A63906	A discourse concerning the Messias, in three chapters the first concerning the preparatories to his appearance in the types and prophesies of the Old Testament : the second demonstrating that it was typically and prophetically necessary that he should be born of a virgin : the third, that he is God as well as man : to which is prefixed a large preface ... : and an appendix is subjoyned concerning the divine extension ... / by John Turner ...

well_o as_o melchisedek_n be_v make_v like_o to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o be_v god_n and_o man_n unite_v together_o into_o one_o common_a person_n as_o melchisedek_n be_v and_o take_v not_o only_o humane_a nature_n which_o he_o do_v before_o but_o human_a flesh_n upon_o he_o as_o melchisedek_n appear_v to_o abraham_n to_o have_v do_v though_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o than_o only_a the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o the_o eternal_a word_n unite_v by_o divine_a power_n to_o a_o vehicle_n of_o fit_o modify_v air_n or_o other_o subtle_a matter_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n carry_v the_o external_a shape_n and_o appearance_n of_o a_o human_a body_n and_o that_o melchisedek_n who_o be_v the_o same_o with_o christ_n be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o man_n as_o well_o as_o god_n that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a and_o vital_a union_n of_o two_o distinct_a nature_n the_o divine_a and_o the_o humane_a in_o his_o person_n be_v so_o unquestionable_o evident_a from_o the_o same_o place_n that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o extremity_n of_o impudence_n and_o impiety_n in_o conjunction_n together_o to_o call_v in_o question_n the_o authority_n of_o this_o writer_n who_o have_v be_v allow_v for_o canonical_a and_o receive_v as_o such_o in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o church_n so_o it_o be_v absurd_a and_o foolish_a to_o make_v the_o least_o doubt_n or_o scruple_n of_o his_o meaning_n if_o his_o authority_n be_v once_o receive_v that_o he_o be_v god_n be_v plain_a and_o will_v for_o ever_o continue_v to_o be_v so_o to_o the_o eternal_a confusion_n of_o all_o the_o arian_n and_o socinian_n cavil_v till_o they_o can_v show_v we_o a_o creature_n to_o who_o this_o character_n may_v just_o be_v apply_v without_o father_n without_o mother_n without_o descent_n have_v neither_o begin_n of_o day_n nor_o end_n of_o life_n and_o as_o this_o character_n proclaim_v he_o god_n so_o his_o be_v a_o priest_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n confess_v he_o to_o be_v a_o man_n otherwise_o god_n will_v be_v a_o priest_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v absurd_a but_o as_o without_o the_o godhead_n unite_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n christ_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n can_v not_o have_v make_v a_o adequate_a expiation_n to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o value_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o sacrifice_n by_o he_o offer_v which_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n be_v enhance_v to_o a_o infinite_a and_o estimable_a price_n by_o the_o infinite_a perfection_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n who_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n so_o that_o he_o be_v man_n as_o well_o as_o god_n be_v express_o testify_v by_o the_o sacred_a penman_n himself_o now_o consider_v say_v he_o how_o this_o great_a man_n etc._n etc._n and_o without_o his_o be_v man_n as_o well_o as_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v either_o priest_n or_o sacrifice_n at_o all_o so_o that_o these_o thing_n i_o think_v be_v so_o plain_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o plainness_n and_o perspicuity_n themselves_o to_o be_v more_o so_o plain_a that_o i_o need_v stay_v no_o long_o upon_o this_o first_o particular_a and_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v in_o my_o mind_n be_v that_o miracle_n of_o joshua_n which_o we_o find_v record_v josh_n 10._o 12._o where_o joshua_n speak_v thus_o to_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n sun_n stand_v thou_o still_o in_o gibeon_n and_o thou_o moon_n in_o the_o valley_n of_o ajalon_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v v._o 13_o 14._o and_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o and_o the_o moon_n stay_v until_o the_o people_n have_v avenge_v themselves_o upon_o their_o enemy_n be_v not_o this_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o jasher_n so_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaven_n and_o haste_v not_o to_o go_v down_o about_o a_o whole_a day_n and_o there_o be_v no_o day_n like_o that_o before_o or_o after_o it_o that_o the_o lord_n hearken_v unto_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n fight_v for_o israel_n now_o joshua_n in_o several_a respect_n in_o his_o name_n and_o in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o introductor_n of_o the_o israelite_n into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o be_v typical_a of_o the_o eternal_a rest_n

who_o have_v nature_n at_o his_o beck_n as_o be_v the_o god_n of_o it_o and_o at_o the_o instant_n of_o who_o passion_n as_o if_o nature_n herself_o have_v be_v expire_a with_o he_o the_o sun_n be_v darken_v and_o the_o day_n be_v turn_v into_o night_n and_o nature_n herself_o put_v on_o mourn_v to_o attend_v the_o funeral_n solemnity_n of_o her_o lord_n and_o maker_n as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o have_v happen_v at_o the_o death_n of_o caesar_n which_o be_v take_v and_o represent_v either_o by_o the_o superstition_n or_o flattery_n of_o the_o roman_n for_o a_o certain_a argument_n of_o his_o apotheosis_n ille_fw-la etiam_fw-la extincta_fw-la miseratus_fw-la caesar_fw-la romam_fw-la tunc_fw-la caput_fw-la obscura_fw-la nitidum_fw-la ferrugine_fw-la texit_fw-la impiaque_fw-la aeternam_fw-la

have_v be_v presignify_v by_o this_o miracle_n of_o joshua_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o prove_v it_o only_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v consider_v fair_o between_o man_n and_o man_n whether_o the_o allusion_n be_v not_o fair_o draw_v and_o whether_o in_o concurrence_n with_o other_o argument_n which_o prove_v more_o direct_o and_o with_o great_a force_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o corroberate_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n though_o the_o passage_n that_o have_v be_v cite_v concern_v melchisedec_n alone_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o

if_o we_o will_v submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n himself_o that_o there_o be_v indeed_o more_o divine_a person_n then_o one_o it_o remain_v now_o only_o that_o i_o inquire_v very_o brief_o how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o plurality_n of_o person_n distinct_a from_o one_o another_o to_o be_v consistent_a with_o a_o numerical_a identity_n of_o divine_a substance_n which_o the_o voluminous_a creator_n of_o the_o intellectual_a system_n deny_v as_o a_o impossible_a and_o contradictious_a notion_n where_o speak_v of_o the_o word_n homoousios_fw-la and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v never_o use_v otherwise_o by_o greek_a writer_n then_o to_o signify_v the_o agreement_n of_o thing_n numerical_o differ_v from_o one_o another_o in_o some_o common_a nature_n or_o universal_a essence_n or_o their_o have_v a_o generical_a unity_n or_o identity_n he_o add_v nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o the_o greek_a tongue_n shall_v have_v any_o name_n for_o that_o which_o neither_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o nature_n nor_o fall_v under_o human_a conception_n viz._n several_a thing_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o singular_a essence_n and_o here_o though_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o distinguish_v so_o nice_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v betwixt_o thing_n and_o person_n yet_o i_o will_v grant_v he_o thus_o much_o that_o several_a thing_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v several_a be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n what_o they_o be_v numerical_o by_o themselves_o and_o be_v numerical_o dictinct_a from_o one_o another_o but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o several_a person_n may_v all_o have_v the_o same_o numerical_a divine_a substance_n though_o to_o make_v a_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v requisite_a a_o accession_n of_o some_o individuate_a circumstance_n or_o property_n which_o shall_v be_v superad_v to_o the_o common_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a error_n of_o which_o the_o doctor_n be_v guilty_a if_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o insolence_n of_o his_o humour_n to_o endure_v to_o be_v tell_v of_o his_o fault_n because_o several_a thing_n can_v be_v the_o same_o which_o be_v no_o such_o very_a deep_a and_o profound_a speculation_n for_o how_o can_v they_o be_v several_a and_o the_o same_o at_o
