What danger there is to be feared, if we believe not in the Son, as in the true everlasting God, of the same substance with the father.
What daunger there is to be feared, if we beleeue not in the sonne, as in the true euerlasting God, of the same substance with the father.
The truth it self showeth a most present danger. Joh. 3. He that believeth in the Son, is not judged or condemned, but he that believeth not, is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And in the 8. Chapter, You are from hell, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world: therefore I have said unto you, that you shall dye in your sins. Moreover it is said in the 1. Joh. 2. vers. 23. Whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the father. Also in the 2. Joh. vers. 9.10.11. And in Joh. 16 vers. 3. Therefore the holy Ghost hath forewarned us by the Apostle Peter, that we should take heed ⟨p. 84⟩of these deceivers. 2. Epist. Cap. 2. There were also false Prophets amongest the people, as also there shall be false teachers among you, who shall bring in deadly heresies, denying the Lord who hath bought them, hasting unto themselves a swift damnation, and many shall follow their condemnation. Now the Lord who hath bought us, is Jesus Christ, very God and man, as the scripture witnesseth.
