A. The Scriptures fully prove Christ to be God, and one God with the Father: The form of Baptism proveth it. There be some Learned Men that to reconcile this Controversy, say, That Christ hath Three Natures, 1. The Divine: 2. A Super-angelical: 3. A Humane. And that God the Eternal Word, did first of all produce the most perfect of all his Creatures, above Angels, like an Universal Soul, and the God-Head uniting it self to this, did by this produce all other Creatures; and at least did in and by this Unite it self hypostatically to the humane Nature of Christ. They think divers Texts do favour this threefold Nature; and that the Arians erred only by noting the Superangelical Nature, and not noting the Divine united to it. But I dare not own so great a point, which I find not that the Universal Church ever owned; nor do I see any cogent Proof of it in the Scripture.p
