     summary: It is unaccountable that the Apostle , who in all his Epistles sets forth the Excellency and Glory of Christ , in the most expressive Terms ; should tell us that the MAN Christ Jesus is the Mediator between God and Men , if the Mediatory Kingdom is exercised by the Divine Person or Nature , and if ( not Christ Man , but ) Christ God is the Mediator . Is not he , to whom Christ here directs his Prayer , called God ? and is he not distinguished from the Son , who is called the Messenger ? why then should he not signify here Personally , God the Father , as well as in other places ? why must Father here signify , not the Father ; but one Godhead , of which the Father is the Source ?

     summary: For here [ Father ] must not be taken personally for the Father , in opposition to the Son , and the Holy Ghost : But essentially for God the Father , Son and Holy Ghost , in opposition to that word [ Man ] of that Day and Hour , knows no Man — but the Father only ; therefore these words [ the Father only ] exclude the Son from this Knowledge as Man , but not as God. 1. That in the Scriptures [ Father ] doth often signifie God essentially , including , Son and Holy Ghost , who are of , and from , the Father .

       title: A vindication of the Unitarians, against a late reverend author on the Trinity

     summary: Sir , Give me leave to tell you , your Church and Self have by Time and Industry , given your selves such Methods to blind your selves , like the ancient Astronomers , with so many Epicicles , and blind and precarious Principles , in leading your interpreting Scriptures , that without singular Courage and Integrity lead you , I may say , the peculiar Grace of God do it , indeed 't is almost impossible to shew you Truth , you are so clouded and maz'd from it , by your own corrupt Subtleties in defending Error . This , Sir , I conceive , is the great Mystery of the Incarnation ; and this , methinks , carries some semblance of Rationality ; for if we from little Semens , may hereafter grow to the most considerable degrees of Glory , as the Scriptures assures us , surely there can be no impossibility , nor difficulty , that God should be able to reduce the most glorious of his Beings back again , and make them , as from the first Seed of a Soul , arrive to their Ancient Glory .

     summary: So that the sense here is the same with what is said , Heb. 1. 2. Whom he ( God ) hath appointed Heir of all things ; i. e. All things were originally made with respect to Christ , that they might be subjected one day to him , and he be made Heir or Lord ( under God his Father ) of them . My Father is greater than I. 1. Cor. 11. 3. The Head of Christ , is God.
