to_o demonstrate_v to_o you_o that_o it_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o forasmuch_o as_o christ_n as_o you_o say_v be_v god_n only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o be_v beget_v of_o god_n or_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o consult_v the_o same_o scripture_n to_o see_v upon_o what_o ground_n the_o title_n of_o son_n of_o god_n bestow_v upon_o christ_n be_v found_v therein_o and_o if_o among_o those_o reason_n allege_v by_o it_o that_o of_o a_o eternal_a generation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o such_o a_o generation_n be_v the_o invention_n of_o your_o teacher_n let_v we_o pass_v by_o if_o you_o will_v that_o famous_a place_n wherein_o the_o angel_n ground_n the_o title_n of_o son_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o miraculous_a conception_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o to_o the_o virgin_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a shall_v overshadow_v thou_o therefore_o that_o holy_a thing_n that_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n again_o let_v we_o omit_v that_o remarkable_a passage_n wherein_o christ_n derive_v his_o title_n of_o son_n of_o god_n from_o his_o unction_n and_o heavenly_a commission_n say_v you_o that_o i_o blaspheme_v who_o the_o father_n have_v sanctify_v and_o send_v into_o the_o world_n because_o i_o say_v i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o impossible_a to_o find_v two_o cause_n or_o two_o reason_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n more_o clear_a and_o express_v than_o these_o two_o because_o he_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n and_o because_o the_o father_n have_v sanctify_v he_o and_o send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n however_o i_o will_v not_o insist_v upon_o they_o to_o stay_v the_o long_o upon_o those_o in_o which_o the_o word_n to_o beget_v be_v express_o set_v down_o i_o know_v but_o three_o text_n belong_v to_o this_o subject_n the_o first_o be_v in_o act_n 13.33_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v beget_v his_o son_n by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a god_n say_v the_o apostle_n have_v fulfil_v the_o promise_n unto_o we_o in_o that_o he_o have_v raise_v up_o jesus_n again_o as_o it_o be_v also_o write_v in_o the_o second_o psalm_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o the_o second_o heb._n 5.5_o where_o it_o be_v express_o set_v down_o that_o god_n have_v beget_v his_o son_n by_o make_v he_o his_o highpriest_n christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n glorify_v not_o himself_o to_o be_v make_v a_o highpriest_n but_o he_o that_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n to_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o the_o three_o be_v in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 1.5_o where_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n have_v beget_v his_o son_n by_o exalt_v he_o above_o the_o angel_n for_o unto_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v he_o at_o any_o time_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o in_o all_o these_o text_n there_o be_v no_o other_o generation_n mention_v but_o what_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o high_a glory_n which_o god_n have_v confer_v upon_o his_o messiah_n by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o make_v he_o lord_n and_o christ_n and_o this_o generation_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v eternal_a that_o it_o be_v express_o say_v it_o be_v perform_v to_o day_n viz._n the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n your_o teacher_n have_v be_v often_o challenge_v to_o produce_v one_o single_a text_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o eternal_a generation_n be_v express_o contain_v and_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o there_o be_v any_o you_o will_v do_v i_o a_o kindness_n to_o let_v i_o know_v it_o till_o this_o be_v do_v i_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v no_o other_o generation_n but_o what_o the_o scripture_n teach_v in_o those_o clear_a and_o express_v text_n which_o i_o have_v cite_v hereupon_o i_o will_v acquaint_v you_o with_o a_o observation_n for_o which_o i_o be_o behold_v to_o a_o learned_a man_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o father_n speak_v of_o christ_n divinity_n and_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o first_o setched_a his_o original_a from_o i_o know_v not_o what_o generation_n which_o be_v make_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v almost_o the_o only_a generation_n speak_v of_o by_o they_o and_o their_o platonic_a style_n always_o run_v that_o way_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o last_o show_v the_o source_n of_o it_o in_o his_o miraculous_a birth_n especial_o in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o exaltation_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o though_o christ_n never_o call_v himself_o god_n whilst_o he_o have_v but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o his_o future_a glory_n yet_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o scruple_n to_o honour_v he_o with_o that_o glorious_a title_n when_o they_o see_v he_o crown_v with_o his_o high_a glory_n &_o honour_n now_o that_o difference_n in_o treat_v of_o the_o same_o doctrine_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v between_o the_o sacred_a writer_n and_o your_o teacher_n be_v a_o material_a one_o and_o aught_o to_o convince_v you_o that_o they_o have_v not_o both_o the_o same_o principle_n as_o your_o church_n pretend_v this_o general_a observation_n concern_v the_o father_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v i_o refuse_v their_o testimony_n and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o no_o good_a interpreter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o unfaithful_a guardian_n of_o tradition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o incarnation_n or_o the_o union_n of_o two_o nature_n you_o must_v confess_v dear_a cousin_n that_o if_o we_o can_v from_o any_o place_n learn_v the_o distinction_n of_o two_o nature_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v undoubted_o from_o rom._n 1.3_o where_o he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n by_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a here_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o word_n yet_o this_o text_n be_v so_o far_o from_o prove_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n such_o as_o you_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o strong_a argument_n that_o can_v be_v bring_v against_o you_o to_o confute_v that_o foolish_a and_o absurd_a distinction_n and_o the_o clear_a commentary_n we_o have_v to_o explain_v the_o other_o passage_n which_o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o a_o man_n and_o a_o god_n to_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n you_o need_v only_o compare_v together_o the_o 23d_o 28_o and_o 29_o verse_n of_o the_o four_o to_o the_o galatian_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n but_o that_o isaac_n be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n or_o by_o a_o miraculous_a birth_n that_o be_v he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o divine_a promise_n this_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o now_o according_a to_o st._n paul_n style_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o his_o natural_a birth_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o woman_n and_o son_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n viz._n according_a to_o his_o supernatural_a birth_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o because_o he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a according_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o which_o sense_n he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o david_n as_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o god_n or_o the_o son_n of_o that_o great_a promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v to_o the_o patriarch_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n can_v therefore_o signify_v only_o by_o the_o divine_a power_n by_o his_o miraculous_a birth_n and_o resurrection_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o the_o distinction_n of_o two_o nature_n in_o the_o sense_n you_o take_v they_o be_v a_o mere_a fancy_n because_o the_o eternal_a generation_n be_v not_o at_o all_o mention_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o opposition_n between_o the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o humanity_n and_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n and_o
