Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: showing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinburgh.

For the better understanding whereof let it be remembered what I did premise in my Nihil Respondes, pag. 11. in reply to his Proposition, That which is given to Christ he hath it not as God. This (said I) is in opposition to what I said, pag. 45. concerning the Headship and Dignity of Christ, as the natural Son of God, the Image of the invisible God,
