"The WORD was a God; there is, saith Socinus, but One God: Therefore
when the WORD is here called a God, it must be meant in a Sense of
Office, or of Mission, or of Representation, (not of Nature;) as Moses,
and others, are (confessedly) called Gods in Scripture...Socinus saw
plainly, that St. John having at first called the WORD (or the Lord
Christ ) a God; that he might equal him to Moses, (Author of the Jewish
State) who Is so called in Scripture: therefore to carry on the
Metaphor, he speaks of him throughout, in the Terms of Creation." ~Sept
29, 1694
