jesus_n moreover_o in_o the_o gospel_n after_o s._n john_n we_o read_v that_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o the_o blind_a who_o eye_n he_o open_v say_v do_v thou_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o blind_a have_v receive_v his_o sight_n answer_v who_o be_v he_o lord_n that_o i_o may_v believe_v in_o he_o whereunto_o the_o lord_n reply_v thou_o have_v see_v he_o and_o he_o it_o be_v that_o talk_v with_o thou_o and_o that_o then_o again_o the_o blind_a say_v i_o believe_v lord_n and_o there_o withal_o he_o worship_v he_o therefore_o let_v we_o also_o believe_v &_o worship_n let_v we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v of_o one_o power_n with_o the_o father_n although_o in_o person_n he_o differ_v from_o the_o father_n which_o david_n testify_v say_v the_o lord_n say_v to_o my_o lord_n sit_v thou_o at_o my_o right_a hand_n etc_n etc_n but_o if_o we_o declare_v at_o large_a who_z the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v in_o who_o we_o believe_v be_v then_o must_v we_o note_v three_o thing_n especial_o the_o first_o be_v that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o only_a son_n if_o he_o be_v the_o son_n yea_o and_o that_o too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o be_v his_o nature_n and_o substance_n a_o divine_a nature_n and_o substance_n for_o in_o this_o signification_n do_v the_o apostle_n call_v he_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o lively_a image_n of_o his_o substance_n coessential_a very_o well_o therefore_o do_v the_o holy_a father_n say_v that_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o be_v with_o the_o father_n whereunto_o belong_v that_o that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o only_a son_n and_o in_o son_n another_o place_n the_o only_o beget_v and_o first_o beget_v son_n for_o we_o also_o be_v call_v son_n not_o by_o participation_n of_o nature_n or_o likeness_n of_o substance_n or_o natural_o but_o by_o adoption_n and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o offend_v because_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o that_o sense_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v call_v and_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o because_o they_o do_v perceive_v the_o he_o do_v more_o extol_v himself_o in_o say_v the_o he_o be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n equal_a to_o god_n &_o god_n himself_o for_o thus_o we_o read_v in_o the_o fifthe_o of_o john_n therefore_o the_o jew_n seek_v the_o more_o to_o kill_v jesus_n not_o only_o because_o he_o have_v break_v the_o sabbath_n but_o say_v also_o that_o god_n be_v his_o father_n &_o make_v himself_o equal_a with_o god._n again_o where_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n say_v i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o than_o the_o jew_n take_v up_o stone_n to_o stone_n he_o withal_o but_o jesus_n answer_v many_o good_a work_n have_v i_o do_v unto_o you_o for_o which_o of_o they_o do_v you_o stone_n i_o to_o which_o the_o jew_n reply_v for_o thy_o good_a work_n sake_n we_o stone_v thou_o not_o but_o for_o thy_o blasphemy_n &_o because_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n make_v thyself_o god._n these_o be_v most_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o natural_a godhead_n of_o christ_n which_o whosoever_o believe_v not_o he_o have_v not_o the_o father_n for_o he_o that_o honour_v the_o son_n honour_v the_o father_n and_o he_o that_o be_v without_o the_o son_n have_v not_o the_o father_n and_o unless_o the_o son_n be_v god_n by_o nature_n he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n now_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v jesus_n mark_v be_v that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n

through_o who_o we_o shall_v christ_n call_v upon_o this_o father_n not_o by_o the_o mediation_n or_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n through_o who_o only_o

create_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n do_v not_o stand_v fast_o in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n but_o degenerate_v from_o his_o nature_n wherein_o he_o be_v make_v good_a and_o fall_v into_o another_o nature_n corrupt_a and_o wicked_a and_o have_v out_o of_o himself_o disperse_v all_o evil_a as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o history_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_v murder_n

beginning_n satan_n come_v and_o whether_o god_n make_v he_o or_o no_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n and_o those_o also_o which_o afterward_o do_v become_v reprobate_n and_o wicked_a devil_n but_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a do_v redound_v to_o god_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n good_a for_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o make_v be_v good_a furthermore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v that_o he_o revolt_v from_o the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o they_o truth_n faith_n or_o fidelity_n and_o the_o duty_n that_o they_o ought_v he_o which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o have_v do_v if_o they_o themselves_o will_v but_o they_o do_v disloyal_o fall_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o sin_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n testify_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o falsehood_n and_o of_o all_o their_o naughtiness_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o in_o the_o rebellious_a and_o revolt_a angel._n for_o since_o the_o time_n of_o his_o fall_n there_o be_v no_o truth_n no_o fidelity_n no_o
