A75620	Theanthrōpos; or, God-man: being an exposition upon the first eighteen verses of the first chapter of the Gospel according to St John. 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.

remotionis_fw-la and_o via_fw-la eminentiae_fw-la first_o by_o way_n of_o causality_n and_o so_o reason_n come_v to_o gather_v of_o god_n by_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o it_o see_v lovely_a and_o look_v at_o all_o these_o as_o effect_n of_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n thus_o reason_n collect_v of_o god_n but_o how_o far_o be_v this_o from_o see_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n reason_n discover_v a_o god_n but_o not_o what_o god_n be_v in_o his_o be_v only_o that_o he_o be_v for_o no_o effect_n can_v show_v the_o nature_n of_o its_o cause_n full_o but_o either_o such_o as_o manife_v the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o cause_n or_o else_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o the_o cause_n as_o burn_v that_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o fire_n because_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o natural_a agent_n burn_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o its_o power_n therefore_o burn_v show_v what_o nature_n the_o fire_n be_v of_o as_o carrying_z the_o nature_n of_o the_o force_n in_o it_o as_o a_o child_n show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n because_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o father_n but_o the_o creature_n can_v show_v god_n because_o they_o be_v of_o effect_n different_a from_o he_o these_o be_v part_n of_o the_o way_n but_o how_o little_a proportion_n be_v readd_a of_o he_o the_o thunder_n of_o his_o power_n who_o can_v understand_v neither_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o the_o same_o rank_n and_o kind_a with_o god_n as_o the_o child_n be_v with_o the_o father_n they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o finite_a god_n be_v infinite_a so_o that_o all_o that_o reason_n can_v do_v this_o way_n be_v to_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o not_o what_o he_o be_v second_o there_o be_v the_o way_n of_o remotion_n by_o look_v over_o remotion_n 2._o by_o way_n of_o remotion_n all_o the_o creature_n and_o by_o set_v aside_o whatsoever_o savour_v of_o imperfection_n in_o they_o and_o ascribe_v the_o remainder_n to_o god_n thus_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v immortal_a impassable_a impeccable_a because_o we_o say_v that_o to_o die_v to_o suffer_v and_o to_o sin_n be_v the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o creature_n god_n can_v sin_v god_n can_v die_v god_n can_v lie_v god_n can_v suffer_v but_o this_o still_o come_v short_a of_o see_v god_n in_o his_o essence_n for_o by_o this_o we_o see_v what_o god_n be_v not_o not_o what_o he_o be_v by_o this_o way_n of_o remotion_n 3._o the_o three_o way_n which_o be_v a_o way_n of_o eminency_n reason_n eminency_n 3._o by_o way_n of_o eminency_n go_v over_o the_o creature_n once_o again_o and_o look_n whatsoever_o be_v good_a in_o they_o and_o savour_v of_o perfection_n in_o they_o and_o ascribe_v that_o to_o god_n as_o the_o author_n of_o those_o perfection_n so_o when_o it_o see_v in_o man_n wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o goodness_n reason_n can_v ascribe_v to_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o a_o more_o eminent_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o this_o be_v the_o near_a and_o the_o far_a reason_n can_v go_v and_o yet_o in_o all_o these_o it_o come_v short_a of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n because_o in_o this_o way_n it_o find_v out_o what_o he_o be_v rather_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o quality_n speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n than_o what_o he_o be_v in_o his_o essence_n thus_o we_o can_v see_v god_n in_o his_o essence_n no_o not_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n there_o be_v only_o one_o more_o that_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n which_o essence_n ●_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n can_v apprehend_v god_n in_o his_o
