son_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n understand_v these_o two_o designation_n to_o be_v so_o inseparable_a that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o controversy_n at_o first_o with_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o

sense_n seem_v to_o infer_v that_o either_o he_o be_v true_o god_n by_o such_o a_o real_a union_n with_o the_o eternal_a word_n who_o be_v god_n as_o make_v both_o nature_n one_o person_n in_o he_o the_o near_a resemblance_n to_o which_o be_v the_o union_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n out_o of_o which_o very_o different_a nature_n arise_v one_o man_n or_o one_o person_n or_o if_o this_o be_v not_o true_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n one_o of_o who_o main_a end_n be_v to_o banish_v idolatry_n out_o of_o the_o world_n do_v real_o only_o change_v the_o object_n of_o this_o idolatry_n and_o draw_v man_n from_o worship_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o several_a nation_n to_o worship_v one_o who_o according_a to_o those_o man_n doctrine_n be_v only_o a_o creature_n and_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o honour_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o eternal_a god_n which_o be_v indeed_o a_o strain_n in_o idolatry_n beyond_o that_o of_o most_o heathen_a

in_o make_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o so_o dignify_v with_o divine_a honour_n these_o be_v the_o arian_n of_o old_a who_o under_o many_o high_a word_n seem_v to_o have_v mean_v no_o more_o
