And finally in the next verse after this againe Christ vseth * 1.1 a greater Equiuocation than any before, saying vnto them, Amen, Amen, antequàm Abraham fieret, ego sum. Amen, Amen, I say vnto you, that before Abraham was made, I am: which being an earnest speech; and as it were an oath, as else∣where we haue noted, the Iewes vnderstood it as it lyeth, that Christ was borne in the flesh before Abraham: and so it seemeth that he should haue meant according to his former speech, when he said that Abraham desired to see his day, and saw it, and reioyced thereat: Which was vnderstood of his incarnation or day in flesh, which Abraham in saith and spirit did see, and re∣ioyce. But yet here when he saith that he is before Abraham was made, he must needes meane of his Diuinitie, and in that he was God: which S. Aug. vpon this place doth excellently note to be by the difference of the two words, Abraham fieret, & Ego sum, the one belonging to the creature, saith he, the other to the Crea∣tor. So as more then our Equiuocation is vsed by our Sauiour in this one sentence.
