that_o then_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o and_o whole_o convert_v into_o the_o deity_n but_o this_o can_v be_v for_o that_o saint_n paul_n in_o this_o very_a

there_o must_v be_v still_o a_o subjection_n there_o must_v be_v still_o that_o nature_n remain_v which_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o other_o other_o nyssenus_n chrysost_n cyril_n and_o other_o

and_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n make_v it_o plain_a and_o therefore_o saint_n ambrose_n oecumenius_n and_o theophilact_n do_v expound_v it_o of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n absolute_o consider_v and_o that_o it_o signify_v not_o a_o servile_a subjection_n any_o way_n betoken_v a_o inferioritie_n but_o a_o unanimous_a agreement_n of_o the_o son_n with_o the_o father_n which_o show_v their_o unity_n and_o equality_n godhead_n that_o christ_n in_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o as_o man_n shall_v be_v still_o inferior_a and_o subject_a unto_o the_o godhead_n but_o i_o like_v best_a of_o saint_n augustine_n and_o primasius_n exposition_n which_o do_v interpret_v it_o of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n which_o then_o shall_v be_v true_o subject_a unto_o god_n not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o subject_a before_o then_o but_o with_o a_o more_o emphasis_n the_o apostle_n will_v give_v they_o to_o understand_v that_o as_o ever_o before_o it_o be_v subject_a unto_o god_n so_o then_o also_o in_o that_o excellent_a glory_n when_o all_o thing_n be_v subdue_v unto_o it_o it_o shall_v be_v subject_a unto_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v as_o some_o of_o the_o greek_a

under_o his_o foot_n will_v do_v unto_o his_o father_n as_o they_o say_v jupiter_n do_v to_o his_o father_n saturn_n adibus_fw-la &_o sedibus_fw-la effugari_fw-la to_o drive_v he_o out_o of_o house_n and_o home_n he_o say_v all_o thing_n shall_v be_v subject_v unto_o christ_n except_v he_o which_o have_v subdue_v all_o thing_n unto_o he_o and_o not_o only_o this_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v

many_o other_o objection_n they_o have_v against_o the_o deity_n coessentialitie_n and_o coequalitie_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o his_o father_n but_o they_o be_v all_o so_o trivial_a that_o

shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n 3_o 1_o john_n 3_o say_v our_o saviour_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o but_o if_o thou_o love_v not_o god_n or_o if_o thou_o love_v not_o all_o man_n say_v what_o thou_o will_v do_v what_o you_o will_v lift_v up_o thy_o eye_n hold_v up_o thy_o hand_n and_o pray_v in_o every_o corner_n yet_o i_o know_v no_o sign_n thou_o have_v of_o save_v grace_n but_o here_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o love_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n will_v not_o serve_v our_o turn_n for_o there_o be_v a_o general_a kind_n of_o love_n to_o god_n which_o all_o wicked_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o be_v and_o that_o manifold_a good_a which_o they_o receive_v from_o he_o do_v bear_v towards_o god_n and_o there_o be_v a_o special_a love_n to_o god_n in_o a_o most_o vehement_a and_o a_o most_o excellent_a manner_n and_o there_o be_v a_o inordinate_a love_n of_o man_n either_o too_o much_o or_o too_o little_a or_o not_o after_o the_o right_a manner_n and_o there_o be_v a_o true_a discreet_a and_o a_o fruitful_a love_n to_o be_v show_v towards_o they_o and_o this_o be_v proper_o call_v charity_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n favour_n we_o must_v use_v no_o mediocrity_n in_o love_a god_n we_o must_v use_v no_o measure_n quia_fw-la modus_fw-la diligendi_fw-la deum_fw-la est_fw-la sine_fw-la modo_fw-la because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v love_v beyond_o measure_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n so_o as_o if_o we_o be_v ravish_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n even_o as_o the_o church_n say_v in_o the_o canticle_n stay_v i_o with_o flagon_n 2.5_o cantic_a 2.5_o and_o comfort_v i_o with_o apple_n for_o i_o be_o sick_a of_o love_n and_o so_o much_o for_o these_o three_o divine_a grace_n which_o christ_n give_v we_o to_o sanctify_v our_o
