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

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

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

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

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
