divinity_n you_o know_v that_o divinity_n acknowledge_v and_o reverence_v in_o god_n three_o principal_a perfection_n power_n wisdom_n goodness_n you_o know_v that_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o

because_o he_o be_v the_o source_n and_o origin_n of_o divinity_n wisdom_n to_o the_o son_n because_o he_o be_v beget_v by_o the_o way_n of_o understanding_n and_o of_o knowledge_n goodness_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o way_n of_o will_n and_o love_n these_o be_v three_o divine_a person_n which_o inseparable_o and_o indivisible_o applyd_v themselves_o to_o the_o creation_n to_o the_o conservation_n and_o to_o the_o government_n of_o the_o univers_n these_o be_v the_o three_o finger_n of_o god_n as_o the_o prophet_n i_o say_v call_v they_o who_o sustain_v conserve_n and_o govern_v the_o world_n those_o be_v their_o three_o infinite_a perfection_n which_o be_v apply_v unto_o this_o work_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o which_o the_o world_n be_v draw_v we_o shall_v admire_v a_o infinite_a power_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o manner_n in_o which_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v we_o shall_v acknowledge_v a_o

infinite_a power_n for_o if_o there_o be_v so_o excellent_a a_o workman_n that_o can_v make_v a_o cup_n of_o gold_n of_o a_o lump_n of_o silver_n he_o will_v be_v admire_v but_o if_o he_o shall_v

more_o if_o he_o make_v it_o of_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n but_o if_o he_o make_v it_o of_o a_o grain_n of_o sand_n he_o will_v pass_v for_o a_o demi_a god_n and_o we_o will_v say_v that_o his_o power_n be_v almost_o infinite_a ought_v he_o not_o than_o to_o be_v god_n indeed_o and_o to_o have_v a_o power_n entire_o infinite_a for_o to_o make_v not_o a_o cup_n of_o gold_n but_o heaven_n and_o earth_n angel_n and_o man_n and_o all_o the_o other_o creature_n and_o to_o make_v they_o of_o nothing_o as_o our_o god_n do_v who_o we_o confess_v in_o this_o article_n to_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n 5._o if_o his_o divinity_n and_o his_o infinite_a omnipotency_n appear_v so_o clear_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o he_o make_v the_o world_n his_o divinity_n and_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n appear_v yet_o more_o in_o the_o manner_n by_o which_o he_o govern_v it_o this_o wisdom_n say_v i_o shine_v so_o bright_o in_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o univers_n that_o we_o need_v not_o but_o to_o open_v our_o eye_n for_o to_o see_v it_o as_o clear_a as_o the_o day_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o heaven_n turn_v about_o we_o in_o so_o regular_a so_o constant_a and_o so_o unvariable_a a_o order_n that_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n serve_v we_o by_o quarter_n and_o that_o they_o succeed_v one_o another_o with_o a_o vicissitude_n so_o proportion_v to_o our_o life_n we_o see_v that_o the_o animal_n that_o have_v not_o judgement_n and_o also_o that_o the_o plant_n which_o have_v not_o sense_n perform_v all_o their_o function_n with_o so_o much_o industry_n and_o perfection_n and_o commodity_n for_o our_o service_n as_o if_o they_o have_v judgement_n all_o this_o make_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o the_o univers_n a_o sovereign_a wisdom_n a_o divine_a spirit_n most_o intelligent_a and_o most_o provident_a who_o rule_v govern_v and_o direct_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o who_o by_o a_o ineffable_a goodness_n oblige_v they_o to_o serve_v we_o 6._o for_o god_n create_v all_o these_o thing_n for_o we_o he_o govern_v they_o all_o for_o we_o and_o to_o show_v we_o this_o his_o admirable_a goodness_n he_o create_v man_n the_o last_o of_o all_o as_o the_o end_n to_o which_o he_o refer_v his_o work_n for_o the_o end_n be_v always_o the_o first_o and_o the_o principal_a in_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o workman_n and_o the_o last_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o work_n and_o we_o experience_n to_o our_o great_a profit_n that_o they_o all_o tend_v unto_o this_o end_n and_o that_o they_o conspire_v to_o serve_v and_o entertain_v we_o some_o to_o bear_v we_o other_o to_o nourish_v cloth_n cure_n and_o rejoice_v we_o it_o be_v then_o for_o you_o o_o man_n that_o the_o heaven_n move_v that_o star_n glitter_v that_o

a_o tailor_n nourish_v he_o pay_v he_o for_o his_o labour_n give_v he_o stuff_n to_o make_v a_o robe_n for_o his_o daughter_n it_o be_v not_o the_o robe_n that_o be_v oblige_v to_o he_o and_o if_o
