He was in the world, and the world was made by him: and the world knew him not.) We, as touching the time hereof, say, 1it was from the beginning of the world unto his incarnation: all which time the Son of God hath in the world, which was created by him, showed God unto men, but is not known of men. They construe it of the time of his preaching, when he was not heard, but despised and persecuted. Ans. 1. S. John teacheth the plain contrary: He was (saith he) the life and light of all men: and again, He lighteth every man that cometh into the world: Therefore before his preaching and his nativity of the Virgin. 2. John saith, That he was in the whole world meaning thereby all mankind: because he opposeth to this world, his own nation and country, to which he came. 3. He saith, That Christ was not known of that world, which before was made of him. Now the new world are the elect regenerated, who, after they are created, that is, regenerated of him, know him. 4. After that, being in the world, he was not known of it; then lastly, He came unto his own, that is, unto the Jews, being born of them, and manifesting himself unto them in the flesh, which he took. But he was no less despised of these. If then he was first despised of the world, and afterwards of his own (for this the order of the prophecy requireth) he was despised before his preaching and incarnation, because in his flesh he manifested himself, to none before the Jews. Other places also show, that he existed before his incarnation. I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him: 2And took my solace in the compass of his earth, and my delight is with the children of men. 3He was quickened in the spirit, by the which he also went and preached unto the spirits, which were, in times passed, disobedient, that now are in prison.
