to_o be_v in_o our_o saviour_n a_o manhood_n which_o he_o call_v jesus_n beget_v by_o joseph_n on_o mary_n and_o something_o above_o a_o manhood_n which_o he_o call_v christ_n which_o not_o until_o he_o be_v thirty_o year_n old_a come_v into_o he_o at_o his_o baptism_n that_o jesus_n suffer_v as_o he_o speak_v a_o little_a after_o but_o christ_n do_v not_o be_v spiritual_a thus_o you_o see_v ●renaeus_fw-la his_fw-la expression_n concern_v cerinthus_n where_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o he_o allowe'_v our_o saviour_n no_o be_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n as_o he_o term_n she_o for_o although_o he_o grant_n he_o a_o additional_a after_o his_o baptism_n by_o the_o descend_v down_o of_o christ_n unto_o he_o yet_o that_o person_n have_v no_o be_v before_o and_o that_o additional_a be_v long_o after_o his_o birth_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o it_o be_v not_o express_v that_o he_o think_v that_o christ_n which_o come_v into_o jesus_n have_v any_o be_v before_o that_o come_n down_o and_o tertullian_n adversus_fw-la haereticos_fw-la num._n 312._o affirme_n of_o cerinthus_n that_o he_o say_v christ_n be_v only_o a_o man_n without_o divinity_n to_o which_o that_o of_o irenaeus_n well_o enough_o agree'_v i_o quote_v tertullian_n now_o in_o pamelius_n his_o edition_n 1617._o so_o that_o there_o it_o seem_v that_o cerinthus_n concern_v our_o saviour_n divinity_n have_v the_o same_o opinion_n with_o socinus_n well_o to_o go_v on_o with_o the_o story_n of_o cerinthus_n he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o most_o turbulent_a spirit_n epiphanius_n say_v he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o raise_v the_o charge_n against_o st._n peter_n at_o jerusalem_n 28_o for_o communicate_v with_o the_o gentile_n act_n 11._o in_o the_o case_n of_o cornelius_n as_o likewise_o that_o he_o raise_v the_o tumult_n against_o st._n paul_n about_o circumcision_n with_o a_o whole_a leaf_n of_o such_o schismatical_a practice_n of_o he_o for_o they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o jew_n by_o his_o father_n and_o so_o stand_v still_o for_o the_o privilege_n of_o their_o nation_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o their_o rite_n upon_o this_o ground_n the_o love_a spirit_n of_o st._n john_n just_o abhor_v he_o and_o therefore_o as_o irenaeus_n in_o his_o three_o book_n and_o three_o chapter_n there_o be_v some_o who_o have_v hear_v polycarpus_n report_n etc._n etc._n which_o polycarpus_n be_v constitute_v bishop_n of_o smyrna_n by_o st._n john_n as_o irenaeus_n eusebius_n and_o all_o agree_v and_o that_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o smyrna_n which_o st._n john_n write_v to_o apocalypse_n 2.8_o he_o say_v irenaeus_n who_o himself_o have_v see_v polycarpus_n report_v that_o st._n john_n go_v to_o wash_v himself_o in_o the_o bath_n at_o ephesus_n see_v cerinthus_n and_o

thing_n that_o the_o opinion_n of_o cerinthus_n be_v much_o the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o socinian_o that_o this_o cerinthus_n be_v abhor_v by_o st._n john_n not_o as_o a_o man_n but_o as_o a_o enemy_n to_o truth_n so_o that_o st._n john_n hate_v his_o opinion_n may_v be_v reasonable_o think_v to_o provide_v against_o they_o and_o all_o this_o evident_a out_o of_o that_o most_o ancient_a author_n which_o socinus_n himself_o quote_n now_o let_v we_o see_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la what_o be_v do_v the_o same_o author_n irenaeus_n in_o his_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o his_o three_o book_n somewhat_o before_o the_o middle_n of_o that_o chapter_n affirme_n in_o express_a term_n that_o st._n john_n be_v willing_a by_o his_o declare_v the_o gospel_n to_o take_v away_o the_o error_n of_o cerinthus_n than_o which_o we_o can_v have_v nothing_o more_o clear_a a_o most_o authentic_a author_n affirm_v it_o upon_o most_o just_a and_o reasonable_a ground_n socinus_n then_o say_v too_o much_o when_o he_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o all_o reason_n that_o saint_n john_n shall_v write_v against_o ebion_n and_o cerinthus_n here_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o story_n to_o give_v but_o he_o dispute_n again_o against_o it_o page_n 7._o deinde_fw-la versimile_n non_fw-la est_fw-la etc._n etc._n moreover_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o john_n will_v pass_v over_o so_o great_a a_o matter_n so_o slight_o with_o silence_n but_o that_o he_o will_v name_v the_o haeretique_n or_o at_o the_o least_o their_o haeresy_n either_o secret_o or_o open_o and_o detest_v it_o which_o since_o he_o have_v not_o do_v why_o do_v he_o not_o somewhere_o clear_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v by_o nature_n god_n and_o man_n or_o that_o he_o exist_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n why_o do_v he_o affect_v to_o be_v so_o obscure_a and_o spare_a in_o a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n the_o ignorance_n whereof_o bring_v we_o eternal_a destruction_n etc._n etc._n thus_o far_o he_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o understand_v all_o the_o apostle_n reason_n but_o be_o confident_a he_o have_v abundance_n of_o reason_n for_o all_o he_o do_v but_o will_v answer_v all_o he_o say_v first_o that_o the_o scripture_n seldom_o set_z down_o the_o haeretique_n or_o haeresye_n against_o which_o it_o write_v although_o sometime_o it_o do_v second_o to_o that_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o clear_o witness_v that_o christ_n be_v by_o nature_n god_n and_o man_n or_o exist_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n i_o shall_v show_v he_o that_o he_o have_v in_o as_o clear_a term_n as_o possible_o can_v be_v although_o not_o in_o the_o same_o and_o i_o be_o confident_a socinian_o that_o have_v he_o express_v this_o mystery_n in_o those_o very_a word_n he_o set_z down_z he_o and_o his_o companion_n will_v have_v cavil_v at_o they_o that_o those_o term_n be_v use_v otherwise_o in_o some_o place_n that_o there_o be_v some_o copy_n or_o other_o without_o one_o of_o they_o or_o all_o that_o they_o do_v relate_v to_o something_o before_o or_o behind_o and_o not_o to_o christ_n which_o be_v their_o usual_a evasion_n but_o it_o be_v a_o vanity_n of_o they_o to_o teach_v the_o apostle_n how_o he_o shall_v express_v himself_o he_o have_v do_v it_o abundant_o and_o as_o clear_o as_o those_o word_n will_v do_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v short_o sect._n 2._o allege_v but_o he_o urge_v far_a that_o st._n john_n give_v we_o this_o and_o no_o other_o reason_n towards_o the_o end_n of_o his_o gospel_n john_n 20.31_o cur_n jesus_n signa_fw-la i_o translate_v it_o why_o he_o write_v the_o miracle_n of_o jesus_n or_o as_o other_o will_v have_v it_o his_o whole_a history_n then_o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v life_n eternal_a i_o will_v not_o trouble_v his_o lection_n which_o be_v very_o erroneous_a but_o let_v the_o reader_n observe_v that_o although_o st._n john_n say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o write_v be_v write_v yet_o he_o use_v not_o that_o phrase_n put_v upon_o he_o by_o socinus_n this_o &_o non_fw-la aliam_fw-la and_o no_o other_o but_o suppose_v he_o have_v this_o will_v serve_v our_o design_n for_o all_o we_o labour_v for_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a these_o troublesome_a man_n have_v bring_v distinction_n of_o the_o son_n into_o natural_a and_o adopt_a and_o the_o like_a but_o that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o son_n as_o believe_v of_o which_o we_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n can_v be_v conceive_v nothing_o less_o then_o that_o he_o must_v be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o his_o father_n all_o other_o belief_n i_o doubt_v will_v fall_v short_a of_o that_o excellency_n and_o therefore_o beza_n most_o genuine_o lection_n according_a to_o the_o original_a which_o prepose_n a_o article_n both_o to_o christ_n and_o the_o son_n read'_v it_o thus_o that_o you_o shall_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v that_o christ_n that_o son_n of_o god_n which_o emphasis_n do_v exceed_o much_o elevate_v the_o conceit_n of_o he_o show_v he_o to_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a christ_n and_o a_o extraordinary_a not_o mere_o a_o adopt_a son_n which_o all_o his_o servant_n be_v here_o bind_v to_o believe_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v st._n john_n write_v this_o gospel_n to_o show_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o some_o eminent_a and_o peculiar_a way_n the_o son_n of_o god_n his_o that_o which_o he_o adde'_v that_o believe_v in_o he_o we_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n be_v a_o absolute_a avoid_v a_o strong_a argument_n to_o prove_v his_o godhead_n for_o although_o i_o
