I no name can frame To fitte thy greatnesse but it is too scant Thy goodnesse is as great good Great I grant But where art thou among thy Angels Noe Where then with thy Church euer triumphant There and where not thou art but yet not so As thou art with and in thy selfe I know For twixt the Heau'n where Saints and Angels rest And that same Heau'n of Heauens where thou resid'st Is greater distance then from East to West Yet on the Cherubins thou often rid'st And euery where in Essens thou abid'st But where thy Glories beames doe glitter most With distance infinite thou it deuid'st From all the Orders of the heau'nly Hoast Where to thy selfe thy selfe alone thou sho'st In quintescens of Glories quintescens Which was and is most vnapprochable The Throne is plac'd of thy magnificence Whereon thou sitt st in light vnthinkeable Then not by Tongue or Pen expressable For eu'n as when the Sunne his beames display Because our Eyes to see the same 's vnable We through a scarfe behold them as we may Eu'n so must Man behold Gods Glories ray Such as goe downe into the Sea profound Of deepe Philosophy doe meete thee there Of Men profane thou art there often found For in thy Workes thy steppes do plaine appeare Nay in thy works is stampt thine Image cleere And yet no worke of thine resembles thee So right though Men and Angels drawen neere But that the difference infinite must be Sith thou art infinite in each degree The Deites that in the Starres do dwell Thy Deity their seu'rall Mansions made And all that Sacred Senate found full well That it o're them supreme dominion had Who found it permanent when these did fade By Natures light they saw a light extreame Glaunce from his grace that did their glory shade And saw his Image true as in a dreame Together with the new Ierusalem This goodly Great or greatly Good is he So good so great as none so great or good That was that is and euermore shal be In each respect without all liklyhood Including in his threefold-single Godhood Notions Properties Relations In whom they stil as in their Subiect stood Then all Diuines diuide the Notions Into fiue braunches or partitions Namely into Innascibility Fatherhood breathing or Spiration Son-hood Procession these fiue naturally Dependeth still by Logicall relation Vpon the mistery of the Trinity All which conioynd makes but one Unity The two first solely to the Sire pertaines The third to Sire and Sonne indifferently The fourth the Sonne within himselfe retaines And to the holy-spirit the fift remaines Which Notions are Relations in some sence For Father Sonne doth euer presuppose And Sonne a Father by like consequence The holy Spirit proceeding from both those Implieth them from and with whom he goes The Notion of Innascibility Is no Relation sith it doth suppose No other person in the Trinity But is a Notion noting Vnity The two first is the Fathers in respect He onely doth beget and doth vnite Spiration Father and the Sonne effect From it the Holy-Ghost's excluded quite They breathe and what is breathed is that Sprite But Filiation solely to the Sonne Doth appertaine sith only Sonne hee hight For as one Father so one Sonne alone The Trinity affords and brookes but one cession with the holy Spirit accords And only with that Spirit it doth agree As with the other two three other words Agreed and did with him quite disagree So this alone applied to him must be For if they breath'd him foorth as erst was said None can be sayd then to proceed but he Sith from the other two he is conuaide Yet in the other two he still is staid Now in another Sence we may transmute These Notions into Properties To witt When they doe one and not another sute As father doth the Father only fitt The Sonne the Sonne and to the holy Sprite Procession is peculiar And againe Innascibility we must admitt The Father But Spiration th' other twaine Then name of Property t' will not sustaine So in the Trinity fiue Notions are Foure Properties and foure Relations Wherein besides are other Secrets rare Founded vpon vnsearchable foundations The Sires beginning is th' eternall Sonnes Though he be said to be the Sonnes beginning Yet no beginning had these holy ones But from beyond Beginnings both haue bin Nor can their neuer endings euer li● The Sire and Sonnes beginning being one Breath foorth their blessed Spirit a third one being VVhich by a generall creation Beginning gaue to all in one agreeing And from eternity the same foreseeing The greatest Monarch and the least Insect With earthly things aquaticall or fleeing Whose seu'rall shapes and what they should effect Had euer being in their Intellect et how they should there actually exist And by what meanes they should haue entrance there Sith there eternally they did subsist Is hard for Man to know who doth appeare A Chaos of defect and folly meere They entred not by meanes into his mind As from Ideas which without him were VVithout whom nothing is in any kind Then in him selfe he all that all doth finde Yet are they not of such necessity As without them he could no way exist For they on him not he on them rely Then how eternally can they consist Sith he alone doth only so subsist They are not of his Nature but his wil His Intellect inciting to insist In knowledge of what that will should fulfill So in that knowledge they existed still For as to God it is most naturall To know himselfe in whome he all doth seet Eu'n so to him it is essentiall To know the kindes of all things as they be Or else he should not know his owne degree Yet his essentiall knowledge doth not stretch Vnto particulars as Mee and Thee For he may well exist without that reach And which his knowledge no way can impeach But all his Science of distinguisht things Flowes from the freedome of his sacred will Drawne from those Notions which his nature brings And are essentiall to his nature still Who made to shew his vniuersall skill What is created in particular As t' were a proofe of that he can fulfill When he is pleas'd to make or mend or marre Then in that skill all things distinguisht are The things that were or are or are to come Makes in his minde no change though chang'd they be Obiects our mindes affect our mindes o'recome But his intelligence is euer free Actiue not Passiue sith all Act is he For as by Sense he makes vs Arts to learne And abstract Formes by other meanes to see So he by meanes can seu'rall things discerne Though it no way his nature doth concerne Who being infinite nought is in him That 's lesse then so but so he could not be If his all-seeing Eies should be so dimme That now he sees what erst he could not see Then sees he all from all eternitie The whole the partes the rootes
