reason_n if_o reason_n may_v obtain_v credit_n she_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o there_o can_v be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n but_o one_o principal_a agent_n because_o there_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o in_o way_n of_o eminency_n but_o one_o god_n for_o if_o there_o be_v two_o principal_a agent_n there_o must_v be_v two_o god_n in_o way_n of_o eminency_n the_o term_n be_v convertible_a which_o to_o affirm_v will_v be_v absurd_a and_o easy_o disprove_v and_o therefore_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v any_o he_o be_v but_o a_o instrumental_a agent_n in_o that_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o three_o reason_n issue_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o whole_a christ_n be_v a_o creature_n have_v be_v already_o prove_v yet_o let_v i_o add_v a_o word_n from_o col._n 1.15_o which_o do_v immediate_o precede_v the_o text_n now_o in_o question_n christ_n be_v there_o call_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n and_o so_o be_v distinguish_v from_o god_n because_o the_o image_n and_o the_o thing_n whereof_o it_o be_v a_o image_n be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v the_o image_n of_o its_o self_n now_o he_o be_v call_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n in_o that_o god_n through_o he_o do_v principal_o manifest_a and_o declare_v his_o divine_a glory_n and_o in_o that_o the_o chief_a dominion_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v by_o the_o father_n commit_v to_o he_o in_o this_o sense_n man_n be_v call_v the_o image_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 11.7_o he_o be_v also_o call_v the_o first-born_a of_o every_o creature_n whereby_o he_o be_v rank_v among_o the_o creature_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o they_o now_o if_o whole_a christ_n be_v a_o creature_n then_o will_v it_o unavoidable_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o instrument_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o god_n and_o creature_n be_v contradistinct_a and_o he_o can_v not_o be_v unless_o he_o be_v god_n a_o principal_a agent_n the_o four_o reason_n do_v spring_n from_o the_o manner_n of_o christ_n work_v 1._o though_o he_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o original_o of_o he_o 1_o cor._n 8.6_o where_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o show_v we_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o god_n even_o the_o father_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v by_o not_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o the_o son_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o father_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n and_o original_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o christ_n the_o instrument_n of_o the_o father_n by_o who_o he_o do_v manifest_v his_o divine_a glory_n in_o produce_v creature_n 2._o ter._n instrumentum_fw-la &_o minist_n ter._n in_o that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n act_v by_o he_o ephes_n 3.9_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n by_o jesus_n christ_n origin_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d just_o

he_o be_v frequent_o call_v by_o the_o father_n the_o instrument_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n but_o you_o endeavour_v to_o strengthen_v your_o proposition_n by_o a_o reason_n such_o as_o it_o be_v draw_v from_o impossibility_n god_n can_v say_v you_o make_v use_n of_o no_o instrument_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n but_o sir_n this_o assertion_n derogate_v from_o god_n all-sufficiency_n be_v any_o thing_n impossible_a with_o god_n be_v any_o thing_n too_o hard_o for_o the_o lord_n 2._o it_o contradict_v your_o own_o testimony_n i_o remember_v that_o in_o a_o conference_n where_o i_o exercise_v both_o silence_n and_o patience_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n since_o i_o receive_v your_o paper_n you_o do_v affirm_v in_o the_o hear_n of_o not_o a_o few_o that_o god_n may_v at_o first_o have_v make_v a_o angel_n or_o some_o other_o creature_n and_o by_o it_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n how_o to_o reconcile_v one_o with_o the_o other_o be_v a_o thing_n unfeasible_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v confess_v that_o you_o be_v not_o always_o infallible_a yea_o that_o sometime_o you_o differ_v from_o yourself_o and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o you_o disagree_v with_o other_o but_o what_o shall_v i_o take_v from_o your_o present_a judgement_n must_v your_o last_o word_n stand_v if_o so_o than_o you_o have_v weaken_v your_o cause_n and_o i_o may_v save_v a_o labour_n in_o return_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o your_o paper_n if_o the_o former_a than_o you_o must_v recant_v what_o you_o last_o say_v and_o i_o must_v not_o here_o make_v a_o end_n of_o my_o reply_n to_o your_o major_n the_o truth_n be_v i_o honour_v reason_n so_o much_o that_o i_o shall_v rather_o prostrate_v myself_o to_o its_o shadow_n and_o appearance_n then_o to_o the_o best_a man_n testimony_n and_o assertion_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v honour_v reason_n so_o much_o as_o not_o to_o pass_v by_o without_o examination_n that_o which_o appear_v in_o your_o paper_n with_o reasins_z dress_v on_o it_o your_o reason_n thus_o run_v now_o because_o creation_n be_v a_o make_n of_o all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o and_o require_v a_o infinite_a power_n god_n can_v make_v use_n of_o no_o instrument_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n can_v derive_v and_o give_v a_o infinite_a power_n to_o any_o creature_n because_o no_o creature_n be_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o divine_a attribute_n for_o it_o will_v make_v he_o god_n to_o be_v almighty_a or_o to_o be_v infinite_a in_o power_n answ_n i_o shall_v not_o answer_v to_o all_o in_o this_o reason_n which_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v sound_a doctrine_n but_o only_o so_o far_o as_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n require_v 1._o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n infinite_a power_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o infinity_o of_o his_o power_n manifest_v full_o in_o that_o or_o any_o other_o work_n for_o he_o have_v more_o power_n than_o ever_o yet_o he_o have_v need_n to_o use_v or_o then_o can_v in_o any_o work_n be_v full_o declare_v 2._o your_o assertion_n plain_o deny_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v god_n almighty_a or_o infinite_a in_o power_n for_o you_o say_v that_o god_n can_v not_o give_v or_o derive_v a_o infinite_a power_n to_o any_o creature_n and_o that_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v god_n almighty_a etc._n etc._n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v a_o creature_n how_o then_o can_v that_o person_n be_v god_n 3._o the_o ground_n of_o your_o argument_n be_v straw_n and_o stubble_n for_o infinite_a power_n may_v be_v manifest_v by_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v not_o communicate_v and_o so_o their_o proper_a power_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o those_o that_o wrought_v miracle_n and_o raise_v the_o dead_a in_o which_o infinite_a power_n be_v manifest_v and_o yet_o the_o instrument_n thereof_o be_v not_o in_o power_n infinite_a the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o gospel-preacher_n who_o god_n make_v his_o instrument_n in_o man_n conversion_n as_o great_a a_o work_n as_o the_o world_n creation_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o christ_n in_o his_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o enough_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v now_o examine_v your_o minor_n which_o be_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o jesus_n christ._n this_o be_v true_a christ_n be_v except_v of_o who_o creatural_a be_v i_o have_v already_o speak_v obj._n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o in_o john_n 1.3_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o without_o he_o be_v nothing_o make_v that_o be_v make_v sol._n the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v restrain_v to_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o by_o the_o use_n of_o a_o instrument_n be_v make_v and_o create_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o creation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v include_v and_o in_o this_o three_o verse_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o as_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n in_o create_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o be_v here_o to_o be_v except_v as_o when_o john_n the_o baptist_n speak_v of_o christ_n john_n 3.32_o say_v what_o he_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v that_o he_o testify_v and_o no_o man_n receive_v his_o testimony_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o john_n be_v to_o be_v except_v person_n be_v sometime_o segregated_a from_o other_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n in_o way_n of_o eminency_n be_v chief_a among_o they_o thus_o in_o psal_n 18.1_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o david_n sing_v that_o song_n when_o the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n what_o be_v
