A10179	Certaine quæres propounded to the bowers at the name of Iesvs and to the patrons thereof. Wherein the authorities, and reasons alleadged by Bishop Andrewes and his followers, in defence of this ceremony, are briefly examined and refuted; the mistranslation of Phil. 2.10.11. cleared, and that tet, with others acquitted both from commanding or authorizing this novell ceremony, here gived to be unlawfull in sundry respects.

and names of each person in the Trinity which are proper and incommunicable one to the other where as the essence and name of the Deitie are common to each three persons Which were heresie and Blasphemy to affirme yea the very heresie of Nestorious condemned in the Councell of Ephesus Whether it be not heresie to say that Christ is not God nor the name Christ the name of God it beeing directly contrary to Rom. 9.5 Christ who is over all God blessed for ever Amen To Athanasius his Creede And the second Article of Religion of the Church of England Which say that God and man is one Christ Contrary to the Doctrine of all Orthodox Fathers and Writers against the A●●i●ns who unanimously averre that Christ is God Yea contrary to Titus 2. 13. Lookinge for that blessed hope and the glorious appearinge of the greate God and our Saviour Iesus Christ Where Christ is not only called God But the greate God and to the Booke o● Common Prayer which injoines us thus to pray CHRIST have mercie upon us O CHRIST heare us From our enemies defend us O CHRIST c. And to say Thou only O CHRIST with the holy Ghost art most high in the glory of God the Father All which passages expresly resolve Christ to be God and the name of God else we should not thus pray unto him as God Whether this be not a falshood that God cannot be annointed as annointing signifies a designation to an office Since Christ both as he is God and Man was designed to be a Saviour and since we reade thus of Christs annointinge Psal. 45.7 Therefore God thy God hath annointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes Which the Fathers thus interpret O God the Sonne Thy God to witt God the Father hath annointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse to witt with the holy Ghost Acts. 10.38 Heb. 1.8.9 Whence S. Augustine Beda Paschatius Ra●ber●us with sundry others on the 44. our 45. Psalme write thus D●us ungitur a Deo c. God is annointed by God God the Sonne by God the Father with God the holy Ghost And whether this be not an error That Christ is not the name of God nor of our Saviours Divinity but of his humanity only Where as Iren●us advers Heres l. 3. c. 20. Athanasius in his Declaration Quod Christus sit verus D●us that Christ is true God P. 377. therefore this name of Christ the name of God Nazianzen in his 5. Oration p. 167. B. With Elias Cretensis on that place Damascen Orthodoxae fidei l. 3. c. 3. p. 365. with Clichtonius in his Commentary on that place p. 366. And Aquinas 3. parte Quaest 16. Art 5. Quaest. 17. Art 1. expressly resolve That Christ is called Christ in respect of his Divinity That Christ is the name both of his Divinity and Humanity In which are expressed and comprized both his Divinity annointing and his Humanity annointed And that he could not be called Christ if he were only man this name beinge predicated of both his natures and given to him in respect of both If this proposition be true That Iesus is the proper name of God and that God cannot be annointed and so Christ not the name of God as Bishop Andrewes argues How can this agree with Acts. 4.27 Thy holy Childe Iesus whom thou hast annointed c. And Acts. 10.38 How God annointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost and with power Or with that of Tertullian to omitt other Fathers adversus Prazean p. 709. Siue Iesus tantummodo positum est intelligitur Christus quia Iesus unctus est sive solummodo Christus idem est Iesus quia unctus est Iesus Either Iesus therefore must not be the proper name of God but the name only of Christs humanity as Beda Anselme Alcuninus Aquinas teach us who say that Iesus est proprium nomen assump●ae carnis Iesus is the proper name of Christs assumed humanity And Hoc nomen Iesus signi●icat solam naturam humanam This name Iesus signifies only the humane nature And so by the Bishops owne Doctrine we must not bow unto it because it is not the name of God or Christs Divinity but of his humanity only as these Fathers teach Or else this proposition God cannot be annointed must be false because these two Texts expressly say that Iesus as Iesus was annointed And themselves confesse that Iesus as Iesus is God And so God may be annointed And then Christ will prove the name of God aswell as Iesus notwithstanding the Bishops reason and be therefore of right to be bowed unto aswell as it by the Bishops owne arguinge if it be solid Whether that Text of Acts. 4.12 Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men w●ereby we must be saved be meant of the name Iesus As if men were saved by it alone or only of the Pe●son of Christ as the 10.11 verses and the very first words Neither is there salvation in any other with the Contents of our Bibles that by the same I●sus only we must be eternally saved and all O●●hodox Int●●preters expounde it If of the name Iesus only As the Patrons of this Ceremony glosse it How then can they be excused from Blasphemy in attributing our Salvation unto the bare name of Iesus which we receive only from his person and Merits which make him a Saviour and purchased him the Title of Jesus Matth. 1.21 Acts. 13.23 Or how will it follow hence There is noe other name under heaven whereby we must be saved but the name Iesus though not expressed in the Text E●go we must bow a● and to this name as oft as we heare it mentioned in the Church If of the person only as is most true why then doe they abuse this Text yea that place in Ps. 95.6 O come let u● worship and fall downe and kneel before the Lord our Maker not Iesus or Saviour being writen long before our Saviours Nativity or the name Iesus was given him and so not meant of it in applying it meerely to the name Iesus to cause simple people to adore it when as it speakes of the person only If the name of Iesus be thus to be bowed to and at Why then bow they not to it when they see it written printed carved paynted or ingraven as well as when they heare it why bow they not at the sight thereof as well as at the sounde why not out of the Church as well as in the Church Since Salmeron the Iesuite teacheth them That this name whether it be pronounced with the mouth or heard with the eare or where ever it is written painted or ingraven is worthy divine worship not for the bare word wri●ing or picture it selfe but for the signification of it as the Crosse and Image of Christ
