shall be scattered This is applyed by our Saviour to himself in the very Evening of his Passion Matth. 26.31 Mark 14.27 Joh. 16.32 And we see it accomplished in these words My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Now by this Suffering Christ satisfied the Law and in that way did as it were Conquer it He PLACE = foot n = * I am apt to think that this Expression of Nailing it to his Cross may be chiefly intended of the Ceremonial Law because that which was Nailed to the Cross was Cancelled whereas that is not true concerning the Moral Law tho' it were left in a sense Dead that is as to the Power of Condemnation against Believers Nailed it to his Cross Col. 2.14 The Law brought Christ Jesus to his Death and Cross more effectually than the Jews and Romans and there our Saviour left the Law for Dead as it is expressed at large in an Elegant Allegory by the Apostle Paul Rom. 7. the first 6.

His making and destroying the World Our being commanded to Worship and Trust in Him as God even as we Honour the Father His Saying I and the Father are One His Answering Philip as he did when he desir'd him that he would shew them the Father Joh. 14.8 Jesus saith unto him Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me Philip He that hath seen me hath seen the Father Which fully accords with that in Heb. 1.2 3. God hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son whom he hath appointed Heir of all things by whom also he made the Worlds who being the Brightness of his Glory and the Express Image of his Person A Native and as it were a Domestical Expression of one that is a Son by Nature And then the Intimacies that our Saviour signifies that he had with his Father The Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things that himself doth and he will shew him greater things then these that ye may marvel For as the Father raiseth up the Dead and quickeneth them even so the Son quickeneth whom he will Joh. 5.20 21. The Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do for whatsoever things he doth these also doth the Son likewise Ver. 19. As the Father hath Life in himself so hath he given to the Son to have Life in himself Ver. 26. Which Expression I take to be Incommunicable to any Creature These things may suffice to have been spoken as the Grounds of my Belief concerning the Natural Deity of God the Son I come in the next place to give the Reasons for my Belief That the Holy Ghost is God of the fame Essence with the Father and the Son and not a meer Creature yea a Person and no meer Power And in this I shall be very Brief because the Evidences are not so many tho' they are as Effectual And here first It is plain that the Spirit of God by its Omnipotent Incubation did produce all the Variety of Creatures when it moved upon the face of the Waters Gen. 1.2 Again All Christians acknowledge that the Scriptures were written by Men Divinely Inspir'd they were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Inspir'd or Spirited and breath'd on by the Spirit of God and who can sanctifie the heart but he that knows the heart and who knows the heart but God The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it ' I the Lord Jer. 17.9 10.
