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?

After he attributeth to him self eyes,1 casting out fire and flame. For nothing escapeth the knowledge & judgement of Christ our Judge, he beholdeth the reins and hearts. Moreover he lighteth some, and some he committeth to everlasting fire, therein to burn for ever. Now then if any do imagine with them selves, that they can hide heresies and malice in their hearts, they are deceived. For in the eyes of Christ, the darkness it self is light also. The same Lord also hath feet most purged and clean, he treadeth down all ungodliness: And where so ever he walketh with his shining feet of brass, he consumeth immediately all heresies and corrupt life. Therefore this prelate most pure, and most fit and apt to purge, finally best furnished to bolt out the secrets of hearts, showeth to the congregations these things that follow: he himself walketh and is conversant in the midst of the church, both King and Priest.
