A19906	Yehovah summa totalis or, All in all, and, the same for euer: or, an addition to Mirum in modum. / By the first author, Iohn Dauies.	Davies, John, 1565?-1618.; Davies, John, 1565?-1618. Mirum in modum.	1607 (1607)	STC 6337; ESTC S109347	39,757	86

the first Person to the second giues Geu'n and receau'd when each himselfe perceaues So that that Povv'r which in the first doth woone Shorts not the seconds which the same conceaues But as the Sire it holds and not the Sonne It is the Sires not Gods for God is One. Thus personall Properties are still distinct As are the Persons by those Properties Then with the last the first must be extinct For they can ne're be parted otherwise Each might be each and so Disorder rise And that the Sire cannot begotten be It 's no defect of Povv'r which in him lies Nor that the Sonne gets not as well as he T is not Povvres want but Orders Regency Their Spirit no more then They Povv'r wanteth not Though he proceedes which is his Property And though he'gets not nor is he begot Yet holds he with them equall Diety And what he works they work in sep'rably And yet three seuerall Functions to them Three Themselues assigne their workes to varifie The Sire Creates The Sonne Redeemes And he That is the Holy Spirit doth Sanctifie For as the Sire is of himselfe he acts As of him selfe yet by the other Two None working by him through their strait contract The Sonne as of his Sire doth of him do yet by their equall Spirit he worketh too The Father workes by him He by that Sp'rit Which Sp'rit as he proceedeth from Them so He works from both with euer-equall might Thus these Respects their Workes in one vnite Then in respect of ther Pow'r Wisedome Will Their Workes are One as they are One in Three But in respect their Persons differ still Their Workes in sort of doing diuers be But their externall deeds ne're disagree For by their common Essence they are done That 's in their Vnity not Trinity The Sire Creates as God so doth the Sonne And so their Sp'rit without distinction The Father doth Redeeme yet by the Sonne They Sanctifie yet by their holy Sp'rit So though their Workes in vnity be done yet due distinctions do their workes vnite Which make their Workes to be most exquisite To eat much Honie hath no svveet effect And who too neere doth search Pow'r infinite Shall be with Glory ouerwhelmed checkt Then hold rash Muse retire ere thou be wreckt This wondrous Trinity in Vnity Is vnderstood to Bee but how ô here Is such a Gulph of deepest Mistery As none without bee'ng quit orewhelm'd with fear Can looke therein to tell the secrets there For what beseeming that Good-evrie Thing Can we immagin though we Angels were That is as farre past all immagining As we are short of Paceing with his Wing VVe erre in nought with danger more extreame Nor in ought labour with more hard assay yet nought we know with more harts ioy then Them But in their search if once we lose our VVay VVe may be lost and vtterly decay It 's deadly dang'rous then for them to looke Through VVaies more sullen then the Foe of Day without Faiths Lanthorn Truths most blessed Book VVhich none ere left but straight the way forsooke For Iustice SONNE was sent by Grace his Sire The Gospell to promulgate from his BREST His Councels to disclose our doubts to cliere Then if we go to seeke this BEEING blest VVithout these Helpes we strayeng neuer rest But now the Eye of Heau'n begins to close Sith rest it would being wearie in the West Then wearie Muse with It thy selfe repose And wake with It and go still as it goes NOW o're the Earstern Mountaines Headles height we see that EYE by which our Eies do see To peepe as it would steale on Theeuish Night which from that EYES-sight like a Theefe doth flee Least by the Same it should surprized be Then is it time my Muse thy wings to stretch Sith they are short too short the worse for thee For this daies Iournie hath a mightie Reach And manie a compasse thou therein much fetch Thou shouldst be pow'rfull in thy Winges too weake Sith thou flee'st after Pow'r omnipotent which may with labor both thy Pinions breake And spend thy strongest Sp'rits ere they are spent Then recollect them to pursue thy intent This Powr's almightie endlesse infinite Still most vnknown yet still most eminent Which none but ONE can hold by wrong or right For if two had it it were definite Of this no Creature can be capable For it can but receiue what it can hold And it can hold no more then it is able For if a Bucket in the Sea we should Let downe at once t'exhaust it if we could Yet that therein ingulph'd could take no more Then meerely but so much as fill it would Which in respect of that Flouds boundlesse Store Is as no drop at all the Bucket bore This Pow'r is euermore accompanied With two Consociates that still glad or griue Which Grace and Iustice are entitled Yet more that Pow'r by Grace with some doth striue Then doth at other some his Iustice driue VVhich Pow'r by either is not euer like Though in it selfe it still alike doth thriue For sometimes more aswell in proud as meeke Then other some they do or stroke or strike And in the Guifts of high'st Beneficence This well appears which in themselues are pure But yet in vs not so for much offence They giue the Giuer by their state impure And such They be sith it 's not in our pow'r So to receiue Them as they simple be But as we can and we can but immure Those Sp'rituall Guifts with Fleshes sluttery Thus Finite ne're can hold Infinitie Then to be God and be Omnipotent Is both in substance one thing really Yet is that Pow'r though ne're so preualent Not able Gods to make moue Locally Deny himselfe change be vniust or lye And many more such like he cannot do Sith in his Pow'r is none Infirmitie For if he could do these then were he Two Both good and bad and either finite too Nor is it as some dreame that by his Might He can do all Impossibilities Sith nought's impossible bee 't wrong or right As they suppose to Pow'r without Comprise So in his Will they say his Goodnesse lies As if he would he could do passing Ill But that he will not fond thought most vnwise Can perfect goodnesse perfect ill fulfill If so it can it 's most imperfect still His Pow'r I grant hath force it selfe t' extend To endlesse Things for number infinite Though in his changelesse Will now all haue end So cannot for his Will do all he might Nor cannot for Pow'r doo ought vnright Nor yet doth he his freedome lose hereby That to his Will doth so himselfe vnite Sith still his Will and He hold vnity Then bee'ng but ONE haue onelyest Liberty Nor can He make that That which Is is not For then he Nought should make which cannot Bee For Nought can ne're be made much

change no Changling is he growne That Hypostaticall rare Vnion Which Pers'nally vnites both God and Man Is two in Nature though in Person one For God his nature neuer alter can And once begin that neuer once began It is against Gods nature Man to be Sith one's eternall th' others life a Span Yet Man is God by God and God is he That 's Man for Man but both keepe their degree For that 's not chang'd that keepes itselfe intire From ought that may with it vnited be And though thereat Mans reason may admire Yet onely Wisedome doth it which doth see How Two in One vnchang'd may well agree As erst we said Mans Soule and Body did Which truely differ in true Vnïty thogh they change their states their kinds forbid That they should change their kinds in either hid So did the WORD remaine that which it was And truely That assum'd which it was not But yet no change thereby was brought to passe More then they change that haue new garments got In Name or Nature though they change their Lot And to descend and ascend come and go And now become more cold and then more hot These Words are Tropes for that Word doth not That by our owne his Actions we may know so When he drawes neere vs we are drawne by Him While still He stands for as the Magnes drawes Without bee'ng mou'd the Iron to his Brim Or as the Iett vnstirr'd attracteth Strawes So GOD vnmoued doth our motion cause They that are Shipt in saillng from the Shore Do thinke they moue not maugre Eolls Flawes But that the Land moues which stands as before So God moues not but we do euermore Nor yet by locall motion are we brought To God when to himselfe he vs doth bring Because without his Compasse there is nought For all that is is compast in that RING This motion then is not by altering The Place but Person of the altered Yet that not altred but by gouerning The wil'de Affections erst vngouerned So moues this vnmou'd Motion motioned Thus when God seemes to change by changing vs The change is not in Him but vs alone So then though Reth'ricke saith hee 's various yet saith Dîuinity Hee 's euer One And holds vp all things by his Vnion He in the CHAOS on the Waters mou'd But that was but by preseruation Which by his WORD alone he did vnmou'd As by his Word may pregnantly be prou'd Then sith hee 's euer changlesse as hee 's good We Wormes most mutable in spight of change May euer stand in him that euer stood By Faith and Hope and Loue and neuer range But when through him we go to Places strange And though by nature mutable we be Yet may His Grace from vs that state estrange And match vs to immutability In the Bride-Chamber of Felicity Hee 's true of promise sith he cannot change Then why should sorrowing-Synners feare to dye Sith Earths familiars are to Heau'n strange Then Heau'n we cannot haue while here we lye And he that 's free from all vncertainty Hath in his euer-neuer-failing Word Giu'n vs by Deede with his Bloud seald an hie And Heau'nly Mantion which he doth affoord To all whose Wills do with his Will accord The euer-liuing GOD sole Lord of Life He Was and is from all Eternity If he be such a Husband shall his Wife Or any Member of her feare to dye In him with whom is Immortally Hee 's life it selfe then of himselfe he moues And all his Members moues immediatly To rest in him the rest from him he shoues So all moue by him which he hates or loues Thus all that moue haue life for lif 's the Cause And Motion the Effect for we enstile A flowing Fount a liuely Spring because It is in motion and That dead the while It standeth still as do some Waters vile Siluer selfe-mouing we call Siluer-quick But Coine though currant we from life exile Because of it 's owne kind it still doth stick Where it is set without some Chance it nick Yet though they liue that moue they liue as dead Much like Quick-siluer dead although it moues That not as Members moue of Him their Head That moues to grace and glory whom he loues So in them his owne motions he approues Which doth inferre no motions liuely be That from this Marke Synne all at pleasure roues For such moue still through mutability And that still moueth to mortality For Motion in the Creatures moues to nought And nought is nothing but the rest of Ill But where Ill rests That 's to confusion brought That so is mou'd and so it resteth still VVhich rest that mou'd with all disease doth fill For that is restlesse rest that ill doth rest And ill that rests that rests with euill will But ill 's that will by which the Mind is prest By motion ill to rest in state vnblest Creatures moue not themselues for mou'd they be By the First-mouer mouing first of all Then by the End he moues them mediatly Which moues the Agent to be actuall Then Nature and the Orbes-Celestiall with th' Hoast that still vnweary walkes those Rounds Do moue them too till they to rest do fall And rest they do whē Time their course confounds So Motion resteth in Confusions Bounds Yet all must rest in him from whom they came And Hee 's the Soule of Order ordering Confusion to the glory of his Name So He Confusions doth to order bring And order keeps in each confused Thing Within their Center diuerse Lines are one Though out they may be Millions in the Ring And in the Center by Conuersion They meete againe in perfect Vnion Yet good and bad in Him are not all one Though out of him be neither good or bad But both in Him so make an Vnion As those which Syn hath mar'd and he hath made Yet out of Him meere ONE they cannot gadde But yet the vvorst He loathes and loues the best Sith one grieues him the other makes him glad And so though both are said in Him to rest Yet rest they restlesse that do him molest As when with good bad Humours are in vs In one vnited working diuersly We to the bad are euer troublous Because they vex vs with their Malady By reauing of their rest where they do lyes So though we be not of Gods nature pure Yet Good and Bad in him haue Vnity But He the Bad molests sith they procure His Spirits griefe which he cannot endure Thus still He liues all One and in him still All are but One though many still they be All are his worke whose Work is but his will Which wil is good and good in their degree He made his workes which he did blessing see Themselues they mar'd because themselues they Subiect to death by vnmade perfidy made So they from ought to nought do growing fade Sith Nought that ought doth marring ouerlade This GOD that liues then
