13. That Christ was to come in low
estate in His first advent.
In Isaiah: “Lord, who hath believed
our report, and to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed? We have
declared in His presence as children, as a root in a thirsty
ground. There is no form nor glory in Him; and we saw Him, and He
had no form nor beauty; but His form was without honour, and lacking
beyond other men. He was a man set in a plague, and knowing how
to bear weakness; because His face was turned away, He was dishonoured,
and was not accounted of. He bears our sins, and grieves for us;
and we thought that He was in grief, and in wounding, and in
affliction; but He was wounded for our transgressions, and He was
weakened4014

“Infirmatus;” Oxford transl. “bruised.” | for our
sins. The discipline of our peace was upon Him, and with His
bruise we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray; man has
gone out of his way. And God has delivered Him for our sins; and
He, because He was afflicted, opened not His mouth.”4015
Also in
the same: “I am not rebellious, nor do I contradict.
I gave my back to the stripes, and my cheeks to the palms of the
hands. Moreover, I did not turn away my face from the foulness of
spitting, and God was my helper.”4016
Also in the same: “He
shall not cry, nor will any one hear His voice in the streets. He
shall not break a bruised reed, and a smoking flax He shall not
extinguish; but He shall bring forth judgment in truth. He shall shine
forth, and shall not be shaken, until He set judgment in the earth, and
in His name shall the nations trust.”4017
Also in the twenty-first
Psalm: “But I am a worm, and no man; the accursed of man,
and the casting away of the people. All they who saw me despised
me, and spoke within their lips, and moved their head. He hoped
in the Lord, let Him deliver him; let Him save him, since he will have
Him.”4018
Also in
that place: “My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and
my tongue is glued to my jaws.”4019
Also in Zechariah:
“And the Lord showed me Jesus, that great priest, standing before
the face of the Angel of the Lord, and the devil was standing at his
right hand to oppose him. And Jesus was clothed in filthy
garments, and he stood before the face of the Angel Himself; and He
answered and said to them who were standing before His face, saying,
Take away his filthy garments from him. And he said to him,
Behold, I have taken away thine iniquities. And put upon him a
priestly garment,4020

“Poderem,” “a long priestly robe reaching to
the heels” (Migne’s Lexicon). The Oxford
translation gives the meaning “an alb,” which also is given
in Migne. | and set a
fair mitre4021
upon his
head.”4022
Also Paul
to the Philippians: “Who, being established in the form of
God, thought it not robbery that He was equal with God, but emptied
Himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of
men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming
obedient even unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore
also God exalted Him, and gave Him a name which is above every name,
that in the name4023

“In nomine;” Oxford translator, “at the
name,” following the Eng. ver. But see the Greek,
ἐν τῷ
ὀνόματι. | of Jesus
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, of things in earth, and of
infernal things, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord in the glory of God the Father.”4024
