none other God but one He is Creator of all things In the beginning God created the heaven Gen. 1. 1. and the earth Through faith we understand that the Heb. 11. 3. world was ordained by the Word of God so that the things which we see are not made of things which did appeare 4. He is Governour of all things The eyes of the Lord in every place behold Prov. 15. 3. the evil and the good Yea and all the haires of your heads are Mat. 10. 30. numbred 5. Distinguished into the Father the Son and holy Ghost And Jesus when he was baptized came Mat. 3. 16. straight out of the water and loe the heavens were opened unto him and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a Dove and lighting upon him And loe a voice came from heaven saying Ven. 17.

Lord that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds Having their cogitations darkned and being Verse 18. strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the hardness of their hearts When the Lord saw that the wickedness Gen. 6. 5. of man was great in the earth and all the imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were onely evil continually 3.

And guilty of eternal damnation For as many as are of the works of the Gal. 3. 10.

Hath perfectly Wherefore he is able also perfectly to save them that come unto God by him Heb. 7. 25. seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them 6. Alone by himself Neither is there salvation in any other Act 4. 12. for among men there is given none other name under Heaven whereby we must be saved 7.

Apprehending and applying Christ with all his merits unto himself But as many as received him to them he Joh. ● 12. gave power to be the sons of God to them that believe in his name And Jesus said unto them I am the bread of life he that Joh. 6. 35. cometh to me shall not hunger and he that believeth in me shall never thirst 4.
