Wherein, is most accurately and divinely handled, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ; proving him to be God and man, coequall and coeternall with the Father: to the confutation of severall heresies both ancient and modern. By that eminently learned and reverend divine, John Arrowsmith, D.D. late Master of Trinity-Colledge in Cambridge, and Professor of Divinity there.

in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o throughout_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o godhead_n and_o divine_a nature_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v a_o sufficient_a
