A75620	Theanthrōpos; or, God-man: being an exposition upon the first eighteen verses of the first chapter of the Gospel according to St John. Wherein, is most accurately and divinely handled, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ; proving him to be God and man, coequall and coeternall with the Father: to the confutation of severall heresies both ancient and modern. By that eminently learned and reverend divine, John Arrowsmith, D.D. late Master of Trinity-Colledge in Cambridge, and Professor of Divinity there.	Arrowsmith, John, 1602-1659.	1660 (1660)	Wing A3778; Thomason E1014_1; ESTC R10473	267,525	319

he_o not_o without_o distinction_n and_o in_o he_o without_o division_n as_o in_o the_o nighttime_n if_o a_o man_n set_v up_o three_o candle_n in_o a_o room_n all_o these_o concur_v to_o the_o

to_o worship_n and_o look_v at_o christ_n as_o a_o person_n distinct_a from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o else_o we_o worship_v not_o christ_n but_o our_o own_o fancy_n if_o we_o conceive_v he_o not_o as_o he_o be_v as_o he_o be_v distinct_a this_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o christian_a and_o the_o turkish_a religion_n i_o may_v say_v the_o jewish_a too_o for_o the_o turk_n and_o jew_n agree_v in_o that_o they_o hold_v one_o god_n but_o deny_v a_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n we_o christian_n according_a to_o scripture_n

necessity_n appear_v in_o a_o way_n of_o reason_n which_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o this_o great_a mystery_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o distinction_n of_o person_n god_n person_n the_o benefit_n of_o the_o distinction_n of_o person_n the_o father_n be_v the_o person_n offend_v reconciliation_n be_v to_o be_v make_v none_o but_o god_n have_v enough_o in_o he_o to_o satisfy_v god_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o person_n to_o satisfy_v the_o person_n offend_v that_o the_o second_o person_n the_o lord_n
