also_o much_o more_o by_o the_o testimony_n and_o inward_a persuasion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o instinct_n and_o motion_n whereof_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o discern_v they_o from_o other_o

5_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o word_n comprehend_v in_o these_o word_n book_n come_v from_o god_n alone_o from_o who_o only_o it_o have_v his_o authority_n and_o not_o from_o man_n and_o see_v this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o truth_n contain_v whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v neither_o for_o man_n nor_o yet_o for_o angel_n to_o add_v or_o detract_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o same_o word_n or_o to_o alter_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o same_o and_o hereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o neither_o antiquity_n nor_o custom_n nor_o multitude_n nor_o humane_a wisdom_n nor_o judgement_n nor_o edict_n nor_o decree_n nor_o counsel_n nor_o uision_n nor_o miracle_n aught_o to_o be_v compare_v or_o

three_o symbol_n or_o creed_n as_o the_o apostle_n crede_fw-la the_o nicene_n crede_fw-la and_o athanasius_n crede_fw-la credes_fw-la be_v allow_v of_o we_o because_o they_o be_v agree_v to_o that_o word_n of_o god._n 6_o this_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o in_o that_o singular_a and_o simple_a divine_a essence_n there_o be_v three_o person_n the_o father_n trinity_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n in_o order_n &_o the_o original_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o son_n be_v his_o wisdom_n and_o eternal_a word_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o virtue_n power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o they_o both_o the_o son_n be_v beget_v of_o the_o father_n before_o all_o world_n the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n from_o everlasting_a the_o which_o three_o person_n be_v not_o confound_v but_o distinct_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o not_o separate_v but_o coessential_a coeternal_a and_o coequal_a together_o to_o conclude_v in_o this_o mystery_n we_o allow_v that_o which_o those_o four_o ancient_a counsel_n do_v determine_v and_o do_v detest_v all_o those_o sect_n and_o all_o other_o what_o soever_o condemn_v by_o those_o ancient_a holy_a father_n namely_o by_o athanasius_n hilarius_n cyrill_n ambrose_n and_o other_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god._n 7_o we_o believe_v that_o god_n the_o three_o person_n work_v together_o by_o his_o power_n wisdom_n &_o incomprehensible_a goodness_n make_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o only_a heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o they_o contain_v but_o also_o invisible_a spirit_n of_o which_o some_o fall_v to_o perpetual_a destruction_n and_o other_o some_o abode_n still_o in_o their_o obedience_n the_o first_o as_o they_o be_v by_o their_o own_o wickedness_n deprave_a so_o be_v they_o perpetual_a enemy_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o of_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o the_o other_o be_v preserve_v by_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n be_v minister_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o appoint_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a 8_o we_o believe_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o create_v all_o thing_n but_o also_o rule_v and_o govern_v they_o and_o dispose_v also_o and_o order_v at_o his_o pleasure_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n notwithstanding_o we_o deem_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a or_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v amiss_o in_o any_o wise_n to_o deserve_v blame_n see_v that_o his_o will_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o most_o certain_a mark_n and_o rule_v of_o righteousness_n and_o justice_n for_o he_o have_v rather_o admirable_a than_o speakeable_a reason_n by_o which_o he_o so_o use_v all_o devil_n and_o sinful_a man_n as_o instrument_n that_o whatsoever_o they_o wicked_o do_v the_o same_o as_o he_o do_v just_o ordain_v so_o also_o he_o tourn_v it_o to_o good_a therefore_o when_o we_o confess_v that_o nothing_o be_v do_v without_o his_o providence_n and_o ordinance_n we_o do_v humble_o adore_v the_o secret_a mystery_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o neither_o do_v we_o curious_o inquire_v and_o seek_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o capacity_n but_o do_v rather_o apply_v that_o to_o our_o use_n and_o profit_n which_o the_o scripture_n teach_v for_o our_o quietness_n and_o tranquillity_n namely_o that_o god_n to_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v subject_n do_v with_o fartherly_a carefulness_n watch_v for_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o not_o one_o hear_v of_o our_o head_n shall_v fall_v away_o without_o his_o wil._n and_o as_o
