christ_n and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o john_n be_v baptism_n must_v also_o signify_v to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n john_n indeed_o make_v proselyte_n to_o the_o messiah_n but_o he_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n and_o he_o who_o be_v baptize_v by_o he_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o whoever_o profess_v in_o his_o baptism_n to_o follow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n last_o he_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o very_o absurd_a that_o the_o power_n or_o inspiration_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o a_o person_n shall_v be_v join_v in_o the_o same_o form_n with_o the_o father_n and_o son_n who_o be_v person_n i_o answer_v i_o see_v no_o absurdity_n in_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o doctrine_n which_o not_o only_o come_v original_o from_o god_n the_o father_n and_o be_v reveal_v by_o his_o son_n but_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o power_n or_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o next_o and_o last_o place_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o our_o author_n consider_v be_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n gospel_n which_o say_v he_o pag._n 215._o give_v a_o glorious_a testimony_n to_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o plain_a demonstration_n of_o the_o incurable_a perverseness_n of_o heretic_n i_o will_v examine_v this_o high_a pretence_n and_o show_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o the_o absurdity_n of_o the_o author_n explication_n of_o this_o chapter_n 2._o the_o inconsistency_n of_o the_o trinitarian_n hypothesis_n with_o the_o context_n 3._o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o so_o much_o controvert_v place_n 1._o the_o historian_n say_v that_o the_o trinitarian_n exposition_n of_o this_o chapter_n be_v absurd_a and_o contradictious_a and_o that_o it_o be_v this_o in_o the_o beginning_n i._n e._n from_o all_o eternity_n but_o how_o say_v the_o historian_n can_v in_o the_o beginning_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n from_o all_o eternity_n be_v before_o the_o beginning_n or_o without_o beginning_n not_o in_o the_o beginning_n to_o this_o our_o author_n reply_v that_o no_o man_n expound_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o eternity_n but_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a in_o his_o assertion_n for_o mr._n calvin_n expound_v it_o so_o he_o add_v when_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n we_o say_v this_o prove_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o word_n for_o that_o which_o be_v when_o all_o thing_n begin_v which_o have_v a_o beginning_n be_v itself_o before_o the_o beginning_n and_o without_o beginning_n i_o answer_v have_v the_o evangelist_n design_v to_o teach_v we_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o word_n he_o will_v undoubted_o have_v do_v it_o by_o the_o same_o character_n that_o be_v use_v in_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o eternity_n of_o god_n now_o this_o expression_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v so_o far_o from_o denote_v eternity_n that_o it_o be_v never_o apply_v to_o god_n in_o that_o sense_n we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n gen._n 1._o 1._o heb._n 1._o 10._o a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o in_o the_o beginning_n can_v be_v apply_v to_o he_o that_o be_v god_n but_o only_o to_o creature_n and_o as_o plain_a a_o demonstration_n that_o god_n himself_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n for_o he_o who_o create_v all_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v not_o only_o before_o all_o thing_n but_o from_o eternity_n but_o we_o never_o read_v god_n be_v in_o the_o beginning_n in_o all_o the_o description_n which_o the_o scripture_n afford_v we_o of_o his_o eternity_n nay_o they_o rather_o declare_v it_o or_o describe_v it_o by_o before_o the_o beginning_n psal_n 90._o 2._o before_o the_o mountain_n be_v bring_v forth_o even_o from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a thou_o be_v god_n here_o eternity_n be_v describe_v by_o before_o the_o beginning_n this_o be_v the_o scripture-notion_n of_o eternity_n therefore_o if_o st._n john_n have_v intend_v to_o show_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n the_o word_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n nor_o will_v it_o avail_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v the_o word_n be_v so_o in_o the_o beginning_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o without_o he_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n make_v that_o be_v make_v for_o as_o the_o forego_n word_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n be_v no_o true_a description_n of_o eternity_n in_o scripture_n so_o neither_o be_v these_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o he_o etc._n etc._n the_o scripture-description_n of_o the_o creation_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n here_o make_v either_o of_o the_o heaven_n or_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v never_o omit_v in_o the_o description_n we_o have_v in_o scripture_n of_o the_o first_o and_o true_a creation_n a_o i_o show_v before_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o insist_v long_o on_o this_o phrase_n in_o this_o place_n the_o historian_n go_v on_o be_v the_o word_n i._n e._n be_v god_n the_o son_n but_o where_o in_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v the_o word_n call_v god_n the_o the_o son_n our_o author_n reply_v this_o word_n indeed_o be_v god_n the_o son_n but_o we_o do_v not_o paraphrase_n it_o so_o in_o this_o place_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v god_n the_o son_n but_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v that_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v call_v the_o word_n but_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o for_o if_o the_o word_n be_v indeed_o god_n the_o son_n one_o may_v paraphrase_n it_o here_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v god_n the_o son_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v that_o divine_a person_n call_v the_o word_n the_o one_o be_v as_o fit_v and_o as_o good_a sense_n as_o the_o other_o but_o it_o seem_v our_o author_n be_v ashamed_a to_o paraphrase_n the_o word_n by_o god_n the_o son_n this_o be_v a_o modesty_n in_o he_o which_o be_v but_o seldom_o find_v in_o his_o book_n histor_n the_o word_n be_v god_n i._n e._n the_o son_n be_v with_o the_o father_n answ_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o god_n in_o this_o clause_n be_v the_o father_n but_o be_v not_o the_o son_n also_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v not_o he_o too_o according_a to_o trinitarian_n god_n or_o a_o god_n if_o he_o be_v why_o do_v st._n john_n only_o say_v the_o son_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o how_o come_v the_o father_n to_o engross_v here_o the_o title_n of_o god_n to_o the_o exclusion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o avoid_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n our_o author_n reply_v by_o god_n the_o apostle_n here_o mean_v that_o original_a mind_n and_o wisdom_n that_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a be_v who_o all_o man_n call_v god_n without_o make_v a_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n but_o if_o god_n in_o this_o place_n do_v not_o signify_v the_o father_n only_o but_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n he_o shall_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o mean_v that_o original_a mind_n and_o wisdom_n but_o those_o three_o mind_n who_o all_o man_n call_v god_n for_o we_o be_v teach_v all_o over_o his_o book_n that_o god_n be_v three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o consequent_o three_o wisdom_n for_o a_o infinite_a mind_n can_v be_v without_o wisdom_n neither_o shall_v he_o say_v that_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a be_v who_o all_o man_n call_v god_n but_o those_o three_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a being_n for_o he_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n be_v three_o infinite_a and_o substantial_a being_n therefore_o he_o be_v three_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a being_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n to_o say_v in_o one_o place_n god_n be_v three_o mind_n and_o three_o being_n and_o in_o another_o that_o he_o be_v but_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o be_v furthermore_o when_o the_o evangelist_n say_v the_o word_n be_v with_o god_n if_o by_o god_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o father_n only_o but_o the_o three_o person_n who_o be_v that_o god_n this_o will_v make_v a_o very_a trifle_a sense_n for_o then_o the_o word_n be_v with_o god_n must_v signify_v they_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v with_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o consequent_o with_o himself_o which_o be_v not_o only_a trifle_n but_o ridiculous_a the_o apostle_n add_v and_o the_o word_n be_v god_n our_o author_n to_o serve_v his_o hypothesis_n put_v here_o another_o or_o a_o new_a sense_n on_o the_o word_n god_n for_o he_o
