Text. Luke 11.28. But hee said, yea rather blessed are they which bear the Word of God, and keep it.
IN the obscure humanity of Jesus Christ, there did break forth such a glorious lustre of his Divinity, that though, as to his person, he was deemed despicable, and contemptible, yet the words that he spake, and the works that he did, declared ⟨p. 139⟩him to be no less then the Son of God.
