‘The Arche, fays the Index Maker , was made byGod the Father, according to St. Peter. And ledthis Arian Hint should not be sufficiently under-stood, it immediately follows that Chriji is Jlyledthe Arche by St. Paul. He should however havesaid according to PJ’eudo-Peter. For the Sayingis found in an apocryphal Piece, called the Preach-ing of Peter-, and even there, probably, signifiesnothing personal-, as I have shewn above.

Paul thanks God for having baptized so few.In common Justice to St. Paul, he should have saidfor having baptized so sew of the Corinthians. Forwith Respect: to them only it was, that he thusthanked God , and that for a particular Reason, viz.lest it should be said, that he baptized in his ownName.

Christ had essential Life from the Father. Herethe Editor is orthodox, without knowing or de-signing it. For essential Life, is but another Ex-pression for essential Divinity. Whereas it wasplainly his Intention, by this and many other In-stances. which follow, to represent Chris, as a Be-ing naturally dependent and precarious. In Prose-cution of which View it is, that the Index is whol-ly silent about his being commanded to be ho?iour-ed , even as Men honour the Father, his makinghimself equal with God , his claiming all that theFather hath as his, his being called God and over allGod , blefed for ever. Though all the Worldknows, that these are Matters contained in theNew Tejlament, as well as those Low Things, whichare ho particularly mentioned by him.
