his_o humane_a that_o text_n god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n do_v seem_v so_o to_o do_v but_o i_o will_v despair_v of_o understanding_n much_o of_o scripture_n if_o several_a of_o the_o forecited_a text_n do_v not_o much_o more_o than_o seem_v to_o do_v it_o but_o i_o have_v slip_v one_o passage_n which_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o take_v some_o notice_n of_o viz._n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v commit_v to_o christ._n and_o he_o answer_v tes_fw-gr to_o fit_v he_o to_o be_v the_o great_a minister_n by_o who_o god_n will_v judge_v the_o world_n i_o will_v interrupt_v he_o but_o while_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o wonder_v it_o shall_v not_o seem_v to_o he_o and_o every_o man_n not_o only_o strange_a but_o impossible_a that_o a_o mere_a man_n though_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n conceive_v shall_v be_v a_o subject_a capable_a of_o receive_v all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o of_o judge_v the_o world_n both_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o he_o thus_o proceed_v but_o when_o that_o great_a day_n shall_v be_v over_o that_o power_n that_o fullness_n of_o power_n shall_v be_v give_v up_o to_o the_o great_a god_n again_o and_o i_o answer_v to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v a_o power_n or_o authority_n be_v long_o retain_v than_o while_o there_o be_v any_o occasion_n for_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o the_o authority_n relate_v to_o christ_n mediatory_a kingdom_n must_v cease_v with_o the_o cease_v of_o that_o kingdom_n itself_o i_o do_v not_o cite_v that_o text_n among_o those_o i_o instance_a in_o to_o prove_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o industrious_o decline_v it_o upon_o consider_v that_o christ_n speak_v in_o those_o word_n of_o a_o power_n commit_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o not_o essential_o in_o he_o and_o that_o by_o power_n here_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v authority_n and_o a_o new_a authority_n relate_v to_o a_o new_a kingdom_n and_o now_o what_o have_v he_o to_o say_v to_o my_o 12_o proposition_n prop._n 12._o it_o be_v intolerable_a presumption_n to_o conclude_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o way_n beside_o that_o of_o creation_n whereby_o any_o

of_o necessary_a emanation_n since_o there_o be_v a_o resemblance_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n in_o nature_n viz_o the_o issue_v forth_o of_o ray_n from_o the_o sun_n and_o now_o see_v a_o rare_a and_o as_o charitable_a a_o remark_n upon_o the_o first_o word_n it_o be_v intolerable_a presumption_n there_o be_v say_v he_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o church_n in_o it_o well_o what_o mean_v he_o by_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o church_n it_o follow_v the_o spirit_n of_o degrade_n and_o scourge_v the_o spirit_n of_o jayl_v a_o man_n and_o ruine_v his_o business_n the_o spirit_n of_o

merciful_a interpretation_n i_o be_v very_o unlucky_a in_o light_v upon_o this_o epithet_n if_o it_o can_v for_o time_n have_v be_v when_o i_o can_v have_v be_v a_o persecutor_n but_o will_v not_o and_o that_o be_v more_o than_o the_o socinian_o can_v say_v nor_o have_v i_o since_o ever_o change_v my_o mind_n but_o i_o be_o old_a enough_o to_o be_v assure_v from_o my_o own_o observation_n

of_o persecution_n as_o he_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v he_o be_v himself_o a_o persecutor_n and_o a_o pretty_a fierce_a one_o too_o there_o be_v more_o way_n of_o persecute_v than_o one_o and_o a_o man_n may_v persecute_v with_o his_o tongue_n and_o pen_n and_o whosoever_o can_v do_v so_o with_o either_o of_o these_o i_o will_v be_v bind_v for_o he_o that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o with_o

he_o employ_v it_o now_o against_o i_o for_o i_o mean_v no_o more_o by_o intolerable_a than_o a_o most_o high_a presumption_n nor_o do_v you_o sir_n i_o dare_v say_v understand_v it_o otherwise_o i_o will_v not_o descant_v upon_o his_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o show_v his_o spirit_n sufficient_o but_o sir_n i_o thank_v your_o friend_n for_o the_o charity_n he_o next_o express_v towards_o his_o persecutor_n let_v we_o try_v say_v he_o whether_o we_o can_v restore_v he_o to_o himself_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n but_o if_o i_o be_o restore_v to_o

more_o heat_n in_o my_o proposition_n or_o his_o animadversion_n but_o how_o will_v he_o allay_v the_o fury_n i_o have_v express_v in_o those_o word_n or_o rather_o in_o that_o one_o word_n he_o attempt_v it_o by_o say_v that_o the_o socinian_o know_v of_o no_o otherway_v but_o that_o of_o creation_n whereby_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v immediate_o and_o only_o from_o god_n but_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v intolerable_a presumption_n not_o to_o know_v any_o other_o way_n but_o to_o conclude_v there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o and_o i_o still_o say_v it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a

necessary_a emanation_n he_o say_v it_o be_v the_o supposal_n of_o a_o thing_n where_o of_o we_o have_v no_o idea_n well_o suppose_v this_o be_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v of_o which_o we_o sorry_a mortal_n have_v no_o idea_n be_v god_n almighty_a bind_v to_o give_v we_o idea_n of_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n how_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v produce_v by_o he_o or_o how_o what_o we_o know_v do_v exist_v be_v produce_v or_o to_o give_v we_o idea_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o can_v produce_v or_o of_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v produce_v sure_o your_o friend_n will_v not_o dare_v to_o answer_v yes_o to_o the_o two_o latter_a of_o these_o question_n and_o much_o less_o then_o to_o the_o two_o former_a and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o so_o dare_v with_o what_o face_n can_v he_o object_v against_o the_o possibility_n of_o a_o necessary_a emanation_n from_o god_n because_o we_o have_v no_o idea_n thereof_o but_o i_o tell_v he_o we_o have_v every_o whit_n as_o much_o a_o idea_n of_o necessary_a emanation_n as_o of_o voluntary_a creation_n understand_v thereby_o the_o make_n of_o something_o out_o of_o nothing_o which_o aristotle_n and_o his_o

the_o eternity_n and_o self_n existence_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o platonist_n think_v the_o idea_n of_o necessary_a emanation_n at_o least_o as_o clear_a as_o that_o of_o creation_n and_o the_o young_a platonist_n for_o the_o most_o part_n hold_v humane_a soul_n to_o be_v by_o such_o a_o emanation_n from_o the_o deity_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v eternal_a though_o not_o self-existent_a but_o he_o say_v that_o something_o shall_v come_v from_o god_n which_o want_v some_o perfection_n that_o god_n have_v be_v at_o his_o that_o be_v my_o prodigious_a supposition_n under_o the_o name_n of_o necessary_a emanation_n and_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v a_o prodigious_a supposition_n indeed_o that_o any_o thing_n shall_v come_v from_o god_n that_o have_v the_o

this_o be_v as_o much_o need_v to_o be_v prove_v as_o that_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v his_o only_a answer_n be_v like_a to_o be_v you_o must_v take_v this_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n for_o he_o only_o go_v about_o to_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o passage_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 5._o p._n 13._o but_o i_o not_o have_v that_o sermon_n by_o i_o and_o he_o make_v no_o mark_n to_o distinguish_v between_o what_o be_v his_o grace_n and_o what_o be_v his_o own_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v he_o that_o for_o a_o answer_n his_o second_o argument_n whereby_o he_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v the_o forementioned_a self-evident_a proposition_n be_v that_o self-existence_n be_v indivisible_a and_o god_n self-existence_n be_v necessary_a and_o therefore_o if_o he_o shall_v communicate_v his_o self-existence_n to_o another_o he_o himself_o shall_v remain_v not_o self-existent_a which_o be_v a_o gross_a absurdity_n and_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n o_o wonderful_a be_v it_o so_o indeed_o i_o marvel_v who_o tell_v he_o so_o it_o may_v be_v he_o take_v this_o too_o on_o the_o authority_n of_o some_o great_a man_n since_o he_o trouble_v not_o himself_o to_o make_v it_o out_o but_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o necessity_n of_o prove_v this_o also_o as_o of_o prove_v that_o of_o which_o it_o be_v a_o proof_n and_o he_o make_v this_o brave_a argument_n to_o prove_v too_o that_o infinite_a power_n be_v as_o incommunicable_a as_o self-existence_n and_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n because_o these_o be_v also_o indivisible_a but_o the_o trinitarian_n be_v not_o so_o knock_v down_o by_o this_o unmerciful_a argument_n to_o use_v a_o phrase_n of_o his_o own_o but_o that_o he_o may_v soon_o rise_v again_o nay_o as_o goodluck_n will_v have_v it_o it_o be_v so_o weak_a a_o blow_n that_o he_o have_v not_o feel_v it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v weak_a than_o a_o puff_n of_o breath_n by_o that_o time_n i_o have_v ask_v he_o this_o one_o question_n viz._n be_v not_o also_o the_o individual_a nature_n of_o every_o live_a creature_n indivisible_a but_o as_o be_v before_o say_v even_o the_o low_a sort_n of_o they_o can_v propagate_v their_o own_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o communicate_v it_o and_o therefore_o methinks_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o he_o who_o give_v be_v to_o those_o creature_n can_v do_v the_o like_a or_o if_o you_o please_v thus_o it_o be_v therefore_o no_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o god_n the_o

of_o this_o animadversion_n i_o will_v not_o spend_v one_o minute_n so_o vain_o as_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o for_o half_a a_o eye_n must_v see_v it_o to_o be_v nothing_o better_o than_o to_o give_v it_o his_o own_o word_n mere_a jargon_n prop._n 11._o it_o seem_v evident_a from_o the_o h._n scripture_n that_o the_o son_n and_o h._n spirit_n have_v all_o divine_a perfection_n but_o those_o two_o such_o as_o unlimited_a power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o unspotted_a purity_n as_o to_o unspotted_a purity_n he_o grant_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v plain_o assert_v it_o of_o our_o

one_o will_v think_v to_o be_v the_o purity_n of_o a_o god_n since_o we_o be_v so_o assure_v from_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o that_o purity_n and_o holiness_n which_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o men._n and_o he_o must_v have_v a_o large_a stock_n of_o confidence_n who_o dare_v say_v that_o the_o purity_n which_o excel_v not_o that_o of_o a_o man_n or_o
