A35959	Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.

But they speak here consequentially to their own Tenets who in effect deny the Trinity and all distinction between the Father Son and holy Ghost not only in words but in very deed The Apostle in this place is proving Christ the Son of GOD to be Lord and Heir of all things because GOD created the Worlds by him He is the brightness of his glory the express Image of his person upholdeth all things by the Word of his power These Titles are here given to the Son of GOD as a Creator and a Preserver of all things which belong to him only according to his Divine Nature therefore these Titles must be understood of Christ forasmuch as he is the eternal Son of GOD and a Light from the Eternal Light of one Essence and Glory with the Father nevertheless distinguished from the Person of the Father by whom the Father executes his Operations and shews his Properties even as the Sun by its light doth shine Quest.

Well then do not the Macedonians or Pneumatomachians Arians Socinians and many of the Anabaptists err who maintain the Holy Ghost to be a Creature as do the Macedonians or a Power Vertue or Efficacy of the Father as many Socinians and others do Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1.
