Obiettio Ffareticorum.

perfeftiffimo, qui alicubi apertf ait:

Solntio obiettionis.
Imperite admodum atqueinepte,
3 qui ita fentiunt, eorum qua: a Serua-
tore noftro Chrifto di£lafunt,interpre-
tanturi neque enim vt propriam fuam
naturam accufet, h ie dicit: nequetan-
quam magnum & praeclarum aliquid
ftatuit loanne maiorem efle ; qui Dei
ac Parris dignitate gloriatur : & natu-
raliter omnia qu* Patris func, in fe ha-
bet :atque ob id prodamans: [ Omnia
qu* habet Pater meafunt.] Perfcftus
autem eft Pater . Nullius itaque indi-
: gens, perfcflufque eft Filius ex ipfo ge-
nitus. Quiveroitafe naturaliterhabec,

ipfo eft.] Caeterum fi id quod adfertur
de Ghrifto minus , quantitacem tem-
poris fignifieat, eadem ratione etiam
Ioanncm Baptiftam hate comprehen-
det. Significat autem (imiliter tern-
pus, illud, Non furrexit maior. Atqui
hoc verum non eft,quumipfafacra Seri-
ptura repugnet, & Adamum generis
noftri authorem nongentos quinqua-
ginta annos vixifle teftetur , aliofquc
recenfeat qui longitudine vita: proxime
ad Adamum accefferunt, & ex mulie-
ribus nati, vt Chriftus loquitur , fue-
ranc, quum prxeurfor Chrifti Baptifta
iuuenis admodum e viuis excefTerit.
Ha:C igiturvox, maior , non tempus
fignifieat, fed potius quod virtutis fa-
ftigium fit confecutus, Sc ad ipfam iu-
fticiae qua: isi homines cadit metam per-
uenerit, eadem plane ratione de Ser-
uatore noftro Chrifto , minor maiori
oppofitus, non tciftpus fignifieat: ridi-
culus enim fit qui id» quod cemporis
quantitacem habet, virtutis celfitndi-
ne maius exiftimet. Quomodo enim
eiufmodi inter fe comparari poflint ?
At vero potius neceflaria ratione mi-
norem fanAitatem fignifieat, vt hoc
paAo Chriftus vicac fanAimonia loanne
inferior iudioetur. Quod quum per fe
fuam blafphemiam oftendac , merito
execramur.
Obiettio Aduerfariorum.
Simplicem, aiunt, minimeque curio-
fam eorum qua: a Chrifto diAafunc in-
terpretationem fequentes ; vrbane ilium
dixifte crcdimus, quod minor ni-
mirum quantitate temporis ab ortu fc-
cundum carnem , maior futurus fit in
regno c.riorum , etiam eo qui huma-
na: virtutis perfeAionem eft confecutus.
Minor itaque perfonam Domini
nobis fignifieat. Illud vero non furre-
xifle maiorem inter natos mulierum ,
fignifieat fanAum Baptiftam perfeAionem
pietatis qua: in hominem cadere
poifit, confecutum fuifle. Cxterüm
hunc quantumuis magnum Chriftus
exccdet. Quid hac in re eft abfurdi ?
Solutio obiettionis.
An nihil in his abfurdi fit, non fim-
pliciter dicere, fed inquirere oportet:
magna enim diligentia diuina feripta
perueftigandafunt, neque omnino fim-
plex ac rudis fentencia colligenda eft.
Maximum enim damnuid nobis inferre
