expiation_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o though_o christ_n be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o natural_a lord_n and_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o god_n have_v in_o this_o high_o exalt_v

increase_n of_o their_o essential_a greatness_n and_o glory_n for_o neither_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o son_n can_v be_v great_a than_o they_o be_v but_o yet_o god_n be_v exalt_v when_o his_o

christ_n own_v himself_o for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n his_o only_a beget_v son_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n call_v god_n his_o father_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o distinguish_a manner_n that_o

for_o his_o son_n when_o he_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o bestow_v a_o kingdom_n on_o he_o a_o name_n which_o be_v above_o every_o name_n as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o 5._o that_o he_o be_v

to_o be_v so_o till_o god_n declare_v this_o by_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o by_o bestow_v a_o kingdom_n on_o he_o and_o then_o he_o visible_o appear_v in_o the_o glory_n and_o

32._o that_o he_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n which_o he_o evident_o speak_v of_o himself_o as_o man_n as_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n confess_v in_o st._n mark_v it_o be_v say_v

the_o son_n who_o see_v whatever_o his_o father_n do_v but_o of_o this_o more_o hereafter_o that_o he_o know_v not_o where_o lazarus_n be_v lay_v because_o he_o ask_v where_o have_v you_o lay_v he_o

to_o confirm_v that_o testimony_n he_o give_v of_o himself_o by_o miraculous_a power_n prove_v that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n i_o can_v tell_v 18._o that_o he_o be_v tempt_v by_o the_o devil_n prove_v
