much_o question_v but_o that_o the_o revelation_n in_o both_o point_n be_v clear_a enough_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o impossible_a as_o to_o that_o of_o the_o trinity_n i_o have_v already_o show_v in_o a_o former_a letter_n that_o there_o be_v therein_o no_o impossibility_n but_o that_o what_o in_o one_o consideration_n be_v three_o which_o we_o common_o call_v three_o person_n may_v yet_o in_o another_o consideration_n be_v one_o god_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o show_v that_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o impossibility_n as_o to_o the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o this_o consist_v of_o two_o branch_n that_o of_o his_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n and_o that_o of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n as_o it_o be_v common_o call_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n with_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n as_o to_o the_o former_a of_o the_o two_o there_o can_v be_v no_o pretence_n of_o impossibility_n for_o the_o same_o god_n who_o do_v at_o first_o make_v adam_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n without_o either_o father_n or_o mother_n and_o who_o make_v eve_n of_o adam_n rib_n without_o a_o mother_n at_o least_o however_o adam_n may_v be_v fancy_v as_o a_o father_n and_o who_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o day_n recall_v the_o dead_a out_o of_o the_o dust_n may_v doubtless_o if_o he_o so_o please_v cause_v a_o woman_n without_o the_o help_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v a_o child_n there_o be_v certain_o no_o impossibility_n in_o nature_n why_o it_o may_v not_o by_o a_o omnipotent_a agent_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v and_o when_o the_o scripture_n declare_v it_o so_o to_o be_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n if_o we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o disbelieve_v the_o thing_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o when_o christ_n cure_v the_o blind_a man_n eye_n with_o day_n and_o spittle_n or_o 6._o when_o he_o say_v lazarus_n come_v forth_o and_o 44._o he_o do_v so_o or_o when_o god_n say_v let_v 3._o there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a and_o of_o the_o whole_a creation_n he_o speak_v 9_o and_o it_o be_v do_v he_o command_v and_o it_o stand_v fast_o no_o more_o than_o when_o he_o make_v aaron_n rod_n a_o dry_a stick_n to_o bud_v 8._o and_o blossom_n and_o yield_v almond_n or_o what_o be_v imply_v in_o that_o let_v not_o the_o eunuch_n 3._o say_v i_o be_o a_o dry_a tree_n and_o not_o much_o more_o than_o when_o god_n give_v abraham_n 12._o a_o son_n in_o his_o old_a age_n and_o notwithstanding_o 19_o the_o deadness_n of_o sarah_n womb_n i_o be_v about_o to_o say_v and_o it_o be_v not_o much_o amiss_o if_o i_o do_v it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o than_o what_o pretty_a often_o happen_v among_o man_n when_o god_n give_v both_o sex_n to_o the_o same_o person_n such_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v one_o yet_o live_v who_o be_v first_o as_o a_o woman_n marry_v to_o a_o man_n and_o be_v since_o as_o a_o man_n marry_v to_o a_o woman_n and_o what_o hinder_v then_o but_o that_o god_n if_o he_o please_v may_v mingle_v the_o effect_n of_o both_o these_o sex_n in_o the_o same_o body_n a_o little_a alteration_n in_o the_o structure_n of_o the_o vessel_n will_v do_v it_o for_o when_o there_o be_v in_o the_o same_o body_n and_o so_o near_o semen_n virile_a &_o muliebre_fw-la what_o hinder_v but_o there_o may_v be_v a_o passage_n for_o they_o to_o mix_v and_o plant_n we_o know_v do_v propagate_v without_o a_o fellow_n though_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o animal_n and_o whereas_o this_o be_v say_v to_o be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v upon_o she_o 35._o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a over_o shadow_v the_o bless_a virgin_n it_o be_v not_o much_o unlike_o that_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n incubation_n or_o move_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n so_o that_o as_o to_o this_o point_n 2._o here_o be_v nothing_o impossible_a nothing_o incredible_a the_o other_o particular_a as_o to_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n how_o god_n and_o man_n can_v be_v unite_v in_o one_o person_n may_v seem_v more_o difficult_a for_o we_o to_o apprehend_v because_o we_o understand_v so_o little_a of_o the_o divine_a essence_n and_o consequent_o be_v less_o able_a to_o determine_v what_o be_v and_o what_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o it_o and_o when_o all_o be_v do_v if_o we_o be_v never_o so_o certain_a that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o union_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o say_v how_o it_o be_v but_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n from_o thence_o to_o conclude_v the_o thing_n impossible_a because_o we_o know_v not_o how_o it_o be_v do_v because_o there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o we_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v of_o which_o we_o be_v almost_o at_o as_o great_a a_o loss_n as_o to_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o be_v as_o in_o the_o present_a case_n solomon_n as_o wise_a as_o lie_v be_v and_o how_o well_o so_o ever_o skill_v in_o natural_a philosophy_n do_v yet_o acknowledge_v himself_o in_o many_o thing_n to_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n when_o he_o will_v search_v out_o the_o bottom_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o even_o when_o he_o make_v it_o his_o business_n so_o to_o do_v when_o say_v he_o i_o apply_v my_o heart_n to_o know_v wisdom_n and_o to_o see_v the_o business_n that_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o earth_n then_o i_o behold_v all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o a_o man_n can_v find_v out_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v do_v under_o the_o sun_n because_o though_o a_o man_n labour_n to_o seek_v it_o out_o yet_o he_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o yea_o further_o though_o a_o wise_a man_n seek_v to_o

because_o we_o can_v find_v it_o out_o and_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o puzzle_v question_n god_n put_v to_o job_n in_o the_o 37_o 38_o 39_o 40_o 41._o chapter_n of_o job_n even_o in_o

shall_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v the_o wind_n do_v not_o blow_n because_o we_o know_v not_o how_o or_o whence_o it_o blow_v or_o that_o god_n can_v command_v the_o wind_n because_o we_o can_v we_o
