and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v some_o distinction_n and_o how_o be_v that_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v that_o which_o be_v so_o high_a above_o all_o our_o understanding_n and_o reason_n the_o ancient_a doctor_n have_v use_v the_o word_n person_n and_o have_v say_v that_o in_o god_n there_o be_v three_o person_n godhead_n how_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n not_o as_o we_o speak_v in_o our_o common_a speech_n call_v three_o man_n three_o person_n or_o else_o as_o in_o the_o popedom_n they_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o point_v three_o puppet_n or_o monkey_n and_o say_v lo_o the_o trinity_n but_o this_o word_n person_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v use_v plain_o to_o express_v and_o set_v out_o the_o propriety_n that_o be_v in_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n the_o word_n substance_n or_o as_o the_o greek_n speak_v hypostasis_fw-la be_v indeed_o more_o meet_a and_o convenient_a because_o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o apostle_n use_v it_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n when_o he_o say_v 1.3_o hebr._n 1.3_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o lively_a image_n and_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n yea_o the_o image_n or_o ingrave_v form_n of_o the_o substance_n or_o person_n of_o god_n his_o father_n when_o he_o speak_v in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o substance_n or_o person_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o essence_n or_o be_v but_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o propriety_n which_o be_v in_o the_o father_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o thing_n trinity_n god_n word_n only_o must_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o all_o point_n but_o special_o in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o trinity_n but_o now_o let_v we_o look_v to_o their_o three_o substance_n or_o person_n as_o we_o call_v they_o and_o mark_v how_o they_o accord_n and_o agree_v so_o farfoorth_o as_o god_n teach_v we_o concern_v they_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v for_o we_o must_v not_o at_o any_o hand_n go_v beyond_o these_o bound_n and_o limit_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n thereto_o so_o farforth_o as_o shall_v be_v requisite_a for_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o place_n when_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n of_o themselves_o be_v confound_v and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o think_v or_o imagine_v save_v that_o they_o go_v astray_o in_o their_o own_o cogitation_n and_o thought_n 1.21_o rom._n 1.21_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v and_o thereupon_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o they_o wax_v thereof_o over_o proud_a through_o their_o own_o prudencie_n and_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o god_n also_o do_v in_o such_o sort_n punish_v they_o that_o they_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o such_o horrible_a labyrinth_n &_o maze_n that_o they_o can_v not_o at_o any_o hand_n come_v out_o but_o when_o we_o will_v suffer_v god_n to_o guide_v we_o unto_o he_o self_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n prove_v the_o trinity_n prove_v we_o shall_v know_v he_o so_o farforth_o as_o shall_v be_v necessary_a and_o meet_a for_o us._n for_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o father_n as_o to_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o then_o we_o can_v not_o conceive_v or_o think_v upon_o the_o father_n without_o his_o counsel_n and_o eternal_a wisdom_n beside_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a virtue_n &_o power_n that_o remain_v in_o he_o which_o we_o shall_v also_o perceive_v and_o feel_v very_o well_o mark_v then_o how_o we_o shall_v find_v these_o three_o propriety_n in_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o saint_n john_n mean_v to_o say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o that_o word_n be_v with_o god_n if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o distinction_n he_o can_v not_o speak_v so_o for_o that_o shall_v be_v to_o speak_v unproper_o to_o say_v god_n be_v with_o himself_o so_o then_o let_v we_o know_v that_o this_o word_n have_v some_o distinction_n and_o be_v indeed_o to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o heavenly_a father_n beginning_n christ_n beget_v from_o before_o all_o beginning_n for_o it_o be_v that_o word_n that_o be_v beget_v from_o before_o all_o time_n see_v that_o god_n always_o have_v his_o counsel_n and_o his_o wisdom_n and_o we_o must_v not_o for_o all_o that_o so_o much_o as_o imagine_v or_o think_v upon_o a_o beginning_n for_o we_o may_v not_o say_v that_o god_n have_v at_o any_o time_n be_v without_o his_o understanding_n counsel_n and_o wisdom_n so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o set_v aside_o and_o separate_v from_o god_n the_o propriety_n of_o this_o word_n as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o can_v judge_v that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o certain_a time_n wherein_o it_o have_v not_o be_v with_o god_n for_o this_o

certain_a and_o a_o assure_a distinction_n of_o they_o as_o be_v in_o this_o place_n declare_v and_o with_o all_o let_v we_o remember_v a_o old_a doctor_n sentence_n which_o be_v very_o worthy_a to_o be_v think_v upon_o because_o it_o be_v excellent_a i_o can_v not_o say_v he_o think_v upon_o these_o three_o propriety_n that_o be_v set_v out_o unto_o i_o in_o god_n but_o that_o immediate_o my_o

the_o faithful_a shall_v know_v god_n know_v the_o father_n they_o will_v come_v to_o his_o wisdom_n who_o be_v this_o word_n of_o which_o there_o be_v speak_v in_o this_o place_n they_o will_v come_v also_o incontinent_o to_o that_o virtue_n and_o power_n whereof_o we_o have_v in_o part_n say_v somewhat_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v once_o know_v these_o three_o person_n they_o will_v not_o

yea_o such_o a_o one_o and_o only_a god_n indeed_o as_o have_v in_o such_o sort_n create_v the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v undo_v any_o thing_n of_o all_o that_o which_o be_v

distinction_n which_o be_v between_o he_o and_o the_o father_n now_o he_o add_v that_o that_o word_n be_v god_n and_o this_o he_o do_v the_o more_o full_o and_o better_a to_o express_v that_o which_o he_o mean_v god_n christ_n be_v very_a god_n to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n create_v which_o have_v have_v a_o beginning_n but_o that_o he_o be_v our_o true_a and_o very_a god_n this_o place_n have_v be_v ill_o understand_v of_o some_o judgement_n read_v this_o with_o reverence_n and_o judgement_n and_o they_o have_v also_o foolish_o translate_v it_o as_o to_o say_v god_n be_v the_o word_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o word_n the_o father_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o god_n but_o s._n john_n mean_v to_o speak_v altogether_o the_o contrary_a to_o wit_n that_o this_o word_n be_v god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o deity_n and_o godhead_n be_v of_o the_o same_o essence_n with_o the_o father_n so_o he_o shut_v not_o the_o father_n out_o from_o the_o deity_n but_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o only_a essence_n in_o god_n and_o although_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n between_o god_n and_o his_o word_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o simple_a and_o plain_a truth_n that_o they_o be_v one_o god_n which_o we_o must_v worship_v etc._n arius_n nestorius_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o old_a heretic_n travail_v very_o sore_o to_o pervert_v this_o place_n to_o the_o end_n

that_o this_o gospel_n be_v according_a to_o s._n john_n 7.16_o the_o gospel_n be_v from_o jesus_n christ_n john_n 7.16_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o from_o a_o

jesus_n christ_n certain_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o deed_n jesus_n christ_n use_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v not_o he_o but_o that_o he_o preach_v it_o in_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n his_o father_n from_o who_o it_o proceed_v and_o all_o this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v bear_v so_o much_o the_o more_o reverence_n to_o this_o doctrine_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o receive_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n but_o as_o the_o pure_a truth_n of_o god_n which_o be_v preach_v and_o declare_v by_o his_o only_a son_n s._n

of_o saint_n john_n be_v too_o declare_v unto_o we_o how_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v to_o be_v when_o he_o appear_v or_o show_v himself_o in_o the_o world_n neither_o yet_o that_o then_o he_o begin_v only_o too_o spread_v abroad_o his_o power_n in_o every_o place_n eternity_n christ_n be_v very_a god_n from_o all_o eternity_n for_o he_o be_v already_o from_o all_o time_n and_o before_o all_o time_n his_o power_n abroad_o already_o in_o himself_o and_o he_o take_v it_o not_o from_o any_o other_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n which_o at_o the_o last_o be_v manifest_v and_o we_o know_v it_o now_o see_v jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v send_v into_o the_o world_n wherefore_o s._n john_n mente_fw-la

we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o whole_a we_o must_v particular_o and_o by_o piecemeal_o mark_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o speak_v the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o here_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o word_n the_o reason_n be_v word_n why_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n because_o it_o be_v that_o very_a wisdom_n which_o have_v always_o be_v in_o god_n and_o his_o counsel_n and_o his_o power_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v not_o in_o this_o place_n the_o thing_n declare_v and_o set_v out_o as_o they_o

and_o plain_o declare_v as_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o understand_v the_o same_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o understand_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o be_v here_o simple_o declare_v untoo_o we_o child_n god_n have_v in_o his_o word_n reveal_v sufficient_a for_o his_o child_n for_o our_o lord_n know_v that_o which_o be_v

these_o matter_n man_n have_v overwhelm_v themselves_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o mean_v beside_o the_o revelation_n of_o of_o the_o doctrine_n to_o search_v out_o with_o a_o certain_a curiosity_n
