to_o be_v jesus_n christ._n where_o there_o be_v these_o two_o distinct_a proposition_n 1._o that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o messiah_n 2._o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o the_o messiah_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o you_o do_v not_o own_o these_o two_o proposition_n include_v in_o his_o word_n you_o must_v say_v that_o the_o eunuch_n though_o instruct_v by_o philip_n speak_v nonsense_n for_o it_o to_o be_v christ_n and_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v of_o the_o same_o signification_n than_o his_o word_n sound_v thus_o i_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v christ_n i_o

a_o absurd_a tautology_n instead_o of_o a_o sober_a confession_n of_o faith_n from_o this_o eminent_a convert_n and_o philip_n accept_v of_o it_o as_o a_o good_a and_o right_a profession_n of_o his_o

to_o jesus_n these_o word_n will_v force_v you_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o for_o in_o say_v he_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v christ_n he_o let_v we_o know_v that_o these_o two_o viz._n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v different_a thing_n though_o they_o meet_v in_o the_o same_o person_n and_o

that_o we_o be_v not_o unwilling_a to_o grant_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v sometime_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o of_o his_o 35._o miraculous_a conception_n also_o because_o of_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o 36._o mission_n and_o sometime_o because_o of_o his_o 33._o resurrection_n but_o then_o we_o say_v that_o these_o do_v not_o exclude_v another_o and_o high_a cause_n of_o this_o

of_o these_o two_o denomination_n distinct_o and_o proper_o we_o must_v say_v that_o one_o be_v the_o name_n of_o his_o office_n the_o other_o of_o his_o divinity_n and_o consequent_o that_o christ_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o expression_n of_o the_o same_o latitude_n and_o import_n and_o how_o indeed_o can_v they_o be_v for_o they_o have_v different_a foundation_n the_o one_o have_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o divine_a mission_n viz._n that_o of_o the_o father_n who_o send_v and_o anoint_v he_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n the_o other_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o singular_a and_o

tell_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o of_o his_o office_n and_o its_o dignity_n whereas_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o have_v the_o office_n and_o dignity_n because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o because_o none_o can_v perform_v the_o office_n but_o he_o that_o be_v so_o he_o be_v not_o god_n a_o metaphorical_a god_n as_o the_o socinian_o sometime_o make_v he_o because_o he_o be_v christ_n or_o the_o messiah_n but_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n because_o he_o be_v god_n even_o the_o true_a god_n he_o be_v the_o christ_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o filiation_n in_o its_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n imply_v his_o divine_a nature_n and_o his_o coessentiality_n with_o the_o father_n he_o will_v here_o wind_v in_o p._n 23._o the_o late_a archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n as_o if_o he_o understand_v the_o forego_n term_n as_o the_o socinian_o do_v but_o his_o word_n that_o be_v cite_v do_v
