28_o so_o do_v thomas_n my_o lord_n and_o my_o god_n nothing_o more_o frequent_a than_o this_o so_o you_o see_v the_o point_n be_v plain_o prove_v by_o scripture_n the_o reason_n be_v many_o reas_n 1_o first_o he_o be_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o be_v and_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n equal_a with_o god_n phil._n 2.6_o he_o be_v god_n himself_o as_o the_o scripture_n show_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v true_o and_o right_o the_o lord_n of_o lord_n if_o he_o have_v be_v but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n will_v hold_v for_o if_o the_o son_n of_o earthly_a prince_n be_v earthly_a lord_n than_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o heavenly_a lord_n the_o lord_n of_o all_o lord_n but_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n equal_a with_o god_n it_o take_v away_o all_o colour_n of_o exception_n and_o put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o he_o may_v whereby_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o power_n dominion_n and_o majesty_n visible_o and_o sensible_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n more_o than_o in_o any_o of_o the_o other_o person_n for_o howsoever_o god_n the_o father_n be_v lord_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v lord_n yet_o in_o god_n the_o son_n the_o lord_n have_v visible_o and_o sensible_o manifest_v his_o power_n to_o we_o more_o than_o in_o any_o of_o the_o other_o person_n and_o so_o he_o have_v be_v most_o plain_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 15.47_o reas_n 3_o three_o his_o work_n prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n whatsoever_o belong_v to_o a_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v do_v and_o he_o have_v do_v that_o which_o none_o can_v do_v but_o the_o lord_n of_o lord_n who_o can_v have_v do_v such_o miracle_n as_o he_o do_v but_o the_o lord_n only_o and_o what_o belong_v to_o a_o lord_n to_o do_v but_o to_o overcome_v his_o enemy_n and_o triumph_v over_o they_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v over_o all_o as_o he_o will_v himself_o this_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v he_o have_v overcome_v death_n and_o destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o triumph_v over_o sin_n and_o hell_n and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o make_v his_o enemy_n his_o footstool_n therefore_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n his_o resurrection_n ascention_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n his_o father_n his_o quicken_a who_o he_o will_v execute_v judgement_n by_o his_o power_n his_o send_v down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o return_v to_o judgement_n at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o give_v sentence_n on_o all_o flesh_n all_o these_o be_v so_o many_o cognisance_n and_o badge_n that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o reas_n 4_o four_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n by_o the_o appointment_n and_o assignment_n of_o his_o father_n act._n 2.36_o god_n have_v make_v he_o both_o lord_n and_o christ_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o nature_n but_o of_o his_o lordly_a office_n the_o office_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n and_o hence_o he_o have_v a_o large_a patent_n and_o a_o absolute_a authority_n give_v he_o math._n 28.18_o all_o power_n be_v give_v i_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o john_n 5.22.27_o the_o father_n judge_v no_o man_n but_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n and_o have_v give_v he_o power_n to_o execute_v judgement_n in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man._n and_o that_o which_o agree_v most_o to_o this_o in_o hand_n be_v in_o phil._n 2.9_o 10_o 11._o wherefore_o god_n have_v high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o every_o name_n that_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v both_o of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o thing_n in_o earth_n and_o thing_n under_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o every_o tongue_n shall_v confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o lord_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o father_n he_o obtain_v this_o lordship_n by_o his_o mediatorship_n and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o lordship_n as_o all_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o under_o the_o earth_n do_v acknowledge_v reas_n 1_o now_o the_o particular_a reason_n why_o he_o be_v lord_n special_o of_o his_o church_n be_v these_o two_o first_o because_o he_o redeem_v they_o he_o buy_v the_o church_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n act._n 20.28_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o name_n lord_n be_v this_o when_o any_o be_v take_v prisoner_n and_o captive_n he_o that_o redeem_v and_o ransom_v they_o be_v call_v their_o lord_n and_o they_o be_v his_o servant_n we_o be_v captive_n unto_o sin_n and_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o christ_n he_o redeem_v and_o ransom_v we_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o we_o be_v his_o servant_n
