In this Refutation we shall attempt no more than to consider as brief as possible, in recapitulatory Manner, the foregoing Passages quoted from their Writings.
First. They say that—"The Ancient of Days is an Infant made." I don't know a Clearer Confutation of this Error than the four of five following Verses in the same Chapter of Daniel where God is called the Ancient of days. I think it is impossible for a Person of common sense to read that Chapter through, without seeing the absolute Distinction, made between the Ancient of Days, and the Son of Man, which is an Appellation there given to Christ, and afterwards specially adapted, to him in the Gospel.
