But ye will say,1 the Prophet Isaiah saith it, whose words they were.2 I answer, Isaiah was the Pen-man, God the mouth; the head dictateth, the hand writeth; Christ the head dictates, and his servant writeth: So that holy men write as they were inspired by the holy Ghost,3 a better spirit than their own. Why do ye look on me, 4saith Isaiah? think not it is I that say it, I am but a man like your selves; but the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
