Sect. 13.
This consent of these Philosophers Socinus foresaw, and therefore,* 1.1 pag. 37. of this Treatise, he handle's this Sentence, The word was made fl••sh, he saith [Si ea non add••d••sset] If he had not added these words (the word was made fl••sh) some man might, and that by right, have fallen into that errour, &c. that he should think that word, of which Iohn write's, to be another thing, or sometimes to have been another thing from the man Iesus, and perhaps endowed with Platonical Philosophy, when he should see him here cal∣led God, and in the beginning to be wi••h God, (this is
pag. 38.) to make the world, &c. he should presently believe that our Evangelist was conformable to Plato, who hath writ of God some things out of which this opinion of the Trinity did flow; and presently after he saith, that other Philo∣sophers had it from Trismegistus] and acknowledgeth Iamblichus; so that he yield's that some before, and some after St. Iohn, understood this phrase of St. Iohn's, according to our exposition; but I think that he can shew me no writer, before, or after, unless Photinians and themselves, which are the same, that expounded this Text of the humanity of Christ; what concern's that verse, which Socinus apply's that discourse to, I shall meet with in its proper place; but what concern's me now, I cannot but think it reasonable, that when so ma∣ny learned Authors had philosophized with such learned discourses concerning God, his Word, and Spirit, under that language and notion, I cannot but imagine it most congruous to reason, that those divine Speculations of theirs, so far as true, should be countenanced by one Evangelist, one infallible Writer of Divine Truths, that every man might hear God speaking to him in his own language.
