the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o have_v that_o sight_n for_o he_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o no_o man_n nor_o angel_n get_v a_o sight_n of_o god_n i_o say_v immediate_o

image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n in_o some_o measure_n for_o who_o can_v see_v it_o in_o a_o fullness_n then_o the_o example_n of_o a_o earthly_a son_n you_o see_v a_o earthly_a son_n will_v

three_o in_o stature_n shape_n and_o substance_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n you_o must_v understand_v there_o be_v no_o accident_n in_o god_n all_o be_v substance_n and_o essence_n he_o will_v then_o represent_v he_o first_o in_o his_o personage_n even_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o portraiture_n for_o how_o be_v it_o he_o be_v distinct_a in_o person_n yet_o nothing_o be_v so_o like_o

of_o the_o father_n and_o he_o will_v not_o only_o represent_v he_o in_o person_n but_o in_o substance_n also_o so_o that_o second_o he_o represent_v god_n the_o father_n in_o a_o substance_n take_v

no_o earthly_a son_n may_v say_v so_o i_o be_o in_o the_o

quick_a and_o the_o best_a represent_v of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o comparison_n and_o therefore_o in_o john_n 14._o 9_o to_o philip_n he_o say_v in_o that_o thou_o have_v see_v i_o thou_o have_v see_v the_o father_n also_o why_o because_o i_o be_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o glory_n so_o that_o if_o thou_o see_v i_o thou_o see_v the_o father_n

they_o labour_v and_o weary_v themselves_o for_o their_o hire_n so_o they_o crave_v give_v and_o partly_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o hardness_n of_o master_n for_o look_v how_o fain_o the_o one_o will_v have_v as_o fain_o will_v the_o other_o keep_v the_o poor_a servant_n will_v draw_v the_o master_n hold_v the_o apostle_n come_v in_o and_o say_v master_n let_v your_o hold_n go_v you_o be_v
