also promises of him both to be and to be performed Wherefore that name of Iehoua is properlie attributed vnto God of the similitude of which word Iupiter being desirous to be reputed for a God commanded himselfe to be called Ioue The Rabbins saie that those letters wherof that word consisteth are spirituall What the word spirit signifieth And vndoubtedlie God is a spirit and a spirit first signifieth things that be without bodies or that haue light bodies as vapors and exhalations the which in shew are light and thin but yet they are of excéeding great strength For by them earthquakes are stirred vp the huge seas are troubled the storms of wind are blowne abroad Wherefore that word began afterward to be applied to the soule of man to angels and to God himselfe for these things which otherwise séeme but slender doo bring great things to passe Others saie that those letters whereof the word Iehoua is written be resting letters and that is verie agréeable vnto God No waie to find quietnes but in God onlie For séeing we doo all séeke for rest and felicitie there is no waie to find the same but in God onelie thus much hitherto of the word Iehoua signifieth the chéefe being wherevpon Plato had that his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or essence And that this may be the more manifest some of the names of God are deriued from his substance Names deriued from Gods substance and other from some propertie Substantiall names be Iehoua Ehi that word signifieth I will be For there is no creature that may saie I will be For if God drawe backe his power all things doo straitwaie perish God doubtlesse may trulie saie so bicause he cannot faile nor forsake himselfe Names referred vnto his properties Other names are referred to some propertie of God as El vnto might Cadoseh vnto holines Schaddai vnto sufficiencie howbeit these things in God be no accidents but onlie as we comprehend them in our cogitations For whereas God is infinite and we cannot wholie comprehend him yet by certeine tokens and effects we doo in some part vnderstand of him thereof are those names which signifie some propertie of God The Iewes being led of a certeine superstition pronounce not that holie name Tetragrammaton but in the place thereof they put Adonai or Elohim and so thinke that they worship the name of God more purelie and reuerentlie but God requireth no such kind of worship And hereby it commeth to passe that in translating of the holie scriptures the Grecians for Iehoua haue made Lord as in stead of Iehoua liueth they haue said The Lord liueth And whereas in the new testament Christ is so oftentimes called Lord his Godhead is nothing atall excluded by that word as some vnpure men doo babble but is rather established Vndoubtedlie Thomas ioined both togither Iohn 20 28. My Lord saith he and my God Finallie God In Iudg. 2 verse 1. to the intent that the knowledge of him might not be forgotten hath accustomed to put men in mind of those benefits which he hath bestowed vpon them and would that those should be as certeine words expressing vnto vs his nature and goodnes And hée beginneth alwaies the rehersall at his latter benefits and of them he claimeth to himselfe titles or names attributed vnto him vnder which he may both be called vpon and acknowledged For euen at the beginning God was called vpon as he which had made heauen and earth afterward as he that was the God of Abraham Isaac and Iacob after that as the deliuerer out of Aegypt then a deliuerer out of the captiuitie of Babylon but lastlie as the father of our Lord Iesus Christ ¶ Of the omnipotencie of God looke Peter Martyr in his Treastise Of both natures in Christ set foorth at Tygure 1563. pag. 4. 3 The words which be in the second booke of Samuel the seuenth chapter In 2. Sam. 7 verse 23. Looke In Gen. 18. at the beginning And In 2. Sam. 23 verse 2. verse the 23. namelie The gods came that he might redéeme vnto himselfe a people are a sharpe corsie vnto the Hebrues which will not acknowledge thrée persons in the diuine nature Som bicause it is said Gods refer it to the opinion of men Such is that saieng of Paule There be manie gods and manie lords 1. Cor. 8 5. For neither can they admit or alow of a multitude of gods But forsomuch as the intreating here is of a singular or particular fact this place must in anie wise be vnderstood of the true God Kimhi thinketh that Dauid said Gods for honor sake euen as men also to speake the more pleasinglie and ciuilie doo oftentimes vse the plurall number in stead of the singular But if it be so what new religion entered straitwaie into Dauid Why did he straitwaie adde Thou Lord in the singular number For we must heape vpon God all the honours that we can Others had rather refer this saieng vnto Moses and Aaron who were sent to deliuer the people out of Aegypt but this cannot be for in the booke of Chronicles all these things are spoken of God himselfe by name 1. Chro. 17 verse 11. For so Dauid speaketh Thou camest to redeeme thy people Wherefore we shall much more rightlie and trulie vnderstand the thrée persons in one diuine nature The Trinitie namelie the Father the Sonne and the holie Ghost which being thrée persons yet are they shut vp vnder one substance This opinion is true sound and catholike whether the Hebrues will or no.
