ascribe_v to_o the_o creator_n and_o so_o be_v the_o attribute_n often_o limit_v to_o god_n only_o as_o none_o good_a but_o god_n noah_n will_v easy_o acknowledge_v this_o truth_n if_o we_o distinct_o consider_v of_o these_o attribute_n first_o the_o power_n and_o then_o the_o mercy_n all_o that_o i_o will_v observe_v concern_v the_o power_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o branch_n god_n be_v mighty_a of_o himself_o and_o almighty_a mighty_a of_o himself_o for_o power_n be_v essential_a unto_o god_n it_o be_v but_o by_o gift_n in_o the_o creature_n therefore_o god_n power_n be_v absolute_a and_o independent_a the_o power_n of_o all_o creature_n be_v limit_v and_o dependent_a i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a by_o resemblance_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o light_n the_o moon_n have_v light_a but_o it_o be_v borrow_v of_o the_o sun_n there_o be_v water_n in_o the_o spring_n and_o in_o the_o stream_n but_o the_o spring_n have_v it_o of_o himself_o the_o stream_n borrow_v it_o of_o the_o spring_n so_o be_v the_o juice_n in_o the_o branch_n and_o in_o the_o root_n but_o for_o this_o juice_n the_o branch_n be_v behold_v to_o the_o root_n not_o the_o root_n to_o the_o branch_n hereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o moon_n do_v wax_v and_o wane_v as_o it_o have_v more_o or_o less_o influence_n from_o the_o sun_n so_o be_v the_o stream_n great_a or_o lesser_a as_o it_o draw_v more_o or_o less_o water_n from_o the_o spring_n and_o the_o branch_n fade_v or_o bud_v as_o they_o be_v moisten_v from_o the_o root_n but_o this_o difference_n we_o must_v take_v that_o these_o resemblance_n fit_v our_o purpose_n but_o in_o part_n for_o god_n be_v agens_fw-la liberrimum_fw-la god_n can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n increase_v or_o diminish_v and_o withhold_v all_o power_n from_o his_o creature_n but_o so_o can_v the_o sun_n his_o light_n the_o spring_n his_o water_n the_o root_n his_o juice_n therefore_o that_o power_n the_o creature_n have_v yet_o be_v

see_v then_o how_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v mighty_a of_o himself_o and_o every_o creature_n of_o itself_o have_v no_o might_n but_o a_o tenant_n at_o will_n unto_o god_n for_o so_o much_o and_o so_o long_o as_o it_o please_v he_o but_o god_n as_o he_o be_v mighty_a he_o be_v of_o himself_o and_o he_o be_v almighty_a nothing_o be_v impossible_a to_o god_n he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n but_o here_o we_o must_v note_v that_o power_n note_v perfection_n and_o imperfection_n no_o power_n but_o want_v of_o power_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v exclude_v imperfection_n otherwise_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n impossible_a for_o god_n imperfection_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n only_o miserable_a or_o unblamable_a and_o unblamable_a be_v the_o ignorance_n and_o sinfulness_n of_o man_n god_n can_v be_v deceive_v nor_o can_v god_n sin_n both_o be_v imperfect_a miserable_a be_v all_o the_o

the_o perfection_n that_o be_v common_a to_o god_n with_o we_o we_o must_v observe_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o god_n and_o we_o for_o beside_o that_o he_o be_v almighty_a he_o have_v all_o

though_o all_o imperfection_n be_v far_o from_o god_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o without_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n he_o permit_v they_o he_o order_v they_o yea_o he_o draw_v
