John1:7
Verſe 7. The ſame came for a witneſſe.] This he performed with a witneſſe, verbis non ſolum diſertis, ſed et exertis. He witneſſed plainly, and plentifully, with a clear and punctuall pronunciation, profeſſion, indigitation, verſ. 26, 29, 32, 36.
That all men through him might beleeve.] Our Saviour expected, that men ſhould have come as far to hear his fore-runner and him, as the Queen of Sheba came to heare Solomon, Mat. 12.42. But the one thing neceſſary lyes (alaſſe) neglected. Men will run to Hell as faſt as they can: and if God cannot catch them (ſaith one) they care not, M. Steph. they will not come to Chriſt, that they might live, John 5.40.
