SECT. V. Of the first Manifestation of Christ.
4. For the first Manifestation of Jesus by his several witnesses; now it was time that the Sun of Righteousness should arise, and shine in the view of the world: and (because of unbelief which had blinded the world) that some especial witnesses should be chosen out,1 both to anoint our eyes, and to point to the light, saying, This is he of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth the Son of Joseph: to this purpose we read much of the manifestation of Jesus; God was manifest in the flesh. And Christ verily was fore-ordained before the foundations of the World, but was manifest in these last times for you. In that first Miracle that ever he wrought, this is written upon it,2 he manifested forth his Glory. And John the Divine, in his setting out of Jesus, he tells us, that the Life was manifested; and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal Life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.
