Moreover in the Gospel after S. John we read that the Lord speaking to the blind whose eyes he opened, said: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? And that the blind having received his sight answered: Who is he Lord that I may believe in him? whereunto the Lord replied, Thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee. And that then again the blind said, I believe Lord, and there withal he worshipped him.
Moreouer in the Gospel after S. Iohn we read that the Lord speaking to the blinde whose eyes hée opened, saide: Doste thou beleeue in the sonne of God? And that the blind hauing receyued his sighte aunswered: Who is he Lord that I may belieue in him? wherunto ye Lord replied, Thou hast seene him, and hee it is that talketh with thee. And that then againe the blinde said, I belieue Lorde, and there withal hée worshipped him.
Therefore let us also believe & worship, let us believe that Jesus is the very Son of God the father, being of one power with the father, although in person he differ from the father. Which David testifying, saith: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand &c.
Therfore let vs also belieue & worship, let vs belieue that Iesus is the very sonne of God the father, beinge of one power with the father, althoughe in person hee differ from the father. Which Dauid testifying, sayth: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand &c.
But if we declare at large, who the Son of God is in whom we believe, 1then must we note three things especially. The first is that he is called the Only Sonne. If he be the Son, yea and that too the Son of God, then is his nature and substance, a divine nature and substance.
