there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o that_o opinion_n from_o this_o place_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o reason_n in_o this_o place_n it_o make_v as_o much_o for_o bow_v at_o other_o title_n of_o christ_n

conceive_v and_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n it_o be_v senseless_a to_o infer_v hence_o if_o the_o consequent_a be_v good_a that_o therefore_o we_o must_v bow_v sole_o at_o the_o name_n jesus_n except_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o jesus_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o father_n and_o not_o christ_n some_o say_v that_o jesus_n signify_v christ_n person_n but_o christ_n his_o office_n therefore_o we_o must_v bow_v rather_o at_o the_o name_n jesus_n than_o christ_n i_o answer_v i_o have_v prove_v already_o that_o jesus_n signify_v the_o office_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o well_o as_o christ_n though_o more_o summary_o and_o i_o affirm_v again_o that_o the_o name_n christ_n do_v everywhere_o denote_v christ_n person_n as_o well_o as_o the_o name_n jesus_n and_o if_o this_o distinction_n abovesaid_a can_v be_v prove_v true_a that_o jesus_n signify_v our_o saviour_n person_n christ_n his_o office_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v a_o ill_a consequent_a to_o affirm_v if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o bow_v at_o name_n that_o we_o shall_v bow_v only_o at_o that_o name_n that_o signify_v christ_n person_n and_o not_o at_o that_o name_n that_o signify_v his_o office_n see_v by_o his_o office_n he_o bring_v we_o to_o god_n and_o make_v know_v unto_o we_o the_o father_n therefore_o this_o reason_n be_v without_o ground_n and_o without_o any_o light_n from_o scripture_n the_o only_a consequent_a that_o the_o scripture_n give_v signification_n of_o upon_o this_o ground_n be_v this_o because_o christ_n bring_v we_o to_o god_n and_o reveal_v to_o we_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n therefore_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o do_v not_o say_v that_o therefore_o we_o must_v bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n and_o upon_o this_o their_o ground_n it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o infer_v that_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o father_n by_o mention_v of_o the_o name_n jesus_n only_o as_o bow_v to_o the_o father_n at_o the_o
