son_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n understand_v these_o two_o designation_n to_o be_v so_o inseparable_a that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o controversy_n at_o first_o with_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o first_o convert_v but_o about_o this_o whether_o jesus_n be_v the_o messiah_n or_o not_o but_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v the_o messiah_n they_o never_o question_v his_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v they_o object_n to_o the_o christian_n their_o give_v he_o divine_a adoration_n we_o have_v the_o martyrdom_n of_o st._n stephen_n the_o most_o punctual_o relate_v of_o any_o of_o all_o the_o passage_n that_o happen_v in_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o christianity_n the_o jew_n hear_v and_o see_v all_o that_o past_a st._n stephen_n die_v call_v upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o receive_v his_o spirit_n and_o pray_v to_o he_o not_o to_o lay_v that_o sin_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o his_o murderer_n if_o the_o jew_n have_v not_o then_o believe_v that_o the_o messiah_n be_v to_o be_v true_o god_n and_o that_o as_o such_o he_o be_v to_o be_v invocate_v they_o must_v after_o this_o have_v reproach_v the_o christian_n with_o idolatry_n with_o make_v a_o man_n god_n and_o with_o the_o worship_v he_o as_o such_o this_o they_o do_v not_o do_v which_o show_v that_o then_o they_o own_v that_o the_o messiah_n be_v to_o be_v true_o god_n this_o be_v yet_o more_o instruct_v to_o the_o christian_n who_o can_v not_o but_o observe_v that_o st._n stephen_n end_v his_o life_n in_o act_n of_o invocation_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n with_o those_o in_o which_o christ_n himself_o have_v call_v on_o his_o heavenly_a father_n when_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n into_o thy_o hand_n i_o commit_v my_o spirit_n be_v of_o the_o same_o importance_n with_o that_o of_o st._n stephen_n lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n as_o father_n forgive_v they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v be_v the_o same_o act_n in_o effect_n with_o this_o lord_n lay_v not_o this_o to_o their_o charge_n if_o christ_n be_v not_o true_o god_n and_o to_o be_v worship_v as_o such_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o excuse_v this_o from_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n of_o idolatry_n i_o love_v not_o in_o such_o a_o audience_n to_o dwell_v long_o on_o point_n of_o speculation_n yet_o since_o this_o be_v the_o capital_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o since_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a infelicity_n of_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o that_o as_o many_o have_v be_v carry_v to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o whole_a of_o it_o so_o not_o a_o few_o have_v with_o a_o particular_a eagerness_n attack_v this_o fundamental_a point_n of_o it_o i_o hope_v the_o day_n as_o well_o as_o the_o time_n we_o be_v in_o will_v justify_v the_o insist_v a_o little_a more_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v a_o book_n write_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n which_o those_o who_o deny_v this_o doctrine_n profess_v they_o do_v acknowledge_v we_o must_v also_o confess_v that_o divine_a honour_n be_v through_o the_o whole_a of_o it_o ascribe_v to_o jesus_n christ_n from_o this_o common_a sense_n seem_v to_o infer_v that_o either_o he_o be_v true_o god_n by_o such_o a_o real_a union_n with_o the_o eternal_a word_n who_o be_v god_n as_o make_v both_o nature_n one_o person_n in_o he_o the_o near_a resemblance_n to_o which_o be_v the_o union_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n out_o of_o which_o very_o different_a nature_n arise_v one_o man_n or_o one_o person_n or_o if_o this_o be_v not_o true_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n one_o of_o who_o main_a end_n be_v to_o banish_v idolatry_n out_o of_o the_o world_n do_v real_o only_o change_v the_o object_n of_o this_o idolatry_n and_o draw_v man_n from_o worship_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o several_a nation_n to_o worship_v one_o who_o according_a to_o those_o man_n doctrine_n be_v only_o a_o creature_n and_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o honour_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o eternal_a god_n which_o be_v indeed_o a_o strain_n in_o idolatry_n beyond_o that_o of_o most_o heathen_a nation_n but_o to_o make_v this_o matter_n yet_o plain_a all_o the_o sect_n among_o christian_n that_o have_v reject_v our_o saviour_n divinity_n who_o yet_o acknowledge_v that_o divine_a honour_n be_v due_a to_o he_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o either_o such_o as_o hold_v he_o to_o have_v be_v some_o excellent_a create_v be_v make_v before_o the_o world_n and_o employ_v by_o god_n in_o make_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o so_o dignify_v with_o divine_a honour_n these_o be_v the_o arian_n of_o old_a who_o under_o many_o high_a word_n seem_v to_o have_v mean_v no_o more_o but_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v some_o create_a mind_n such_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o we_o all_o apprehend_v angel_n to_o be_v superior_a indeed_o in_o rank_n and_o order_n to_o any_o other_o of_o they_o but_o no_o idea_n can_v be_v form_v of_o a_o create_a mind_n how_o perfect_a soever_o but_o what_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n now_o st._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o
