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
