There is nothing impossible or absurd in the doctrine of the INCARNATION of Christ. "If God can join a body and a rational soul together, which [are] of natures so heterogene and opposite, that they cannot of themselves act one upon another, may he not be able to join two spirits together, which are of natures more similar? […] And if so, He may, for ought we know to the contrary, join the soul or spirit of a man to Himself…. Had reason been so clear in it, that a God cannot be incarnate, as many pretend, it could never have suffered such a notion to gain ground, and possess the minds of so many nations, nay, and of Julian himself, who says, that Jupiter begot Æsculapius out of his own proper substance, and sent him down to Epidaurus to heal the distempers of mankind. Reason did not hinder Spinoza, Blount, and many other modern philosophers, from asserting, that God may have a body; or rather, that the universe, or the matter of the universe, is God…. Many nations believed the incarnation of Jupiter himself…. Reason, instead of being utterly averse to the notion of a divine incarnation, hath easily enough admitted that notion, and suffered it to pass, almost without contradiction, upon the most philosophical nations of the world."
