paul_n where_o he_o say_v that_o be_v or_o according_a to_o the_o force_n of_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d subsist_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n whence_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o before_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n he_o have_v a_o subsistence_n it_o be_v not_o unworthy_a our_o observation_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v incarnate_a be_v say_v to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o to_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n whereby_o be_v manifest_o employ_v that_o before_o his_o incarnation_n he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n 4._o thus_o when_o we_o read_v the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n and_o god_n send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o son_n before_o else_o how_o can_v he_o be_v capable_a of_o assume_v flesh_n and_o be_v send_v into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o clear_a maxim_n nothing_o can_v be_v predicate_v of_o nothing_o so_o that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o at_o all_o till_o he_o be_v make_v flesh_n and_o send_v it_o can_v not_o be_v predicate_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v make_v flesh_n or_o that_o he_o be_v send_v by_o the_o father_n 2._o but_o further_a that_o be_v which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v before_o his_o incarnation_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

the_o sense_n be_v that_o when_o the_o world_n begin_v to_o be_v christ_n be_v and_o so_o consequent_o from_o eternity_n because_o before_o all_o time_n express_v to_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o

and_o socinian_n heretic_n interpret_v this_o only_a of_o god_n eternal_a purpose_n to_o glorify_v his_o son_n after_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o work_n upon_o earth_n and_o true_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o note_n how_o absurd_o these_o pretend_a master_n of_o reason_n construe_v as_o other_o so_o this_o scripture_n while_o they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o when_o christ_n positive_o say_v he_o have_v this_o glory_n with_o his_o father_n before_o the_o world_n be_v he_o only_o mean_v by_o it_o that_o his_o father_n decree_v before_o the_o world_n be_v he_o shall_v have_v this_o

say_v if_o he_o have_v mean_v no_o more_o the_o glory_n which_o thou_o have_v prepare_v for_o i_o before_o the_o world_n be_v yea_o whenas_o both_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n where_o they_o will_v express_v the_o decree_n of_o glory_n still_o use_v the_o phrase_n of_o prepare_v and_o lay_v up_o and_o such_o 34._o like_a no_o less_o do_v it_o tend_v to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o the_o evangelist_n say_v concern_v christ_n all_o thing_n 5._o be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o without_o he_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n make_v that_o be_v make_v and_o therefore_o st_n paul_n have_v assert_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v create_v by_o he_o and_o for_o he_o present_o add_v and_o he_o be_v before_o all_o thing_n indeed_o as_o tertullian_n strong_o argue_v non_fw-la potuit_fw-la c●rere_fw-fr substantiâ_fw-la prax_fw-la quod_fw-la tantas_fw-la substantias_fw-la ferret_n he_o that_o give_v be_v to_o all_o thing_n can_v not_o himself_o want_v a_o be_v and_o if_o all_o creature_n receive_v their_o essence_n and_o existence_n from_o he_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v before_o they_o it_o will_v not_o be_v pass_v by_o to_o what_o a_o shift_n the_o forename_a heretic_n be_v put_v to_o for_o evade_n the_o force_n of_o these_o text_n while_o they_o will_v expound_v the_o make_n and_o create_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o make_n of_o new_a man_n and_o the_o create_v of_o a_o christian_a church_n for_o beside_o that_o the_o apostle_n manifest_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o person_n to_o who_o the_o new_a creation_n belong_v but_o thing_n yea_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n join_v a_o negative_a to_o the_o affirmative_a without_o he_o nothing_o and_o st_n paul_n make_v a_o distribution_n of_o the_o all_o into_o thing_n visible_a and_o

of_o this_o make_n and_o creation_n as_o a_o thing_n already_o past_a yea_o as_o the_o context_n in_o the_o gospel_n show_v do_v in_o the_o beginning_n which_o compare_v with_o moses_n his_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n appear_v to_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n whereas_o the_o new_a creation_n be_v then_o nay_o be_v still_o but_o in_o fieri_fw-la not_o in_o facto_fw-la nor_o shall_v be_v finish_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o end_v this_o let_v the_o meditation_n hereof_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o saviour_n deity_n which_o must_v necessary_o follow_v upon_o the_o precede_a doctrine_n for_o if_o christ_n be_v so_o from_o as_o that_o he_o be_v before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o be_v eternal_a he_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o true_a jehovah_n the_o most_o high_a god_n eternity_n be_v one_o of_o those_o incommunicable_a attribute_n of_o the_o deity_n which_o can_v in_o its_o proper_a and_o adequate_a notion_n be_v predicate_v of_o any_o thing_n beside_o or_o below_o the_o godhead_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o character_n which_o be_v here_o give_v of_o christ_n pass_v we_o on_o to_o the_o 2._o character_n by_o which_o the_o age_a christian_n to_o who_o our_o apostle_n write_v be_v describe_v and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o know_v he_o which_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n what_o it_o be_v to_o know_v christ_n i_o have_v occasion_n heretofore_o to_o discuss_v and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o it_o only_o be_v please_v in_o brief_a to_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a knowledge_n of_o he_o who_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n comprehensive_a intuitive_a and_o apprehensive_a 1._o the_o comprehensive_a knowledge_n be_v that_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o himself_o he_o who_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n can_v only_o know_v himself_o from_o the_o begin_n indeed_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o finite_a creature_n to_o comprehend_v the_o infinite_a eternity_n of_o christ_n himself_n as_o man_n can_v not_o comprehensive_o know_v himself_o as_o god_n 2._o the_o intuitive_a

that_o which_o then_o be_v here_o mean_v be_v a_o apprehensive_a knowledge_n whereby_o it_o be_v we_o be_v enlighten_v to_o discern_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n together_o with_o the_o need_n we_o stand_v in_o of_o and_o benefit_n we_o receive_v by_o he_o that_o expression_n which_o we_o find_v use_v by_o st_n paul_n to_o know_v 19_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n be_v seem_o contradictory_n but_o easy_o reconcile_v by_o this_o distinction_n as_o christ_n so_o his_o love_n pass_v knowledge_n because_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o it_o be_v incomprehensible_a and_o yet_o we_o both_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o know_v that_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o apprehend_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o now_o this_o apprehensive_a knowledge_n be_v either_o
