Chapter II.—The true doctrine respecting God and Christ.
For Moses, the faithful servant of God, when he said, “The Lord thy God is one Lord,”737
and thus proclaimed that there was only one God, did yet forthwith confess also our Lord
when he said, “The Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone from the
Lord.”738 And again, “And God739 said, Let Us make man after our image: and so God made
man, after the image of God made He him.”740 And further, “In the image of God made He
man.”741 And that [the Son of God] was to be made man, [Moses shows when] he says, “A
prophet shall the Lord raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me.”742
