how_o can_v this_o be_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v comprehend_v for_o as_o god_n himself_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o so_o be_v all_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n and_o particular_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n 3._o be_v there_o no_o example_n to_o help_v we_o to_o conceive_v this_o mystery_n yes_o it_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n be_v exemplify_v in_o a_o fountain_n which_o produce_v a_o river_n and_o the_o river_n and_o it_o together_o a_o lake_n for_o the_o lake_n the_o river_n and_o the_o fountain_n be_v distinguish_v from_o one_o another_o and_o yet_o the_o water_n by_o which_o they_o be_v all_o constitute_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 4._o what_o then_o mean_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o unity_n and_o trinity_n of_o god_n it_o mean_v that_o in_o god_n there_o be_v only_o one_o divinity_n or_o as_o we_o say_v essence_n and_o divine_a nature_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v in_o three_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v call_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o every_o person_n be_v true_o that_o one_o god_n 5._o wherefore_o be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o distinct_a person_n because_o they_o have_v three_o distinct_a notion_n for_o though_o the_o be_v of_o the_o godhead_n be_v most_o single_a and_o indivisible_a and_o consequent_o the_o self_n same_o in_o all_o three_o yet_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o be_v be_v not_o the_o same_o but_o each_o one_o have_v his_o special_a manner_n of_o be_v which_o can_v be_v common_a to_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o father_n be_v the_o fountain_n fromwhence_a the_o other_o two_o person_n do_v proceed_v and_o he_o have_v no_o source_n himself_o to_o proceed_v from_o and_o therefore_o he_o produce_v but_o be_v not_o produce_v the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o only_o from_o he_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v both_o from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o hence_o it_o arise_v that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v distinguish_v though_o not_o divide_v one_o from_o another_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n or_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n yet_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 6._o how_o do_v the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n he_o be_v not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v of_o his_o father_n own_o substance_n by_o his_o understanding_n for_o the_o father_n know_v himself_o by_o a_o infinite_a knowledge_n produce_v by_o his_o understanding_n a_o most_o perfect_a word_n or_o expression_n of_o himself_o which_o be_v his_o son_n coeternall_a and_o equal_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o himself_o and_o must_v needs_o possess_v the_o same_o nature_n with_o he_o because_o he_o be_v produce_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n 7._o why_o be_v he_o call_v his_o son_n because_o his_o production_n be_v a_o true_a generation_n for_o as_o the_o end_n of_o generation_n in_o creature_n be_v to_o make_v a_o thing_n like_o in_o nature_n to_o that_o from_o which_o it_o proceed_v so_o do_v the_o word_n of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n produce_v through_o the_o force_n of_o the_o father_n intellectual_a nature_n by_o the_o manner_n of_o its_o production_n natural_o express_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v understand_v which_o be_v god_n the_o father_n himself_o 8._o have_v god_n the_o father_n but_o one_o son_n beget_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n no_o nether_a can_v he_o have_v any_o more_o than_o one_o for_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o god_n then_o in_o man_n because_o no_o man_n can_v give_v all_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v to_o any_o son_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v have_v many_o child_n but_o god_n allmigthy_a do_v give_v his_o own_o substance_n so_o perfect_o to_o his_o son_n by_o generation_n as_o that_o he_o give_v he_o all_o that_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o can_v be_v communicate_v in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o be_v give_v by_o way_n of_o generation_n to_o any_o other_o 9_o how_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n he_o do_v proceed_v from_o they_o both_o as_o from_o one_o only_a source_n and_o not_o as_o make_v or_o create_v nor_o as_o beget_v but_o produce_v through_o the_o will_n by_o a_o ineffable_a way_n which_o divine_v rearme_v spiration_n 10._o what_o be_v spiration_n it_o be_v a_o breathe_n or_o impulse_n of_o the_o will_n by_o which_o it_o express_v its_o affection_n for_o the_o father_n love_v his_o son_n infinite_o as_o be_v his_o only_o beget_v and_o the_o son_n his_o father_n as_o the_o fountain_n from_o who_o he_o proceed_v they_o produce_v a_o mutual_a bond_n of_o love_n whereby_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v ineffable_o link_v together_o and_o this_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n eternal_a god_n and_o equal_a to_o both_o the_o other_o two_o person_n 11._o why_o be_v these_o three_o person_n one_o only_a god_n because_o they_o have_v oneself_o same_o essence_n oneself_o same_o power_n ownself_o same_o wisdom_n oneself_o same_o goodness_n oneself_o same_o understanding_n and_o oneself_o same_o will_n 12._o do_v then_o all_o these_o three_o divine_a person_n create_v the_o world_n yes_o for_o all_o three_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n the_o same_o power_n the_o same_o will_n and_o the_o same_o understanding_n whatsoever_o be_v do_v out_o of_o god_n by_o one_o be_v do_v by_o all_o lesson_n iii_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n 1._o of_o what_o do_v god_n make_v the_o world_n of_o nothing_o 2._o with_o what_o do_v he_o make_v it_o with_o his_o word_n alone_o 3._o have_v not_o he_o then_o need_v of_o some_o instrument_n to_o make_v it_o with_o all_o no_o for_o his_o power_n be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o infinite_a as_o that_o he_o can_v not_o only_o make_v what_o he_o will_v but_o also_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_n 4._o be_v there_o a_o infinite_a power_n require_v to_o create_v the_o world_n yes_o for_o the_o hard_a a_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o more_o force_n be_v require_v to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o and_o the_o more_o remote_a a_o thing_n as_o from_o the_o end_n to_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v move_v the_o more_o force_n be_v require_v to_o move_v it_o thither_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o to_o create_v be_v to_o make_v a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o and_o that_o betwixt_o nothing_o and_o something_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n it_o follow_v that_o creation_n require_v a_o infinite_a force_n or_o power_n in_o he_o who_o creat_v 5._o why_o do_v he_o make_v the_o world_n that_o his_o greatness_n and_o goodness_n may_v be_v see_v and_o adore_v 6._o by_o who_o will_v he_o have_v it_o adore_v by_o man_n and_o angel_n who_o only_o be_v able_a to_o consider_v the_o admirable_a work_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o by_o know_v they_o to_o love_n and_o praise_v his_o goodness_n who_o make_v they_o for_o their_o use_n and_o benefit_n 7._o what_o move_v god_n to_o create_v man_n and_o angel_n do_v he_o want_v they_o or_o do_v he_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o they_o he_o do_v not_o want_v they_o for_o see_v he_o be_v all_o goodness_n he_o can_v want_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o for_o evil_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v desire_v neither_o can_v he_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o they_o for_o he_o who_o have_v all_o get_v nothing_o so_o that_o he_o be_v move_v mere_o through_o his_o own_o goodness_n for_o be_v all_o goodness_n himself_o he_o need_v no_o other_o cause_n why_o to_o do_v good_a then_o that_o himself_o by_o nature_n be_v goodness_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o heat_n to_o make_v hot_a and_o of_o cold_a to_o cool_v so_o be_v it_o the_o nature_n of_o goodness_n to_o do_v good_a 8._o what_o be_v a_o angel_n a_o angel_n be_v a_o spiritual_a creature_n subsist_v complete_o by_o himself_o without_o a_o body_n 9_o what_o become_v of_o the_o angel_n who_o god_n create_v some_o of_o they_o remain_v in_o that_o holy_a estate_n wherein_o they_o be_v create_v and_o so_o be_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n establish_v therein_o and_o become_v happy_a and_o bless_a for_o ever_o other_o keep_v it_o not_o but_o wilful_o lose_v it_o by_o sin_n and_o so_o become_v devil_n and_o be_v condemn_v to_o everlasting_a torment_n in_o hell_n 10._o how_o many_o angel_n be_v there_o create_v the_o multitude_n of_o
divine_a belief_n surpass_v the_o force_n of_o our_o nature_n so_o that_o we_o can_v any_o way_n deserve_v it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v inspire_v it_o into_o we_o through_o his_o own_o mere_a bounty_n and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o theological_a gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v dispose_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o obtain_v the_o rest_n 5._o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o enlighten_v our_o understanding_n by_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n 6._o why_o do_v you_o say_v deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n because_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v before_o we_o can_v have_v catholic_a faith_n but_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o church_n which_o propose_v to_o we_o those_o truth_n which_o god_n do_v reveal_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v communicate_v they_o to_o other_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v to_o themselves_o in_o the_o church_n and_o they_o again_o to_o other_o and_o so_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 7._o who_o be_v those_o that_o succeed_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n they_o be_v the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n who_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n leave_v behind_o they_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o doctrine_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v teach_v and_o preach_v before_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v what_o the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o catholic_a church_n deliver_v to_o we_o that_o same_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v to_o she_o 8._o how_o be_v we_o sure_a of_o this_o first_o because_o our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v assure_v we_o so_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o his_o church_n so_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o supreme_a and_o certain_a guide_n to_o which_o christ_n direct_v we_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a religion_n second_o because_o abstract_v from_o supernatural_a mean_n reason_n itself_o do_v convince_v as_o much_o for_o the_o church_n be_v universal_a that_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o christian_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v propose_v a_o falsehood_n see_v that_o the_o christian_n disperse_v in_o so_o many_o country_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v universality_n can_v meet_v together_o and_o agree_v to_o frame_v a_o lie_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o consent_v together_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v deliver_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v so_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o divine_n call_v tradition_n which_o descend_v from_o father_n to_o son_n in_o all_o nation_n where_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v profess_v and_o when_o it_o be_v contradict_v or_o call_v in_o to_o doubt_v the_o question_n be_v decide_v by_o a_o general_a council_n which_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o catholic_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n gather_v together_o out_o of_o all_o part_n where_o the_o church_n be_v disperse_v and_o to_o this_o i_o mean_v to_o universal_a tradition_n no_o heresy_n lay_v claim_v and_o yet_o religion_n be_v so_o ground_v upon_o it_o that_o even_o all_o heretic_n must_v acknowledge_v this_o same_o authority_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o scripture_n so_o that_o we_o see_v how_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o church_n be_v even_o in_o ground_n of_o nature_n and_o abstract_v from_o all_o supernatural_a advantage_n as_o great_a a_o warrant_n as_o can_v be_v that_o what_o the_o church_n teach_v be_v that_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n of_o christ_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n have_v teach_v before_o last_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o what_o the_o church_n say_v be_v true_a not_o only_o because_o she_o be_v universal_a but_o also_o because_o she_o be_v invest_v with_o all_o the_o other_o motive_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o beget_v belief_n as_o santity_n unity_n antiquity_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o she_o be_v credible_a of_o herself_o in_o whatsoever_o she_o affirm_v lesson_n xiii_o of_o the_o creed_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n and_o

of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o teach_v we_o that_o god_n the_o father_n be_v the_o source_n and_o first_o producer_n of_o all_o thing_n have_v produce_v within_o himself_o the_o other_o two_o person_n and_o out_o of_o himself_o all_o create_a thing_n and_o this_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a because_o he_o can_v do_v all_o that_o he_o will_v and_o have_v make_v of_o nothing_o both_o heaven_n

5._o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o they_o also_o omnipotent_a yes_o and_o they_o create_v the_o world_n with_o the_o father_n but_o creation_n and_o omnipotency_n be_v particular_o attribute_v to_o the_o father_n for_o they_o belong_v to_o he_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o offspring_n of_o all_o production_n within_o himself_o from_o whence_o be_v derive_v all_o creation_n and_o be_v out_o of_o himself_o whereas_o the_o other_o two_o person_n have_v their_o production_n and_o be_v from_o he_o as_o from_o their_o source_n and_o because_o production_n of_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o power_n therefore_o power_n also_o proper_o belong_v to_o he_o who_o be_v the_o first_o origine_fw-la of_o all_o thing_n produce_v so_o wisdom_n be_v

in_o the_o creator_n for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o have_v do_v it_o 7._o why_o do_v we_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o not_o i_o believe_v god_n or_o i_o believe_v a_o god_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o believe_v a_o god_n believe_v god_n and_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o first_o do_v import_n only_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o the_o second_o i_o
