2. If Christ and the Elect, be all one, and the same Person, then the Elect are really God himself: For the Person of Christ, is God: These men are unfit to confute the Schools who have long maintained that the very human nature of Christ, is not a part of his Person, but an accident of it; because he is but one Person, which is the second in Trinity from Eternity, and is God (of which see Derodon de Supposito.) And if we are all one God, then God suffers when we suffer, and God judgeth himself when he judgeth us: May not Men pray to such then, and Worship them as Gods, and Trust in them ⟨image 77⟩as Gods? Is not this Idolatry worse than Image-Worship, or than Anti-christianity?
