or_o power_n be_v creature_n and_o be_v by_o god_n create_v who_o be_v before_o they_o all_o and_o by_o he_o they_o all_o consist_v this_o be_v a_o very_a fair_a concession_n that_o of_o whosoever_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v he_o must_v be_v god_n 2._o but_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o very_a book_n they_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v 14._o that_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o mean_v by_o these_o word_n be_v not_o this_o interpret_n like_o wise_a man_n indeed_o and_o they_o tell_v we_o they_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o man_n shall_v attribute_v the_o old_a or_o first_o creation_n to_o christ._n wise_a man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o wonder_v at_o plain_a thing_n for_o what_o be_v the_o old_a or_o first_o creation_n but_o the_o make_v the_o world_n and_o create_v all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o these_o thing_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o word_n to_o the_o son_n to_o christ._n but_o say_v they_o the_o scripture_n do_v never_o say_v in_o

and_o earth_n imply_v that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v create_v by_o he_o but_o they_o have_v a_o notable_a observation_n from_o the_o language_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n viz_o that_o christ_n be_v never_o say_v to_o have_v create_v the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o that_o therein_o be_v but_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o create_v all_o thing_n take_v in_o ●he_n sea_n too_o and_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n language_n heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o world_n and_o i_o hope_v the_o world_n take_v in_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o

and_o invisible_a then_o however_o the_o make_n of_o these_o be_v attribute_v to_o christ._n and_o if_o he_o make_v all_o power_n visible_a and_o invisible_a he_o must_v be_v god_n not_o so_o neither_o what_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n by_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n create_v that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n visible_a and_o invisible_a whether_o they_o be_v throne_n or_o dominion_n or_o principality_n or_o power_n all_o thing_n be_v create_v by_o he_o and_o for_o he_o sure_o then_o these_o dominion_n and_o power_n be_v create_v by_o he_o no_o say_v

one_o while_o these_o word_n be_v very_o strong_a and_o good_a proof_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n against_o atheist_n and_o epicurean_o and_o by_o and_o by_o they_o prove_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o but_o only_o a_o new_a model_n of_o some_o thing_n call_v dominion_n and_o power_n do_v they_o hope_v ever_o to_o convince_v man_n at_o this_o rate_n of_o wise_a interpret_n well_o but_o what_o be_v this_o create_v or_o dispose_v thing_n into_o a_o new_a order_n and_o who_o be_v these_o dominion_n and_o power_n they_o answer_n man_n and_o angel_n how_o be_v the_o angel_n

by_o which_o god_n create_v original_a matter_n and_o make_v the_o world_n but_o as_o the_o christ_n or_o the_o word_n descend_v on_o jesus_n at_o his_o baptism_n so_o it_o leave_v he_o at_o his_o

hold_v but_o be_v make_v flesh_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o so_o s._n john_n clear_o assert_v the_o divinity_n and_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o the_o dispute_v afterward_o with_o paulus_n samosatenus_fw-la and_o photinus_n it_o appear_v that_o they_o understand_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d not_o for_o any_o mere_a man_n but_o for_o some_o divine_a

confess_v that_o socinus_n his_o sense_n be_v whole_o new_a and_o unheard_a of_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n 93._o not_o only_o among_o the_o father_n but_o the_o heretic_n as_o i_o have_v before_o
