happy_a as_o to_o hit_v upon_o the_o right_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o this_o can_v be_v do_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o can_v never_o be_v the_o right_a sense_n which_o contradict_v the_o clear_a and_o the_o plain_a part_n of_o the_o bible_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a and_o most_o certain_a evidence_n of_o humane_a understanding_n the_o general_a current_n of_o the_o scripture_n declare_v plain_o that_o christ_n or_o the_o messiah_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v make_v of_o a_o woman_n wherefore_o it_o be_v self-evident_a that_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n he_o can_v never_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o the_o world_n who_o true_a ancestor_n be_v humane_a person_n and_o who_o be_v

of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o speak_v figurative_o and_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v understand_v in_o their_o literal_a sense_n and_o

conclude_v that_o they_o mean_v that_o which_o other_o more_o numerous_a and_o plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o reason_n do_v make_v to_o be_v impossible_a of_o the_o two_o nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o we_o urge_v those_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o god_n above_o he_o that_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o himself_o that_o he_o know_v not_o of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o he_o die_v to_o redeem_v mankind_n the_o opposer_n reply_v that_o this_o be_v mean_v only_o as_o to_o his_o manhood_n or_o humane_a nature_n but_o not_o as_o to_o

nature_n can_v never_o have_v die_v according_a to_o his_o humane_a nature_n if_o by_o his_o divine_a nature_n he_o have_v be_v true_o god_n too_o for_o how_o can_v he_o in_o person_n have_v be_v mortal_a in_o one_o capacity_n if_o he_o have_v be_v on_o the_o contrary_a immortal_a in_o another_o he_o also_o can_v not_o possible_o have_v be_v ignorant_a in_o one_o capacity_n of_o what_o he_o
