before_o his_o incarnation_n he_o appear_v in_o the_o heaven_n invest_v with_o all_o the_o glory_n and_o majesty_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o god_n as_o create_v the_o world_n uphold_v and_o govern_v it_o receive_v worship_n and_o adoration_n from_o angel_n and_o the_o like_a i_o may_v confirm_v this_o by_o several_a other_o text_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o mention_v two_o the_o first_o be_v heb._n i_o 3._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o god_n glory_n the_o express_a image_n of_o his_o person_n and_o uphold_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n the_o other_o be_v john_n 17._o 5._o where_o jesus_n christ_n make_v mention_n of_o a_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v with_o the_o father_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n now_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o hold_v all_o this_o of_o right_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o not_o otherwise_o the_o apostle_n add_v that_o he_o think_v it_o not_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o reckon_v it_o usurpation_n arrogancy_n or_o presumption_n to_o hold_v a_o equality_n with_o god_n and_o consequent_o he_o be_v true_o god_n for_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o by_o nature_n god_n if_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a creature_n though_o never_o so_o excellent_a it_o will_v be_v great_a robbery_n and_o the_o high_a presumption_n and_o usurpation_n for_o he_o to_o entertain_v the_o least_o thought_n of_o a_o equality_n with_o god_n and_o it_o will_v be_v no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n for_o st._n paul_n or_o any_o other_o to_o talk_v so_o of_o he_o but_o see_v not_o only_o here_o but_o every_o where_o throughout_o the_o scripture_n we_o find_v such_o high_a speech_n of_o christ_n which_o exalt_v he_o above_o all_o creature_n even_o to_o a_o equality_n with_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o he_o be_v god_n in_o the_o strict_a propriety_n of_o speech_n for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scope_n and_o tenor_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o magnify_v man_n or_o angel_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n above_o what_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n whatever_o excellency_n god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o the_o scripture_n teach_v to_o set_v all_o creature_n even_o the_o high_a at_o a_o infinite_a distance_n from_o god_n it_o represent_v as_o idolatry_n the_o exalt_v creature_n to_o a_o partnership_n of_o the_o divinity_n the_o confer_v on_o they_o the_o name_n title_n attribute_n and_o worship_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n it_o show_v that_o god_n will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n unto_o another_o and_o be_v jealous_a of_o other_o do_v it_o that_o he_o can_v endure_v the_o appearance_n of_o it_o therefore_o the_o doctrine_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v thwart_v and_o contradict_v by_o those_o expression_n we_o find_v concern_v jesus_n christ_n if_o they_o be_v not_o found_v upon_o his_o nature_n that_o be_v if_o he_o be_v not_o god_n consider_v i_o pray_v you_o that_o all_o the_o revelation_n which_o god_n have_v make_v be_v design_v to_o reclaim_v the_o world_n from_o idolatry_n one_o great_a instance_n of_o which_o be_v the_o deify_n of_o men._n if_o therefore_o jesus_n be_v not_o god_n if_o he_o be_v only_a man_n as_o the_o socinian_o hold_v then_o there_o be_v ground_n to_o impeach_v this_o last_o and_o great_a revelation_n as_o destroy_v the_o design_n of_o the_o former_a at_o least_o of_o not_o be_v so_o wise_o manage_v as_o to_o serve_v the_o common_a end_n of_o all_o for_o in_o the_o other_o dispensation_n the_o man_n who_o god_n use_v as_o his_o instrument_n be_v careful_o represent_v to_o the_o people_n to_o be_v man_n of_o like_a passion_n and_o infirmity_n with_o themselves_o nay_o their_o sin_n and_o fail_n be_v put_v upon_o record_n that_o none_o may_v be_v ensnare_v to_o conceit_v they_o go_n but_o as_o to_o jesus_n there_o be_v such_o representation_n of_o he_o such_o speech_n concern_v he_o as_o may_v persuade_v and_o incline_v both_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a to_o think_v he_o god_n and_o every_o scruple_n remove_v which_o may_v obstruct_v such_o a_o belief_n either_o therefore_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v receive_v he_o as_o god_n and_o consequent_o he_o be_v such_o or_o it_o do_v not_o sufficient_o prevent_v the_o fall_n into_o this_o error_n if_o it_o be_v one_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_n lay_v a_o snare_n for_o it_o and_o tempt_v to_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o and_o so_o do_v not_o suit_n with_o its_o own_o design_n it_o be_v not_o adapt_v to_o its_o own_o end_n for_o it_o ensnare_v to_o the_o commit_n of_o idolatry_n in_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n which_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o any_o who_o call_v this_o truth_n in_o question_n what_o will_v satisfy_v they_o suppose_v jesus_n be_v god_n what_o evidence_n will_v they_o have_v of_o it_o what_o proof_n or_o demonstration_n can_v reason_n ask_v more_o than_o plain_a and_o simple_a assertion_n the_o ascribe_v to_o he_o the_o name_n title_n attribute_n and_o work_v peculiar_a to_o the_o true_a god_n and_o final_o the_o enjoin_v all_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o outward_a and_o inward_a man_n which_o be_v only_o due_a to_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o jesus_n be_v god_n bless_v for_o ever_o have_v thus_o full_o evince_v the_o deity_n humiliation_n of_o jesus_n i_o proceed_v to_o speak_v of_o his_o humanity_n or_o incarnation_n which_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o seven_o and_o 8_o verse_n he_o who_o we_o have_v declare_v to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n be_v please_v to_o become_v man_n not_o by_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n but_o by_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n a_o body_n and_o a_o soul_n as_o other_o man_n with_o the_o common_a natural_a quality_n and_o property_n of_o both_o he_o do_v not_o exchange_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n for_o that_o of_o man_n but_o he_o assume_v to_o the_o godhead_n the_o humane_a nature_n and_o become_v strict_o unite_v with_o it_o so_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o union_n of_o two_o nature_n the_o divine_a and_o humane_a in_o he_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n bodily_a col._n two_o 9_o the_o word_n say_v st._n john_n be_v make_v flesh_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o in_o former_a time_n this_o same_o son_n of_o god_n assume_v to_o himself_o a_o visible_a shape_n by_o mean_n of_o which_o he_o appear_v to_o abraham_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o he_o also_o lay_v aside_o again_o when_o he_o leave_v off_o talk_v with_o they_o but_o now_o he_o have_v take_v the_o humane_a nature_n to_o he_o in_o reality_n and_o truth_n and_o be_v become_v so_o personal_o unite_v to_o it_o that_o he_o be_v never_o more_o to_o lay_v it_o aside_o but_o be_v to_o abide_v so_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o this_o be_v a_o stupendous_a and_o incomprehensible_a mystery_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v as_o evident_a as_o scripture_n can_v make_v it_o for_o as_o st._n paul_n in_o this_o place_n do_v evident_o assert_v the_o deity_n and_o godhead_n of_o jesus_n so_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o reality_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n he_o take_v say_v he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o all_o that_o be_v essential_a to_o it_o and_o lest_o any_o shall_v imagine_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o he_o and_o other_o he_o add_v he_o be_v make_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man_n and_o find_v in_o fashion_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v he_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n just_a as_o other_o man_n except_z sin_z which_o be_v a_o adventitious_a quality_n and_o not_o essential_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o because_o he_o will_v be_v as_o other_o man_n and_o demonstrate_v the_o reality_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n as_o other_o therefore_o he_o come_v not_o to_o the_o world_n by_o immediate_a creation_n as_o adam_n but_o derive_v his_o be_v from_o other_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o woman_n and_o shut_v up_o in_o that_o dark_a and_o

you_o 24._o love_v i_o say_v he_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o again_o he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n and_o keep_v they_o he_o it_o be_v that_o love_v i_o if_o a_o man_n love_v i_o he_o

it_o will_v carry_v we_o further_o even_o to_o the_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v command_v we_o beside_o the_o two_o inducement_n already_o reward_n mention_v there_o be_v one_o other_o motive_n which_o may_v persuade_v we_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o these_o reward_n he_o have_v to_o bestow_v these_o service_n be_v much_o seek_v after_o which_o be_v honourable_a and_o profitable_a and_o true_o there_o be_v none_o which_o have_v more_o either_o of_o honour_n or_o profit_n than_o this_o of_o the_o lord_n
