had with thee before the world was Mat. 22.44 John 17.24 Father I will that they also whom thou hast given be with me where I am that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before the foundations of the world John 8.57 58. Then said the Jews unto him thou art not yet fifty years old and hast thou seen Abraham Jesus said unto them verily verily I say unto you before Abraham was I AM. Q. 16. You were saying that there are Texts in the Old Testament wherein this great GOD-Angel the Son tells us that he intended to be incarnate pray what are they A. Zech. 12.10 They shall look upon me whom they have pierced Mal. 3.1 Behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his Temple even the messenger of the Covenant whom ye delight he shall come saith the Lord. Q. 17. Pray what Prerogative do the Scriptures allow this GOD-Angel-Son before other Angels then They say you hold that GOD the Father created this first-begotten Son first and afterwards by him as an instrument form'd all the other Creatures pray what Texts have you to support such an Opinion A. Heb. 1.2 10. GOD hath in these last days spoke unto us by his Son whom he hath appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the worlds and thou Lord in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens are the work of thine hands Heb. 2.10 Eph. 3.9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been bid in GOD who created all things by Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 8 6.15.-27 28. Col. 1.15 Who is the image of the invisible GOD the first-born of every creature for by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth visible and invisible whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers all things were created by him and for him and he is before all things and by him all things consist and he is the head of the body the Church who is the beginning the first-born from the dead that in all things he might have the pre-eminence for it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell c. John 1.1 In the beginning was the word and the word was with GOD and the word was GOD the same was in the beginning with GOD all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made he was in the world and the world was made by him and the world knew him not he came unto his own and his own received him not Q. 18. But pray what Authority have you to call the Son a GOD-Angel as you do You us'd to say that there is a Text where the Son as GOD is said also to have the Angels for his Fellows if there be such pray let us see it to satisfie us in what you do A. Heb. 1.4 Being made so much better than the Angels as he hath by inheritance obtain'd a more excellent name than they for unto which of the Angels said he at any time thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee and again I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son and again when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world he saith and let all the Angels of GOD worship him and of the Angels he saith who maketh his Angels Spirits and his Ministers a flame of Fire but unto the Son he saith thy throne O GOD is for ever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore GOD even thy GOD hath anointed thee with the oyl of gladness above thy fellows Rev. 8.3 5.6 7 14.2 Q. 19. I see then that 't is this Prerogative of Christ that makes you think him call'd the only begotten Son of God so eminently as expressed John 3.16 c. but have you no Texts that declare Christ came to this very intent into the World incarnate to redeem his Creation that fell by Adam besides John 1 c. before A. Heb. 2.9 10. But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the Angels for the suffering of death crown'd with glory and honour that he by the grace of GOD should taste death for every man for it became him for whom are all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect thro' sufferings John 6.62 Rom. 5.18 19. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life for as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous 1 Cor. 15.21 22. For since by man came death by man came also the resurrection of the dead for as in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made alive Eph. 4.10 Q. 20. What you believe then that the great GOD-Angel Christ was reduc'd as to the first semen of an humane Soul when incarnate and so lost all his former power by it but pray what Texts have you to prove it A. Heb. 5.7 8. Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was heard in that he fear'd tho' he were a Son yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffer'd John 17.2.18 20.21 14.31 John 12.49 For I have not spoke of my self but the Father which sent me gave me a Commandment what I should say and what I should speak Luke 22.43 And there appeared an Angel unto him from heaven strengthning him Mat. 27.46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cryed out with a loud voice saying Eli Eli lamasabachany that is to say my GOD my GOD why hast thou forsaken me Mat. 26.39 And he went a little further and fell on his face and pray'd saying O my Father if it be possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt Mat. 26.53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father and he shall presently giâ—â— me more than twelve legions of Angels John 11.41 42. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid and Jesus lift up his eyes and said Father I thank thee that thou hast heard me and I know that thou hearest me always but because of the people which stand by I said it that they may believe that thou hast sent me Q. 21. But had not Christ all the glory of his pre-existent state restor'd him after the Resurrection Pray what say the Scriptures John 17.5 And now O Father glorifie thou
