i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o other_o particular_a in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n viz._n trinity_n in_o unity_n this_o mystery_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o open_v as_o i_o have_v see_v it_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o my_o enlighten_v mind_n and_o show_v how_o the_o holy_a trinity_n do_v subsist_v as_o one_o in_o one_o only_a ground_n or_o divine_a essence_n object_n you_o will_v say_v if_o three_o do_v subsist_v in_o one_o only_a essence_n that_o seem_v to_o make_v a_o quaternity_n and_o not_o a_o trinity_n answ._n this_o be_v a_o ill_a draw_v consequence_n and_o a_o mere_a mistake_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v rectify_v thus_o the_o one_o only_a ground_n or_o essence_n in_o which_o the_o holy_a trinity_n do_v subsist_v be_v the_o eternal_a unity_n and_o this_o eternal_a unity_n in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n subsist_v in_o the_o father_n unity_n so_o that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v one_o with_o the_o eternal_a unity_n from_o whence_o they_o flow_v forth_o and_o as_o they_o have_v their_o beginning_n from_o the_o unity_n so_o they_o end_v in_o the_o same_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v we_o this_o fundamental_a truth_n that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v one_o and_o yet_o three_o in_o that_o oneness_n 1_o joh._n 5._o 7._o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o the_o eternal_a unity_n the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o father_n and_o son_n so_o that_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o and_o be_v but_o one_o ever_o bless_v god_n though_o distinguish_v in_o their_o go_n forth_o and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o themselves_o now_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v pure_a unity_n and_o pure_a unity_n be_v pure_a deity_n and_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n they_o be_v all_o unity_n and_o pure_a deity_n and_o as_o they_o have_v but_o one_o undivided_a nature_n so_o they_o have_v but_o one_o eye_n one_o understanding_n one_o will._n but_o if_o any_o one_o inquire_v further_o what_o this_o eternal_a unity_n and_o deity_n be_v which_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n i_o answer_v that_o none_o know_v this_o but_o the_o unsearchable_a trinity_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o further_a knowable_a by_o angel_n or_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v what_o it_o be_v but_o notwithstanding_o that_o we_o say_v that_o the_o unity_n be_v unknowable_a in_o itself_o to_o angel_n and_o man_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v know_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o trinity_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o one_o ground_n in_o which_o they_o subsist_v and_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o say_v that_o the_o eternal_a unity_n be_v a_o most_o simple_a essence_n free_a from_o all_o duality_n and_o contrariety_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o variety_n may_v consist_v with_o unity_n but_o contrariety_n destroy_v its_o nature_n which_o admit_v of_o no_o mixture_n whatsoever_o now_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n free_a from_o all_o contrariety_n and_o mixture_n it_o follow_v that_o light_n and_o darkness_n love_n and_o anger_n can_v be_v in_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o they_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n because_o these_o contrariety_n will_v necessary_o destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o unity_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n be_v style_v in_o scripture_n a_o god_n that_o be_v angry_a and_o a_o consume_a fire_n and_o in_o other_o place_n he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v light_n and_o love_n which_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o contrariety_n in_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v introduce_v himself_o into_o apostatise_v and_o impure_a nature_n essence_n after_o the_o fall_n whereas_o i_o in_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o eternal_a world_n before_o eternal_a nature_n be_v divide_v by_o the_o fall_n and_o in_o this_o state_n the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v nothing_o but_o eternal_a unity_n free_a from_o any_o contrariety_n or_o mixture_n whatsoever_o and_o thus_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n if_o well_o understand_v manifest_v clear_o hâ—w_a father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v distinct_a and_o yet_o be_v but_o one_o eternal_a unity_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o trinity_n in_o unity_n now_o i_o will_v further_o treat_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n the_o triune_n god_n consider_v in_o himself_o in_o the_o globe_n of_o

nature_n of_o tâ—e_v trinity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n which_o they_o equal_o partake_v of_o for_o as_o the_o father_n be_v all_o purity_n so_o be_v the_o son_n and_o spirit_n anâ—_n from_o this_o purity_n of_o their_o nature_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a trinity_n but_o to_o proceed_v to_o a_o further_o open_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v good_a and_o the_o one_o only_a good_a the_o chief_a good_n wherein_o eternal_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n do_v consist_v in_o which_o ground_n of_o eternal_a goodness_n the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v all_o one_o the_o father_n be_v all_o goodness_n and_o so_o likewise_o be_v the_o son_n and_o spirit_n and_o consequent_o good_a and_o evil_n can_v be_v in_o god_n for_o so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o

globe_n of_o eternity_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o further_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v i_o answer_v that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v iâ—_n themselves_o a_o free_a eternal_a

their_o delight_n with_o wisdom_n and_o again_o the_o whole_a joy_n and_o delight_n of_o wisdom_n be_v the_o flame_a love_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n she_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o thing_n

the_o essential_a property_n of_o god_n wisdom_n 3._o i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o head_n viz._n what_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n i_o find_v that_o wisdom_n discharge_v these_o two_o office_n viz._n 1._o she_o be_v a_o revealer_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o hide_a wonder_n of_o the_o deity_n 2._o she_o be_v a_o enlightner_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n first_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o scripture_n and_o revelation_n assure_v we_o that_o wisdom_n be_v the_o revealer_n and_o manifester_n of_o the_o unsearchable_a secret_n of_o god_n she_o be_v the_o golden_a key_n of_o the_o eternal_a eye_n by_o which_o all_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v unlock_v as_o the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o effect_v and_o create_v all_o thing_n so_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o manifest_v and_o reveal_v all_o thing_n she_o never_o bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n also_o be_v call_v a_o pure_a virgin_n but_o only_o discover_v and_o manifest_v whatsoever_o the_o holy_a trinity_n by_o their_o effecting-creating-power_n be_v please_v to_o bring_v forth_o this_o wisdom_n be_v the_o companion_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n by_o she_o out_o go_v glance_n reveal_v the_o wonder_n contain_v in_o it_o she_o be_v as_o a_o handmaid_n wait_v upon_o the_o holy_a trinity_n to_o declare_v publish_v and_o make_v know_v their_o counsel_n secret_n and_o wonder_n second_o the_o other_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o deep_a abyss_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n it_o be_v wisdom_n bright_a glance_n which_o be_v the_o day_n and_o light_n of_o this_o most_o holy_a mansion_n not_o a_o create_a light_n but_o a_o pure_a divine_a light_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o god_n be_v call_v a_o light_n in_o who_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o divine_a philosopher_n seem_v to_o give_v a_o different_a account_n concern_v wisdom_n than_o i_o have_v here_o give_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o easy_o grant_v that_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o holy_a enlighten_v man_n have_v speak_v concern_v wisdom_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o here_o i_o have_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a for_o they_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n after_o the_o production_n of_o eternal_a nature_n as_o wisdom_n be_v introduce_v into_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o eternal_a nature_n whereas_o i_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n existence_n with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n in_o the_o still_a eternity_n before_o ever_o eternal_a nature_n be_v bring_v forth_o the_o four_o wonder_n which_o my_o spirit_n be_v make_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o the_o still_a eternity_n be_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o stand_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n saint_n john_n do_v oft_o make_v mention_n of_o these_o in_o the_o revelation_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o they_o there_o as_o they_o be_v see_v by_o he_o on_o mount_n zion_n in_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n after_o their_o be_v introduce_v into_o the_o work_a property_n of_o pure_a nature_n whereas_o i_o treat_v of_o they_o here_o aâ—_n they_o be_v see_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n before_o the_o existence_n of_o pure_a nature_n out_o of_o which_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n be_v create_v and_o bring_v forth_o by_o the_o holy_a trinity_n and_o according_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v between_o these_o seven_o spirit_n here_o mention_v and_o those_o seven_o generate_a fountain-spirit_n out_o of_o which_o pure_a nature_n and_o her_o â—lements_n be_v generate_v according_a to_o the_o high_o enlighten_v behme_n for_o those_o be_v the_o work_a power_n of_o eternal_a nature_n whereas_o these_o be_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n which_o â—as_v before_o eternal_a nature_n co-existing_a with_o the_o holy_a triâ—ity_n and_o divine_a wisdom_n in_o the_o

still_a eternity_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o viz._n their_o number_n which_o be_v seven_o for_o so_o they_o be_v name_v to_o i_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o do_v indeed_o subsist_v one_o in_o another_o and_o through_o another_o and_o appear_v but_o as_o one_o power_n yet_o they_o be_v seven_o in_o number_n even_o seven_o distinguishable_a power_n flow_v from_o and_o root_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o trinity_n they_o be_v not_o distinguish_v to_o i_o by_o their_o several_a name_n but_o only_o by_o their_o number_n though_o i_o know_v that_o as_o they_o be_v in_o eternal_a nature_n they_o enjoy_v â—heir_o several_a distinct_a name_n but_o it_o be_v not_o time_n now_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o because_o here_o we_o consider_v they_o as_o exist_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n out_o of_o and_o before_o eternal_a nature_n 2._o as_o to_o their_o birth_n and_o originality_n they_o spring_v and_o proceed_v from_o the_o temple-body_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o they_o have_v their_o subsistence_n in_o the_o same_o for_o as_o wisdom_n be_v a_o beam_n or_o glance_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n eye_n and_o subsist_v in_o the_o same_o so_o these_o seven_o spirit_n or_o seven_o lustrous_a power_n proceed_v from_o the_o divine_a body_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o from_o their_o source_n and_o original_n and_o subsist_v in_o the_o same_o as_o in_o their_o true_a ground_n 3._o the_o three_o particular_a i_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o seven_o spirit_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o declare_v to_o you_o in_o these_o follow_a proposition_n 1._o the_o â—irst_n be_v this_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v 〈◊〉_d many_o various_a outgoing_a power_n immediate_o proceedâ—ing_v from_o the_o body_n of_o

be_v a_o variation_n of_o that_o one_o all-effecting_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o as_o the_o supreme_a unity_n vary_v itself_o into_o a_o trinity_n so_o the_o all-effecting_a power_n of_o the_o trinity_n vary_v itself_o into_o a_o septenary_n or_o seven_o spirit_n 2._o in_o the_o second_o place_n these_o seven_o spirit_n be_v coessential_a power_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o consequent_o with_o the_o whole_a trinity_n for_o they_o immediate_o procee_v from_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o be_v essence_n out_o of_o his_o essence_n and_o therefore_o must_v

which_o be_v never_o without_o these_o spirit_n proceed_v from_o they_o and_o consequent_o these_o seven_o spirit_n must_v needs_o be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n but_o here_o we_o
