of_o man_n attribute_v to_o he_o humane_a affection_n and_o member_n according_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o yet_o indeed_o whenas_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o that_o have_v any_o part_n of_o a_o body_n imagine_v to_o be_v in_o man_n but_o because_o in_o our_o conversation_n with_o man_n we_o take_v he_o to_o have_v the_o great_a honour_n which_o be_v place_v on_o the_o

both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o both_o holy_a also_o and_o therefore_o indeed_o this_o three_o person_n be_v not_o distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o two_o by_o his_o proper_a name_n but_o be_v call_v by_o a_o name_n common_a to_o the_o other_o two_o and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o of_o our_o want_n of_o word_n for_o we_o can_v conceive_v god_n under_o no_o other_o name_n but_o such_o as_o we_o borrow_v from_o create_a thing_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v resemble_v he_o to_o something_o that_o be_v in_o nature_n and_o no_o far_o and_o therefore_o

call_v the_o act_n of_o this_o communicate_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o other_o two_o person_n to_o the_o three_o by_o no_o other_o but_o by_o the_o general_a name_n of_o come_v or_o proceed_v and_o therefore_o the_o person_n proceed_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o can_v be_v express_v no_o nor_o conceive_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o resemble_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n to_o we_o want_v his_o

his_o condemnation_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a q._n but_o be_v not_o sin_n to_o be_v forgive_v that_o be_v commit_v after_o baptism_n a._n yes_o if_o a_o man_n can_v repent_v god_n will_v forgive_v any_o sin_n at_o any_o time_n yet_o a_o man_n be_v not_o so_o renew_v by_o penance_n afterward_o as_o he_o be_v at_o baptism_n for_o baptism_n take_v away_o sin_n whether_o it_o be_v original_a as_o

natural_a corruption_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o original_a sin_n but_o repentance_n after_o baptism_n take_v away_o indeed_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o the_o final_a

alm_n and_o corporal_a affliction_n q._n how_o shall_v a_o man_n do_v to_o perform_v the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o promise_n which_o be_v to_o forsake_v the_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o wicked_a world_n and_o all_o the_o sinful_a lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n a._n that_o be_v do_v at_o first_o in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o abhor_v abjure_v

by_o keep_v the_o other_o two_o part_n of_o a_o man_n promise_n in_o the_o continue_a act_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n in_o her_o catechism_n repeat_v nothing_o of_o this_o part_n of_o our_o promise_n after_o the_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o baptism_n but_o only_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o act_n of_o renounce_v and_o
