Wherein, is most accurately and divinely handled, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ; proving him to be God and man, coequall and coeternall with the Father: to the confutation of severall heresies both ancient and modern.

for_o the_o turk_n and_o jew_n agree_v in_o that_o they_o hold_v one_o god_n but_o deny_v a_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n we_o christian_n according_a to_o scripture_n
