heroically spoke if hee were to be corporeal would sure have Light for his bodie and Truth for his soule and so as he is hath he Truth as his Vsher going before his face as in the Psalmist And whereas of other divine attributes some are especially ascribed to the Father as omnipotencie some to the Sonne as wisedome some to the holy Ghost as goodnesse Truth by the holy Spirit is peculiarly attributed to them all Lord God of Truth Iesus that Truth the Spirit of Truth Christ saith the cause of his comming his errand into the world was to beare witnesse unto the truth the Spirit of truth not onely so essentialiter but doctrinaliter leading into all truth his wayes truth his workes truth his word truth all truth who as fountaine of truth himselfe favoureth also truth in others too

Why it was Hezekiah's cordiall lying sicke that he had walked before God in Truth Truth there not opposite onely falso but fucato when hypocrisie pollicie fraud falshood errour can minister no comfortable ingredient in extremity then faire fall Truth Beyond the comforts here is it heaven hereafter you would have hold of Why remember who it is shall dwell in Gods Tabernacle rest in his holy

Truth is there put the first peece of the Panoply as if the principall obiect of valour were Truth and that the prime care to have the loines girt about with Truth O then according to that excellent commendation Quintilian gives Vespasian patientissimus
