Wherein, is most accurately and divinely handled, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ; proving him to be God and man, coequall and coeternall with the Father: to the confutation of severall heresies both ancient and modern. By that eminently learned and reverend divine, John Arrowsmith, D.D. late Master of Trinity-Colledge in Cambridge, and Professor of Divinity there.

even_o as_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n matth._n 18._o 20._o christ_n say_v there_o i_o say_v to_o you_o that_o in_o heaven_n their_o

no_o not_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n reason_n have_v but_o three_o way_n by_o which_o it_o causality_n 2._o the_o eye_n of_o our_o reason_n can_v behold_v he_o in_o his_o essence_n reason_n know_v god_n three_o way_n 1._o by_o way_n of_o causality_n come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o those_o be_v know_v to_o scholar_n by_o these_o name_n via_fw-la causalitatis_fw-la via_fw-la remotionis_fw-la and_o via_fw-la eminentiae_fw-la first_o by_o way_n of_o causality_n and_o so_o reason_n come_v to_o gather_v of_o god_n by_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o it_o see_v lovely_a and_o look_v at_o all_o these_o as_o effect_n of_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n thus_o reason_n collect_v of_o god_n but_o how_o far_o be_v this_o from_o see_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n reason_n discover_v a_o god_n but_o not_o what_o god_n be_v in_o his_o be_v only_o that_o he_o be_v for_o no_o effect_n can_v show_v the_o nature_n of_o its_o cause_n full_o but_o either_o such_o as_o manife_v the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o cause_n or_o else_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o the_o cause_n as_o burn_v that_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o fire_n because_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o natural_a agent_n burn_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o its_o power_n therefore_o burn_v show_v what_o nature_n the_o fire_n be_v of_o as_o carrying_z the_o nature_n of_o the_o force_n in_o it_o as_o a_o child_n show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n because_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o father_n but_o the_o creature_n can_v show_v god_n because_o they_o be_v of_o effect_n different_a from_o he_o these_o be_v part_n of_o the_o way_n but_o how_o little_a proportion_n be_v readd_a of_o he_o the_o thunder_n of_o his_o power_n who_o can_v understand_v neither_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o the_o same_o rank_n and_o kind_a with_o god_n as_o the_o child_n be_v with_o the_o father_n they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o finite_a god_n be_v infinite_a so_o that_o all_o that_o reason_n can_v do_v this_o way_n be_v to_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o not_o what_o he_o be_v second_o there_o be_v the_o way_n of_o remotion_n by_o look_v over_o remotion_n 2._o by_o way_n of_o remotion_n all_o the_o creature_n and_o by_o set_v aside_o whatsoever_o savour_v of_o imperfection_n in_o they_o and_o ascribe_v the_o remainder_n to_o god_n thus_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v immortal_a impassable_a impeccable_a because_o we_o say_v that_o to_o die_v to_o suffer_v and_o to_o sin_n be_v the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o creature_n god_n can_v sin_v god_n can_v die_v god_n can_v lie_v god_n can_v suffer_v but_o this_o still_o come_v short_a of_o see_v god_n in_o his_o essence_n for_o by_o this_o we_o see_v what_o god_n be_v not_o not_o what_o he_o be_v by_o this_o way_n of_o remotion_n 3._o the_o three_o way_n which_o be_v a_o way_n of_o eminency_n reason_n eminency_n 3._o by_o way_n of_o eminency_n go_v over_o the_o creature_n once_o again_o and_o look_n whatsoever_o be_v good_a in_o they_o and_o savour_v of_o perfection_n in_o they_o and_o ascribe_v that_o to_o god_n as_o the_o author_n of_o those_o perfection_n so_o when_o it_o see_v in_o man_n wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o goodness_n reason_n can_v ascribe_v to_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o a_o more_o eminent_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o this_o be_v the_o near_a and_o the_o far_a reason_n can_v go_v and_o yet_o in_o all_o these_o it_o come_v short_a of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n because_o in_o this_o way_n it_o find_v out_o what_o he_o be_v rather_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o quality_n speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n than_o what_o he_o be_v in_o his_o essence_n thus_o we_o can_v see_v god_n in_o his_o essence_n no_o not_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n there_o be_v only_o one_o more_o that_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n which_o essence_n ●_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n can_v apprehend_v god_n in_o his_o

we_o may_v not_o sit_v in_o darkness_n but_o wait_v for_o he_o as_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o the_o morning_n man_n that_o have_v most_o business_n to_o do_v and_o can_v do_v it_o without_o light_n how_o do_v they_o watch_v for_o the_o morning_n ho_o the_o morning_n ho_o they_o cry_v out_o phosphore_n red_a diem_fw-la jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o morning_n star_n and_o yet_o give_v himself_o therefore_o wait_v upon_o he_o for_o he_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o rev._n 22._o 16._o he_o call_v himself_o the_o morningstar_n i_o jesus_n have_v send_v my_o angel_n to_o testify_v these_o

some_o difficulty_n be_v in_o this_o clause_n therefore_o for_o the_o full_a explication_n of_o it_o there_o be_v two_o conclusion_n to_o be_v clear_v and_o two_o query_n to_o be_v resolve_v first_o two_o conclusion_n to_o be_v clear_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o any_o man_n receive_v he_o conclus_fw-la 1_o have_v it_o from_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v christ_n whatsoever_o man_n receive_v it_o be_v from_o christ_n every_o man_n indeed_o in_o this_o sense_n many_o take_v it_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v such_o a_o schoolmaster_n he_o teach_v every_o boy_n in_o the_o town_n this_o be_v true_a though_o every_o boy_n in_o the_o town_n do_v not_o go_v to_o school_v the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v teach_v be_v teach_v by_o such_o a_o master_n and_o so_o though_o every_o man_n and_o every_o mother_n son_n shall_v not_o be_v enlighten_v yet_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n because_o every_o man_n that_o be_v enlighten_v have_v his_o light_n from_o he_o there_o be_v truth_n in_o that_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o the_o truth_n thus_o far_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o whatsoever_o light_n any_o man_n have_v he_o have_v it_o from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n the_o sun_n that_o be_v the_o wellhead_n of_o light_n whatsoever_o light_n be_v in_o the_o moon_n or_o star_n or_o inferior_a orb_n it_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o sun_n so_o all_o light_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v derive_v from_o christ_n conclus_fw-la 2_o the_o second_o conclusion_n be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n and_o christ_n every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v enlighten_v by_o christ_n woman_n that_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n be_v enlighten_v by_o christ_n some_o way_n or_o other_o not_o only_o every_o one_o that_o have_v light_n have_v light_a from_o he_o but_o every_o one_o have_v some_o light_n from_o he_o i_o say_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v some_o way_n or_o other_o

man_n can_v be_v restrain_v because_o bear_v into_o the_o world_n be_v too_o large_a a_o expression_n every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o wrrld_n you_o may_v say_v what_o mean_v come_v into_o

generation_n into_o this_o world_n be_v bear_v into_o it_o come_v we_o now_o to_o resolve_v two_o query_n of_o more_o importance_n first_o whether_o the_o same_o measure_n of_o light_n be_v
