be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o article_n of_o its_o faith_n now_o in_o pag._n 11_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o do_v exclude_v the_o manhood_n now_o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o manhood_n out_o of_o his_o place_n for_o the_o visible_a man_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n from_o god_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n to_o be_v make_v betwixt_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o visible_a body_n in_o which_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v for_o christ_n himself_o make_v a_o distinction_n and_o say_v that_o his_o

now_o you_o say_v in_o pag._n 12_o of_o your_o book_n that_o i_o contradict_v myself_o because_o that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o man_n in_o the_o mystery_n be_v the_o woman_n part_n that_o be_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o the_o mystery_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n body_n that_o be_v the_o godhead_n and_o the_o godhead_n die_v not_o as_o i_o write_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o baptist_n now_o as_o christ_n be_v god_n or_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n or_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n from_o god_n he_o never_o die_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n die_v not_o neither_o have_v the_o devil_n power_n to_o tempt_v he_o as_o he_o be_v god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v as_o say_v the_o scripture_n but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o mary_n the_o devil_n have_v power_n to_o present_a temptation_n to_o his_o soul_n even_o whilst_o his_o soul_n dwell_v in_o the_o godhead_n but_o the_o visible_a manhood_n which_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n who_o dwell_v in_o the_o godhead_n he_o be_v impower_v by_o the_o godhead_n to_o bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n in_o all_o his_o appearance_n and_o temptation_n and_o so_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n do_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o so_o he_o never_o come_v under_o the_o devil_n power_n where_o both_o we_o and_o our_o first_o parent_n adam_n and_o eve_n have_v be_v so_o that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o mother_n he_o die_v but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o father_n he_o die_v not_o for_o the_o godhead_n die_v not_o but_o as_o for_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n they_o like_o eve_n their_o mother_n have_v be_v in_o transgression_n but_o as_o for_o christ_n soul_n and_o body_n it_o never_o consent_v to_o sin_n nor_o yet_o join_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o corruption_n and_o again_o you_o say_v his_o go_n be_v of_o old_a from_o everlasting_a friend_n be_v not_o the_o lord_n go_n by_o his_o universal_a spirit_n among_o the_o gentile_n the_o same_o now_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n for_o then_o god_n appear_v to_o abimelech_n king_n of_o the_o philistine_n by_o his_o

gentiles_n and_o have_v not_o the_o samaritan_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n flesh_n as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v it_o now_o and_o be_v god_n not_o to_o be_v worship_v in_o his_o own_o spirit_n then_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o in_o pag._n 12_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o christ_n blood_n have_v a_o testimony_n in_o it_o towards_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o then_o according_a to_o your_o own_o word_n there_o be_v no_o real_a remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n blood_n that_o be_v shed_v upon_o the_o ground_n then_o i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v what_o benefit_n the_o gentile_n have_v by_o that_o blood_n if_o they_o have_v not_o real_a remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n blood_n that_o be_v shed_v upon_o the_o cross_n without_o he_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o pag._n 13_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o do_v not_o tell_v you_o by_o who_o eve_n conceive_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n but_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o by_o who_o eve_n conceive_v it_o be_v by_o the_o serpent_n who_o have_v a_o conception_n in_o her_o soul_n when_o his_o

in_o the_o fall_n and_o have_v be_v captivate_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n as_o they_o be_v and_o you_o also_o write_v against_o i_o because_o i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o christ_n now_o do_v not_o the_o true_a christ_n say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v false_a christ_n and_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n who_o be_v one_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n and_o be_v there_o not_o two_o spirit_n two_o power_n two_o god_n two_o prince_n two_o mystery_n and_o be_v not_o the_o one_o light_n and_o the_o other_o darkness_n the_o one_o be_v call_v the_o true_a
