here_o the_o apostle_n do_v distinguish_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o lord_n from_o god_n and_o show_v that_o those_o gift_n which_o be_v distribute_v to_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fit_v for_o several_a ministration_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v all_o of_o they_o proceed_v from_o god_n the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 8.5_o 6._o do_v as_o one_o design_v the_o thing_n distinguish_v the_o lord_n jesus_n from_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v say_v he_o that_o be_v call_v god_n whether_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n as_o there_o be_v god_n many_o and_o lord_n many_o but_o unte_fw-mi we_o there_o be_v one_o god_n even_o the_o father_n of_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o unto_o he_o and_o one_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o by_o he_o here_o we_o have_v the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n creed_n they_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n in_o way_n of_o eminency_n to_o wit_n the_o father_n of_o who_o as_o the_o first_o cause_n be_v all_o thing_n and_o unto_o who_o as_o the_o ultimate_a end_n saint_n be_v and_o so_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o lord_n in_o way_n of_o eminency_n among_o all_o make_a lord_n even_o jesus_n by_o who_o as_o the_o great_a instrument_n of_o god_n be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o by_o he_o see_v ephes_n 4.4_o 5_o 6._o where_o a_o plain_a distinction_n be_v make_v betwixt_o the_o spirit_n the_o lord_n and_o god_n but_o enough_o of_o this_o obj._n but_o christ_n do_v say_v that_o he_o be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n john_n 10.30_o sol._n it_o be_v true_a christ_n do_v say_v that_o he_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o but_o one_o what_o one_o person_n that_o none_o will_v assert_v but_o be_v they_o one_o god_n one_o essence_n yea_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o many_o will_v subscribe_v to_o as_o christ_n meaning_n here_o but_o do_v christ_n intend_v to_o signify_v that_o doubtless_o no_o which_o appear_v not_o only_o from_o the_o absurdity_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o also_o evident_o from_o christ_n vindication_n of_o himself_o from_o the_o accusation_n of_o the_o

deny_v the_o premise_v of_o their_o conclusion_n they_o conclude_v that_o he_o speak_v blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o go_v about_o to_o stone_n he_o because_o as_o they_o understand_v he_o make_v
