Wherein, is most accurately and divinely handled, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ; proving him to be God and man, coequall and coeternall with the Father: to the confutation of severall heresies both ancient and modern. By that eminently learned and reverend divine, John Arrowsmith, D.D. late Master of Trinity-Colledge in Cambridge, and Professor of Divinity there.

therefore_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o may_v meet_v what_o have_v be_v may_v be_v again_o the_o two_o nature_n meet_v in_o christ_n therefore_o god_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o man_n yea_o they_o

to_o think_v of_o the_o corruption_n of_o his_o nature_n that_o be_v so_o full_a of_o defilement_n that_o it_o can_v be_v sanctify_v let_v he_o withal_o think_v that_o his_o nature_n be_v capable_a

if_o all_o these_o allure_v we_o not_o then_o remember_v what_o follow_v it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n one_o will_v follow_v upon_o the_o
