and therefore admits not of the multiplication of Causes. In all relations there is some single act which is the foundation of them, upon which in their relative notion they are compleat: and why should it not be so here in the relation betwixt God and Christ? Our Opponents tell us that Christ upon his miraculous Coneeption was the Son of God? I then ask, was he so, truly, fully, perfectly, compleatly? if so (which they by their Principles cannot deny) then what need is there of any thing further? or how doth the nature of the thing admit of any thing further? for he that is a Son already perfect and compleat cannot by any addition or new emergency be made more a Son; because the Essence of things (whether absolute or relative ) cannot be intended or remitted. We are enquiring what is it which makes Christ the Son of God? we ground it (as we should and must) upon one thing, namely upon the Father's begetting of Christ from all eternity and communicating his own Nature and Essence to him; |
