Doct. 6. This majesty was expressed in those words of God, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.
Doct. 6. This majestie was expressed in those words of God, This is my beloved Sonne in whom I am well pleased.
In these words is contained both the power and coming of Christ, whereof the Apostles witnessed, and wherein is contained the sum of the Gospel, as we said before.

By the title of Sonne is chiefly signified the kingdome of Christ, by the title of beloved in whom I am well pleased, is signified the Priesthood
