partake_v in_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v god_n answer_v 1._o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v call_v god_n nor_o be_v god_n but_o he_o be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o true_a god_n who_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o flesh_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v who_o be_v christ_n or_o what_o be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v immanuel_n the_o anoint_v or_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n in_o like_a manner_n saint_n be_v not_o god_n nor_o be_v call_v god_n but_o he_o who_o be_v in_o saint_n be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o true_a god_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v who_o be_v a_o saint_n or_o what_o be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v a_o inspire_a man_n a_o anoint_a one_o or_o christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n in_o man_n 2._o christ_n so_o perfect_o deny_v himself_o of_o all_o that_o be_v man_n and_o resign_v it_o up_o to_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o of_o himself_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o the_o father_n do_v work_v all_o his_o work_n in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o the_o several_a act_n motion_n and_o performing_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o from_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o be_v the_o stream_n and_o flow_n forth_o of_o the_o eternal_a fullness_n in_o he_o so_o that_o god_n become_v manifest_a through_o christ_n the_o way_n and_o work_n of_o christ_n as_o through_o a_o crystal_n or_o transparent_a glass_n and_o therefore_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o god_n alone_o be_v and_o do_v all_o in_o christ_n because_o he_o will_v be_v know_v worship_v and_o approach_v unto_o only_o in_o christ_n and_o no_o man_n shall_v seek_v or_o find_v or_o come_v near_o unto_o any_o god_n but_o that_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n under_o the_o law_n god_n fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n yet_o he_o will_v be_v know_v and_o worship_v only_o in_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n under_o the_o gospel_n he_o dwell_v in_o all_o saint_n yet_o he_o be_v with_o open_a face_n behold_v and_o will_v be_v worship_v as_o the_o true_a god_n only_o in_o his_o live_a temple_n or_o sanctuary_n the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n so_o because_o we_o come_v to_o god_n and_o the_o father_n by_o christ_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o faith_n and_o hope_n through_o christ_n and_o not_o through_o saint_n therefore_o be_v christ_n call_v god_n the_o saint_n not_o sect_n xv._o saint_n three_o reason_n against_o the_o spirit_n in_o saint_n if_o saint_n partake_v with_o christ_n in_o union_n with_o god_n so_o that_o the_o same_o divine_a nature_n which_o dwell_v in_o christ_n dwell_v also_o in_o saint_n then_o what_o pre-eminence_n have_v christ_n above_o saint_n much_o every_o way_n chief_o in_o

to_o reconcile_v all_o thing_n to_o himself_o and_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n to_o gather_v together_o into_o one_o in_o he_o all_o thing_n 1.18_o dan._n 9.25_o heb._n 2.10_o col._n 1.18_o
