divine_a belief_n surpass_v the_o force_n of_o our_o nature_n so_o that_o we_o can_v any_o way_n deserve_v it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v inspire_v it_o into_o we_o through_o his_o own_o mere_a bounty_n and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o theological_a gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v dispose_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o obtain_v the_o rest_n 5._o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o enlighten_v our_o understanding_n by_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n 6._o why_o do_v you_o say_v deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n because_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v before_o we_o can_v have_v catholic_a faith_n but_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o church_n which_o propose_v to_o we_o those_o truth_n which_o god_n do_v reveal_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v communicate_v they_o to_o other_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v to_o themselves_o in_o the_o church_n and_o they_o again_o to_o other_o and_o so_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 7._o who_o be_v those_o that_o succeed_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n they_o be_v the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n who_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n leave_v behind_o they_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o doctrine_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v teach_v and_o preach_v before_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v what_o the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o catholic_a church_n deliver_v to_o we_o that_o same_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v to_o she_o 8._o how_o be_v we_o sure_a of_o this_o first_o because_o our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v assure_v we_o so_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o his_o church_n so_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o supreme_a and_o certain_a guide_n to_o which_o christ_n direct_v we_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a religion_n second_o because_o abstract_v from_o supernatural_a mean_n reason_n itself_o do_v convince_v as_o much_o for_o the_o church_n be_v universal_a that_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o christian_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v propose_v a_o falsehood_n see_v that_o the_o christian_n disperse_v in_o so_o many_o country_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v universality_n can_v meet_v together_o and_o agree_v to_o frame_v a_o lie_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o consent_v together_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v deliver_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v so_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o divine_n call_v tradition_n which_o descend_v from_o father_n to_o son_n in_o all_o nation_n where_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v profess_v and_o when_o it_o be_v contradict_v or_o call_v in_o to_o doubt_v the_o question_n be_v decide_v by_o a_o general_a council_n which_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o catholic_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n gather_v together_o out_o of_o all_o part_n where_o the_o church_n be_v disperse_v and_o to_o this_o i_o mean_v to_o universal_a tradition_n no_o heresy_n lay_v claim_v and_o yet_o religion_n be_v so_o ground_v upon_o it_o that_o even_o all_o heretic_n must_v acknowledge_v this_o same_o authority_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o scripture_n so_o that_o we_o see_v how_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o church_n be_v even_o in_o ground_n of_o nature_n and_o abstract_v from_o all_o supernatural_a advantage_n as_o great_a a_o warrant_n as_o can_v be_v that_o what_o the_o church_n teach_v be_v that_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n of_o christ_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n have_v teach_v before_o last_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o what_o the_o church_n say_v be_v true_a not_o only_o because_o she_o be_v universal_a but_o also_o because_o she_o be_v invest_v with_o all_o the_o other_o motive_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o beget_v belief_n as_o santity_n unity_n antiquity_n

jesus_n christ_n from_o all_o other_o of_o what_o profession_n soever_o article_n i._n 4._o what_o do_v the_o first_o article_n signify_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_a creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o teach_v we_o that_o god_n the_o father_n be_v the_o source_n and_o first_o producer_n of_o all_o thing_n have_v produce_v within_o himself_o the_o other_o two_o person_n and_o out_o of_o himself_o all_o create_a thing_n and_o this_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a because_o he_o can_v do_v all_o that_o he_o will_v and_o have_v make_v of_o nothing_o both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n with_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o they_o as_o well_o angel_n as_o man_n and_o the_o whole_a universal_a world_n and_o be_v able_a to_o create_v more_o and_o more_o world_n without_o end_n 5._o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o they_o also_o omnipotent_a yes_o and_o they_o create_v the_o world_n with_o the_o father_n but_o creation_n and_o omnipotency_n be_v particular_o attribute_v to_o the_o father_n for_o they_o belong_v to_o he_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o offspring_n of_o all_o production_n within_o himself_o from_o whence_o be_v derive_v all_o creation_n and_o be_v out_o of_o himself_o whereas_o the_o other_o two_o person_n have_v their_o production_n and_o be_v from_o he_o as_o from_o their_o source_n and_o because_o production_n of_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o power_n therefore_o power_n also_o proper_o belong_v to_o he_o who_o be_v the_o first_o origine_fw-la of_o all_o thing_n produce_v so_o wisdom_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o son_n because_o he_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o understanding_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o proceed_v by_o love_n which_o have_v goodness_n for_o its_o object_n 6._o why_o do_v we_o profess_v god_n his_o omnipotency_n in_o the_o first_o article_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v prepare_v to_o believe_v all_o that_o which_o follow_v although_o it_o surpass_v humane_a force_n and_o also_o to_o let_v we_o know_v how_o he_o create_v the_o world_n which_o do_v require_v a_o infinite_a power_n in_o the_o creator_n for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o have_v do_v it_o 7._o why_o do_v we_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o not_o i_o believe_v god_n or_o i_o believe_v a_o god_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o believe_v a_o god_n believe_v god_n and_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o first_o do_v import_n only_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o the_o second_o i_o believe_v all_o that_o which_o god_n reveal_v but_o the_o three_o do_v import_v not_o only_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n but_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o love_v together_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n use_v express_o this_o kind_n of_o speech_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o faith_n be_v unprofitable_a without_o love_n article_n ii_o 8._o declare_v the_o second_o article_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n our_o lord_n i_o believe_v also_o in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o father_n not_o by_o adoption_n or_o grace_n but_o by_o nature_n and_o the_o only_o beget_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o can_v beget_v any_o
commandment_n can_v be_v perfect_o accomplish_v until_o we_o possess_v almighty_a god_n himself_o and_o enjoy_v he_o entire_o in_o heaven_n yet_o the_o want_n of_o this_o perfection_n in_o this_o world_n do_v not_o render_v we_o guilty_a of_o break_v this_o commandment_n as_o long_o as_o we_o do_v aspire_v unto_o it_o by_o make_v a_o continual_a progress_n in_o it_o which_o be_v at_o last_o to_o be_v accomplish_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n s._n augustin_n say_v that_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o a_o good_a christian_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o holy_a desire_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o continual_a motion_n of_o our_o hart_n which_o carry_v it_o on_o according_a to_o s._n paul_n admonition_n not_o to_o look_v back_o but_o to_o advance_v still_o further_o and_o further_o as_o pilgrim_n do_v whereof_o some_o go_v fast_o other_o slow_o in_o the_o same_o way_n yet_o all_o go_v on_o towards_o their_o journey_n end_n 23._o what_o degree_n then_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v that_o which_o be_v necessary_a in_o this_o life_n for_o salvation_n two_o thing_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n touch_v the_o observance_n of_o this_o precept_n for_o those_o who_o be_v come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o most_o absolute_a the_o most_o affectionate_a the_o most_o general_a and_o predominant_a over_o all_o our_o other_o lover_n and_o that_o it_o reign_v over_o all_o our_o passion_n so_o that_o we_o must_v love_v god_n not_o only_o more_o than_o our_o own_o life_n but_o also_o we_o must_v love_v he_o general_o and_o without_o exception_n more_o than_o all_o that_o which_o we_o desire_v or_o can_v desire_v for_o we_o must_v be_v true_o and_o sincere_o so_o dispose_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o heart_n as_o to_o loose_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o dear_a unto_o we_o and_o to_o suffer_v the_o great_a indignity_n that_o can_v be_v rather_o than_o to_o loose_v he_o and_o consequent_o rather_o than_o to_o commit_v the_o least_o mortal_a sin_n this_o degree_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o degree_n be_v sufficient_a suppose_v it_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o second_o condition_n which_o be_v that_o have_v once_o this_o love_n root_v in_o we_o we_o endeavour_v still_o to_o increase_v it_o more_o and_o more_o by_o our_o prayer_n by_o our_o good_a work_n and_o by_o a_o devoute_a rule_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n for_o let_v we_o have_v make_v never_o so_o great_a advancement_n in_o charity_n we_o be_v still_o bind_v to_o go_v on_o and_o not_o to_o make_v a_o stand_n because_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o the_o perfect_a accomplishment_n of_o this_o precept_n of_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n nether_a shall_v we_o attain_v unto_o it_o until_o we_o come_v to_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o go_v on_o be_v to_o go_v back_o now_o see_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n must_v be_v predominant_a over_o all_o our_o affection_n and_o reign_v over_o all_o our_o passion_n the_o secure_a rule_n to_o know_v whether_o we_o have_v true_o this_o love_n of_o god_n or_o no_o be_v to_o look_v into_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n our_o action_n and_o design_n for_o as_o we_o see_v among_o worldly_a man_n that_o ordinary_o in_o

do_v judge_v by_o their_o action_n design_n occupation_n and_o by_o the_o whole_a conduct_n of_o their_o life_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n taint_v by_o that_o principal_a affection_n that_o reign_v in_o they_o in_o the_o like_a manner_n no_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o he_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n if_o examine_v his_o life_n action_n employment_n desire_n and_o pretension_n he_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o they_o do_v tend_v towards_o god_n see_v that_o the_o love_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o he_o be_v not_o a_o love_n of_o word_n and_o thought_n but_o of_o effect_n and_o action_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o deceive_v ourselves_o take_v the_o act_n of_o our_o
