to_o balaam_n we_o may_v answer_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o jehovah_n as_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o his_o word_n 21._o numb_a 23_o 21._o be_v jehovah_n his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o which_o

his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o whence_o it_o seem_v plain_a that_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o that_o the_o god_n who_o be_v more_o peculiar_o style_v jehovah_n among_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o

answer_n to_o our_o author_n i_o will_v venture_v to_o advance_v this_o probable_a account_n of_o it_o that_o though_o job_n as_o be_v now_o general_o believe_v live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

thereby_o to_o show_v the_o israelite_n and_o other_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o jehovah_n who_o be_v their_o god_n and_o in_o covenant_n with_o they_o lest_o the_o people_n who_o be_v very_o

chief_a argument_n our_o author_n insist_o upon_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v very_o little_a if_o at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n and_o see_v his_o 90._o pag._n 90._o lordship_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o

i_o do_v see_v what_o reason_n he_o have_v to_o call_v it_o a_o federal_a whimsy_n here_o i_o can_v help_v observe_v our_o 45._o pag._n 45._o author_n conclusion_n of_o this_o paragraph_n which_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o convince_a argument_n that_o all_o our_o author_n say_v be_v the_o result_n of_o malice_n and_o ill_a nature_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n and_o not_o the_o

against_o a_o foresee_a charge_n of_o heresy_n which_o certain_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v since_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v hitherto_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o look_v in_o the_o least_o that_o way_n or_o perhaps_o the_o singular_a providence_n of_o god_n may_v so_o over-rule_v the_o madness_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o make_v he_o speak_v that_o for_o the_o

just_a ground_n for_o such_o opprobrious_a speech_n then_o certain_o the_o author_n of_o they_o have_v the_o great_a sin_n now_o i_o will_v ready_o grant_v with_o our_o author_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o believe_v our_o saviour_n to_o be_v god_n but_o only_o that_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a man_n nor_o do_v i_o find_v that_o his_o lordship_n deny_v it_o all_o that_o i_o perceive_v his_o

not_o urge_v it_o as_o idolatry_n to_o worship_v he_o which_o certain_o they_o will_v have_v do_v have_v they_o think_v he_o will_v have_v be_v a_o mere_a man_n or_o a_o god_n only_o by_o office_n as_o the_o socinian_o will_v have_v he_o and_o not_o from_o all_o eternity_n coessential_a with_o the_o father_n now_o i_o leave_v any_o man_n to_o judge_v if_o this_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o just_a account_n and_o a_o fair_a interpretation_n of_o his_o lordship_n argument_n for_o i_o suppose_v no_o one_o can_v think_v that_o the_o bishop_n design_v by_o it_o to_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n

incarnation_n for_o this_o account_n will_v admit_v the_o personality_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v found_v first_o in_o the_o humane_a nature_n according_a to_o some_o of_o his_o lordship_n critic_n which_o he_o dare_v not_o contradict_v who_o place_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o sonship_n in_o the_o low_a nature_n this_o be_v strange_a when_o his_o lordship_n say_v a_o while_n after_o that_o divine_a person_n in_o who_o dwell_v the_o eternal_a 45._o pag._n 45._o word_n which_o make_v he_o as_o well_o a_o person_n before_o the_o incarnation_n as_o it_o do_v the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o by_o the_o eternal_a word_n be_v always_o understand_v the_o second_o person_n and_o since_o his_o lordship_n do_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v a_o divine_a person_n as_o also_o to_o be_v eternal_a i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n can_v imagine_v that_o his_o lordship_n do_v not_o teach_v any_o distinction_n in_o the_o godhead_n before_o the_o incarnation_n or_o that_o the_o personality_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o sonship_n be_v first_o place_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n since_o his_o call_v he_o the_o eternal_a word_n make_v he_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o father_n from_o all_o eternity_n as_o be_v second_o of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n and_o his_o style_v he_o a_o divine_a person_n suppose_v the_o personality_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v first_o found_v in_o the_o godhead_n for_o i_o shall_v have_v think_v have_v i_o not_o be_v prejudice_v by_o abundance_n of_o ill_a nature_n that_o christ_n can_v be_v call_v a_o divine_a person_n only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o flesh_n and_o not_o upon_o any_o account_n of_o his_o manhood_n for_o else_o there_o will_v be_v two_o person_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o the_o bishop_n can_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o divine_a person_n only_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o consequent_o so_o before_o he_o be_v incarnate_a because_o he_o be_v eternal_a in_o the_o bishop_n own_o expression_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v positive_o affirm_v that_o our_o author_n assertion_n that_o the_o bishop_n plain_a intention_n by_o these_o word_n be_v to_o place_n christ_n personality_n only_o in_o his_o manhood_n to_o be_v false_a and_o malicious_a yea_o but_o say_v our_o author_n this_o description_n of_o the_o bishop_n viz._n that_o by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n with_o christ_n humanity_n god_n and_o man_n true_o become_v one_o person_n will_v admit_v the_o

humanity_n constitute_v the_o father_n a_o incarnate_a person_n or_o otherwise_o by_o this_o state_n of_o his_o lordship_n doctrine_n the_o father_n son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v conceive_v as_o one_o incarnate_a person_n how_o our_o critic_n come_v to_o think_v of_o this_o remark_n i_o can_v apprehend_v for_o i_o never_o yet_o meet_v with_o any_o man_n that_o think_v the_o eternal_a word_n mean_v the_o whole_a trinity_n but_o that_o when_o the_o eternal_a word_n or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v mention_v it_o be_v always_o understand_v of_o the_o second_o

in_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o bishop_n do_v seem_v so_o plain_o to_o mean_v this_o by_o it_o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n endue_v with_o reason_n can_v force_v another_o interpretation_n of_o it_o especial_o when_o his_o lordship_n in_o the_o very_a same_o page_n call_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n ●●_o pag._n ●●_o three_o person_n by_o name_n and_o show_v how_o far_o they_o be_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o which_o doctrine_n i_o presume_v be_v impossible_a ever_o to_o admit_v the_o patripassian_a heresy_n of_o but_o one_o person_n in_o the_o
