not_o in_o his_o power_n &_o virtue_n only_o but_o in_o his_o whole_a essence_n fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o world_n 8_o but_o although_o he_o be_v in_o every_o place_n present_a yet_o he_o be_v more_o say_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n then_o in_o earth_n and_o more_o in_o his_o child_n then_o in_o wicked_a man_n and_o more_o in_o one_o godly_a man_n then_o in_o another_o but_o this_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o essence_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o work_n and_o of_o his_o grace_n 9_o wherefore_o when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n how_o god_n do_v either_o

either_o show_v they_o or_o withdraw_v they_o 10_o yet_o he_o be_v in_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o far_a other_o manner_n then_o in_o we_o namely_o not_o only_o in_o a_o more_o

not_o to_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n 12_o for_o like_a as_o it_o can_v be_v that_o any_o creature_n can_v be_v make_v god_n in_o essence_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v that_o that_o which_o be_v not_o god_n shall_v in_o it_o own_o essence_n exist_v every_o where_n since_o it_o can_v neither_o be_v infinite_a nor_o immeasurable_a 13_o wherefore_o like_v as_o by_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v show_v to_o be_v every_o wherein_o his_o own_o essence_n he_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v true_a god_n so_o if_o any_o will_v prove_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o exist_v every_o where_n in_o it_o own_o essence_n they_o must_v either_o deny_v that_o christ_n deity_n be_v prove_v by_o that_o argument_n or_o else_o they_o must_v needs_o frame_v a_o new_a god_n and_o that_o a_o

heaven_n as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v exist_v in_o all_o the_o pat_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o the_o very_a same_o sort_n that_o it_o be_v in_o his_o own_o sphere_n 15_o yet_o hereupon_o follow_v it_o not_o as_o some_o do_v impudent_o cavil_v that_o the_o eternal_a and_o true_a deity_n of_o christ_n be_v deny_v but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v rather_o prove_v since_o the_o word_n of_o the_o deity_n be_v defend_v to_o be_v of_o that_o sort_n as_o it_o can_v be_v impart_v to_o no_o create_a thing_n so_o as_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v god_n in_o essence_n or_o equal_a to_o god_n in_o any_o divine_a propriety_n 16_o for_o god_n can_v not_o be_v the_o word_n if_o of_o what_o sort_n he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o sort_n any_o creature_n may_v be_v make_v no_o though_o it_o

the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v aswell_o almighty_a and_o every_o where_o as_o be_v his_o deity_n they_o do_v not_o only_o open_v a_o wide_a gate_n to_o the_o arrian_n but_o even_o take_v away_o the_o true_a deity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 18_o for_o he_o be_v not_o indeed_o true_a god_n who_o essence_n and_o nature_n can_v be_v so_o real_o pour_v into_o any_o thing_n create_v

no_o true_a deity_n &_o therefore_o the_o word_n which_o be_v horrible_a blasphemy_n shall_v not_o be_v true_a god_n 22_o add_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o most_o absurd_o but_o also_o most_o impious_o say_v that_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v pour_v into_o the_o human_a 23_o for_o neither_o do_v we_o ever_o read_v that_o the_o word_n or_o any_o propriety_n thereof_o

wherefore_o as_o the_o conversation_n of_o the_o same_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherein_o he_o converse_v among_o his_o apostle_n after_o his_o resurrection_n for_o forty_o day_n space_n be_v not_o

27_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n we_o deny_v not_o this_o but_o that_o christ_n as_o god_n like_a as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v descend_v from_o heaven_n in_o respect_n that_o he_o abase_v himself_o
