nature_n and_o quality_n of_o the_o action_n that_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o person_n who_o bear_v the_o names_n jehovah_n and_o god_n evince_n that_o the_o person_n speak_v of_o be_v jehovah_n and_o

appear_v to_o moses_n in_o the_o bush_n because_o god_n appear_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o angel_n be_v wont_a to_o appear_v but_o we_o can_v grant_v that_o if_o god_n appear_v in_o suchmanner_n as_o

and_o offer_v no_o manner_n of_o proof_n of_o so_o absurd_a and_o in_o very_a deed_n impossible_a a_o supposition_n and_o we_o give_v this_o incontestable_a reason_n why_o the_o person_n who_o appear_v in_o the_o bush_n to_o moses_n and_o be_v call_v sometime_o angel_n sometime_o god_n be_v only_o a_o angel_n who_o be_v call_v god_n on_o the_o account_n that_o he_o represent_v god_n because_o if_o he_o be_v god_n and_o therefore_o speak_v these_o word_n i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o father_n in_o his_o own_o name_n not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o another_o or_o as_o represent_v another_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v call_v god_n only_o and_o not_o angel_n which_o be_v to_o say_v messenger_n nor_o do_v i_o know_v why_o dr._n bull_n pretend_v here_o god_n be_v call_v a_o angel_n in_o this_o place_n because_o he_o appear_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o angel_n be_v wont_a to_o appear_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v say_v so_o at_o least_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o text_n or_o context_n to_o countenance_v his_o so_o say_v but_o our_o argument_n be_v extreme_o probable_a while_o we_o say_v if_o it_o be_v indeed_o not_o a_o angel_n but_o god_n himself_o that_o speak_v these_o word_n i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o father_n he_o can_v be_v only_o call_v god_n and_o he_o be_v not_o at_o all_o a_o angel_n that_o be_v a_o messenger_n brief_o it_o be_v say_v i_o a_o chimaera_n found_v on_o nothing_o what_o dr._n bull_n here_o say_v that_o the_o true_a god_n be_v call_v a_o angel_n in_o this_o context_n because_o he_o appear_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o angel_n be_v wont_a to_o appear_v for_o the_o manner_n of_o appear_v here_o be_v whole_o unusual_a there_o never_o be_v any_o such_o appearance_n whether_o by_o god_n or_o angel_n either_o before_o or_o since_o but_o we_o argue_v solid_o and_o conclude_o when_o we_o allege_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o angel_n that_o speak_v here_o in_o the_o name_n and_o person_n of_o god_n but_o god_n himself_o and_o in_o his_o own_o name_n it_o be_v against_o all_o propriety_n and_o grammar_n that_o he_o be_v call_v both_o by_o moses_n and_o st._n stephen_n the_o angel_n or_o messenger_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o dr._n bull_n have_v a_o 2_o d_o evasion_n several_a father_n say_v a_o angel_n indeed_o appear_v in_o the_o bush_n but_o god_n be_v in_o the_o angel_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o angel_n that_o speak_v but_o god_n in_o the_o angel_n this_o be_v a_o whimsy_n though_o he_o shall_v quote_v a_o hundred_o father_n for_o it_o for_o if_o god_n himself_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n
