so_o whole_a in_o all_o the_o person_n that_o they_o be_v all_o but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o so_o but_o one_o indivisible_a god_n and_o the_o person_n be_v so_o distinct_a in_o their_o order_n name_n and_o incommunicable_a propriety_n as_o these_o be_v particular_a and_o personal_a that_o the_o first_o can_v be_v the_o second_o nor_o the_o son_n the_o father_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n either_o of_o these_o beget_v or_o be_v beget_v and_o therefore_o ix._o i_o believe_v that_o the_o father_n and_o first_o person_n of_o the_o deity_n have_v be_v of_o himself_o neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o beget_v nor_o proceed_v but_o beget_v his_o son_n and_o with_o he_o produce_v or_o send_v forth_o the_o holy_a ghost_n x._o i_o believe_v that_o the_o son_n and_o second_o person_n be_v neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o proceed_v but_o beget_v eternal_o by_o the_o father_n with_o who_o he_o send_v forth_o the_o holy_a ghost_n xi_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o three_o person_n be_v neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o beget_v but_o eternal_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o son_n xii_o i_o believe_v that_o though_o the_o three_o person_n be_v distinguish_v among_o themselves_o and_o know_v to_o we_o by_o the_o name_n of_o father_n or_o first_o son_n or_o second_o holy_a ghost_n or_o three_o yet_o the_o name_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o jehova_n lord_n god_n and_o the_o like_a be_v common_a to_o the_o three_o person_n so_o that_o i_o call_v the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n god_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n god_n and_o say_v also_o that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o acknowledge_v admire_v and_o adore_v but_o one_o god_n one_o in_o nature_n three_o in_o person_n who_o differ_v real_o each_o from_o other_o in_o their_o particular_a and_o personal_a propriety_n but_o from_o the_o essence_n only_o formal_o by_o divers_a manner_n or_o fashion_n of_o subsist_v xiii_o so_o that_o in_o th'unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n i_o believe_v a_o plurality_n not_o essential_a nor_o accidental_a but_o only_o personal_a not_o essential_a because_o the_o deity_n be_v a_o most_o simple_a essence_n nor_o accidental_a for_o god_n admit_v no_o accident_n nor_o composition_n be_v a_o most_o pure_a act_n neither_o be_v the_o person_n compound_v as_o if_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n and_o another_o thing_n or_o part_n of_o the_o godhead_n but_o they_o be_v the_o divine_a substance_n and_o three_o subsistence_n or_o manner_n of_o be_v xiv_o i_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n which_o be_v not_o proper_o the_o essence_n or_o person_n therefore_o all_o god_n attribute_n or_o propriety_n belong_v to_o the_o essence_n without_o division_n and_o to_o each_o person_n with_o the_o limitation_n or_o distinction_n of_o personal_a propriety_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o wisdom_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o deity_n yea_o deity_n itself_o and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o father_n wisdom_n beget_v in_o the_o son_n wisdom_n beget_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wisdom_n proceed_v and_o upon_o this_o ground_n xv_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o essence_n be_v most_o simple_a and_o which_o admit_v no_o division_n the_o essential_a propriety_n of_o god_n differ_v not_o true_o from_o the_o essence_n nor_o from_o themselves_o but_o only_o in_o our_o conception_n which_o be_v weak_a and_o our_o understanding_n finit_fw-la borrow_v the_o assistance_n of_o many_o distinct_a act_n thought_n sight_n to_o know_v in_o part_n the_o incomprehensible_a god_n xvi_o to_o speak_v then_o proper_o i_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o god_n many_o attribute_n except_o the_o personal_a propriety_n of_o beget_v etc._n etc._n but_o one_o only_a which_o be_v the_o essence_n itself_o by_o which_o god_n be_v eternal_a great_a wise_a just_a etc._n etc._n and_o so_o eternity_n itself_o power_n wisdom_n justice_n etc._n etc._n yet_o so_o that_o i_o conceive_v not_o that_o his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n love_n and_o hatred_n etc._n etc._n differ_v in_o themselves_o and_o from_o god_n for_o they_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n in_o god_n or_o rather_o they_o be_v god_n himself_o for_o xvii_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n essential_a propriety_n be_v in_o he_o neither_o quantity_n nor_o quality_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n nor_o accident_n in_o that_o essence_n but_o his_o whole_a and_o only_a essence_n for_o god_n admit_v no_o quantity_n by_o which_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o much_o and_o so_o much_o nor_o quality_n by_o which_o he_o be_v say_v such_o and_o such_o but_o whatsoever_o god_n be_v he_o be_v such_o only_a by_o essence_n great_a without_o quantity_n good_a without_o quality_n xviii_o i_o believe_v that_o according_a to_o our_o apprehension_n and_o to_o the_o truth_n itself_o we_o may_v call_v the_o father_n eternal_a infinite_a omnipotent_a merciful_a just_a wise_a and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o likewise_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o and_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v three_o eternal_a infinite_a omnipotent_a immutable_a true_a wise_a god_n or_o essence_n but_o one_o only_o eternal_a infinite_a omnipotent_a holy_a god_n or_o essence_n xix_o i_o believe_v god_n have_v communicate_v and_o still_o communicate_v some_o of_o his_o propriety_n both_o to_o angel_n and_o man_n as_o justice_n holiness_n wisdom_n power_n and_o the_o like_a in_o a_o wise_a proportion_n to_o their_o capacity_n and_o regard_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n but_o there_o be_v some_o so_o essential_a and_o proper_a to_o the_o deity_n that_o he_o will_v not_o and_o so_o can_v communicate_v they_o to_o the_o creature_n as_o eternity_n simplicity_n infinity_n omniscience_n omnipotence_n for_o thus_o he_o shall_v destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o make_v she_o a_o god_n by_o the_o communication_n of_o the_o incommunicable_a divine_a essence_n in_o which_o or_o rather_o which_o those_o propriety_n be_v xx_o by_o god_n eternity_n i_o conceive_v in_o part_n and_o believe_v whole_o and_o perfect_o that_o be_v he_o have_v of_o himself_o free_a from_o mutation_n and_o passion_n without_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o time_n and_o without_o succession_n of_o first_o and_o last_o past_a and_o future_a in_o who_o all_o other_o being_n do_v begin_v who_o give_v to_o all_o life_n and_o breath_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v of_o who_o through_o who_o and_o for_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n xxi_o by_o god_n simplicity_n i_o conceive_v and_o believe_v likewise_o his_o pure_a essence_n void_a of_o composition_n division_n multiplication_n for_o god_n be_v not_o compound_v of_o matter_n and_o form_n nor_o of_o gender_n and_o difference_n nor_o of_o substance_n and_o accident_n nor_o of_o any_o part_n or_o thing_n sensible_a or_o intelligible_a but_o whatsoever_o god_n be_v he_o be_v the_o same_o essential_o all_o thing_n be_v but_o one_o in_o he_o which_o in_o creature_n be_v divers_a and_o the_o trinity_n of_o person_n hinder_v not_o this_o simplicity_n for_o god_n be_v three_o by_o coexistence_n of_o person_n not_o by_o composition_n of_o part_n xxii_o by_o god_n infinity_n i_o conceive_v the_o immensity_n of_o god_n essence_n void_a of_o measure_n limit_n or_o bound_n be_v all_o in_o himself_o all_o in_o all_o thing_n all_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o all_o without_o all_o thing_n fill_v and_o contain_v all_o thing_n yet_o be_v contain_v by_o none_o move_v the_o world_n and_o yet_o be_v without_o motion_n for_o what_o be_v infinite_a have_v no_o motion_n nor_o mutation_n and_o this_o infinity_n be_v that_o we_o call_v omnipresence_n and_o ubiquity_n by_o which_o the_o deity_n be_v every_o where_o xxiii_o by_o god_n omniscience_n i_o understand_v that_o one_o eternal_a infinite_a simple_a and_o perfect_a act_n or_o sight_n by_o which_o god_n comprehend_v himself_o as_o a_o infinite_a object_n and_o by_o himself_o know_v all_o thing_n past_a present_a future_a past_a and_o future_a to_o we_o but_o all_o ever_o present_a to_o he_o xxiv_o by_o god_n omnipotence_n i_o conceive_v that_o most_o simple_a and_o perfect_a act_n by_o which_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v so_o that_o no_o creature_n can_v resist_v his_o power_n which_o have_v no_o limit_n but_o his_o will_n xxv_o god_n essence_n be_v simple_a and_o true_a can_v admit_v no_o contrariety_n or_o falsity_n and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v not_o and_o so_o can_v do_v thing_n contradictory_a as_o to_o make_v a_o man_n unreasonable_a or_o a_o body_n without_o its_o length_n breadth_n depth_n for_o this_o shall_v be_v body_n and_o nobody_o and_o the_o other_o man_n and_o no_o man_n xxvi_o i_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o god_n can_v if_o he_o will_v do_v many_o
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
