A90866	Theos anthrōpophoros. Or, God incarnate. Shewing, that Jesus Christ is the onely, and the most high God· In four books. Wherein also are contained a few animadversions upon a late namelesse and blasphemous commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrewes, published under the capital letters, G.M. anno Dom. 1647. In these four books the great mystery of man's redemption and salvation, and the wayes and means thereof used by God are evidently held out to the capacity of humane reason, even ordinary understandings. The sin against the Holy Ghost is plainly described; with the cases and reasons of the unpardonablenesse, or pardonablenesse thereof. Anabaptisme, is by Scripture, and the judgment of the fathers shewed to be an heinous sin, and exceedingly injurious to the Passion, and blood of Christ. / By Edm. Porter, B.D. sometimes fellow of St. John's Colledge in Cambridge, and prebend of Norwich.	Porter, Edmund, 1595-1670.; Downame, John, d. 1652.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2985; Thomason E1596_1; ESTC R203199	270,338	411

be_v behind_o of_o the_o affliction_n of_o christ_n in_o my_o fl●sh_n we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o particular_a person_n leave_v his_o passion_n insufficient_a so_o as_o

if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o sonship_n of_o christ_n and_o our_o sonship_n because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o nature_n and_o
