4. Consider the person by whom this title was given; by a Godly Man: No godly man would call an Idol, or a Magistrate, or a Teacher, or a King or an Angel, or any created thing above an Angel, His ⟨p. 201⟩Lord, and his God. But this was done by Thomas, one bred up in the Religion taught by Moses and the Prophets; and the chief point of that Religion was, that God is but one; Deut. 6.4. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. This was one of the sentences written on the fringes of their garments, and 'tis quoted by Christ, whose disciple Thomas also was, Mark 12.29. And explained by a learned Scribe which came to him, Mark 12.32. Well master, thou hast said the truth, for there is but one God, and there is none other but him. Now Thomas knowing this, and the first Commandment, Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. If he were not persuaded of it, would he say to Christ, My Lord, and my God?
