His Blasohemy, in challenging, to themselues, I meane the sect of Ieluits, the name of Iesuits, that is to say, Sauiours from sinnes: which is the most proper name of the Lord Christ; according to that saying of the Angel: Thou shall call his name IESVS (in Syriack, Ieshua) for he shall saue his people from their sinnes.
And according to that of St. Peter: Neither is there Saluation in any other. For among men, there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, vvhereby wee must be saued.
Therefore, what horrible and detestable blasphe∣mous caytifs are these Iesuits, to appropriat this name, the name of Sauiours, vnto themselues! Our Lord Ie∣sus, is called Christ, passiuely, because he was annoin∣ted with the oyle of gladnesse aboue his fellowes. So then, in that oyntment, he had fellowes, or partakers.
The Oyle was first poured vpon the Sacrificers head: but afterward, it ranne downe to the skirts of his clothing. Therefore saith St. Iohn, Yee haue an oyntment from that holy One.
Then, as our Lord Iesus, our Head, because hee was anointed, was called Christ, that is to say, Anoynted: so his members the Saints, because they also are anoin∣ted with the same oyle, though not in the same degree; are called Christians, that is to say, Anoynted.
But our Lord Christ, was called Iesus, or Ieshua, ac∣tiuely, because he should saue his people from their sinnes. And onely he called Iesus, or Ieshua, because There is no Saluation in any other. For that among men, there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.
