What daunger there is to be feared, if we beleeue not in the sonne, as in the true euer∣lasting God, of the same substance with the father.

THe truth it selfe sheweth a most present daunger. Ioh. 3. He that beleeueth in the sonne, is not iudged or condemned, but he that beleeueth not, is iudged already, because he beleeueth not in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God. And in the 8. Chapiter, You are from hell, I am from aboue. You are of this worlde, I am not of this worlde: there∣fore I haue said vnto you, that you shall dye in your sinnes. Moreouer it is said in the 1. Ioh. 2. vers. 23. Whosoeuer denieth the sonne, hath not the father. Al∣so in the 2. Ioh. vers. 9.10.11. And in Ioh. 16 vers. 3. Therefore the holy Ghost hath forewarned vs by the Apostle Peter, that we should take heede

of these deceauers. 2. Epist. Cap. 2. There were al∣so false Prophets amongest the people, as also there shalbe false teachers among you, who shall bring in deadly heresies, denying the Lorde who hath bought them, hasting vnto themselues a swift damnation, and many shall followe their con∣demnation. Nowe the Lorde who hath bought vs, is Iesus Christ, very God and man, as the scripture witnesseth. Acts. 20. God hath redeemed his Church through his blood. Nowe therefore if so be that any do not beleeue, that he is the true God, that hath in mans nature shed forth his blood, he denyeth the Lord who hath bought him.
