A62619	Tillotson, John, 1630-1694.	Sermons concerning the divinity and incarnation of our blessed Saviour preached in the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry by John, late Lord Archbishop of Canterbury.	1695		.xml	application/xml	50796	1133	50	, he made no ostentation of his Divinity : For this I take to be the true meaning of that Phrase , both because it is so used by Plutarch , and because it makes the sense much more easie and current , thus , who being in the form of God , did not assume an equality with God , that is , he did not appear in the Glory of his Divinity , which was hid under a Veil of human flesh and infirmity ; But he emptied himself , and took upon him the form of a servant , and was made in the likeness of men , and being found in fashion as a man , or in the habit of a man , he became obedient to the death , &c. So that if his being made in the likeness and fashion of a man does signify that he was really Man by his Incarnation , then surely his being in the form of God when he took upon him the fashion and likeness of man and the form of a Servant or Slave , must in all reason signify that he was really God before he became Man : The Word was made flesh : What a step is here made in order to the reconciling of Men to God ? From Heaven to Earth ; from the top of Glory and Majesty to the lowest gulf of meanness and misery : The Evangelist seems here to use the word flesh , which signifies the meanest and vilest part of Humanity , to express to us how low the Son of God was contented to stoop for the Redemption of Man.	cache/A62619.xml	txt/A62619.txt
