to_o make_v a_o supremacy_n to_o any_o one_o he_o be_v thereby_o plain_o confess_v to_o be_v imperfect_a wherefore_o such_o want_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n this_o be_v

4.5_o beside_o god_n commandment_n be_v thou_o shall_v have_v none_o other_o god_n before_o i_o or_o in_o my_o sight_n and_o by_o the_o prophet_n he_o often_o admonish_v i_o be_o the_o first_o and_o

because_o sometime_o even_o the_o holy_a scripture_n itself_o seem_v to_o ascribe_v the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o creature_n for_o that_o it_o so_o call_v prophet_n and_o judge_n god_n this_o be_v

divine_a oracle_n under_o this_o name_n father_n begin_v to_o unfold_v to_o we_o for_o this_o name_n show_v we_o person_n xii_o the_o name_n father_n show_v a_o plurality_n of_o person_n that_o in_o the_o be_v of_o god_n not_o one_o person_n only_o but_o a_o distinction_n of_o person_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v for_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o godhead_n the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n who_o be_v beget_v of_o none_o of_o the_o son_n who_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o father_n before_o all_o world_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o from_o all_o eternity_n also_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n but_o the_o father_n in_o this_o substance_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v the_o first_o person_n who_o together_o with_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o lord_n not_o in_o the_o singularity_n of_o one_o person_n but_o in_o the_o trinity_n of_o one_o substance_n but_o now_o these_o three_o person_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o distinct_a only_o in_o their_o propriety_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a wickedness_n but_o to_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n unlike_a or_o unequal_a in_o they_o for_o the_o father_n be_v not_o beget_v the_o son_n be_v beget_v of_o the_o father_n the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o they_o both_o and_o thus_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o three_o person_n have_v the_o same_o be_v and_o the_o same_o substance_n so_o that_o in_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o true_a and_o eternal_a godhead_n we_o do_v holy_o and_o religious_o worship_v both_o a_o

how_o the_o first_o person_n be_v a_o father_n it_o it_o not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o we_o think_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v first_o or_o last_o great_a or_o less_o in_o the_o trinity_n far_o be_v it_o from_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o think_v so_o impious_o since_o christian_a religion_n teach_v that_o the_o same_o eternity_n the_o same_o majesty_n and_o glory_n be_v alike_o in_o all_o the_o three_o person_n but_o we_o true_o and_o confident_o affirm_v that_o the_o father_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v the_o begin_n without_o beginning_n be_v the_o first_o person_n which_o as_o it_o be_v very_o distinct_a by_o the_o propriety_n of_o father_n so_o be_v it_o suitable_a to_o this_o one_o person_n chief_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o he_o beget_v the_o son_n from_o all_o eternity_n for_o it_o be_v plain_o signify_v to_o we_o that_o he_o always_o be_v both_o god_n and_o father_n together_o whensoever_o in_o this_o confession_n we_o pronounce_v these_o name_n together_o of_o god_n and_o father_n but_o because_o we_o can_v be_v either_o more_o dangerous_o busy_v trinity_n fourteen_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o too_o nice_o search_v into_o the_o trinity_n or_o more_o

the_o faithful_a understand_v that_o there_o be_v both_o unity_n in_o the_o essence_n and_o distinction_n in_o the_o person_n but_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o more_o narrow_o to_o pry_v into_o these_o thing_n 25.27_o prov._n 25.27_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o say_n he_o that_o be_v a_o searcher_n of_o majesty_n shall_v be_v oppress_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o for_o this_o which_o our_o faith_n assure_v we_o of_o aught_o to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o thus_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n who_o oracle_n not_o to_o give_v credit_n to_o will_v be_v the_o high_a folly_n and_o
