be_v out_o of_o the_o apocryphal_a book_n of_o wisdom_n wisd_v 18.15,16_o thy_o almighty_a word_n leap_v down_o from_o heaven_n out_o of_o his_o royal_a throne_n as_o a_o fierce_a man_n of_o war_n

a_o jew_n believe_v the_o word_n right_o but_o then_o he_o shall_v have_v observe_v too_o that_o the_o book_n as_o we_o now_o have_v it_o must_v be_v as_o much_o reckon_v to_o the_o translator_n who_o be_v a_o christian_a as_o to_o the_o first_o writer_n of_o it_o who_o it_o may_v be_v be_v a_o jew_n let_v we_o hear_v grotius_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o his_o annotation_n on_o this_o book_n the_o

the_o word_n which_o be_v whole_o christian_a as_o christianity_n begin_v to_o be_v teach_v about_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o second_o age_n the_o jew_n as_o we_o have_v hear_v from_o origen_n never_o believe_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o word_n namely_o that_o be_v a_o person_n the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o god_n his_o next_o allegation_n be_v from_o the_o paraphrase_n of_o onkelos_n and_o jonathan_n

paraphrase_n speak_v of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o platonic_a sense_n namely_o as_o a_o person_n or_o as_o a_o god_n but_o only_o in_o the_o jewish_a and_o socinian_n sense_n namely_o as_o the_o energy_n and_o power_n of_o god_n or_o god_n powerful_a effectual_a mandate_n as_o to_o his_o last_o quotation_n from_o a_o paraphrase_n of_o jonathan_n on_o the_o psalm_n which_o have_v some_o

scripture_n not_o as_o they_o live_v or_o be_v in_o the_o apostolic_a time_n but_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o second_o and_o begin_v of_o the_o three_o age._n last_o as_o to_o the_o obscure_a rabbi_n cite_v by_o masius_n and_o the_o unknown_a book_n tankumam_n enough_o have_v be_v say_v to_o evince_v that_o if_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o word_n as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v write_v perhaps_o in_o rabbinical_a hebrew_n and_o by_o jew_n by_o nation_n but_o such_o jew_n as_o be_v come_v over_o to_o the_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o certain_a than_o that_o the_o jew_n never_o own_v a_o son_n of_o god_n in_o any_o other_o sense_n but_o of_o adoption_n sanctification_n exaltation_n and_o such_o like_a nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o dr._n bull_n

such_o a_o notorious_a mistake_n as_o this_o that_o the_o jew_n either_o now_o or_o in_o any_o time_n past_a believe_v the_o word_n as_o a_o person_n or_o that_o god_n beget_v a_o son_n who_o be_v pre-existent_a to_o the_o world_n and_o be_v together_o with_o god_n the_o creator_n of_o it_o it_o be_v for_o this_o very_a doctrine_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v pretend_v ever_o since_o the_o

bull_n be_v defence_n of_o the_o nicene_n faith_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o consider_v in_o this_o first_o part_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o he_o his_o explication_n of_o the_o trinity_n or_o how_o
