John10:33
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou being a man, makest thy self God .
These are not the things we are incensed against thee for; we grant that thou hast done many good Works amongst us; these we gratefully acknowledg.
But this is that which we are not able to bear, That whereas thou art but a meer man, by thy discourses thou makest thy self equal with God, and so art guilty of Blasphemy, which is committed as well by arrogating to our selves what is proper to God, as by imputing to God the Natural or Moral imperfections of the Creature; and the Blasphemer deserveth to be stoned, according to the Law of God. By this it is manifest, that the Iews understood our Saviour, affirming that He and his Father were One; as asserting himself One in Essenee with his Father, not in Will onely.
