in_o regard_n of_o the_o son_n be_v incarnate_a and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o indeed_o bring_v in_o many_o point_n to_o be_v believe_v whereof_o consider_v only_o as_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n so_o as_o the_o two_o nature_n in_o christ_n must_v needs_o give_v cause_n to_o have_v more_o speak_v of_o he_o then_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v in_o all_o age_n be_v most_o obscure_a so_o much_o that_o in_o some_o church_n it_o be_v some_o time_n before_o it_o be_v believe_v at_o all_o or_o so_o much_o as_o know_v whether_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a ghost_n or_o no_o even_o in_o these_o present_a time_n the_o greek_a church_n a_o church_n of_o great_a extent_n differ_v thus_o from_o we_o that_o where_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o church_n believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n a_o nice_a difference_n in_o so_o incomprehensible_a a_o mystery_n that_o there_o seem_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o lay_v such_o anathemaes_n as_o some_o do_v upon_o that_o church_n for_o so_o believe_v if_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o son_n and_o not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o belief_n will_v never_o be_v sanctify_v see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o be_v the_o sanctifier_n and_o sanctify_v none_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o and_o the_o belief_n not_o be_v sanctify_v will_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o father_n himself_o notwithstanding_o our_o belief_n in_o he_o and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offer_n of_o cain_n be_v not_o accept_v because_o though_o a_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o want_v a_o devotion_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o they_o that_o commit_v this_o sin_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o pray_v a_o grievous_a sin_n no_o doubt_n which_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o charity_n who_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o overflow_v all_o bank_n but_o what_o the_o sin_n be_v and_o by_o what_o mark_n it_o may_v certain_o be_v know_v though_o a_o question_v much_o agitate_a be_v not_o yet_o so_o full_o explicate_v but_o that_o it_o leave_v scruple_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o not-beleeving_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o principal_a ingredient_n in_o it_o or_o rather_o where_o a_o true_a believe_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o sin_n proper_o can_v never_o be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o in_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o the_o article_n in_o the_o whole_a creed_n that_o seem_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v say_v then_o this_o for_o by_o say_v this_o article_n we_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n in_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o not_o be_v likely_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o why_o be_v it_o that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o a_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v it_o not_o that_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n can_v sanctify_v that_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o pardonable_a but_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v none_o to_o sanctify_v it_o and_o not_o be_v sanctify_v it_o just_o exceed_v all_o bound_n of_o remission_n o_o therefore_o thou_o bless_a god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v i_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n that_o what_o other_o sin_n soever_o i_o may_v happy_o unhappy_o commit_v yet_o i_o may_v never_o be_v so_o unhappy_a to_o commit_v this_o dreadful_a sin_n of_o sin_v against_o thou_o when_o we_o read_v the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n the_o father_n place_v first_o the_o son_n second_o the_o holy_a ghost_n last_o we_o must_v not_o conceive_v it_o as_o though_o there_o be_v any_o priority_n between_o they_o in_o time_n who_o be_v all_o go-eternall_a or_o any_o disparity_n between_o they_o in_o dignity_n who_o be_v all_o consubstantial_a but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o express_v of_o order_n only_o to_o our_o capacity_n

which_o mystery_n though_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n yet_o not_o our_o belief_n or_o therefore_o the_o fit_a for_o belief_n because_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n and_o now_o have_v profess_v our_o belief_n in_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v and_o say_v o_o holy_a bless_a and_o glorious_a trinity_n three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o miserable_a sinner_n and_o thus_o be_v finish_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o creed_n in_o who_o it_o be_v we_o believe_v the_o other_o part_n remain_v contain_v what_o it_o be_v we_o believe_v for_o to_o know_v in_o who_o to_o believe_v and_o not_o know_v what_o to_o believe_v be_v to_o stand_v at_o a_o gaze_n and_o be_v to_o seek_v when_o we_o come_v to_o our_o lesson_n indeed_o the_o thing_n we_o believe_v have_v dependence_n upon_o the_o person_n in_o who_o we_o believe_v and_o such_o dependence_n as_o without_o believe_v in_o those_o we_o can_v true_o believe_v these_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n nor_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o these_o be_v benefit_n that_o come_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o

the_o father_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o life_n everlasting_a see_v by_o he_o only_o it_o be_v that_o we_o live_v and_o have_v our_o present_a be_v and_o shall_v have_v our_o eternal_a be_v and_o the_o first_o article_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v this_o church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v it_o in_o deed_n but_o not_o in_o it_o as_o i_o do_v in_o god_n for_o this_o be_v a_o privilege_n due_n only_o to_o he_o and_o beside_o if_o i_o shall_v believe_v in_o it_o i_o shall_v believe_v partly_o in_o myself_o as_o be_v a_o member_n of_o it_o but_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o holy_a catholic_a church_n holy_a as_o in_o which_o be_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o catholic_a as_o in_o which_o be_v of_o all_o

bound_v within_o canaan_n but_o now_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v the_o church_n holy_a by_o sanctify_v it_o so_o christ_n have_v make_v it_o catholic_a by_o enlarge_a it_o for_o at_o his_o come_n at_o least_o at_o his_o go_v away_o he_o break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n by_o his_o last_o warrant_n to_o the_o apostle_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o though_o christ_n set_v his_o church_n at_o large_a yet_o not_o long_o after_o his_o time_n a_o sect_n of_o heretic_n will_v needs_o restrain_v it_o again_o for_o donatus_n and_o his_o follower_n will_v persuade_v the_o world_n that_o as_o before_o the_o true_a church_n be_v only_o in_o canaan_n so_o now_o the_o true_a church_n be_v only_o in_o africa_n but_o by_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o now_o disclaim_v both_o these_o church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o not_o be_v

yet_o in_o some_o respect_n they_o be_v sometime_o appropriate_v more_o to_o one_o then_o to_o another_o here_o therefore_o in_o speak_v of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o original_a of_o creature_n the_o make_v they_o be_v just_o attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o original_a creator_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v so_o true_a that_o they_o all_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o make_v they_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o that_o spiritus_fw-la dei_fw-la incubabat_fw-la the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o foment_v the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n by_o the_o bond_n of_o concord_n the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o world_n have_v not_o be_v from_o everlasting_a for_o if_o god_n be_v maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n than_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v make_v and_o if_o make_v then_o make_v in_o time_n and_o if_o make_v in_o time_n then_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v not_o make_v but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v see_v there_o be_v no_o time_n till_o they_o be_v make_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o space_n of_o duration_n and_o that_o space_n have_v be_v from_o everlasting_a and_o be_v from_o everlasting_a how_o can_v it_o ever_o come_v to_o have_v a_o end_n and_o a_o end_v it_o must_v have_v before_o

short_a to_o sound_v so_o great_a a_o depth_n it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o to_o know_v that_o although_o god_n make_v not_o the_o world_n from_o everlasting_a yet_o he_o make_v it_o then_o when_o from_o everlasting_a he_o have_v decree_v to_o make_v it_o but_o how_o he_o bring_v time_n out_o of_o eternity_n be_v a_o mystery_n thou_o shall_v never_o attain_v to_o know_v till_o thou_o come_v thyself_o to_o attain_v eternity_n thus_o far_o we_o be_v bring_v by_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n lord_n and_o in_o his_o only_a son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n but_o see_v

in_o his_o only_a son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n not_o his_o son_n by_o adoption_n as_o we_o be_v nor_o his_o son_n by_o creation_n and_o grace_n as_o angel_n be_v but_o his_o son_n by_o

but_o of_o eternity_n which_o make_v he_o coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n one_o good_a degree_n of_o equality_n and_o as_o the_o day_n of_o his_o beget_v be_v not_o like_o we_o so_o neither_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o beget_v like_o we_o for_o where_o our_o beget_v be_v a_o three_o from_o two_o his_o beget_v be_v a_o second_o from_o one_o and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o one_o

it_o exceed_v not_o our_o belief_n and_o therefore_o though_o our_o inquisitive_a thought_n will_v fain_o be_v make_v further_a queree_n about_o it_o yet_o faith_n make_v we_o content_v to_o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n generationem_fw-la ejus_fw-la quis_fw-la enarrabit_fw-la who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n if_o then_o the_o day_n of_o his_o beget_v make_v he_o coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o beget_v make_v he_o consubstantial_a with_o the_o father_n have_v we_o not_o as_o good_a ground_n for_o our_o believe_v in_o he_o as_o in_o the_o father_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v think_v no_o power_n be_v leave_v for_o the_o son_n the_o father_n be_v almighty_a yet_o all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o the_o son_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o though_o the_o father_n be_v almighty_a yet_o almighty_a but_o as_o god_n and_o therefore_o almighty_a as_o due_a to_o the_o son_n who_o be_v god_n with_o the_o father_n and_o as_o just_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o say_v to_o the_o son_n as_o to_o the_o father_n we_o praise_v thou_o o_o god_n we_o knowledge_n thou_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n but_o how_o can_v the_o son_n that_o be_v beget_v be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n who_o beget_v see_v that_o which_o beget_v be_v always_o before_o that_o which_o be_v beget_v but_o be_v not_o this_o a_o fallacy_n they_o be_v relative_n see_v nothing_o can_v beget_v but_o there_o must_v be_v something_o beget_v there_o can_v be_v a_o father_n till_o there_o be_v a_o son_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o father_n be_v from_o everlasting_a the_o son_n also_o be_v from_o everlasting_a and_o so_o be_v coeternal_a but_o though_o the_o son_n may_v be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n yet_o how_o can_v he_o be_v consubstantial_a with_o the_o father_n see_v the_o substance_n of_o every_o thing_n be_v proper_a to_o itself_o and_o can_v be_v communicate_v to_o another_o this_o indeed_o be_v true_a if_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v aliud_fw-la &_o aliud_fw-la and_o not_o only_a alius_fw-la &_o alius_fw-la but_o now_o be_v both_o one_o god_n and_o only_o two_o person_n see_v the_o difference_n of_o person_n make_v no_o difference_n of_o substance_n they_o remain_v of_o one_o substance_n both_o and_o so_o be_v consubstantial_a thus_o far_o reach_v our_o belief_n in_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o son_n but_o see_v we_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v both_o perfect_a god_n and_o perfect_a man_n this_o lead_v our_o belief_n a_o degree_n further_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n

upon_o thou_o our_o flesh_n shall_v never_o have_v come_v to_o inherit_v heaven_n but_o why_o be_v the_o son_n incarnate_a and_o not_o as_o well_o the_o father_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n indeed_o for_o just_a cause_n for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v the_o father_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a because_o the_o incarnation_n be_v to_o pacify_v the_o father_n nor_o be_v it_o not_o fit_v the_o holy_a

that_o be_v the_o son_n in_o the_o trinity_n he_o shall_v also_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o woman_n so_o to_o make_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n without_o remove_v out_o of_o his_o sphere_n of_o

though_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a at_o least_o in_o a_o moral_a holiness_n yet_o i_o can_v deny_v that_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v holy_a because_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o believe_v no_o true_a holiness_n to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n this_o catholic_a church_n be_v a_o school_n of_o instruction_n to_o teach_v we_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v
