godhead_n be_v distinguish_v into_o three_o distinct_a person_n s._n then_o you_o will_v that_o i_o shall_v believe_v unity_n trinity_n in_o unity_n three_o to_o be_v in_o one_o and_o one_o to_o be_v in_o three_o that_o be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o divine_a essence_n and_o one_o divine_a essence_n in_o three_o person_n f._n yea_o true_o and_o that_o in_o this_o trinity_n there_o be_v the_o

whereof_o i_o have_v take_v no_o mean_a instruction_n and_o comfort_n now_o tell_v i_o father_n i_o beseech_v you_o how_o god_n be_v call_v the_o father_n f._n father_n god_n be_v call_v the_o father_n although_o god_n be_v the_o common_a father_n the_o creator_n the_o author_n the_o governor_n and_o the_o susteyner_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o here_o he_o be_v call_v a_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o son_n who_o he_o have_v beget_v before_o all_o world_n very_a god_n of_o very_a god_n s._n how_o be_v he_o call_v the_o son_n f._n son_n god_n the_o son_n he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n in_o two_o respect_n first_o as_o have_v a_o relation_n to_o the_o father_n of_o who_o he_o be_v beget_v to_o who_o and_o with_o who_o he_o be_v coessential_a coequal_a and_o coeternall_a second_o in_o that_o he_o become_v man_n and_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n s._n man_n the_o son_n be_v make_v a_o perfect_a man_n and_o be_v the_o son_n a_o perfect_a man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a god_n f._n yea_o for_o as_o he_o be_v perfect_a god_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n his_o father_n so_o be_v he_o perfect_a man_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n his_o mother_n s._n so_o than_o you_o say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o reasonable_a soul_n as_o he_o have_v a_o humane_a body_n for_o this_o necessary_o follow_v f._n yea_o for_o as_o a_o perfect_a man_n consist_v both_o of_o a_o humane_a body_n and_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n so_o thou_o must_v believe_v that_o this_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n have_v not_o only_o such_o a_o body_n but_o also_o such_o a_o soul_n as_o he_o be_v man_n s._n and_o be_v that_o his_o divine_a nature_n combine_v with_o his_o humane_a nature_n in_o this_o person_n f._n yea_o doubtless_o christ_n the_o godhead_n and_o manhood_n conjoin_v in_o one_o christ_n and_o thereof_o be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o become_v one_o christ_n s._n who_o be_v his_o mother_n as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o who_o be_v his_o father_n as_o he_o be_v man_n f._n be_v he_o be_v god_n he_o have_v no_o mother_n and_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o have_v no_o father_n s._n and_o yet_o he_o have_v both_o father_n and_o mother_n must_v i_o not_o believe_v so_o father_n yes_o for_o as_o he_o be_v christ_n he_o have_v god_n his_o father_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o virgin_n his_o mother_n on_o earth_n s._n how_o then_o be_v he_o

f._n so_o be_v it_o indeed_o howbeit_o with_o god_n it_o be_v nothing_o impossible_a s._n ghost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n how_o be_v god_n call_v the_o holy_a spirit_n f._n not_o only_o in_o that_o he_o be_v that_o spiritual_a essence_n but_o also_o in_o that_o he_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o virtue_n and_o grace_n wherein_o he_o be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n s._n what_o be_v that_o holy_a spirit_n then_o f._n that_o divine_a person_n in_o the_o trinity_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n to_o who_o and_o with_o who_o he_o he_o be_v both_o coeternall_a and_o coessenciall_a which_o replenish_v the_o faithful_a with_o all_o good_a thing_n s._n then_o this_o i_o learn_v that_o the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a trinity_n not_o make_v nor_o create_v the_o son_n be_v the_o second_o person_n beget_v of_o the_o father_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o three_o person_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n f._n thou_o say_v well_o and_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o thou_o thus_o believe_v as_o touch_v the_o trinity_n s._n what_o do_v you_o distinct_o attribute_v to_o those_o three_o
