VVith verie few, but the same most pithie, semelie, & apte wor¦des the Euāgelist hath declared vnto vs the diuine nature of the Lorde Iesus, & his power shewed forth, & set∣te abrode to the sight af al men, by his most wondreful worckes. For by this Godhead, & diuine nature of the Lorde Iesus, bothe al thinges were first made of nothinge, and now also al thinges ar preserued, & cōtinued in their state that they returne not to nothinge. By it al thinges liue, moue, & haue their bein∣ge. By it mā, wherein he excelleth o∣ther liuinge creatures, is furnished with the light of reason, & vndrestandinge which though thorough mānes faute, it be now greately blemished, & darckned yet the sparckes remaininge suffice to shew so much vnto vs of goddes sōne, as maie iustly cōdēne vs of wilful ignorāce.
