follow_v from_o thy_o doctrine_n that_o the_o brat_n of_o thy_o own_o imagination_n be_v equal_a unto_o god_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o gross_a idolatry_n that_o ever_o any_o man_n be_v

because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a shall_v these_o creature_n take_v in_o the_o whole_a complex_n be_v equal_a unto_o god_n and_o have_v the_o same_o immensity_n or_o infinitness_n with_o he_o sure_o thou_o must_v needs_o say_v not_o and_o therefore_o christ_n the_o heavenly_a man_n although_o he_o shall_v also_o be_v in_o all_o these_o place_n be_v still_o inferior_a to_o the_o godhead_n for_o whatever_o any_o man_n or_o creature_n can_v conceive_v of_o place_n or_o space_n of_o the_o great_a extent_n imaginable_a god_n be_v still_o infinite_o great_a and_o all_o the_o creature_n visible_a

space_n as_o idle_a fiction_n of_o foolish_a and_o ignorant_a man_n what_o be_v beyond_o this_o visible_a world_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n i_o do_v easy_o and_o ready_o answer_v that_o not_o only_a

that_o most_o wonderful_a union_n betwixt_o the_o two_o nature_n and_o a_o little_a after_o i_o say_v the_o godhead_n and_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o one_o christ._n and_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o inferior_a divinity_n or_o deity_n but_o the_o very_a same_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n again_o as_o concern_v this_o most_o wonderful_a and_o singular_a union_n whereby_o the_o godhead_n and_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o christ_n i_o say_v p._n 83._o christ_n as_o man_n have_v a_o true_a and_o real_a soul_n distinct_a from_o the_o godhead_n yet_o for_o ever_o unite_v with_o the_o same_o in_o a_o most_o immediate_a and_o wonderful_a manner_n of_o which_o union_n no_o other_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v partaker_n and_o thus_o reader_n thou_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o i_o lay_v not_o the_o foundation_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n their_o worship_a christ_n upon_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o manhood_n bare_o consider_v as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o most_o rare_a and_o singular_a union_n with_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o do_v very_o plain_o affirm_v the_o say_a union_n and_o that_o because_o thereof_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o therefore_o also_o i_o do_v further_o say_v that_o the_o worship_n which_o man_n and_o angel_n give_v unto_o the_o man_n christ_n do_v not_o terminate_v which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v in_o more_o plain_a english_a do_v not_o rest_v nor_o end_n upon_o the_o manhood_n but_o ascend_v through_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o godhead_n where_o it_o do_v terminate_v or_o rest_n and_o therefore_o the_o saint_n in_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o praise_n god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o he_o to_o offer_v up_o unto_o god_n continual_a sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o so_o much_o do_v the_o word_n mediator_n import_n which_o signify_v a_o middle_a man_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o although_o our_o prayer_n our_o thanksgiving_n and_o whole_a worship_n be_v direct_v unto_o christ_n yet_o not_o unto_o he_o alone_o but_o also_o unto_o god_n htrough_n he_o nor_o do_v my_o word_n cite_v by_o thou_o give_v thou_o the_o least_o ground_n to_o say_v that_o i_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o angel_n worship_n upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o manhood_n bare_o consider_v in_o itself_o because_o i_o say_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v a_o great_a and_o mighty_a and_o most_o excellent_a be_v far_o above_o all_o and_o excel_v all_o man_n and_o angel_n for_o do_v not_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n excel_v all_o man_n and_o angel_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o union_n with_o the_o godhead_n such_o as_o none_o else_o be_v partaker_n of_o be_v not_o this_o union_n of_o he_o with_o the_o godhead_n most_o excellent_a and_o do_v it_o not_o cause_v he_o to_o excel_v all_o other_o being_n that_o have_v no_o such_o union_n by_o thy_o doctrine_n indeed_o it_o add_v no_o excellency_n unto_o he_o and_o consequent_o by_o the_o same_o doctrine_n of_o thou_o although_o in_o contradiction_n to_o thyself_o the_o man_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o bare_o consider_v in_o himself_o without_o any_o respect_n of_o his_o union_n with_o the_o godhead_n for_o according_a unto_o thy_o doctrine_n that_o union_n add_v no_o excellency_n unto_o he_o and_o make_v he_o not_o one_o whit_n more_o excellent_a and_o thus_o now_o i_o desire_v all_o man_n of_o understanding_n to_o see_v and_o consider_v whether_o the_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n and_o not_o i_o have_v not_o make_v the_o angel_n idolater_n and_o here_o reader_n i_o desire_v thou_o also_o to_o consider_v how_o this_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n seek_v to_o lurk_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o give_v we_o no_o express_a account_n whether_o he_o believe_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v only_o tell_v that_o all_o true_a
