that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o father_n by_o natural_a generation_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v aequal_a to_o god_n his_o father_n for_o in_o the_o godhead_n there_o be_v nothing_o great_a or_o small_a

they_o jangle_n that_o it_o be_v write_v in_o this_o gospel_n the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o whereunto_o first_o i_o say_v that_o one_o place_n of_o this_o gospel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v expoun_v against_o the_o hole_n purpose_n of_o the_o book_n which_o be_v to_o teach_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v god_n natural_a son_n &_o aequal_a to_o god_n and_o since_o the_o evangelist_n have_v this_o word_n aequal_a plain_o and_o express_o they_o show_v themselves_o mad_a that_o will_v make_v he_o to_o encountre_n against_o himself_o second_o i_o say_v that_o in_o that_o place_n the_o lord_n jesus_n compare_v not_o his_o substance_n with_o the_o father_n substance_n but_o compare_v his_o present_a humble_a state_n with_o the_o glorious_a state_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v after_o his_o ascension_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o godly_a old_a father_n wellnigh_o have_v teach_v those_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o his_o man_n nature_n which_o shall_v be_v forth_o with_o advance_v to_o immortal_a &_o incorruptible_a glory_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n some_o greke_n writer_n in_o deed_n admit_v that_o the_o father_n be_v great_a they_o the_o son_n not_o because_o he_o have_v great_a power_n or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n in_o their_o substance_n &_o essence_n but_o in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n and_o beget_v the_o son_n and_o be_v
