iii_o the_o three_o particular_a discover_v concern_v the_o heart_n of_o god_n by_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o abyss_n be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o all_o that_o which_o be_v shut_v

as_o one_o virtue_n and_o perfection_n have_v thus_o treat_v of_o the_o several_a particular_n contain_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v next_o proceed_v to_o a_o view_n of_o some_o

without_o any_o mixture_n or_o composition_n whatsoever_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o i_o seem_v to_o reject_v god_n vindictive_a justice_n and_o to_o deny_v his_o anger_n against_o sin_n and_o

i_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o essence_n be_v all_o pure_a deity_n even_o as_o the_o

and_o as_o the_o father_n never_o be_v without_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o son_n without_o the_o father_n so_o likewise_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v never_o without_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o they_o in_o the_o four_o place_n this_o out-going_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v manifest_v to_o be_v a_o bodily_a power_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o appear_v as_o a_o

that_o this_o all_o fill_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o temple_n and_o tabernacle-body_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o as_o the_o father_n dwell_v in_o the_o son_n and_o

i_o do_v not_o attribute_v two_o distinct_a body_n to_o the_o deity_n for_o these_o be_v as_o a_o wheel_n within_o a_o wheel_n and_o as_o a_o inward_a skin_n cover_v with_o a_o outward_a in_o like_a

wherein_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n have_v their_o mutual_a co-habitation_n the_o five_o and_o last_o property_n of_o the_o outflowing_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o it_o

find_v that_o wisdom_n discharge_v these_o two_o office_n viz._n 1._o she_o be_v a_o revealer_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o hide_a wonder_n of_o the_o deity_n 2._o she_o be_v a_o enlightner_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n first_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o scripture_n and_o revelation_n assure_v we_o that_o wisdom_n be_v the_o revealer_n and_o manifester_n of_o the_o unsearchable_a

to_o effect_v and_o create_v all_o thing_n so_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o manifest_v and_o reveal_v all_o thing_n she_o never_o bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n

the_o still_a eternity_n it_o be_v wisdom_n bright_a glance_n which_o be_v the_o day_n and_o light_n of_o this_o most_o holy_a mansion_n not_o a_o create_a light_n but_o a_o pure_a divine_a light_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o god_n be_v call_v a_o light_n in_o who_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o divine_a

and_o holy_a enlighten_v man_n have_v speak_v concern_v wisdom_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o here_o i_o have_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a for_o they_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n after_o the_o production_n of_o eternal_a nature_n as_o wisdom_n be_v introduce_v into_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o eternal_a nature_n whereas_o i_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n existence_n with_o the_o

of_o the_o triune_n deity_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o this_o three_o part_n i_o shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n to_o these_o two_o general_a head_n the_o first_o what_o eternal_a nature_n be_v in_o its_o first_o original_a purity_n the_o second_o what_o kind_n of_o essence_n or_o principle_n pure_a eternal_a nature_n be_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o ii_o

for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o this_o great_a mystery_n of_o eternal_a nature_n what_o it_o be_v i_o will_v open_v it_o in_o the_o original_a cause_n of_o it_o viz._n the_o efficient_a material_a formal_a and_o final_a iii_o concern_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n who_o can_v be_v the_o author_n and_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n but_o the_o triune_n deity_n the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n must_v be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n not_o the_o father_n without_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n nor_o the_o son_n without_o the_o father_n and_o spirit_n nor_o the_o spirit_n without_o the_o father_n and_o son_n but_o the_o triune_n deity_n in_o joint_a co-operation_n therefore_o the_o triune_n deity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n subsist_v in_o their_o own_o pure_a deity_n must_v be_v before_o eternal_a nature_n by_o way_n of_o efficiency_n as_o the_o cause_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n and_o be_v distinct_a as_o the_o cause_n and_o effect_n god_n therefore_o be_v not_o eternal_a nature_n nor_o eternal_a nature_n god_n because_o eternal_a nature_n be_v form_v by_o god_n as_o the_o efficient_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o god_n can_v subsist_v without_o nature_n but_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n can_v subsist_v without_o the_o triune_n deity_n god_n comprehend_v eternal_a nature_n but_o eternal_a nature_n can_v comprehend_v he_o who_o as_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n be_v high_a essence_v in_o his_o own_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n now_o that_o god_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n scripture_n teach_v we_o when_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o word_n all_o thing_n be_v create_v and_o that_o without_o he_o nothing_o be_v make_v that_o be_v make_v now_o if_o the_o triune_n deity_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n he_o must_v needs_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v before_o it_o and_o distinct_a from_o it_o and_o subsist_v in_o a_o far_o high_a graduate_v essence_n than_o eternal_a natures_n essence_n be_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v ask_v i_o what_o be_v above_o before_o and_o beyond_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n i_o can_v only_o reply_v the_o triune_n deity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n who_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o here_o we_o must_v stâ—p_v for_o we_o can_v go_v beyond_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n iv._o we_o proceed_v to_o spâ—â—k_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n which_o be_v god_n and_o will_v brief_o declare_v how_o god_n do_v not_o only_o create_v eternal_a nature_n by_o way_n of_o efficiency_n but_o also_o that_o he_o create_v it_o out_o of_o and_o from_o himself_o by_o way_n of_o essentiality_n thus_o the_o divine_a philosophy_n instruct_v we_o rom._n 8._o 36._o of_o he_o and_o from_o he_o and_o to_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o thing_n proceed_v essential_o from_o he_o and_o if_o all_o then_o eternal_a nature_n must_v proceed_v material_o and_o essential_o out_o of_o god_n essence_n 1_o cor._n 8._o 6._o to_o we_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n efficient_o and_o of_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n essential_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o when_o god_n be_v to_o create_v eternal_a nature_n there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o himself_o out_o of_o or_o from_o
which_o he_o may_v create_v it_o wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o eternal_a nature_n must_v proceed_v essential_o and_o substantial_o from_o god_n and_o indeed_o god_n can_v not_o be_v the_o first_o original_a essence_n of_o all_o essence_n if_o there_o be_v any_o essence_n which_o be_v not_o create_v out_o of_o god_n essence_n wherefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n do_v proceed_v from_o god_n essence_n by_o way_n of_o essentiality_n as_o well_o as_o by_o that_o of_o efficiency_n v._o but_o the_o great_a mystery_n lye'_v here_o to_o know_v how_o eternal_a nature_n do_v proceed_v from_o god_n essence_n and_o what_o god_n essence_n be_v from_o whence_o eternal_a nature_n do_v proceed_v now_o to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o eternal_a nature_n proceed_v from_o god_n abyssal_n essence_n generate_v out_o of_o himself_o for_o as_o be_v say_v before_o there_o be_v no_o other_o essence_n to_o generate_v it_o from_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v this_o abyssal_n essence_n which_o be_v the_o original_a ground_n of_o all_o essence_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o immense_a deep_a empty_a space_n a_o bottomless_a and_o boundless_a abyss_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v without_o beginning_n for_o god_n generate_v this_o abyssal_n essence_n out_o of_o his_o own_o eternal_a essence_n as_o be_v manifest_v to_o my_o fight_n by_o god_n spirit_n else_o i_o can_v not_o write_v of_o it_o as_o i_o do_v have_v i_o not_o see_v the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mouâ—t_n of_o eternity_n when_o i_o say_v god_n be_v the_o original_n of_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n i_o mean_v the_o triune_n deity_n in_o their_o eternal_a unity_n for_o they_o be_v the_o joint_a co-operators_a in_o every_o create_a essence_n they_o work_v inseparable_o one_o do_v not_o work_v without_o the_o other_o but_o the_o mystery_n be_v yet_o in_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n do_v generate_v this_o abyssal_n essence_n out_o of_o himself_o to_o clear_v this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o in_o god_n there_o be_v a_o eternal_a will_n and_o this_o eternal_a desire_a will_n look_v into_o himself_o and_o find_v nothing_o but_o himself_o do_v make_v a_o beginning_n and_o end_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o the_o beginning_n enter_v into_o the_o end_n and_o the_o end_n into_o the_o beginning_n of_o himself_o there_o be_v form_v out_o of_o himself_o this_o round_a abyssal_n globe_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n the_o materiality_n also_o of_o this_o abyss_n be_v generate_v out_o of_o himself_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o himself_o to_o generate_v himself_o from_o therefore_o the_o eternal_a desire_a will_n must_v generate_v this_o abyssal_n essence_n out_o of_o itself_o last_o of_o all_o you_o see_v the_o form_n or_o figure_n that_o god_n eternal_a will_n form_v this_o abyss_n into_o figure_n even_o into_o a_o circle_n or_o globe_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o viz._n that_o the_o desire_a will_n look_v into_o itself_o and_o find_v nothing_o but_o himself_o do_v put_v a_o end_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o the_o beginning_n close_v with_o the_o end_n there_o be_v form_v ae_z round_a or_o globe_n thus_o you_o seâ—_n the_o high_a ground_n that_o we_o can_v have_v of_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n viz._n the_o desire_a will_n of_o god_n which_o will_n be_v the_o first_o and_o last_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o free_a efficacious_a will_n god_n do_v style_v himself_o the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o from_o this_o will_n by_o this_o will_n and_o for_o this_o will_v all_o thing_n be_v create_v and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v concern_v the_o beginning_n of_o god_n abyssal_n essence_n vi_o now_o we_o will_v proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n which_o as_o be_v hint_v before_o be_v a_o deep_a immense_a boundless_a empty_a space_n and_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o abyssal_n essence_n or_o ground_n without_o ground_n when_o i_o say_v this_o abyssal_n essence_n be_v without_o bound_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v in_o relation_n to_o god_n by_o who_o will_n it_o be_v bound_v and_o comprehend_v but_o in_o relation_n to_o our_o spirit_n in_o this_o empty_a immense_a space_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v see_v no_o darkness_n no_o fire_n no_o light_n no_o creature_n but_o be_v indeed_o a_o unsearchable_a deep_a without_o any_o essence_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o that_o from_o whence_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n do_v proceed_v and_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o creature_n see_v no_o essence_n in_o it_o yet_o god_n eye_n see_v all_o thing_n in_o it_o because_o it_o be_v the_o original_a ground_n of_o all_o essence_n yet_o be_v no_o visible_a essence_n to_o be_v see_v in_o it_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n generate_v out_o of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o essence_n be_v call_v by_o mystical_a writer_n the_o divine_a chaos_n and_o the_o original_a essence_n of_o all_o essence_n from_o whence_o all_o create_a essence_n principle_n and_o

he_o also_o term_n this_o eternal_a nothing_o the_o eternal_a stillness_n because_o as_o no_o essence_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o it_o though_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o essence_n so_o there_o be_v no_o life_n no_o motion_n no_o work_a source_n to_o be_v find_v in_o it_o but_o a_o eternal_a stillness_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n whence_o all_o life_n motion_n and_o

what_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n be_v i_o say_v further_o that_o this_o abyssal_n essence_n be_v a_o eternal_a essence_n generate_v out_o of_o god_n essence_n that_o be_v out_o

there_o the_o dragon_n and_o the_o beast_n have_v establish_v their_o dominion_n and_o be_v very_o active_a and_o stir_v in_o it_o and_o though_o we_o can_v deny_v but_o god_n be_v in_o fall_v

may_v be_v the_o sole_a mover_n and_o actor_n in_o it_o and_o thereby_o to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v it_o in_o its_o original_a purity_n whereas_o the_o end_n why_o god_n enter_v into_o fall_v

of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v preserve_v in_o the_o unclean_a vessel_n of_o defile_a and_o corrupt_a nature_n answ._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o shall_v find_v this_o objection_n full_o satisfy_v for_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v the_o high_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n and_o consequent_o can_v admit_v of_o any_o mixture_n or_o composition_n with_o any_o thing_n and_o again_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v a_o eternal_a liberty_n be_v free_a from_o all_o though_o be_v in_o and_o penetrate_a through_o all_o like_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o though_o they_o pierce_v the_o air_n and_o water_n penetrate_v they_o throughout_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o mix_v or_o jumble_v with_o they_o but_o abide_v in_o their_o perfect_a liberty_n and_o untouched_a from_o either_o of_o they_o and_o now_o for_o a_o conclusion_n we_o may_v draw_v this_o corollary_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o deity_n be_v hide_v iâ—_n nature_n as_o a_o jewel_n in_o a_o cabinet_n or_o as_o a_o treasure_n

nature_n as_o a_o eternal_a eye_n to_o see_v through_o all_o nature_n globe_n and_o together_o with_o himself_o his_o eternal_a flame_a heart_n of_o love_n as_o a_o eternal_a spring_n flow_v
