keep_v my_o say_n my_o father_n will_v love_v he_o and_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o make_v our_o abode_n with_o he_o but_o to_o abide_v with_o we_o do_v not_o signify_v to_o remain_v without_o we_o but_o to_o dwell_v within_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n show_v 17._o ephes_n 3.16_o 17._o when_o he_o pray_v that_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n and_o that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n by_o faith_n same_o that_o to_o be_v with_o god_n and_o to_o be_v in_o god_n be_v the_o same_o three_o he_o prove_v that_o to_o be_v with_o god_n and_o to_o be_v in_o god_n be_v aequivalent_fw-la and_o the_o very_a same_o in_o many_o thing_n for_o moses_n say_v god_n be_v faithful_a in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n and_o david_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a and_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n in_o he_o and_o yet_o saint_n paul_n say_v numquid_fw-la iniquitas_fw-la apud_fw-la deum_fw-la be_v their_o iniquity_n with_o god_n god_n forbid_v and_o saint_n james_n say_v with_o who_o there_o be_v no_o variableness_n nor_o shadow_n of_o turn_v i._n e._n in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o mutability_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o evangelist_n say_v eere_a the_o word_n be_v with_o god_n so_o our_o saviour_n say_v elsewhere_o 10.38_o john_n 10.38_o i_o be_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o therefore_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o with_o god_n as_o one_o man_n be_v with_o another_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o remain_v with_o saint_n peter_n fifteen_o day_n for_o so_o to_o be_v with_o one_o be_v to_o be_v without_o he_o as_o a_o guest_n by_o the_o affection_n of_o charity_n and_o not_o to_o be_v substantial_o in_o he_o as_o the_o same_o by_o the_o law_n of_o equity_n but_o christ_n be_v with_o god_n as_o the_o word_n be_v within_o the_o mind_n or_o the_o council_n be_v within_o the_o heart_n or_o life_n itself_o within_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o as_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v without_o life_n no_o more_o can_v god_n be_v without_o this_o word_n and_o therefore_o also_o we_o must_v observe_v a_o great_a difference_n god_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o god_n as_o christ_n be_v in_o god_n betwixt_o our_o be_v with_o god_n and_o in_o god_n and_o christ_n his_o be_v with_o god_n and_o in_o god_n for_o when_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o we_o our_o natural_a union_n with_o god_n be_v no_o way_n mean_v but_o either_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creator_n or_o the_o piety_n of_o the_o redeemer_n be_v always_o understand_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o give_v we_o power_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o this_o word_n be_v not_o make_v but_o natural_o and_o eternal_o beget_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o though_o we_o be_v call_v son_n and_o he_o call_v son_n we_o call_v god_n and_o he_o call_v god_n we_o say_v to_o be_v beget_v and_o he_o say_v to_o be_v beget_v yet_o herein_o be_v the_o difference_n that_o he_o be_v so_o natural_o and_o essential_o we_o so_o call_v by_o grace_n whereby_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o coessentialitie_a of_o the_o word_n with_o his_o father_n chap._n v._o of_o the_o coequalitie_n of_o the_o word_n with_o his_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a objection_n make_v against_o the_o same_o most_o clear_o and_o sufficient_o answer_v three_o you_o have_v see_v that_o this_o word_n be_v coeternal_a and_o coessential_a with_o his_o father_n it_o follow_v that_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o his_o coequalitie_n with_o his_o father_n and_o this_o point_n be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o former_a because_o in_o a_o essence_n most_o simple_a there_o can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o imagine_v more_o or_o less_o and_o therefore_o fulgentius_n say_v most_o excellent_o that_o see_v christ_n be_v from_o everlasting_a 3.25_o baruch_n 3.25_o because_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n see_v he_o be_v immeasurable_a because_o he_o be_v great_a and_o have_v no_o end_n and_o see_v he_o be_v most_o high_a as_o zacharias_n show_v in_o his_o speech_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n 1.76_o luke_n 1.76_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o prophet_n of_o the_o most_o high_a that_o be_v of_o christ_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o all_o respect_v equal_a unto_o his_o father_n nam_fw-la quid_fw-la anterius_fw-la sempiterno_fw-la quid_fw-la maius_fw-la immenso_fw-la quid_fw-la superius_fw-la altissimo_fw-la for_o what_o can_v be_v before_o he_o that_o have_v

the_o jew_n seek_v the_o rather_o to_o kill_v he_o 1●_n john_n 5_o 1●_n because_o he_o do_v not_o only_o break_v the_o sabbath_n but_o also_o say_v that_o god_n be_v his_o father_n make_v himself_o equal_a to_o god_n but_o the_o arrian_n do_v object_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o teach_v himself_o ob._n 1_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o his_o father_n but_o that_o the_o jew_n mistake_v he_o and_o think_v he_o do_v so_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v false_a for_o as_o saint_n cyrill_n god_n sol._n that_o the_o jew_n right_o understand_v that_o christ_n teach_v that_o he_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n saint_n chrysostome_n saint_n augustine_n and_o other_o do_v affirm_v the_o jew_n do_v right_o understand_v our_o saviour_n and_o the_o evangelist_n show_v as_o much_o for_o if_o they_o have_v either_o mis-conceived_n his_o meaning_n or_o misconstrued_n his_o word_n then_o sure_o either_o christ_n or_o the_o evangelist_n will_v have_v give_v we_o some_o notice_n thereof_o that_o so_o we_o may_v not_o err_v after_o they_o especial_o in_o so_o great_a a_o matter_n for_o so_o we_o find_v that_o when_o the_o capernait_v understand_v his_o word_n of_o a_o oral_a eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n our_o saviour_n perceive_v their_o error_n how_o they_o misunderstand_v his_o word_n 6.62_o john_n 6.62_o say_v present_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o and_o that_o the_o word_n which_o he_o speak_v be_v spirit_n and_o life_n and_o so_o when_o he_o say_v 2.20_o john_n 2.20_o destroy_v this_o temple_n and_o i_o will_v build_v it_o up_o again_o in_o three_o day_n and_o the_o jew_n think_v that_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o their_o stately_a material_a temple_n 21._o v._o 21._o that_o be_v forty_o six_o year_n a_o building_n the_o evangelist_n present_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n but_o neither_o christ_n nor_o the_o evangelist_n do_v here_o give_v we_o the_o least_o intimation_n of_o their_o mistake_n of_o his_o meaning_n but_o do_v rather_o approve_v their_o right_a apprehension_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o christ_n teach_v himself_o to_o be_v equal_a unto_o his_o father_n ob._n 2_o second_o they_o do_v object_n that_o christ_n himself_o say_v my_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o 14.20_o john_n 14.20_o and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v not_o equal_a unto_o his_o father_n

the_o father_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n but_o not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o son_n as_o i_o say_v before_o other_o will_v have_v the_o father_n to_o be_v great_a

how_o the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o christ_n but_o athanasius_n in_o my_o judgement_n answer_v best_a that_o christ_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o father_n as_o touch_v his_o godhead_n but_o inferior_a to_o the_o father_n as_o touch_v his_o manhood_n for_o christ_n say_v i_o go_v to_o the_o father_n 4.28_o john_n 4.28_o because_o the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o nature_n wherein_o he_o go_v to_o the_o father_n but_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o go_v to_o the_o father_n as_o he_o be_v

to_o receive_v and_o therefore_o prayer_n which_o be_v the_o only_a grace_n whereby_o we_o render_v unto_o god_n that_o praise_n and_o glory_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n must_v needs_o
