its_o species_n only_o that_o be_v the_o faithful_a reject_v therefore_o these_o man_n gloss_n as_o impertinent_a and_o contrary_a both_o to_o the_o apostle_n scope_n and_o stile_n we_o say_v that_o by_o every_o creature_n he_o mean_v what_o the_o scripture_n and_o all_o the_o language_n of_o man_n do_v ordinary_o signify_v by_o these_o word_n namely_o create_v thing_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o

of_o god_n be_v a_o creature_n since_o he_o be_v call_v the_o first-born_a of_o they_o allege_v that_o the_o first-born_a be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o his_o brethren_n and_o add_v to_o

in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o way_n before_o he_o make_v any_o of_o his_o work_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o as_o they_o affirm_v but_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v here_o that_o the_o son_n be_v the_o first-born_a of_o every_o creature_n and_o they_o adjoyn_v also_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 3.2_o heb._n 3.2_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v faithful_a to_o he_o who_o make_v he_o that_o be_v as_o they_o pretend_v to_o god_n who_o create_v he_o but_o god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v rank_v he_o with_o creature_n to_o who_o the_o scripture_n ascribe_v the_o glory_n of_o have_v create_v they_o all_o and_o unto_o who_o it_o command_v we_o to_o give_v that_o supreme_a adoration_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o not_o to_o any_o creature_n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o very_a place_n which_o they_o abuse_v put_v a_o most_o evident_a distinction_n between_o the_o son_n and_o other_o thing_n for_o whereas_o he_o call_v they_o creature_n he_o say_v of_o the_o son_n that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o first-created_n as_o shall_v have_v be_v say_v if_o he_o be_v of_o their_o order_n but_o the_o first-born_a a_o evident_a sign_n that_o he_o

urge_v another_o exposition_n of_o it_o the_o original_a text_n import_v that_o god_n possess_v wisdom_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o way_n as_o our_o bible_n have_v well_o render_v it_o and_o not_o that_o he_o create_v it_o as_o the_o greek_a interpreter_n have_v unright_o take_v it_o and_o whereas_o st._n paul_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n that_o god_n do_v make_v christ_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o create_v he_o a_o conceit_n which_o will_v be_v quite_o beside_o his_o purpose_n but_o that_o he_o ordain_v and_o set_v he_o up_o high_a priest_n in_o his_o church_n 12.6_o 1_o sam._n 12.6_o even_o as_o when_o samuel_n say_v that_o god_n make_v moses_n and_o aaron_n he_o signify_v that_o he_o establish_v they_o in_o the_o charge_n they_o bear_v among_o his_o
