and_o we_o that_o have_v be_v rule_v but_o with_o a_o iron_n rod_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n able_a to_o break_v all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o powder_v have_v now_o the_o golden_a sceptre_n of_o grace_n stretch_v out_o over_o we_o to_o guide_v we_o through_o the_o path_n of_o righteousness_n in_o this_o world_n unto_o the_o land_n of_o everlasting_a happiness_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o praise_v the_o lord_n all_o we_o heathen_n and_o sing_v unto_o he_o all_o we_o nation_n because_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o anoint_v saviour_n as_o well_o to_o we_o gentile_n as_o to_o the_o jew_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n and_o this_o suffice_v for_o his_o two_o name_n jesus_n christ_n it_o follow_v his_o only_a son_n our_o lord_n where_o you_o see_v that_o every_o good_a christian_n profess_v to_o believe_v how_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v first_o the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o his_o only_a son_n and_o three_o our_o lord_n of_o these_o in_o order_n and_o first_o of_o the_o first_o his_o son_n first_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o when_o you_o hear_v beloved_n you_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o only_o as_o he_o be_v man_n conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n as_o follow_v afterward_o to_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o description_n of_o his_o manhood_n when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o those_o article_n for_o so_o he_o be_v usual_o style_v the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o of_o god_n but_o here_o he_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v the_o son_n of_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n before_o ever_o he_o become_v man_n or_o ever_o man_n be_v or_o indeed_o before_o the_o world_n be_v a_o son_n qui_fw-la non_fw-la in_o temporibus_fw-la esse_fw-la coepit_fw-la sed_fw-la ante_fw-la saecula_fw-la sempiternus_fw-la incomprehensibiliter_fw-la à _fw-la patre_fw-la

nicene_n creed_n god_n of_o god_n light_a of_o light_n very_a god_n of_o very_a god_n beget_v not_o make_v be_v of_o one_o substance_n with_o the_o father_n by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v as_o there_o follow_v so_o that_o as_o the_o father_n be_v eternal_a so_o be_v the_o son_n eternal_a too_o as_o say_v athanasius_n in_o his_o creed_n now_o if_o any_o shall_v be_v inquisitive_a to_o know_v quomodo_fw-la aeternus_fw-la aeternum_fw-la as_o s._n augustine_n speak_v how_o one_o eternal_a shall_v beget_v another_o see_v according_a to_o our_o natural_a reason_n that_o which_o beget_v be_v before_o that_o which_o be_v beget_v i_o may_v answer_v as_o in_o my_o former_a catechism_n about_o the_o name_n of_o father_n generationem_fw-la ejus_fw-la quis_fw-la enarrabit_fw-la who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n esay_n 53.8_o see_v the_o angel_n thereof_o be_v ignorant_a and_o it_o be_v unknown_a to_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o non_fw-la à _fw-la nobis_fw-la discutiendum_fw-la sed_fw-la credendum_fw-la as_o s._n augustine_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v believe_v than_o dispute_v or_o inquire_v into_o too_o far_o but_o yet_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o many_o earthly_a comparison_n both_o in_o his_o word_n and_o work_n by_o which_o we_o may_v make_v some_o resemblance_n and_o attain_v unto_o some_o glimpse_n of_o knowledge_n in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v heavenly_a therefore_o with_o the_o same_o father_n we_o will_v express_v it_o as_o plain_o as_o we_o can_v to_o your_o apprehension_n and_o conceit_n entreat_v you_o with_o he_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o you_o can_v thorough_o and_o plain_o understand_v that_o yet_o you_o will_v believe_v consider_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o until_o you_o believe_v you_o can_v understand_v as_o s._n augustine_n read_v it_o esay_n 7.9_o intellectus_fw-la enim_fw-la est_fw-la merces_fw-la fidei_fw-la as_o he_o further_o say_v understanding_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o seek_v not_o to_o understand_v that_o thou_o may_v believe_v but_o believe_v first_o that_o thou_o may_v understand_v afterward_o nay_o thou_o shall_v understand_v if_o thou_o firm_o believe_v if_o not_o in_o this_o life_n yet_o in_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v when_o thou_o shall_v see_v face_n to_o face_n and_o know_v as_o thou_o be_v know_v well_o then_o quomodo_fw-la aeternus_fw-la aeternum_fw-la say_v thou_o how_o do_v one_o eternal_a beget_v another_o s._n augustine_n shall_v answer_v for_o i_o quomodo_fw-la flamma_fw-la temporalis_fw-la generate_fw-la lucem_fw-la temporalem_fw-la even_o as_o a_o temporal_a flame_n or_o fire_n do_v beget_v a_o temporal_a light_n where_o the_o beget_v light_n be_v coequal_a in_o time_n to_o the_o beget_n flame_n neither_o be_v before_o nor_o after_o other_o so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o flame_n you_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v there_o be_v light_n and_o where_o you_o see_v such_o a_o
