1And the author of the Epistle is the Lord Christ him self, the high king & Bishop, which useth the Apostle his pen, or blessed s. John for his Scribe or Secretary, by whom he will have those things published through out the whole world. And he getteth the epistle authority, whilst repeating certain members ⟨p. 87⟩of the former image & description, he showeth him self in such sort to be seen of the church, to be viewed in faith, that they help the matter wonderfully. He seeth here heresies & the secrets of hearts, and treadeth under his most pure and clean feet, what so ever advanceth it self against Gods glory & verity.

He calleth him self therefore the Son of God,1 whom before we heard to be the Son of man. He is therefore and remaineth both, even in glory, aswell the Son of God as man. In the divine nature of the same substance with the father, in the humane nature communicating with us in all things, except sin, the other nature is not swallowed up in glory but two distinct & several natures without any permixtiō, abide in one person undivided: which in deed be one Christ, very God & very man, to be worshipped world without end. Hereof we have testimonies in the 1. of Luke, in the 1. of John, & the 1. chapt. to the Romans. And which of the heretics or persecutors will make war with the living Son of God?
