Unus igitur & idem Deus qui plicat cœlum quemadmodum librum, quem Chriftus fuum Patrem confeffus eft, ipfe eft autem fabricator, & ipfe eft qui fuper omnia eft Deus, &c.

Non incognitus igitur erat Dominus Abraha, cujus diem concupivit videre; fed neque Pater Domini ; didicerat enim a Verbo Domini,& credidit ei, quapropter deputatum eft ei ad juftitiam a Domino, fides enim que eft ad Deum altiffimum justificat hominem.

God, and one Father.
But who does not plainly
fee, that in cafe our Lord
had known of many Gods,
he would not have en-
join'd his Difciples to
know but one God, and
to call him alone their
Father, &c. See C. 2. p.
276.

Therefore one and the
fame God who folds the
Heaven as a Book,
whom Chrift confeffes to
be his Father, even he is
the Framer of the World,
and he is the God over

Therefore our Lord was C. 13..p not unknown to Abraham, 283. whofe Day he defir'd to fee, nor indeed the Father of our Lord. For he had learn'd him from the Word of the Lord, and he believ'd in him; wherefore it was counted to him for Righteousness by the Lord. For that Faith which is toward the most High God juftifies a Man.

of this Univerfe, who fent

the People out of the
Land of Egypt, who in the

For who is there that C. 70. p. is not confuted by our 369.Lord? And hindred from 374. pretending that the Prophets came from any other Being than his Father, or from different Subftances? And made to own, that they came from one and the fame Father? Nor can they fay, that any Being different from his Father, made the things that are in this World.Whereby he manifeftly declares to his Disciples, that there is one and the fame Mater of the whole Family, that is, one God

the Father, who by himself made all things. See C. 76. p. 382. C. 80. p. 385.

Et fic unus Deus 427,428. Pater oftenditur, qui eft fuper omnia, & per omnia, & in omnibus; fuper omnia quidem Pater, ipfe eft Caput Chrifti; per omnia autem verbum, &ipfe eft caput ecclefie; in omnibus autem nobis fpiritus, & ipfe eft aqua viva, quam præftat dominus in fe recte credentibus, &c.

C. 22. P.

Sic igitur manifefte 433,434. oftendente Domino quoniam Dominus verus & unus Deus qui a lege declaratus fuerat: (quem enim Lex praconiaverat Deum, bunc oftendit Patrem; cui & fervire folioportet difcipulos Chrifti.)

And fo one God the

Father is declar'd, who is over all, and through all, and in all. Certainly the Father is over all, and he is the Head of Chrift: The Word is through all, and he is the Head of the Church: But the Spirit is in all of us, and he is the living Water which the Lord gives to thofe, that rightly believe in him, &c. See C. 20. p. 430.

Therefore the Lord manifeftly demonftrates the true Lord and one God, who had been declared by the Law: (For whom the Law preached as God, the fame does he fhew to be the Father, whom alone the Difciples of Chrift are bound to ferve.) See the Recognitions, L. 11. §. 37. -52. P. 512.-515.

N. B. All the Modern Ages have learn'd to call the Father, Son and Holy Ghost one God, and say, that these three Divine Perfons are the one God: Whereas nothing is plainer, as well from the foregoing Teftimonies, as from all the most ancient Creeds, than that all the first Christians knew of no other one God than the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. If we therefore trace this later ftrange way of fpeaking, fo common now in the World, we fhall not be able, I believe, to go much higher
