whole_a christ_n do_v consist_v of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n position_n 1_o every_o man_n be_v constitute_v of_o two_o part_n flesh_n and_o spirit_n 2_o cor._n 7.1_o jam._n 2.26_o and_o so_o be_v christ_n as_o in_o rom._n 1.3_o 4._o where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o whole_a christ_n mention_n nothing_o but_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o that_o can_v find_v another_o part_n beside_o those_o two_o or_o

christ_n before_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n do_v exist_v only_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n he_o have_v no_o be_v but_o a_o spiritual_a one_o but_o this_o be_v no_o controversall_a thing_n be_v on_o all_o hand_n conclude_v for_o truth_n the_o only_a disagreement_n be_v whether_o this_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n after_o which_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v signify_v the_o divine_a nature_n and_o godhead_n or_o else_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v create_v or_o form_v and_o do_v exist_v distinct_a from_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o the_o three_o position_n be_v position_n 3_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o which_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o creature_n to_o support_v this_o take_v these_o reason_n 1._o because_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v exist_v distinct_a from_o his_o body_n and_o may_v be_v speak_v of_o as_o a_o person_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o absurd_a for_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n may_v exist_v distinct_a from_o the_o body_n and_o be_v speak_v of_o as_o a_o person_n what_o be_v those_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n

which_o most_o proper_o belong_v to_o christ_n before_o he_o take_v flesh_n do_v hold_v he_o forth_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n first_o he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n luke_n 1.35_o now_o this_o

his_o father_n but_o a_o son_n be_v inferior_a to_o a_o father_n and_o by_o the_o law_n be_v bind_v to_o honour_n and_o obey_v he_o wherefore_o christ_n confess_v that_o his_o father_n be_v great_a than_o he_o john_n 14.28_o my_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o and_o profess_v that_o he_o do_v honour_v his_o father_n john_n 8.49_o jesus_n answer_v i_o have_v not_o a_o devil_n but_o i_o honour_v my_o father_n and_o you_o do_v dishonour_n i_o that_o this_o may_v be_v put_v past_o all_o doubt_n he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o the_o high_a luke_n 1.32_o he_o shall_v be_v great_a and_o shall_v
