A51999	A treatise of the Holy Trinunity [sic]. In two parts. The first, asserting the deity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, in the unity of essence with God the father. The second, in defence of the former, containeth answers to the chiefest objections made against this doctrine. By Isaac Marlow.	Marlow, Isaac.	1690 (1690)	Wing M696; ESTC R216280	76,062	199

9.17_o now_o therefore_o o_o our_o god_n hear_v the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n and_o cause_v thy_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o thy_o sanctuary_n that_o be_v desolate_a for_o the_o lord_n sake_n

there_o be_v as_o little_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o prophet_n shall_v implore_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o one_o not_o in_o be_v because_o it_o will_v have_v be_v more_o proper_a for_o he_o to_o have_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o own_o gracious_a promise_n of_o mercy_n than_o for_o his_o sake_n who_o be_v fore-appointed_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n if_o he_o be_v not_o then_o exist_v in_o his_o divine_a nature_n for_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o promise_n on_o christ_n part_n to_o undertake_v and_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o atonement_n for_o we_o whereby_o to_o engage_v the_o father_n to_o show_v we_o mercy_n so_o neither_o can_v god_n be_v engage_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o one_o that_o be_v not_o then_o in_o be_v to_o do_v or_o promise_v the_o performance_n of_o any_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o from_o the_o prophet_n prayer_n to_o god_n for_o the_o lord_n

he_o do_v preexist_v his_o disreputation_n and_o that_o in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n and_o equal_a to_o he_o for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o before_o he_o take_v the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n in_o great_a dignity_n how_o then_o can_v he_o make_v himself_o of_o no_o reputation_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v preexist_v his_o incarnation_n four_o scripture_n be_v john_n 1.30_o where_o the_o evangelist_n say_v this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o say_v after_o i_o come_v a_o man_n which_o be_v prefer_v before_o i_o for_o he_o be_v before_o i_o as_o john_n be_v

till_o after_o john_n be_v put_v in_o prison_n luk._n 1.35_o 36._o mark_v 19.14_o mat._n 4.12_o 18._o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o john_n be_v before_o christ_n both_o in_o his_o conception_n and_o ministry_n wherein_o then_o be_v christ_n before_o he_o but_o in_o his_o divine_a nature_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v before_o john_n in_o the_o purpose_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o purpose_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v as_o eternal_a as_o god_n himself_o and_o to_o admit_v of_o any_o real_a or_o absolute_a precedency_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o god_n be_v repugnant_a to_o his_o infinite_a eternal_a and_o immutable_a perfection_n and_o make_v he_o subject_a to_o accident_n so_o that_o it_o be_v undeniable_a our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v preexist_v his_o incarnation_n but_o not_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n first_o for_o though_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_n yet_o neither_o for_o their_o excellency_n of_o nature_n nor_o any_o work_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o can_v the_o proper_a work_n attribute_n and_o perfection_n of_o god_n be_v ascribe_v to_o it_o for_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o creator_n or_o have_v equal_a attribute_n and_o perfection_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v or_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o christ_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o holy_a deity_n can_v not_o be_v apply_v to_o he_o if_o his_o nature_n be_v not_o better_o and_o more_o excellent_a than_o the_o angel_n second_o the_o

1.4_o be_v make_v so_o much_o better_a than_o the_o angel_n as_o he_o have_v by_o inheritance_n obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a name_n than_o they_o this_o text_n do_v not_o import_n that_o only_a christ_n name_n obtain_v by_o the_o inheritance_n of_o his_o kingly_a or_o priestly_a office_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o angel_n but_o also_o that_o his_o nature_n be_v different_a from_o they_o for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o christ_n and_o the_o angel_n in_o such_o word_n or_o form_n of_o speech_n as_o may_v any_o way_n intimate_a both_o he_o and_o they_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a name_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o angel_n have_v but_o so_o as_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o

the_o apostle_n insist_o far_a upon_o in_o the_o 5_o and_o 13_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n for_o after_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o what_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v viz._n that_o he_o be_v the_o
