And John 2.11 He manifested his glory and his Disciples believed in him And the Gospel is called The gospel of the glory of Christ 2 Cor. 4.4 That which is added in the Prophet v. 8. The word of our God endureth for ever that is the word of Christ of which himself said Matth. 24.35 Heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away It follows in the Prophet v. 10. Behold your God to which that of St. John Baptist answereth Behold the Lamb of God From these Premises it follows that Christ was that God foretold by the Prophet and pointed at by John Baptist The like is Mal. 3.1 compared with Matth. 11.10 of which before Isa 6. compared with Joh. 12.41 I saw the Lord sitting on a high throne c. To this St John refers These things said Isaiah as when 〈◊〉 saw his Glory The Argument is this He whose glory Isaiah saw was the God of Israel but Jesus is he whose glory Isaiah saw there fore he is the God of Israel Both these Propositions are express Scripture Jer. 23.6 compared with 1 Cor. 1.30 The Argument is this He whose name is The Lord our Righteousness is the God of Israel but the King Messias the branch of David Christ is he whose name is The Lord our Righteousness The major is granted the minor appears from the consideration of that Deliverance and Salvation there spoken of which is spiritual and Christ alone is the Author of this Redemption or Salvation Acts 4.10 Neither is there salvation in any other for 1 Cor. 1.30 of God he is made to us wisdom and righteousness sanctification and redemption He then that is the Lord our Righteousness is Jehovah Isa 41.4 compared with Revel 1.11 17. and 2.8 and Chap. 22.13 The words are I am the first and the last which are applyed to our Saviour Revel 1.11 17. The Argument is this He that is the first and the last is the most high God Christ is the first and the last therefore he is the most high God And doubtless our Saviour would never have assumed this Title so derogatory to God so dangerous to his Church if he had been but a Creature as the Socinians say Psal 24. with 1 Cor. 2.8 The Messias in the Psalmist is called the King of Glory Lift up your heads O Gates and the King of Glory shall come in This King of Glory is called The Lord strong and mighty and the Lord of Hosts i. e. the most high God And as this was Prophesied of Christ so it is applyed unto Christ whom the Apostle calls the Lord of Glory and as our Church Thou art the King of Glory O Christ therefore Christ is that Lord strong and mighty and the Lord of Hosts the most high God Zach. 11.13 compared with Matth. 27.9 The words are The Lord said unto me Cast it unto the Potter a goodly price that I was prized at of them c. Matth. 27.9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah saying And they took the price c. The Argument is this He that in Zachariah was valued at thirty Peices of Silver c. was the Lord God of Israel Christ was he that was thus valued therefore he is the God of Israel Zach. 12.10 compared with Joh. 19.37 Revel 1.7 The words are They shall look upon me whom they have peirced c. So St. John and another Scripture says They shall look on him whom they have peirced The Argument is this He whom the House of David and Inhabitants of Jerusalem are said to look on and to have peirced is the most high God Christ is he whom they should look on and whom they had peirced therefore Christ is the most high God It is evident that he who spake this in Zachariah was Jehovah that would pour out the Spirit of Grace and Supplication which makes the first Proposition undeniable and the Apostle confirms the second so both are undeniable Numb 21.5 6. compared with 1 Cor. 10.9 He for tempting of whom the Israelites perished in the wilderness was the God of Israel For tempting of Christ the Israelites perished in the Wilderness therefore Christ is that God of Israel Isa 52.67 compared with Rom. 10.15 The words are Therefore my people shall know my Name therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak behold it is I. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings that publisheth peace that bringeth good tidings of good that publisheth salvation that saith unto Sion Thy God reigneth This is a Prophecy of Christ and a certain time is spoken of his appearance In that day they shall know that I am he Ecce adsum Behold it is I. The Argument is this He that says Behold it is I or Ecce adsum is the God of Israel but it is Christ that says it in the Prophet therefore he is that God of Israel Socinus grants this place concerns the time of Christ's coming but would have it to refer to the Deliverance from Babylon But the words of the Apostle Rom. 10.15 O how beautiful are the feet c. plainly refer to the Apostles that preached the Gospel which contains the glad Tidings of Peace which the Prophet spake of with great admiration Behold thy King reigneth And Socinus grants that the Deliverance from Babylon was but a Type of that by Christ the truth or true Deliverance intended was that by Christ the God of Israel Isa 60.1 compared with Eph. 5.14 The words are Arise arise for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee The Apostle gives the meaning of this Scripture Eph. 5.14 Arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light which he thus prefaceth wherefore he says i. e. the Holy Ghost in the Scripture and that Christ is spoken of appears from v. 3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy sight agreeable to A light to lighten the Gentiles The Argument then is He that was to enlighten the People of Israel and to be a Light to the Gentiles was the God of Israel but Christ was to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of his people Israel therefore Christ is the God of Israel Isa 54.5 compared with Matth. 9.15 and 25.1 1 Joh. 3.29 2 Cor. 11.12 The words are For thy Maker is thy Husband the Lord of Hosts is his name The Argument is this The Husband of the Church is the God of Israel Christ is the Husband of the Church therefore Christ is the God of Israel The Prophet affirms the first Proposition the second is proved by our Saviour Mat. 9.15 where he calls himself the Bridegroom and chap. 25.1 in the Parable of the ten Virgins He is the Bridegroom Eph. 5. the Apostle speaks of Christ and his Church as of Husband and Wife This Union was prophesied of by Hosea chap. 2.16 In that day thou shalt

more c. 11. speaking of the Divine and Humane Nature of Christ he says That as Nature teacheth that he that is born of Man is Man so it teacheth that he that is born of God is God Theognostus of Alexandria as Athanasius quotes him taught the same Doctrine That the Son was begotten of the Substance of the Father as is Beams from the Sun and as the Sun is not lessened by the effusion of its Beams so neither is the Substance of the Father diminished by begetting the Son the Image of himself Dionisius Romanus wrote an Epistle against the Sabellians wherein he says It is necessary that the Word of God be united to the God of all and that the holy Spirit remains in God and so the holy Trinity doth unite in One as in a certain Head viz. the Omnipotent God of the Universe And he confutes those who hold the Son of God to be made as other Creatures as being contrary to the Scripture Lastly That the Trinity is not to be divided into three Gods nor the Dignity of it to be lessened by the name of a Creature but we are to believe in God the Father Almighty and in Jesus Christ his Son and in the Holy Spirit And that the Son is united to the Father he proves from the words of our Saviour I and the Father are one for thus the Divine Trinity and the preaching of that Holy Monarchy is preserved Dionisius of Alexandria whom the Arians boasted to be of their Party wrote against them in his own defence an Epistle which he calls a Resutation wherein he declares That he never was of the Opinion of Arius but that he alway thought our Lord to be the Word and Wisdom undivided from the Father For saith he under the name of the Father I imply that he hath a Son and when I mention the Son I understand also that he hath a Father and so I joyn them together for from whom should the Son come but from the Father But the Arians will not understand that the Son cannot be separated from the Father the names implying a communion between them and the Holy Ghost is in both and cannot be separated from him that sends him How then can you suspect me who use those Names to have thought that they may be divided or separated wherefore you accuse me falsly as if I had denied that Christ is Consubstantial with God Thus I said that the Plant proceeds from the Seed or Root and is another thing from that from whence it proceeds yet is it of the same nature with that whence it proceeds the River which flows from the Fountain hath another name for we do not call the River the Fountain nor the Fountain the River yet both do exist and the Fountain is as a Father but the River is Water flowing from the Fountain Greg. Thaumaturgus Bishop of Neocesaria hath left us this Confession of his Faith recorded by Eusebius Eccl. Hist l. 7. c. 28. There is one God the Father of the Living Word the Subsisting Wisdom the Eternal Power and Character the perfect Father of him that is perfect the Father of the only Begotten There is one Lord alone from him that is alone God of God the Character and Image of the Deity the efficacious Word the Wisdom comprehending the constitution of all things and the effective Power of all things the true Son of the true Father invisible of him that is invisible incorruptible from him that is incorruptible immortal and eternal And there is one Holy Spirit that hath its existence of God who by the Son hath appeared unto Men the perfect Image of the perfect Son the Life and Cause of the Living the Holy Fountain Sanctity and Giver of Sanctification in whom God the Father is manifest who is above all and in all and God the Son which is in all The perfect Trinity which is not divided nor separated in Glory Eternity Kingdom and Power so that there is nothing in the Trinity that is created or servile nothing added or superinducted which was not before The Son was never wanting to the Father nor the Spirit to the Son but the Trinity alway remained the same immutable and invariable In the Life-time of this Greg. Thaumaturgus a Synod of Bishops met at Antioch to Censure the Heresie of Paulus Samosatenus who denied the Deity of Christ These Bishops denounced an Anathema against him having first admonished him of his Heresie and in that Epistle they say That they declare the Faith which they received from the beginning and alway held in the Catholick Church from the Apostles to that day even from those that had seen with their eyes and were made Ministers of the Word and which was preached in the Law and Prophets and in the New Testament And the Faith concerning Christ they say is this That he is the Word the Wisdom and Power of God that was before all Ages God the Son of God in substance and subsistance Pierius a Presbyter of Alexandria was of the same Opinion as Photius relates Cod. 119. That the Father and the Son were of one Substance and Equality St. Lucian a Presbyter of Antioch published the same Faith which is to be seen in Socrates l. 2. c. 10. We believe in one God the Father Almighty Maker of all things and in one Lord Jesus Christ his only begotten Son by whom all things were made begotten of the Father before all Ages God of God Whole of Whole Sole of Sole Perfect of Perfect King of King Lord of Lord the Living Word Wisdom Life the true Light Way and Truth the Resurrection Pastor and Gate not obnoxious to Change or Alteration every way the express Image of the Father's Deity Substance Power Counsel and Glory the first Begotten of every Creature who was with God in the beginning God the Word as is said in the Scripture who in the last times came down from Heaven and was born of a Virgin according to the Scripture and in the Holy Ghost which is given to Believers to comfort sanctifie and consummate them as our Lord Christ commanded his Disciples go teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost who are three in Person but agree in One. Arnobius gives the like Testimony That Christ without any Instrument Help or Rule but by the power of his own Nature made all things and as it was worthy of God nothing that was hurtful but all beneficial and this is the property of the true God to deny his bounty to none Lastly Lactantius whom the Arians claim to be of their Opinion says thus When we say God the Father and God the Son we do not speak of what is diverse or separated because neither the Father can be so called without the Son nor the Son be begotten without the Father seeing therefore the Father makes the Son and the Son makes him a Father there is in both one Mind one Spirit and
