1To the fifth Class belong those places of Scripture, which affirm Christ, man, to be the Word incarnate: The argument is this: The Word is a person, which both existed before Jesus was born, and now dwelleth personally in the flesh taken of the Virgin. But that Word is the Son: Therefore the Son is a person besides, and before the assumption of flesh. The Major is proved: 1. Because those things are attributed unto the Word, which only agree to a thing subsistent, living, intelligent, working, that is, to a person: For the Word was before all creatures with the Father God: by him were all things made,2 he was author of life and light in men: he was in the world from the beginning, and not known: he hath his own country and nation: he came unto it: in his name men believe: he giveth power to others to be the sons of God, by his own authority and power: he doth assume and take flesh, and is therein manifested, seen, handled, converseth, and dwelleth amongst men. The Minor is proved:3 1. Because the Word is called the only begotten Son of God. 2. Because the same properties are attributed to the Word, and the Son: For the Son is in the bosom of the Father, revealing God unto men. By him the world was created. In him is life: he was sent and came from heaven into the world. He took the seed of Abraham. Likewise the life, which is the Word, was with the Father before the incarnation and manifestation of Christ: Therefore God was even then the Father of the Word, and the Word the Son of God.
