christian_a shall_v be_v damn_v who_o know_v not_o what_o a_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v as_o eternal_o inexistent_a when_o all_o the_o divine_n and_o school_n wit_n as_o good_a as_o confess_v after_o tedious_a dispute_n with_o unintelligible_a word_n that_o they_o know_v not_o it_o be_v the_o trinity_n as_o relate_v to_o we_o and_o operative_a and_o therein_o notify_v that_o we_o must_v

nothing_o but_o what_o you_o see_v or_o feel_v by_o sense_n for_o so_o man_n long_a use_n of_o body_n and_o sense_n be_v apt_a to_o abuse_v they_o or_o you_o think_v you_o know_v nothing_o which_o you_o know_v not_o full_o and_o so_o no_o angel_n know_v god_n by_o a_o adequate_a comprehensive_a knowledge_n how_o far_o be_v we_o from_o know_v full_o what_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n be_v

that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v such_o as_o i_o have_v before_o describe_v and_o we_o may_v know_v as_o much_o of_o he_o as_o our_o duty_n and_o happinss_n require_v 14._o q._n

have_v a_o soul_n while_o you_o perceive_v its_o constant_a act_n yet_o you_o see_v it_o not_o you_o find_v clear_o that_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n that_o have_v essential_o the_o power_n of_o vital-activity_n understanding_n and_o will._n by_o this_o you_o perceive_v what_o a_o spirit_n be_v and_o by_o this_o you_o have_v some_o perception_n what_o god_n be_v all_o the_o world_n be_v far_o less_o to_o god_n than_o a_o body_n to_o its_o soul_n and_o god_n be_v infinite_o more_o than_o a_o soul_n to_o all_o the_o world_n but_o by_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o soul_n you_o may_v most_o easy_o conceive_v of_o he_o chap._n x._o of_o god_n almightiness_n and_o creation_n qu._n 1._o why_o be_v god_n here_o call_v the_o father_n in_o who_o we_o believe_v a._n 1._o as_o he_o be_v

christ_n as_o incarnate_a 9_o 3._o as_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o the_o whole_a creation_n and_o as_o a_o common_a father_n give_v be_v to_o all_o that_o be_v 4._o as_o he_o be_v our_o reconcile_v father_n by_o christ_n and_o have_v adopt_v we_o as_o his_o son_n and_o bind_v we_o to_o love_n and_o trust_v and_o obey_v he_o as_o our_o father_n but_o the_o two_o first_o be_v the_o chief_a sense_n q._n 2._o what_o be_v god_n almightiness_n a._n his_o infinite_a power_n by_o which_o he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v work_n of_o power_n he_o can_v lie_v nor_o die_v nor_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n for_o these_o be_v no_o effect_n of_o power_n but_o of_o impotency_n q._n 3._o why_o be_v his_o almightiness_n to_o be_v believe_v by_o we_o a._n we_o do_v not_o else_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v god_n and_o we_o can_v else_o reverence_n admire_v trust_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o as_o we_o ought_v 2._o q._n 4._o why_o be_v his_o almightiness_n only_o name_v and_o no_o other_o property_n a._n all_o the_o rest_n be_v suppose_v when_o we_o call_v he_o god._n but_o this_o be_v name_v because_o he_o be_v first_o to_o be_v believe_v in_o as_o the_o creator_n and_o his_o creation_n do_v eminent_o manifest_v his_o power_n and_o though_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v almighty_a the_o scripture_n eminent_o attribute_v power_n to_o the_o father_n wisdom_n to_o the_o son_n and_o love_n and_o perfective_a operation_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n q._n 5._o be_v the_o creation_n name_v to_o notify_v to_o we_o god_n almightiness_n a._n yes_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o duty_n when_o we_o look_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o daily_o see_v so_o far_o as_o our_o short_a sight_n can_v reach_v of_o this_o wondeful_a world_n to_o think_v with_o most_o reverend_a admiration_n o_o what_o a_o god_n have_v we_o to_o serve_v and_o trust_v 16._o q._n 6._o how_o do_v god_n make_v all_o thing_n a._n he_o give_v they_o all_o their_o be_v

the_o end_n of_o all_o his_o work_n and_o to_o shine_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o greatness_n order_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o world_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n to_o understand_a creature_n and_o to_o communicate_v goodness_n various_o to_o his_o work_n 11._o q._n 10._o what_o do_v god_n with_o the_o world_n when_o he_o have_v make_v it_o a._n by_o the_o same_o power_n wisdom_n and_o will_n he_o still_o continue_v it_o or_o else_o it_o will_v present_o return_v into_o nothing_o 16._o q._n 11._o what_o further_o must_v we_o learn_v from_o god●_n create_v we_o a._n we_o certain_o learn_v that_o he_o be_v our_o owner_n our_o ruler_n and_o our_o benefactor_n or_o father_n and_o that_o we_o be_v his_o own_o and_o his_o subject_n and_o his_o benefit_a child_n q._n 12._o what_o mean_v you_o by_o the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v our_o owner_n a._n he_o that_o make_v we_o of_o nothing_o must_v needs_o be_v our_o absolute_a lord_n or_o owner_n and_o therefore_o may_v do_v with_o all_o
