thing_n more_o than_o he_o have_v do_v as_o to_o create_v new_a world_n and_o likewise_o destroy_v his_o own_o work_n yet_o from_o his_o infinite_a power_n nothing_o must_v be_v affirm_v as_o do_v or_o to_o be_v do_v unless_o his_o will_n be_v prove_v xxvii_o by_o god_n will_n i_o conceive_v that_o most_o simple_a infinite_a perfect_a act_n by_o which_o he_o eternal_o will_v himself_o and_o all_o thing_n for_o himself_o so_o that_o god_n have_v not_o two_o nor_o contrary_a will_n but_o one_o only_o constant_a and_o immutable_a yet_o to_o help_v our_o weakness_n in_o the_o imperfect_a conception_n of_o the_o incomprehensible_a god_n we_o have_v many_o nominal_a but_o not_o real_a distinction_n of_o god_n will_n and_o chief_o sour_a the_o will_n of_o good_a pleasure_n and_o of_o sign_n absolute_a and_o conditional_a xxviii_o by_o the_o will_n of_o sign_n i_o understand_v those_o mean_n by_o which_o god_n manifest_v what_o be_v pleasant_a or_o displeasant_a to_o he_o as_o his_o injunction_n and_o prohibition_n promise_n and_o threaten_n and_o so_o i_o call_v both_o testament_n the_o will_n of_o sign_n or_o the_o reveal_a will_n because_o we_o see_v in_o they_o what_o be_v secret_a and_o hide_v in_o god_n xxix_o by_o the_o will_n of_o pleasure_n i_o conceive_v god_n only_a will_n by_o which_o he_o most_o free_o and_o for_o himself_o eternal_o decree_n what_o must_v be_v do_v i_o say_v eternal_o for_o god_n will_v have_v no_o first_o nor_o last_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o thing_n decree_v god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v decree_v that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o that_o order_n and_o succession_n we_o see_v xxx_o i_o believe_v god_n will_n absolute_a because_o it_o be_v ground_v on_o his_o sole_a good_a pleasure_n and_o depend_v in_o no-wise_o upon_o thing_n make_v or_o do_v in_o time_n but_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o whatsoever_o be_v make_v or_o do_v of_o being_n and_o action_n yet_o not_o of_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o action_n xxxi_o and_o i_o call_v it_o conditional_a because_o god_n commandment_n and_o prohibition_n promise_n and_o threaten_n have_v a_o condition_n of_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n join_v with_o they_o xxxii_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v so_o absolute_a lord_n and_o master_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o nothing_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v do_v against_o his_o free_a and_o only_o will_v of_o good-pleasure_n for_o although_o many_o thing_n be_v do_v against_o the_o will_n of_o sign_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v do_v against_o the_o will_n of_o good_a pleasure_n but_o all_o creature_n be_v govern_v and_o all_o thing_n do_v happen_v by_o and_o according_a to_o the_o eternal_a will_n or_o providence_n of_o god_n which_o consist_v not_o only_o in_o knowledge_n but_o also_o in_o government_n those_o very_a thing_n which_o in_o respect_n of_o second_o cause_n we_o call_v contingent_a or_o of_o chance_n be_v most_o necessary_a and_o so_o necessary_o happen_v in_o regard_n of_o god_n absolute_a and_o immutable_a will_n yet_o not_o by_o a_o necessity_n of_o compulsion_n chief_o in_o the_o rational_a creature_n but_o of_o immutability_n xxxiii_o as_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n such_o as_o i_o have_v describe_v yea_o far_o above_o all_o my_o apprehension_n so_o i_o believe_v in_o he_o father_n son_n holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o essence_n put_v my_o whole_a confidence_n in_o his_o name_n for_o whatsoever_o concern_v i_o in_o good_n friend_n reputation_n body_n and_o soul_n xxxiv_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v admirable_a and_o reverent_a but_o by_o this_o word_n i_o understand_v not_o only_o those_o name_n jehova_n god_n lord_n father_n christ_n saviour_n jesus_n comforter_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o divine_a essence_n represent_v i_o by_o those_o name_n i_o therefore_o tremble_v not_o nor_o bow_v at_o the_o sound_n or_o sight_n of_o those_o name_n but_o i_o fear_v and_o adore_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n his_o power_n wisdom_n justice_n love_n and_o the_o rest_n which_o i_o conceive_v in_o hear_v or_o see_v those_o name_n xxxv_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o because_o he_o be_v infinite_a and_o we_o finit_fw-la and_o there_o be_v no_o proportion_n of_o a_o finit_fw-la to_o a_o infinite_a thing_n he_o have_v yet_o in_o some_o sort_n reveal_v himself_o to_o man_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o scripture_n for_o both_o in_o part_n declare_v his_o eternity_n wisdom_n power_n goodness_n and_o perfection_n then_o concerning_o the_o creature_n xxxvi_o i_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o god_n to_o communicate_v his_o goodness_n and_o for_o his_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n make_v immediate_o by_o himself_o all_o thing_n invisible_a and_o visible_a some_o of_o nothing_o and_o other_o of_o a_o matter_n already_o create_v by_o he_o but_o natural_o unapt_a to_o produce_v the_o thing_n make_v thereof_o first_o separate_v that_o matter_n then_o give_v it_o a_o better_a form_n more_o perfection_n and_o great_a ornament_n xxxvii_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n although_o want_v nothing_o as_o be_v a_o complete_a essence_n which_o can_v receive_v no_o perfection_n by_o the_o creature_n do_v yet_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o praise_n make_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o and_o for_o the_o good_a help_n and_o felicity_n of_o the_o rational_a creature_n to_o which_o all_o other_o thing_n yea_o itself_o manifest_a the_o excellence_n of_o the_o maker_n xxxviii_o god_n be_v the_o sovereign_a good_a i_o believe_v that_o all_o his_o creature_n be_v good_a and_o perfect_a in_o their_o kind_n i_o make_v not_o therefore_o two_o principle_n or_o beginning_n of_o thing_n good_a and_o ill_a for_o these_o ill_a thing_n be_v not_o so_o in_o themselves_o but_o very_o good_a for_o the_o use_n and_o end_n they_o be_v make_v xxxix_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o trinity_n do_v concur_v in_o the_o creation_n the_o father_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n make_v the_o world_n by_o the_o son_n who_o be_v his_o word_n and_o wisdom_n and_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o power_n and_o virtue_n and_o all_o these_o three_o person_n in_o one_o essence_n i_o love_v serve_v and_o adore_v with_o equal_a affection_n fidelity_n respect_n and_o fear_n xl_o i_o believe_v that_o though_o the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v a_o fair_a glass_n to_o behold_v therein_o his_o greatness_n wisdom_n goodness_n etc._n etc._n yet_o angel_n and_o man_n only_o be_v make_v in_o god_n image_n and_o hereupon_o xli_o i_o conceive_v and_o believe_v that_o this_o image_n be_v not_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n body_n for_o angel_n be_v but_o spirit_n and_o god_n himself_o have_v nobody_o though_o the_o scripture_n for_o our_o capacity_n speak_v of_o god_n eye_n ear_n hand_n to_o show_v he_o know_v all_o can_v do_v all_o seek_v then_o that_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n i_o find_v it_o chief_o in_o the_o soul_n invisible_a and_o immortal_a substance_n have_v a_o wise_a understanding_n and_o this_o with_o the_o will_n and_o memory_n yea_o with_o the_o whole_a body_n just_a and_o upright_o beside_o that_o majesty_n and_o power_n over_o all_o these_o inferior_a creature_n by_o which_o he_o be_v god_n lieutenant_n on_o earth_n and_o so_o represent_v he_o in_o some_o sort_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n xlii_o i_o believe_v that_o angel_n be_v all_o make_v in_o god_n image_n which_o consist_v in_o their_o invisibility_n immortality_n and_o uprightness_n some_o fall_v voluntary_o from_o god_n and_o other_o do_v remain_v in_o their_o integrity_n assist_v and_o confirm_v in_o it_o by_o god_n grace_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v their_o head_n if_o not_o by_o redemption_n yet_o by_o creation_n and_o adoption_n or_o gracious_a union_n with_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n and_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o every_o creature_n by_o who_o and_o for_o who_o be_v create_v all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n visible_a and_o invisible_a and_o therefore_o without_o who_o angel_n nor_o man_n can_v be_v neither_o create_v in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n nor_o adopt_v for_o son_n xliii_o angel_n be_v thus_o confirm_v in_o god_n grace_n and_o eternal_a felicity_n i_o believe_v they_o glorious_a diligent_a faithful_a minister_n of_o god_n will_n for_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n and_o fair_a miroir_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n whereas_o other_o who_o fall_v be_v confirm_v and_o harden_v in_o malice_n do_v what_o they_o can_v against_o that_o church_n be_v in_o their_o most_o wretched_a state_n of_o everlasting_a damnation_n woeful_a spectacle_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o anger_n towards_o sin_n xliv_o i_o believe_v that_o adam_n have_v a_o will_n free_a and_o indifferent_a both_o to_o good_a and_o evil_a do_v willing_o reject_v the_o first_o and_o embrace_v the_o second_o
