a_o communion_n of_o saint_n a_o company_n of_o faithful_a people_n than_o it_o easy_o follow_v in_o my_o persuasion_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n leave_v not_o this_o society_n in_o confusion_n for_o every_o man_n to_o do_v and_o teach_v when_o and_o what_o he_o list_v as_o though_o all_o christian_n upon_o their_o baptism_n have_v present_o power_n give_v they_o to_o govern_v teach_v and_o ordain_v in_o the_o church_n as_o they_o shall_v see_v occasion_n but_o that_o our_o saviour_n leave_v this_o power_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o they_o leave_v their_o authority_n to_o set_v thing_n in_o order_n that_o shall_v be_v want_v in_o the_o church_n upon_o emergent_a occasion_n and_o to_o ordain_v priest_n in_o every_o city_n not_o to_o all_o

ephesus_n and_o to_o st._n titus_n in_o crect_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o they_o only_o that_o be_v the_o bishop_n be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o have_v this_o authority_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o ordination_n who_o can_v derive_v it_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o prove_v themselves_o in_o these_o very_a thing_n to_o be_v the_o apostle_n successor_n q._n what_o do_v you_o chief_o learn_v out_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n 1._o i_o learn_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n who_o have_v make_v i_o and_o all_o the_o world_n 2._o in_o god_n the_o son_n who_o

three_o person_n q._n what_o do_v you_o mean_v by_o a_o person_n a._n a_o person_n be_v one_o who_o have_v his_o own_o subsistence_n which_o no_o other_o beside_o have_v proper_a to_o himself_o q._n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o essence_n a._n with_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o not_o with_o god_n indeed_o this_o be_v such_o a_o high_a and_z and_o dreadful_a mystery_n that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o say_v any_o more_o of_o it_o but_o that_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o that_o there_o be_v three_o in_o one_o the_o father_n be_v make_v of_o none_o as_o it_o be_v in_o st._n athanasius_n his_o creed_n the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o and_o the_o holyghost_n be_v of_o both_o and_o by_o these_o several_a property_n they_o

property_n which_o cause_v the_o same_o perrson_n real_o and_o true_o to_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o two_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v i_o can_v say_v you_o need_v not_o nay_o you_o must_v not_o search_v only_o believe_v q._n out_o of_o what_o word_n in_o the_o creed_n do_v you_o learn_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n who_o have_v make_v you_o and_o all_o the_o world_n a._n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o first_o article_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_n maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n q._n what_o do_v you_o

and_o invisible_a q._n do_v you_o not_o believe_v that_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v also_o almighty_a and_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n a._n yes_o for_o as_o we_o say_v the_o

father_n almighty_n maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o we_o attribute_v wisdom_n to_o the_o son_n because_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a word_n of_o the_o father_n and_o goodness_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o be_v the_o love_n of_o they_o both_o yet_o indeed_o these_o and_o all_o other_o outward_a action_n and_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n q._n in_o what_o article_n do_v you_o learn_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o son_n who_o have_v redeem_a
