The Explication.
Under this question, the Common place touching the God-head of the Son is contained. Out of the words of the question an objection may be thus collected; He which is the only begotten Son, hath no brethren: but Christ hath brethren, for even we also are the Sons of God: Therefore he is not the only begotten Son of God. Answ. For answer hereunto, we must put a distinction and difference between Christs and our manner of being Sons. Christ is the only begotten Son, the natural, and proper Son of God: We are the sons of God, adopted of the Father by grace through Christ. For further evidence in illustrating this point, we are to explain in brief who are called sons, and how many ways this name is used; and, this being done, to examine who are, and are called the sons of God.
