christ_n pray_v according_a to_o the_o humane_a nature_n only_o be_v sufficient_o refute_v by_o what_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o both_o in_o the_o 3d_o and_o 14_o chapter_n and_o also_o in_o the_o

the_o first_o person_n of_o the_o deity_n above_o the_o second_o as_o such_o or_o else_o they_o hold_v it_o not_o if_o they_o hold_v it_o those_o person_n be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o numerical_a

the_o glory_n of_o the_o deed_n attribute_v to_o he_o than_o to_o the_o son_n yea_o christ_n shall_v rather_o have_v take_v heed_n lest_o by_o the_o example_n of_o his_o prayer_n which_o he_o be_v

which_o of_o himself_o he_o can_v either_o assume_v to_o himself_o or_o bestow_v on_o other_o not_o to_o repeat_v those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v already_o speak_v we_o may_v demand_v to_o which_o

and_o to_o direct_v prayer_n rather_o to_o the_o more_o honourable_a it_o be_v great_a modesty_n to_o make_v a_o address_n to_o the_o inferior_a rather_o than_o to_o the_o superior_a or_o if_o you_o think_v the_o person_n altogether_o equal_a you_o show_v no_o great_a modesty_n if_o you_o betake_v yourself_o and_o convert_v your_o prayer_n to_o one_o than_o to_o the_o other_o if_o they_o ascribe_v this_o modesty_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n or_o person_n as_o we_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a if_o this_o person_n be_v divine_a that_o be_v if_o he_o be_v the_o very_a supreme_a god_n they_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o injurious_a to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n for_o modesty_n be_v a_o virtue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n not_o of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o be_v i_o say_v a_o

not_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n but_o according_a to_o the_o humane_a only_o for_o it_o will_v not_o be_v impossible_a that_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v for_o modesty_n sake_n so_o debase_v himself_o before_o the_o father_n as_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o for_o other_o namely_o man_n and_o obtain_v gift_n for_o they_o which_o he_o can_v by_o himself_o

that_o those_o thing_n be_v not_o proper_o say_v of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o that_o bodily_a shape_n and_o its_o descent_n from_o heaven_n be_v only_o a_o outward_a resemblance_n of_o the_o

another_o reason_n of_o diversity_n in_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o give_v as_o a_o inferior_a can_v exercise_v towards_o a_o superior_a such_o as_o be_v the_o confer_v of_o power_n and_o

because_o when_o those_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o father_n he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v make_v lord_n and_o christ_n but_o who_o dare_v to_o say_v of_o the_o father_n that_o
