Again, where the Lord in the tenth chapter said: I and my father are one, then the Jews toke up stones to stone him withal: But Jesus answered. Many good works have I done unto you, for which of them do ye stone me? To which the Jews replied: For thy good works sake we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemy, & because thou being a man makest thy self God.
Againe, where the Lord in the tenth chapiter saide: I and my father are one, then the Iewes toke vp stones to stone him withal: But Iesus aunswered. Many good workes haue I done vnto you, for which of them doe yee stone mee? To which the Iewes replied: For thy good workes sake wee stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, & because thou being a man makest thy self God.
These are most evident testimonies of the natural Godhead of Christ, which whosoever believeth not, he hath not the father. For he that honoureth the Son, honoureth the father: and he that is without the Son hath not the father: and unless the Son were God by Nature, he could not be the Saviour of the world.
These are most euidente testimonies of the natural Godhead of Christ, which whosoeuer belieueth not, hee hath not the father. For hee that honoureth the sonne, honoureth the father: and hee that is withoute the sonne hath not the father: and vnlesse the sonne were God by Nature, hée coulde not be the Sauiour of the worlde.
Now the second thing that is to be 1marked is that the name of the only begotten Son of God is opened, and he is called Jesus Christ. The name is expressly set down, ye we may know who it is in whom we believe, lest peradventure we might be deceived in the person. It is Jesus: which name was given unto him by Gods appointment from heaven, even as also it was prefigured in Duke Joshua, and in Joshua, the high priest. The Angel in the Gospel after S. Matthew instructing Joseph saith: Mary shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.
