than_o also_o of_o we_o all_o see_v of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o end_n so_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o limitation_n but_o it_o be_v as_o universal_a as_o eternal_a but_o though_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n concern_v his_o divinity_n yet_o not_o by_o generation_n concern_v his_o humanity_n but_o i_o believe_v ghost_n conceive_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v his_o father_n for_o the_o father_n contribute_v matter_n to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o son_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n contribute_v no_o matter_n to_o the_o be_v of_o christ_n do_v nothing_o to_o supplere_fw-la vicem_fw-la patris_fw-la but_o only_o to_o be_v supplementum_fw-la matris_fw-la indeed_o a_o conception_n which_o pass_v our_o conceive_n that_o if_o mary_n doubt_v how_o this_o shall_v be_v see_v she_o know_v not_o man_n we_o as_o well_o may_v doubt_v it_o see_v we_o know_v

come_v upon_o thou_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a shall_v overshadow_v thou_o and_o here_o now_o come_v in_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n a_o scandal_n and_o a_o stumble_a block_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o yet_o the_o mystery_n not_o more_o hard_a to_o believe_v then_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v indeed_o so_o necessary_a that_o there_o be_v proper_o no_o antichristian_a but_o he_o that_o deny_v it_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v who_o be_v the_o antichrist_n but_o he_o that_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o why_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a indeed_o for_o many_o great_a reason_n for_o his_o be_v incarnate_a make_v he_o the_o more_o to_o commiserate_v our_o infirmity_n his_o be_v incarnate_a bring_v our_o flesh_n again_o within_o the_o verge_n of_o sanctification_n but_o chief_o his_o be_v incarnate_a make_v he_o fit_a to_o be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o make_v he_o fit_a to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o be_v incarnate_a we_o shall_v never_o have_v access_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n o_o bless_a jesus_n what_o infinite_a benefit_n do_v we_o receive_v by_o thy_o be_v incarnate_a but_o what_o benefit_n do_v thou_o receive_v by_o it_o thyself_o alas_o only_o to_o make_v a_o purchase_n of_o a_o number_n of_o ungrateful_a wretch_n who_o little_o consider_v what_o great_a thing_n thou_o have_v do_v for_o we_o little_o consider_v what_o great_a suffering_n thou_o have_v endure_v for_o we_o little_o consider_v thy_o love_n thy_o patience_n thy_o humility_n in_o take_v our_o flesh_n upon_o thou_o when_o yet_o but_o for_o thy_o take_n it_o upon_o thou_o our_o flesh_n shall_v never_o have_v come_v to_o inherit_v heaven_n but_o why_o be_v the_o son_n incarnate_a and_o not_o as_o well_o the_o father_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n indeed_o for_o just_a cause_n for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v the_o father_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a because_o the_o incarnation_n be_v to_o pacify_v the_o father_n nor_o be_v it_o not_o fit_v the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a because_o the_o incarnation_n be_v to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o the_o son_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v incarnate_a because_o it_o be_v congruous_a that_o be_v the_o son_n in_o the_o trinity_n he_o shall_v also_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o woman_n so_o to_o make_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n without_o remove_v out_o of_o his_o sphere_n of_o sonship_n at_o all_o and_o here_o begin_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o for_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o conceive_v in_o sin_n as_o david_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n and_o as_o david_n so_o we_o all_o but_o christ_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o without_o sin_n and_o as_o all_o the_o

to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n indeed_o strange_a both_o or_o rather_o wonderful_a both_o yet_o as_o strange_a or_o wonderful_a as_o they_o both_o be_v we_o believe_v they_o both_o though_o but_o one_o of_o they_o be_v deliver_v here_o for_o a_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n it_o be_v record_v of_o many_o that_o they_o be_v sanctify_v in_o their_o mother_n womb_n as_o among_o other_o of_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v very_o great_a odds_n for_o to_o be_v sanctify_v be_v only_o to_o have_v a_o measure_n of_o holiness_n but_o to_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o have_v the_o whole_a substance_n make_v holy_a to_o be_v sanctify_v be_v only_o to_o have_v grace_n infuse_v in_o the_o soul_n but_o to_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o have_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v altogether_o grace_n itself_o but_o though_o christ_n be_v conceive_v without_o sin_n because_o conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o how_o can_v he_o be_v bear_v without_o sin_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o sinful_a woman_n for_o though_o mary_n be_v a_o virgin_n yet_o no_o doubt_n she_o be_v a_o sinner_n for_o why_o else_o shall_v she_o need_v a_o saviour_n as_o she_o say_v herself_o my_o spirit_n rejoice_v in_o god_n my_o saviour_n and_o can_v christ_n take_v flesh_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o not_o with_o that_o flesh_n take_v sin_n but_o be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n and_o can_v aswell_o sanctify_v the_o flesh_n itself_o as_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o make_v he_o as_o well_o bear_v without_o sin_n as_o conceive_v without_o sin_n sin_v not_o be_v able_a to_o enter_v where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n keep_v possession_n but_o why_o be_v there_o
yet_o in_o some_o respect_n they_o be_v sometime_o appropriate_v more_o to_o one_o then_o to_o another_o here_o therefore_o in_o speak_v of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o original_a of_o creature_n the_o make_v they_o be_v just_o attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o original_a creator_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v so_o true_a that_o they_o all_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o make_v they_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o that_o spiritus_fw-la dei_fw-la incubabat_fw-la the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o foment_v the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n by_o the_o bond_n of_o concord_n the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o world_n have_v not_o be_v from_o everlasting_a for_o if_o god_n be_v maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n than_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v make_v and_o if_o make_v then_o make_v in_o time_n and_o if_o make_v in_o time_n then_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v not_o make_v but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v see_v there_o be_v no_o time_n till_o they_o be_v make_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o space_n of_o duration_n and_o that_o space_n have_v be_v from_o everlasting_a and_o be_v from_o everlasting_a how_o can_v it_o ever_o come_v to_o have_v a_o end_n and_o a_o end_v it_o must_v have_v before_o

this_o for_o a_o answer_n generationem_fw-la ejus_fw-la quis_fw-la enarrabit_fw-la who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n if_o then_o the_o day_n of_o his_o beget_v make_v he_o coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o beget_v make_v he_o consubstantial_a with_o the_o father_n have_v we_o not_o as_o good_a ground_n for_o our_o believe_v in_o he_o as_o in_o the_o father_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v think_v no_o power_n be_v leave_v for_o the_o son_n the_o father_n be_v almighty_a yet_o all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o the_o son_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o though_o the_o father_n be_v almighty_a yet_o almighty_a but_o as_o god_n and_o therefore_o almighty_a as_o due_a to_o the_o son_n who_o be_v god_n with_o the_o father_n and_o as_o just_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o say_v to_o the_o son_n as_o to_o the_o father_n we_o praise_v thou_o o_o god_n we_o knowledge_n thou_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n but_o how_o can_v the_o son_n that_o be_v beget_v be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n who_o beget_v see_v that_o which_o beget_v be_v always_o before_o that_o which_o be_v beget_v but_o be_v not_o this_o a_o fallacy_n they_o be_v relative_n see_v nothing_o can_v beget_v but_o there_o must_v be_v something_o beget_v there_o can_v be_v a_o father_n till_o there_o be_v a_o son_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o father_n be_v from_o
