Peradventure they will say, that that which was given in the latter time, the holy Scriptures do set forth to the end we should believe it: but that which ye require to have ben done in the old time is no where read.1 Yea but if we diligently mark, the Scriptures teach, that also. For the son of god is named by the Evangelist the word or [Greek or Hebrew], which we must believe was not by him done rashly, but because it might be understand that by him god spake, when the scriptures testify that he spake. Wherefore as often as we read, that the word of the Lord came unto this man or to that man, I judge that the same is so often to be attributed unto the son of god Christ our Lord, namely that god by him spake unto the fathers and Prophets. Which least I should seem to speak in vain, I will for this sentence bring forth two testimonies.2 The first is read in the first chap: of John: No man hath seen god at any time, & straight way by the figure Occupatio is added. The son which is in the bosom of the father he hath revealed him. For a man might ask, If no man have seen god at any time, who appeared then to the fathers when things divine were showed unto them? who talked with them, when sundry forms and images appeared unto them in the name of god,3 and wrought with them? Straight way it is answered: The son which is in the bosom of the father he hath revealed him: he was to man, the most true interpreter of the father. An other place, is in the gospel the 12. chap: where it is thus word for word written. Therefore they could not believe, because again said Isaiah: He hath blinded their eyes, & hardened their hart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their hart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. Undoubtedly these two pronouns His, and of Him, do without controversy signify Christ, for a little before the Evangelist had said, Though he, namely Christ, had done so many signs before them, yet believed they not in him, that the saying of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled that he said, &c. And to this sentence, which in very deed is natural, do agree Chrysostom, Jerome, Cirillus, & Augustine. Farthermore the words of Hosea the Prophet which he hath in the 12.4
