to_o treat_v upon_o the_o original_n of_o all_o heavenly_a secret_n wherefore_o in_o answer_n to_o these_o difficult_a query_n i_o shall_v write_v of_o several_a thing_n of_o most_o high_a consequence_n unto_o mankind_n namely_o concern_v the_o glorious_a creator_n himself_o and_o the_o original_a cause_n that_o move_v the_o divine_a majesty_n to_o produce_v any_o creature_n sensible_o to_o live_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o of_o the_o imaginary_a lie_a creation_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o whence_o it_o come_v also_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o angel_n before_o man_n with_o the_o material_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o 5_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v be_v move_v brief_o to_o touch_v upon_o most_o of_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o public_a view_n of_o many_o already_o but_o now_o through_o assistance_n of_o the_o unerring_a spirit_n i_o shall_v handle_v they_o more_o full_o in_o remove_v many_o obstruction_n in_o the_o way_n and_o for_o more_o clear_a satisfaction_n unto_o the_o true_a spiritual_a christian_a and_o confutation_n of_o all_o fleshly_a lie_a antichristian_n whatsoever_o 6_o first_o by_o immediate_a inspiration_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n i_o positive_o aff●●m_o against_o all_o naturalist_n under_o heaven_n that_o there_o be_v a_o creator_n 7_o second_o with_o the_o same_o confidence_n i_o affirm_v against_o man_n or_o angel_n that_o this_o our_o god_n from_o 〈◊〉_d eternity_n be_v a_o uncreated_a spiritual_a person_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n 8_o three_o from_o the_o same_o spirit_n i_o declare_v that_o that_o bless_a god-man_n christ_n jesus_n so_o exalt_v throughout_o the_o true_a scripture_n be_v and_o be_v that_o eternal_a creator_n beforesaid_a 9_o four_o i_o declare_v against_o all_o literal-monger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o this_o our_o creator_n and_o gracious_a redeemer_n be_v only_o one_o immortal_a undivided_a personal_a god-man_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o in_o time_n and_o to_o all_o eternity_n 10_o five_o i_o declare_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o the_o addition_n of_o two_o person_n more_o unto_o this_o our_o only_a wise_a god_n bless_v for_o ever_o proceed_v only_o from_o the_o old_a serpentine_a antichristian_a devil_n in_o carnal_a man_n 11_o moreover_o as_o for_o those_o word_n of_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n or_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o any_o other_o divine_a title_n in_o scripture_n you_o may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v only_a variety_n of_o name_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o infinite_a godhead_n glory_n of_o the_o creator_n person_n 12_o again_o i_o declare_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n that_o from_o all_o eternity_n the_o creator_n person_n be_v of_o a_o sunshining_a fiery_a glory_n of_o sensible_a heavenly_a motion_n light_n heat_n voice_n and_o speech_n and_o his_o divine_a person_n be_v swift_a than_o thought_n 13_o moreover_o all_o variety_n of_o divine_a excellency_n as_o a_o crystal_n sea_n do_v infinite_o reign_v in_o his_o heavenly_a person_n as_o namely_o pure_a spiritual_a faith_n his_o almighty_a power_n or_o heavenly_a love_n his_o ravish_a glory_n or_o any_o other_o divine_a virtue_n that_o can_v be_v name_v 14_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a may_v undoubted_o know_v that_o from_o all_o eternity_n the_o creator_n possess_v his_o heavenly_a joy_n or_o new_a glory_n by_o himself_o alone_o when_o no_o create_a be_v sensible_o appear_v to_o behold_v his_o excellent_a majesty_n 15_o by_o true_a inspiration_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n i_o positive_o affirm_v that_o the_o principal_a motion_n of_o all_o variety_n of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n joy_n or_o glory_n which_o the_o creator_n foresee_v he_o shall_v eternal_o possess_v natural_o spring_v in_o he_o from_o a_o incomprehensible_a knowledge_n of_o his_o own_o endless_a infiniteness_n 16_o or_o from_o a_o perfect_a understanding_n of_o a_o eternal_a increase_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o glorious_a excellency_n to_o solace_v himself_o withal_o and_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n that_o shall_v be_v c●●●ted_v by_o he_o 17_o if_o the_o creator_n shall_v be_v a_o infinite_a formless_a spirit_n as_o some_o man_n vain_o imagine_v my_o spiritual_a brethren_n you_o know_v then_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o spirit_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n to_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o fix_v his_o understanding_n upon_o any_o such_o spiritual_a creator_n 18_o you_o know_v that_o no_o man_n can_v describe_v the_o form_n of_o a_o invisible_a spirit_n whether_o it_o be_v finit_a or_o infinite_a unless_o it_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o body_n or_o person_n 19_o moreover_o you_o know_v also_o that_o no_o man_n or_o angel_n can_v be_v make_v able_a in_o the_o least_o to_o comprehend_v the_o nature_n of_o any_o spirit_n whatsoever_o that_o want_v a_o distinct_a body_n or_o person_n of_o its_o own_o to_o inhabit_v in_o 20_o therefore_o you_o can_v but_o understand_v that_o the_o creator_n of_o mankind_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o substantial_a glorious_a person_n and_o not_o a_o nonsubstantial_a formless_a spirit_n as_o beforesaid_a 21_o again_o notwithstanding_o every_o divine_a virtue_n in_o the_o creator_n person_n be_v infinite_a yet_o by_o inspiration_n from_o his_o own_o spirit_n i_o positive_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o kind_n of_o reason_n in_o he_o 22_o wh●●ever_v the_o learned_a man_n of_o this_o world_n have_v ●ong_o imagine_v concern_v pure_a reason_n be_v the_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n they_o be_v utter_o dark_a concern_v a_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o creator_n divine_a nature_n or_o personal_a glory_n in_o the_o least_o 23_o i_o declare_v from_o the_o true_a god_n that_o all_o those_o man_n that_o call_v pure_a reason_n god_n divine_a nature_n if_o they_o understand_v no_o other_o light_n before_o ●●ath_v seize_v on_o they_o they_o shall_v find_v their_o imaginary_a reason_n nothing_o else_o but_o a_o dark_a torment_a fiery_a devil_n of_o burn_a envy_n in_o their_o own_o body_n at_o the_o great_a day_n even_o against_o the_o creator_n himself_o and_o his_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n for_o everlasting_a 24_o for_o this_o i_o say_v from_o the_o lord_n unto_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a the_o very_a nature_n of_o reason_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o pure_a be_v nothing_o else_o but_o mere_a desire_n therefore_o you_o may_v know_v that_o if_o the_o creator_n himself_o shall_v have_v any_o desire_n in_o his_o spirit_n there_o will_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o want_n in_o he_o 25_o for_o if_o his_o nature_n be_v all_o variety_n of_o heavenly_a satisfaction_n in_o itself_o as_o it_o be_v what_o rational_a desire_n can_v find_v place_n in_o such_o a_o infinite_a fullness_n of_o divine_a glory_n 26_o moreover_o my_o spiritual_a brethren_n what_o be_v the_o principal_a ground_n of_o all_o antichristian_a darkness_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o solomon-like_a man_n in_o reference_n to_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o his_o divine_a nature_n be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o think_v to_o apprehend_v the_o true_a god_n by_o a_o false_a light_n which_o they_o vain_o call_v pure_a reason_n 27_o what_o be_v this_o which_o worldly_a man_n call_v pure_a reason_n be_v it_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o proud_a angelical_a serpent_n devil_n in_o they_o which_o by_o its_o own_o natural_a strength_n continual_o strive_v to_o find_v out_o the_o tree_n of_o eternal_a life_n that_o they_o may_v cure_v themselves_o of_o their_o deadly_a wound_n of_o soul_n arise_v from_o all_o their_o spiritual_a and_o fleshly_a rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o man_n 28_o again_o do_v the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o creator_n run_v in_o the_o line_n of_o pure_a reason_n or_o pure_a faith_n in_o the_o scripture_n 29_o be_v there_o any_o say_n in_o scripture_n that_o god_n divine_a nature_n be_v pure_a reason_n or_o by_o pure_a reason_n we_o know_v the_o true_a god_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_a indeed_o i_o have_v read_v scripture_n that_o say_v by_o faith_n the_o apostle_n know_v the_o world_n be_v make_v and_o by_o faith_n they_o know_v their_o mortal_a body_n shall_v be_v raise_v immortal_a body_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o appear_v of_o christ_n in_o his_o glory_n but_o as_o beforesaid_a i_o never_o read_v or_o hear_v any_o spiritual_a wise_a man_n say_v that_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o eternity_n be_v understand_v by_o man_n pure_a reason_n no_o nor_o angel_n that_o behold_v the_o glorious_a creator_n face_n to_o face_n it_o be_v write_v with_o thou_o be_v the_o well_o of_o life_n and_o in_o thy_o light_n shall_v we_o see_v light_n it_o be_v also_o write_v that_o man_n be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o by_o faith_n man_n be_v justify_v before_o the_o creator_n and_o in_o their_o own_o spirit_n and_o that_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a
