of_o this_o chapter_n be_v what_o god_n be_v in_o the_o primary_n and_o original_n be_v of_o himself_o before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n do_v exist_v quest._n if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o this_o god_n be_v that_o be_v before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v bring_v into_o manifestation_n answ._n i_o answer_v that_o by_o god_n in_o this_o place_n i_o understand_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n himself_o as_o he_o be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n but_o what_o this_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n of_o himself_o be_v who_o can_v tell_v but_o himself_o it_o be_v unknowable_a to_o any_o beside_o himself_o for_o no_o creature_n can_v comprehend_v a_o infinite_a unsearchable_a and_o incomprehensible_a creator_n therefore_o none_o can_v know_v what_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v out_o of_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n but_o himself_o alone_o the_o first_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o be_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n there_o he_o first_o become_v knowable_a to_o intellectual_a creature_n but_o without_o and_o beyond_o it_o he_o be_v as_o a_o nothing_o to_o all_o create_a understanding_n be_v hide_v and_o wrap_v up_o in_o his_o own_o unsearchable_a mystery_n wherefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o god_n consider_v as_o exist_v before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v absolute_o unknowable_a to_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o head_n or_o particular_a which_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o next_o follow_v chapter_n the_o second_o head_n which_o make_v the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o treatise_n what_o

as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o and_o before_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n i_o must_v before_o i_o come_v to_o give_v you_o a_o more_o particular_a answer_n to_o this_o query_n advise_v you_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o very_a deep_a and_o mystical_a knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v true_a withal_o that_o in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n god_n be_v much_o more_o knowable_a than_o without_o it_o in_o the_o solitary_a abstract_v be_v of_o himself_o for_o so_o he_o be_v altogether_o unknowable_a and_o incomprehensible_a have_v premise_v this_o i_o now_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o forego_n question_n by_o explain_v these_o two_o follow_v particular_n viz._n 1._o what_o god_n be_v with_o relation_n to_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n 2._o what_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v wherein_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n do_v manifest_v himself_o which_o particular_n i_o intend_v to_o make_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o two_o chapter_n which_o be_v to_o make_v up_o this_o second_o part_n chap._n i._n concern_v what_o god_n be_v in_o

spirit_n of_o eternity_n second_o again_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n or_o god_n as_o he_o ●s_v a_o uncreated_a essence_n so_o he_o exist_v and_o subsist_v in_o himself_o and_o from_o himself_o

neither_o may_v no●_n can_v be_v confound_v together_o in_o the_o three_o place●_n i_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o
