such_o as_o it_o be_v be_v easy_a enough_o to_o be_v discern_v the_o stress_n of_o it_o rest_v upon_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o may_v perceive_v concern_v the_o spirit_n joh._n 16.14_o he_o shall_v take_v of_o i_o and_o shall_v show_v it_o unto_o you_o because_o he_o be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v a_o receiver_n therefore_o our_o adversary_n can_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v god_n because_o say_v he_o god_n be_v he_o that_o give_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o and_o it_o impli_v a_o contradiction_n that_o he_o that_o give_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o shall_v receive_v any_o thing_n from_o any_o but_o among_o all_o his_o argument_n this_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v among_o the_o poor_a for_o i_o reply_v first_o though_o god_n in_o a_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o give_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o yet_o withal_o he_o be_v say_v also_o in_o a_o sense_n proper_a enough_o to_o receive_v several_a thing_n and_o this_o without_o any_o contradiction_n at_o all_o he_o be_v say_v to_o receive_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o saint_n psal_n 6.9_o to_o receive_v the_o saint_n themselves_o psal_n 49.15_o &_o 73.24_o to_o receive_v comfort_n isa_n 57.6_o and_o so_o to_o receive_v glory_n and_o

something_o from_o another_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v nor_o be_v it_o the_o proper_a notion_n of_o dependency_n to_o receive_v of_o another_o these_o thing_n be_v very_o loose_o and_o undue_o affirm_v god_n be_v sometime_o in_o scripture_n say_v to_o give_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o because_o he_o give_v unto_o all_o all_o thing_n which_o they_o stand_v possess_v of_o he_o give_v they_o faculty_n principle_n strength_n and_o mean_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o give_v they_o all_o the_o action_n motion_n and_o working_n also_o which_o they_o act_n and_o work_v and_o consequent_o those_o very_a praise_n and_o acknowledgement_n which_o yet_o he_o receive_v from_o they_o too_o as_o for_o example_n he_o that_o give_v a_o man_n money_n wherewith_o to_o buy_v such_o a_o commodity_n he_o may_v very_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o give_v he_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v purchase_v with_o the_o money_n and_o so_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n run_v for_o he_o be_v thy_o money_n speak_v of_o the_o servant_n so_o when_o god_n e●dneth_v a_o creature_n with_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o get_v wealth_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o give_v he_o wealth_n itself_o which_o he_o do_v allow_v he_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o power_n and_o understanding_n infuse_v into_o he_o god_n give_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o in_o this_o sense_n do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v also_o many_o of_o these_o very_a thing_n which_o he_o give_v in_o the_o sense_n declare_v therefore_o it_o be_v no_o infallible_a character_n of_o a_o true_a god_n not_o to_o receive_v from_o another_o the_o apostle_n himself_o in_o that_o very_a scripture_n which_o the_o argument_n cit_v act_v 17.25_o say_n that_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v
