VERS. II.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

And was Transfigured.

WHEN Christ was Baptized, being now ready to enter upon his Evangelical Priesthood, he is sealed by a heavenly voice, for the High Priest, and is anoin∣ted with the Holy Spirit, as the High Priests were wont to be with holy oyl.

In his Transfiguration he is sealed for the High Priest: for mark, 1. How two of the greatest Prophets, Moses and Elias resort to him. 2. How to those words, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, (which also were heard from Heaven at his Bap∣tism) is added that Clause, Hear ye him; which compare with the words of Moses, con∣cerning a Prophet to be raised up by God, Deut. XVIII. 19. Whosoever shall not hearken to my words which I shall put into his mouth, &c. 3. How the Heavenly voice went out of the Cloud that overshadowed them, when at his Baptism no such Cloud appeared. Here that is worthy observing, which some Jews note, and reason dictates, namely, That the Cloud of Glory, the Conductor of Israel departed at the death of Moses; for while he lived, that Cloud was the peoples guide in the Wilderness; but when he was dead, the Ark of the Covenant led them. Therefore as that Cloud departed at the death of Moses, that Great Prophet; so such a Cloud was now present at the Sealing of the Greatest Pro∣phet. 4. Christ here shines with such a brightness, nay with a greater than Moses and Elias now glorified; and this both for the honour of his Person, and for the honour of his Doctrine; both which surpassed by infinite degrees the Persons and the Doctrines of both of them. When you recollect the face of Christ transfigured, shining with so great luster when he talked with Moses and Elias, acknowledg the Brightness of the Gospel a∣bove the cloudy obscurity of the Law and of the Prophets.
