coessential_a in_o nature_n coeternal_a in_o time_n and_o coequal_a or_o together_o equal_a in_o power_n these_o person_n be_v distinguish_v not_o divide_v among_o they_o be_v a_o order_n without_o

therefore_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o 16.28_o who_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v who_o 2.6_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o all_o man_n according_a to_o their_o deed_n who_o have_v

nature_n which_o have_v not_o sin_v and_o as_o far_o it_o be_v necessary_a he_o shall_v be_v a_o man_n to_o die_v so_o he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o conquer_v and_o overcome_v death_n in_o three_o word_n the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o that_o through_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n we_o have_v be_v all_o damn_a if_o god_n have_v not_o give_v we_o a_o saviour_n the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o except_o we_o believe_v it_o we_o can_v be_v save_v now_o all_o this_o be_v clear_o and_o intelligiby_o express_v in_o scripture_n so_o that_o any_o ordinary_a capacity_n may_v easy_o be_v bring_v to_o understand_v it_o and_o this_o we_o call_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v as_o to_o the_o substance_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o know_v and_o believe_v this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n for_o their_o faith_n be_v extend_v upon_o a_o messiah_n to_o come_v and_o not_o upon_o one_o already_o come_v so_o that_o till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o declaration_n who_o this_o saviour_n be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v a_o individuum_fw-la vagum_fw-la and_o they_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a who_o that_o particular_a person_n shall_v be_v wherefore_o john_n the_o baptist_n confess_v his_o ignorance_n in_o this_o point_n when_o he_o say_v 1.33_o as_o for_o i_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o he_o that_o send_v i_o to_o baptize_v with_o water_n say_v etc._n etc._n hence_o it_o be_v that_o he_o send_v two_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o ask_v he_o 11.3_o be_v thou_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v or_o do_v we_o look_v for_o another_o he_o know_v he_o by_o the_o spirit_n be_v descend_v and_o remain_v upon_o he_o this_o be_v the_o characteristical_a note_n but_o now_o there_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o be_v know_v by_o all_o who_o live_v since_o the_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v necessary_a as_o to_o the_o declaration_n namely_o that_o the_o saviour_n promise_v prophesy_v of_o and_o typify_v be_v that_o particular_a person_n jesus_n christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n son_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n bear_v in_o bethlehem_n in_o the_o day_n of_o herod_n and_o when_o by_o the_o command_n of_o caesar_n augustus_n the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v tax_v in_o a_o word_n the_o same_o that_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o who_o do_v and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n mention_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o few_o word_n contain_v in_o the_o apostolical_a creed_n this_o same_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v to_o be_v our_o only_a saviour_n and_o redeemer_n who_o we_o ought_v to_o rely_v upon_o and_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o apply_v he_o to_o we_o by_o faith_n and_o except_o we_o know_v and_o believe_v this_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o we_o as_o scripture_n do_v full_o and_o clear_o declare_v so_o that_o this_o principle_n may_v be_v infuse_v into_o the_o mean_a capacity_n si_fw-mi christum_fw-la discis_fw-la nihil_fw-la est_fw-la si_fw-la cetera_fw-la nescis_fw-la si_fw-mi christum_fw-la nescis_fw-la nihil_fw-la est_fw-la si_fw-la cetera_fw-la discis_fw-la but_o in_o the_o three_o place_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n contain_v in_o scripture_n concern_v which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o be_v please_v clear_o to_o reveal_v his_o mind_n to_o we_o as_o reveal_v thing_n belong_v to_o man_n so_o secret_a thing_n belong_v to_o god_n which_o we_o must_v not_o pry_v into_o nor_o presume_v beyond_o what_o be_v write_v 4.6_o prophecy_n be_v certain_o dark_a till_o they_o become_v a_o history_n for_o to_o understand_v they_o before_o they_o be_v fulfil_v one_o must_v be_v endue_v with_o a_o prophetical_a spirit_n beside_o prophecy_n there_o be_v other_o point_v attend_v with_o many_o difficulty_n which_o doctor_n themselves_o labour_n and_o study_v very_o hard_o to_o understand_v such_o be_v the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o thing_n that_o thing_n be_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o after_o god_n have_v say_v in_o his_o word_n they_o be_v so_o it_o admit_v of_o no_o difficulty_n out_o of_o this_o principle_n that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o thing_n be_v that_o which_o breed_v scruple_n the_o word_n be_v either_o silent_a or_o dark_a about_o it_o as_o for_o instance_n that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n in_o nature_n and_o three_o person_n scripture_n do_v clear_o set_v it_o forth_o in_o several_a place_n and_o if_o this_o truth_n be_v obscure_a in_o one_o text_n some_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n will_v clear_v it_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o scripture_n to_o explain_v itself_o by_o itself_o yet_o how_o this_o unity_n and_o trinity_n can_v consist_v together_o though_o learned_a man_n be_v able_a to_o apprehend_v yet_o mean_v person_n and_o low_a capacity_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o so_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o incarnation_n how_o the_o second_o person_n who_o have_v divine_a nature_n can_v assume_v humane_a nature_n and_o yet_o the_o father_n and_o holy_a ghost_n who_o have_v both_o divine_a nature_n shall_v not_o be_v incarnate_v and_o again_o how_o both_o nature_n can_v be_v unite_v in_o one_o person_n and_o the_o idiom_n and_o propriety_n of_o every_o nature_n shall_v not_o be_v unite_v but_o every_o nature_n shall_v retain_v she_o own_o attribute_n without_o mixture_n or_o confusion_n yet_o this_o we_o know_v to_o be_v true_a but_o can_v dive_v into_o the_o manner_n how_o this_o be_v do_v there_o be_v also_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o day_n when_o the_o great_a judgement_n shall_v be_v and_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v and_o what_o place_n heaven_n and_o hell_n shall_v be_v in_o which_o arise_v from_o vanity_n and_o unnecessary_a curiosity_n other_o question_n there_o be_v which_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o dispute_v too_o much_o about_o because_o they_o be_v somewhat_o problematical_a and_o good_a and_o learned_a man_n do_v differ_v in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v they_o as_o may_v be_v this_o whether_o there_o will_v be_v degree_n of_o glory_n and_o whether_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v change_v as_o to_o the_o substance_n or_o only_o in_o the_o accident_n all_o which_o
