeny of the fathers, of whom Christ is ascended as touching the flesh. I pass over many other places: as where he sayeth, that God was manifested in flesh: also, he that suffered in humility of the flesh. Likewise where saint John sayeth, that the word was made flesh: and besides all this, where he so often times doth attribute unto him self the title of the Son of man, and other like places: because it should be superfluous, after these two notable places which I have alleged.

☞ Moreouer Saynte Paule doth expresse thys thynge more playnelye, when he sayeth, that he was made of the seede of Dauid touchynge the fleshe, and was notwithstandynge declared the sonne of God by his power. Beholde, Iesus Christe on the one parte, is called the sonne of God: and againe he addeth yt as touching his humaine nature he is of the stocke of Dauid. Is not that mā very madde, whyche doth close his eyes, and stoppe hys eares agaynst all thys, to persiste & mayntayne the contrary, that Iesus Christ hathe no parte of the nature of man as touchyng the substaunce of hys body? Likewise in an other place, the same Apostle, speaking of the dignitie and noblenes of the Iewes, among other thinges sayeth, that they be the successours and progenye of the fathers, of whom Christe is assended as touchynge the fleshe. I passe ouer manye other places: as where he sayeth, that God was manifested in fleshe: also, he yt suffered in humilitie of the fleshe. Lykewyse where saynte Iohn sayeth, that the word was made flesh: and besides al thys, where he so often tymes doth attribute vnto hym selfe the title of the sonne of man, and other lyke places: bycause it shoulde be superfluouse, after these two notable places which I haue aledged.
