Object. II. God hath his beginning of none: the son §30hath his beginning of the father: therefore he is not God. Ans. The son in respect of his person is of the father: but in respect of his godhead, he is of none. The son of God considered as he is a son, is of the father, God of very God. But considered as he is God, he is God of himself, because the godhead §35of the son is not begotten, more then the Godhead of the father.

The sonne in respect of his person is of the father: but in respect of his godhead, he is of none. The sonne of God considered as he is a sonne, is of the father, God of very God. But considered as he is God, he is God of himselfe, because the godhead §35of the sonne is not begotten, more then the Godhead of the father.
Object. III. The son was made Lord in time, Act. 2. 36. therefore no God. Ans. Christ as he is the son of God, was not made Lord in time, but is by nature an eternal Lord, as ⟨p. 281⟩the father. And he is said to be made Lord in respect of his condition as he is God-man, and that in time, in respect of both his natures. In respect of his manhood, because it is received into the unity of the second person, and exalted to the right hand of God in heaven. In respect of his Godhead, the majesty and Lordship whereof, he declared and made manifest in the flesh §5after his resurrection. Thus was he made Lord by declaring himself to be so indeed.
