here_o perhaps_o man_n may_v differ_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o express_v themselves_o but_o yet_o all_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v the_o queen_n authority_n and_o who_o therefore_o obey_v her_o viceroy_n command_n according_a to_o her_o will_n express_v in_o the_o commission_n can_v but_o actual_o agree_v in_o the_o thing_n and_o mean_v actual_o the_o same_o thing_n this_o comparison_n how_o imperfect_a soever_o it_o be_v do_v in_o a_o sufficient_a measure_n illustrate_v the_o matter_n before_o we_o we_o may_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n but_o by_o this_o his_o supreme_a godhead_n mean_v the_o divine_a authority_n thta_n appear_v in_o he_o we_o say_v no_o more_o than_o what_o other_o mean_v when_o they_o express_v themselves_o in_o other_o term_n namely_o that_o in_o he_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n god_n will_v not_o indeed_o have_v his_o glory_n be_v give_v to_o another_o neither_o do_v we_o ascribe_v divinity_n but_o to_o god_n himself_o for_o still_o the_o authority_n by_o which_o christ_n act_v be_v god_n own_o authority_n and_o we_o do_v not_o of_o our_o own_o accord_n or_o without_o god_n warrant_n assert_v it_o to_o be_v in_o christ_n now_o when_o god_n say_v he_o will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n to_o another_o the_o meaning_n visible_o be_v this_o that_o he_o will_v not_o that_o man_n of_o themselves_o and_o according_a to_o their_o own_o fancy_n shall_v dispose_v of_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o as_o for_o god_n himself_o he_o may_v communicate_v of_o his_o own_o without_o do_v any_o wrong_n and_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o he_o never_o will_v thus_o communicate_v himself_o he_o have_v not_o tie_v his_o own_o hand_n the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o himself_o may_v do_v but_o what_o his_o creature_n be_v not_o to_o presume_v of_o themselves_o to_o do_v thus_o the_o queen_n of_o england_n may_v say_v she_o will_v not_o give_v her_o glory_n to_o another_o and_o yet_o she_o may_v order_v the_o same_o honour_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o her_o viceroy_n which_o be_v only_o due_a to_o she_o which_o indeed_o terminate_v on_o her_o majesty_n wherever_o they_o be_v pay_v according_a to_o her_o order_n but_o which_o can_v not_o lawful_o be_v render_v to_o she_o in_o the_o person_n of_o he_o who_o be_v her_o viceroy_n before_o her_o declaration_n of_o her_o will_n and_o pleasure_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o the_o deliver_n of_o the_o viceroy_n commission_n notwithstanding_o this_o say_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n to_o another_o the_o orthodox_n believe_v that_o he_o have_v give_v himself_o and_o so_o his_o glory_n to_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n howbeit_o after_o all_o it_o be_v certain_a god_n have_v but_o so_o give_v his_o glory_n to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o that_o it_o still_o remain_v his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o say_a glory_n after_o all_o true_o be_v ascribe_v to_o and_o terminate_v on_o god_n though_o god_n lieutenant_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o represent_v god_n to_o we_o be_v term_v god_n because_o the_o supreme_a authority_n he_o appear_v invest_v with_o be_v god_n own_o authority_n yet_o it_o can_v true_o be_v say_v that_o we_o make_v a_o creature_n god_n or_o hold_v one_o for_o god_n that_o be_v only_o a_o creature_n for_o it_o be_v god_n or_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o supreme_a authority_n we_o consider_v and_o adore_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o in_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o when_o we_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v god_n we_o mean_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o deity_n or_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n majesty_n and_o authority_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o if_o any_o think_v it_o not_o so_o proper_a upon_o that_o account_n to_o call_v christ_n the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v most_o proper_a to_o content_v ourselves_o to_o say_v with_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n howbeit_o the_o deity_n that_o dwell_v in_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o be_v communicate_v to_o he_o as_o have_v be_v say_v be_v true_o and_o proper_o the_o most_o high_a god_n or_o the_o majesty_n wisdom_n and_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o that_o be_v all_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o orthodox_n expression_n but_o we_o do_v not_o intend_v that_o it_o be_v the_o creature_n that_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n but_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o call_v christ_n god_n and_o to_o honour_v he_o as_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n that_o god_n dwell_v in_o he_o by_o manifestation_n of_o his_o wisdom_n in_o and_o by_o he_o and_o on_o the_o account_n that_o god_n constant_o assi_v he_o in_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o office_n of_o represent_v god_n and_o act_n in_o the_o stead_n of_o god_n at_o the_o helm_n of_o the_o universe_n some_o urge_v that_o it_o will_v be_v treasonable_a to_o give_v the_o name_n of_o the_o sovereign_n to_o the_o viceroy_n on_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o whether_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o represent_v or_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o be_v uphold_v by_o the_o sovereign_n or_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o sovereign_n majesty_n appear_v and_o dwell_v in_o he_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o shall_v reply_v thus_o much_o in_o that_o case_n the_o fault_n will_v be_v only_o in_o the_o expression_n but_o not_o in_o the_o sentiment_n itself_o and_o so_o this_o will_v be_v only_o a_o controversy_n of_o word_n and_o beside_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n in_o the_o present_a comparison_n that_o in_o a_o earthly_a sovereign_n who_o be_v a_o finite_a and_o imperfect_a be_v the_o sovereign_n wisdom_n majesty_n and_o authority_n be_v different_a from_o the_o sovereign_n own_o person_n but_o it_o be_v a_o axiom_n of_o divine_n that_o every_o thing_n in_o god_n be_v god_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o axiom_n that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n upon_o the_o account_n that_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o majesty_n in_o a_o supreme_a degree_n appear_v and_o dwell_v in_o he_o or_o else_o by_o christ_n we_o mean_v both_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o majesty_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o howbeit_o as_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o honour_v christ_n as_o god_n that_o be_v countenance_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o viceroy_n be_v honour_v like_o the_o sovereign_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o viceroy_n the_o sovereign_n be_v honour_v and_o the_o scripture_n likewise_o command_v that_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v to_o christ_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o viceroy_n in_o public_a solemnity_n wherein_o he_o represent_v the_o sovereign_n may_v be_v ddress_v unto_o as_o be_v the_o sovereign_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o sovereign_n authority_n by_o which_o he_o act_v and_o which_o be_v present_a in_o he_o or_o dwell_v in_o he_o whilst_o he_o discharge_v his_o office_n if_o that_o be_v usual_a it_o will_v not_o at_o all_o seem_v strange_a or_o unreasonable_a there_o be_v yet_o this_o difference_n in_o the_o say_a comparison_n that_o a_o earthly_a viceroy_n may_v prove_v a_o rebel_n but_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o christ_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n law_n be_v god_n law_n christ_n kingdom_n be_v god_n kingdom_n christ_n majesty_n be_v god_n majesty_n christ_n do_v not_o require_v of_o we_o any_o service_n that_o be_v carnal_a or_o vicious_a and_o that_o may_v be_v term_v work_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o do_v the_o pagan_a go_n the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_n be_v worship_v by_o the_o slaughter_n of_o human_a sacrifice_n by_o prostitution_n and_o by_o other_o corrupt_a and_o immoral_a practice_n christ_n command_v we_o to_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o direct_v we_o to_o ask_v all_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o his_o name_n or_o as_o his_o disciple_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o the_o orthodox_n declare_v that_o this_o be_v all_o they_o intend_v to_o do_v howsoever_o they_o express_v themselves_o what_o idolatry_n then_o or_o what_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v here_o there_o can_v be_v suppose_v one_o will_v think_v but_o a_o impropriety_n of_o speech_n in_o say_v that_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o the_o most_o high_a god_n mean_v that_o the_o most_o high_a god_n or_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n majesty_n and_o supreme_a authority_n do_v true_o and_o proper_o appear_v in_o he_o howbeit_o the_o mean_v and_o sentiment_n of_o the_o modalist_n be_v certain_o good_a and_o now_o the_o result_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v seem_v to_o be_v as_o follow_v 1._o that_o some_o person_n may_v condescend_v to_o the_o use_n of_o unscriptural_a term_n 2._o that_o other_o who_o be_v no_o less_o sincere_a may_v
