i_o presume_v this_o liberty_n with_o you_o of_o the_o son_n consider_v then_o i_o say_v be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o you_o shall_v make_v the_o son_n know_v thing_n as_o god_n and_o not_o know_v they_o as_o man._n p._n 177_o pray_v after_o what_o manner_n be_v the_o god_n head_n incarnate_a and_o what_o kind_n of_o person_n be_v this_o that_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o ventriloquy_n you_o make_v to_o speak_v something_o as_o divine_a when_o the_o ordinary_a person_n know_v nothing_o of_o they_o himself_o ay_o p._n 270._o so_o what_o a_o answer_v you_o have_v there_o that_o the_o son_n be_v tempt_v as_o to_o his_o manhood_n but_o not_o as_o to_o his_o godhead_n and_o pray_v then_o where_o be_v the_o godhead_n all_o the_o while_n like_o baal_n asleep_a or_o be_v the_o man_n christ_n now_o and_o then_o as_o it_o be_v possess_v by_o fit_n methinks_v i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o handle_v the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o hypothesis_n they_o make_v i_o giddy_a when_o i_o consider_v they_o so_o in_o the_o same_o page_n in_o interpret_n mark_v 13._o 32._o but_o of_o that_o day_n and_o that_o hour_n know_v no_o man_n no_o not_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n neither_o the_o son_n but_o

the_o church_n with_o too_o much_o zeal_n but_o to_o return_v to_o my_o purpose_n nor_o will_v your_o evasion_n of_o self-consciousness_n make_v god_n and_o man_n one_o person_n here_o as_o you_o

my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o and_o what_o can_v here_o be_v any_o pretence_n then_o that_o the_o godhead_n suffer_v for_o shame_v leave_v the_o blasphemy_n and_o for_o his_o be_v conscious_a to_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n that_o that_o shall_v make_v he_o incarnate_a be_v such_o a_o shuffle_n that_o you_o have_v as_o good_a say_v god_n be_v personal_o unite_v to_o we_o
