which_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v also_o be_v call_v a_o manifestation_n but_o we_o say_v the_o seed_n itself_o be_v also_o a_o manifestation_n and_o those_o inward_a heavenly_a refreshment_n which_o god_n minister_v unto_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o saint_n be_v as_o real_a substantial_a spiritual_a manifestation_n of_o his_o goodness_n as_o the_o outward_a earthly_a refreshment_n to_o wit_n meat_n and_o drink_n be_v real_a substantial_a natural_a manifestation_n last_o they_o query_n if_o the_o manifestation_n be_v a_o substance_n whether_o be_v it_o one_o manifestation_n or_o all_o the_o manifestation_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v they_o that_o please_v to_o call_v the_o action_n or_o motion_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n a_o a_o efficient_a cause_n a_o manifestation_n may_v easy_o distingnish_v manifestation_n as_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n or_o quid_fw-la permanens_fw-la or_o as_o it_o be_v a_o action_n or_o quid_fw-la transiens_fw-la now_o to_o apply_v we_o say_v the_o substantial_a manifestation_n of_o god_n inward_o to_o our_o soul_n be_v many_o as_o they_o be_v quid_fw-la permanens_fw-la and_o per_fw-la modum_fw-la principii_fw-la for_o as_o god_n nourish_v our_o outward_a man_n not_o with_o bread_n and_o drink_v once_o only_o but_o often_o and_o many_o be_v our_o outward_a refreshment_n all_o which_o be_v substance_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v manifestation_n and_o pledge_n of_o god_n bounty_n unto_o we_o so_o do_v he_o nourish_v our_o inward_a man_n with_o spiritual_a bread_n and_o drink_v not_o once_o only_o but_o often_o give_v we_o daily_o the_o supersubstantiall_a bread_n as_o the_o word_n in_o the_o prayer_n may_v be_v translate_v and_o have_v be_v by_o some_o learned_a man_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v answer_v their_o last_o argument_n in_o their_o §_o 5._o without_o recur_v to_o any_o idea_n platonica_fw-la a_o term_n they_o vain_o bring_v in_o to_o their_o argument_n to_o move_v people_n to_o laugh_v at_o their_o folly_n and_o thus_o we_o hope_v it_o be_v apparent_a that_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o retract_v our_o answer_n give_v in_o the_o dispute_n as_o they_o vain_o imagine_v it_o will_v be_v more_o labour_n and_o expense_n of_o time_n and_o paper_n than_o the_o thing_n be_v worth_a to_o answer_v they_o in_o all_o their_o pitiful_a ridiculous_a reason_n in_o these_o matter_n in_o every_o particular_a therefore_o not_o to_o weary_v the_o reader_n nor_o misspend_v time_n we_o shall_v set_v down_o some_o few_o clear_a distinct_a proposition_n which_o shall_v clear_o answer_v any_o seem_a difficulty_n allege_v by_o they_o in_o this_o whole_a section_n as_o in_o relation_n to_o christ._n 1._o proposition_n the_o word_n or_o son_n of_o god_n have_v the_o whole_a entire_a nature_n of_o man_n spirit_z soul_n and_o body_n unite_v to_o he_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o he_o be_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n what_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n both_o in_o spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n 2._o christ_n in_o we_o or_o the_o seed_n be_v not_o a_o three_o spiritual_a nature_n distinct_a from_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n that_o be_v crucify_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o same_o that_o be_v in_o we_o be_v and_o be_v in_o he_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o fullness_n or_o spring_n of_o the_o same_o in_o we_o as_o the_o stream_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o difference_n but_o such_o as_o be_v betwixt_o the_o spring_n and_o the_o stream_n which_o be_v one_o in_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n 3._o we_o say_v that_o the_o same_o seed_n and_o life_n be_v in_o we_o which_o be_v in_o he_o and_o be_v in_o he_o in_o the_o fullness_n as_o water_n be_v in_o the_o spring_n and_o in_o we_o as_o the_o stream_n and_o this_o seed_n and_o spiritual_a nature_n which_o be_v both_o in_o he_o and_o we_o do_v belong_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o second_o adam_n or_o man_n christ_n therefore_o this_o seed_n be_v in_o we_o the_o man_n christ_n be_v in_o we_o not_o according_a to_o his_o whole_a manhood_n but_o according_a unto_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a unto_o it_o and_o yet_o without_o all_o division_n as_o the_o natural_a life_n be_v in_o all_o the_o member_n but_o more_o principal_o in_o the_o head_n and_o heart_n without_o any_o division_n so_o this_o spiritual_a life_n and_o nature_n be_v both_o in_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o in_o we_o by_o which_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n do_v in_o the_o body_n and_o we_o eat_v and_o partake_v of_o his_o flesh_n 4._o but_o if_o they_o argue_v that_o at_o least_o christ_n have_v three_o nature_n in_o himself_o we_o say_v their_o own_o principle_n will_v conclude_v that_o as_o much_o as_o we_o for_o the_o godhead_n be_v one_o nature_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o second_o and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o three_o and_o our_o adversary_n themselves_o teach_v that_o as_o god_n be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o nature_n so_o christ_n be_v three_o nature_n in_o one_o person_n 5._o although_o the_o word_n or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d shall_v assume_v into_o union_n with_o itself_o not_o only_o two_o nature_n but_o three_o it_o shall_v not_o make_v either_o two_o or_o three_o chist_n but_o one_o for_o they_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n have_v assume_v two_o to_o wit_n the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o the_o man_n christ_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o two_o christ_n but_o one_o even_o as_o the_o king_n be_v but_o one_o king_n although_o he_o possess_v three_o kingdom_n for_o ad_fw-la multiplicationem_fw-la obliquorum_fw-la non_fw-la multiplicantur_fw-la concreta_fw-la as_o your_o logic_n teach_v 6._o the_o seed_n and_o spiritual_a body_n of_o christ_n both_o in_o he_o and_o in_o we_o belong_v to_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o second_o adam_n be_v as_o real_o and_o immediate_o unite_v unto_o the_o word_n as_o his_o outward_a body_n be_v for_o the_o whole_a manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o logos_fw-la and_o the_o logos_fw-la to_o it_o and_o in_o it_o therefore_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o seed_n and_o spiritual_a body_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o be_v as_o real_o his_o suffering_n as_o these_o he_o accomplish_v at_o jerusalem_n 7._o this_o seed_n be_v not_o our_o soul_n but_o be_v a_o medium_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o and_o our_o union_n with_o god_n be_v but_o mediate_v through_o this_o whereas_o the_o union_n of_o god_n with_o this_o be_v immediate_a therefore_o none_o of_o we_o be_v either_o christ_n or_o god_n but_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o 8._o see_v this_o seed_n and_o spirivall_n nature_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o both_o in_o he_o and_o in_o we_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a to_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o christ_n as_o man_n as_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o argue_v that_o because_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v in_o all_o his_o member_n that_o therefore_o as_o many_o member_n as_o many_o soul_n the_o element_n of_o the_o air_n be_v but_o one_o only_a element_n although_o it_o fill_v the_o whole_a universe_n betwixt_o the_o star_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o element_n of_o water_n be_v but_o one_o although_o it_o fill_v many_o channel_n 9_o christ_n outward_o die_v but_o once_o but_o inward_o he_o die_v in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a sense_n as_o often_o as_o any_o crucify_v he_o to_o themselves_o by_o their_o unfaithfulnesse_n and_o disobedience_n as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v 10._o as_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n without_o we_o we_o own_v it_o against_o the_o socinian_o and_o that_o it_o be_v full_a and_o complete_a in_o its_o kind_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o exclude_v the_o real_a worth_n of_o the_o work_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o nor_o his_o present_a intercession_n for_o if_o christ_n his_o intercession_n without_o we_o in_o heaven_n do_v not_o derogate_v from_o his_o satisfaction_n but_o do_v fulfil_v it_o no_o more_o do_v his_o intercession_n and_o suffering_n in_o we_o 11._o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o man_n be_v voluntary_a and_o yet_o without_o sin_n as_o his_o suffering_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v voluntary_a and_o without_o sin_n for_o as_o he_o join_v not_o with_o they_o who_o outward_o crucify_v he_o in_o any_o active_a way_n to_o coucurre_v with_o they_o or_o countenance_v they_o so_o nor_o do_v he_o inward_o join_v with_o man_n to_o countenance_n or_o concur_v with_o they_o when_o they_o crucify_v he_o by_o their_o sin_n 12._o as_o there_o be_v no_o need_n that_o the_o jew_n shall_v have_v crucify_v christ_n outward_o so_o as_o purposely_o to_o sin_v that_o christ_n may_v suffer_v for_o sin_n outward_o although_o the_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n suffering_n and_o god_n foreknowledge_n be_v certain_a
