28._o and_o yet_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 14_o of_o john_n the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o can_v god_n receive_v any_o new_a access_n of_o power_n no_o certain_o but_o these_o word_n be_v so_o

leave_v none_o for_o man_n to_o claim_v to_o himself_o but_o that_o i_o may_v answer_v this_o doubt_n and_o make_v it_o clear_a i_o will_v lay_v down_o two_o ground_n first_o although_o god_n receive_v no_o new_a power_n in_o himself_o yet_o he_o do_v receive_v power_n by_o be_v make_v further_o know_v unto_o man_n and_o second_o by_o man_n be_v make_v further_o know_v unto_o he_o first_o by_o his_o be_v make_v further_o know_v unto_o man_n the_o reveal_n and_o discover_v of_o god_n unto_o man_n make_v himself_o more_o know_v the_o manifestation_n of_o this_o be_v say_v to_o add_v

whatever_o attribute_n god_n have_v ascribe_v to_o he_o it_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o creature_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o himself_o for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o god_n neither_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o incommunicable_a or_o communicable_a attribute_n as_o eternity_n infiniteness_n omnipotency_n immenseness_n etc._n etc._n or_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o communicable_a as_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o patience_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o these_o be_v several_a thing_n in_o god_n for_o god_n be_v one_o and_o can_v be_v more_o for_o when_o he_o be_v say_v to_o

conceive_v of_o he_o it_o be_v but_o speak_v of_o he_o according_a to_o the_o several_a work_n of_o god_n on_o the_o creature_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o sun_n make_v the_o roâ—e_n to_o smell_v sweet_a and_o pleasant_a and_o it_o make_v the_o nettle_n to_o sting_v it_o make_v the_o field_n to_o grow_v and_o cast_v a_o pleasant_a savour_n but_o it_o make_v the_o carrion_n and_o the_o

say_v the_o rose_n it_o make_v i_o fragrant_a and_o sweet_a and_o say_v the_o dunghill_n but_o it_o make_v i_o stink_v and_o be_v unsavoury_a say_v the_o wax_n it_o make_v i_o soft_a and_o pliable_a but_o say_v the_o clay_n it_o make_v i_o hard_a and_o obdurate_a yet_o the_o sun_n do_v not_o do_v one_o thing_n to_o one_o and_o another_o thing_n to_o another_o even_o so_o belove_v it_o be_v with_o our_o god_n one_o man_n he_o find_v god_n a_o comfort_n and_o a_o rejoice_v to_o his_o heart_n another_o he_o find_v god_n a_o terror_n and_o a_o amazement_n to_o he_o one_o he_o find_v god_n a_o

make_v he_o run_v away_o from_o god_n be_v god_n therefore_o thus_o various_a no_o no_o he_o be_v the_o selfsame_a god_n to_o the_o one_o and_o to_o the_o other_o and_o the_o selfsame_a action_n in_o
