the_o confession_n of_o faith_n write_a by_o sr._n francis_n bacon_n print_a in_o the_o year_n 1641._o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n first_o i_o believe_v that_o nothing_o be_v without_o beginning_n but_o god_n no_o nature_n no_o matter_n no_o spirit_n no_o essence_n but_o one_o only_a and_o the_o same_o god_n that_o god_n as_o he_o be_v eternal_a almighty_a only_o wise_a only_o good_a in_o his_o nature_n so_o he_o be_v eternal_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n in_o three_o person_n i_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v so_o holy_a pure_a and_o zealous_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v please_v in_o any_o creature_n though_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n so_o that_o neither_o angel_n man_n nor_o world_n can_v stand_v or_o can_v stand_v one_o moment_n in_o his_o eye_n without_o behold_v the_o same_o in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o that_o before_o he_o with_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v present_a the_o lamb_n of_o god_n be_v slay_v before_o all_o world_n without_o which_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o have_v descend_v to_o any_o work_n of_o creation_n but_o shall_v have_v enjoy_v the_o bless_a and_o individual_a society_n of_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n only_o for_o ever_o but_o that_o out_o of_o his_o eternal_a and_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o love_n purpose_v to_o become_v a_o creator_n and_o to_o communicate_v with_o his_o creature_n that_o so_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o mediator_n the_o true_a ladder_n may_v be_v fix_v whereby_o god_n may_v descend_v to_o his_o creature_n and_o his_o creature_n may_v ascend_v to_o god_n so_o that_o god_n by_o the_o reconcilement_n of_o a_o mediator_n turn_v his_o countenance_n towards_o his_o creature_n though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o height_n and_o degree_n make_v way_n unto_o the_o disposition_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a and_o sacred_a will_n whereby_o some_o of_o his_o creature_n may_v stand_v

of_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n and_o perfect_a centre_n of_o all_o god_n way_n unto_o his_o creature_n and_o unto_o which_o all_o his_o other_o work_n and_o wonder_n do_v
