Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemn League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. 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 if Christ, as he is the eternal Son of God, hath not glory by virtue of his Fathers Gift, then he hath it not by virtue of the eternal generation and communication, but fundamentally and originally of himself.
For if Christ, as he is the eternall Sonne of God, hath not glory by vertue of his Fathers Gift, then he hath it not by vertue of the eternall generation and communication, but fundamentally and originally of himselfe.
As for the other branch of Master Colemans Argument, tending to prove, that Christ as he is the eternal Son of God cannot be given, which he endeavours to vindicate, pag. 14. 15. I answer these two things:

First, Granting all that he saith, he concludes nothing against me, for I did from the beginning expound those words, Eph. 1. 22. And gave him to be the head over all things to the church, in this sense, that Christ as Mediator is given only to the Church, to be her head, but he that is given as Mediator ⟨p. 34⟩to the Church, is over all. So that the giving of Christ there spoken of, is as Mediator, and he is given to the Church only, which I cleared by the Syriac, And him who is over all, he gave to be the head to the church. But his being over all, there spoken of, if understood of glory, dignity, excellency over all, so Christ is over all as Mediator, (yea in regard of the exaltation of his humane nature,) and this helpeth not Master Coleman, who intends to prove from that place, That all Government, even Civill, is given to Christ as Mediator. But if understood of a Kingdom and Government, over all, so he is over all as he is the eternal Son of God, or second Person of the Trinity, and not as Mediator.
