they are in him without all measure and further also that they bee not divers vertues whereby his nature is qualified but that all they and every one of them is nothing else but God himselfe and his intire Essence Wherein doth the life of God shew it selfe Ans. In his alsufficiencie and in his holy will Wherein standeth his Alsufficiency A. In his All-knowing wisdome and his Almighty power Wherein doth his wisdome consist Ans. In perfect knowledge of all things that either are or might be In what sort doth God know all things doth he as we doe see one thing after another Ans. No but with one sight he continually beholdeth all things distinctly whether they be past present or to come How is He God Almighty Ans. Because he hath power to bring to passe all things that can be howsoever to us they may seeme impossible Wherein is the holinesse of his will seen Ans. In his goodnesse and in his justice Wherein doth he shew his goodnesse Ans. In being beneficiall unto his creatures and shewing mercy unto them in their miseries Wherein sheweth he his justice Ans. Both in his word and in his deeds How sheweth he justice in his Word Ans. Because the truth thereof is most certaine How sheweth he justice in his deeds Ans. By ordering and disposing all things rightly and rendring to his creatures according to their works What doe you call Persons in the Godhead Ans. Such as having one Essence or being equally common are distinguished not divided one from another by some incommunicable property How commeth it to passe that there should be this diversitie of Persons in the Godhead Ans. Though the Essence or being of the Godhead be the same and most simply as hath been declared yet the manner of this being is not the same and hence ariseth the distinction of persons in that beside the being which is common to all and the self-same in all they have every one some especiall property which cannot be common to the rest Which are these persons and what are these personal Properties Ans. The first Person in order is the Father who begetteth the Son The second is the Sonne begotten of the Father The third is the Holy-Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son Doth the Godhead of the Father beget the God-head of the Son Ans. No but the Person of the Father begetteth the Person of the Sonne Thus much of Gods nature what are we to consider in his Kingdome Ans. First the decree made from all eternity and then the execution thereof accomplished in time How was the decree made Ans. All things whatsoever should in time come to passe with every small circumstance appertaining thereunto was ordained to be so from all eternitie by Gods certaine and unchangeable counsell Did God then before he made man determine to save some reject others Ans. Yes surely before they had done either good or evill God in his eternall counsel set some apart upon whom he would in time shew the riches of his mercy and determined to withhold the same from others on whom he would shew the severity of his wrath What should move God to make this difference between Man and Man Ans. Only his owne pleasure whereby having purposed to create man for his owne Glory forasmuch as he was not bound to shew mercie unto any and his Glory should appeare as well in executing of justice as in shewing mercy It seemed good unto His Heavenly wisdome to chuse out a certain number towards whom he would extend his undeserved mercy leaving the rest to be spectacles of his justice Wherein doth the execution of Gods decree consist Ans. In the works of the Creation and providence What was the manner of the Creation Ans. In the beginning of time when no creature had any being God by his Word alone did in the space of six dayes create all things both visible and invisible making every one of them good in their kinde What are principal creatures which were ordained unto an everlasting condition Ans. Angels altogether spirituall and void of bodies And Man consisting of two parts the body which is earthly and the ●●ule which is spirituall and therefore not subject to mortality In what regard is man said to be made according to the likenesse and Image of God Ans. In regard especially of the perfections of the powers of the soule namely the wisdome of the mind and the true holinesse of his free-will How are you to consider of Gods Providence Ans. Both as it is common unto all the creatures which are thereby sustained in their being and ordered according to the Lords will and as it properly concerneth the everlasting condition of the principal creatures to wit Angels and men What is that which concerneth Angels Ans. Some of them remained in that blessed condition wherein they were created and are by Gods grace for ever established therein Others kept it not but wilfully left the same and therefore are condemned to everlasting torment in Hell without all hope of recovery How is the state of mankinde ordered Ans. In this Life by the tenor of a twofold Covenant and in the World to come by the sentence of a twofold judgement What is the first of these Covenants Ans. The Law or the covenant of workes whereby God promiseth everlasting life unto man upon condition that he performe intire and perfect obedience unto his Law according to that strength wherewith he was indued by nature of his creation in like sort threatneth death unto him if he doe not performe the same What Seale did God use for the strengthning of his Covenant Ans. The two Trees which he planted in the middle of Paradise the one of life the other of knowledge of good and evill What did the Tree of life signifie Ans. That man should have assurance of everlasting life if he continued in obedience What did the Tree of Knowledge of good and evill signifie Ans. That if man did fall from obedience he should be surely punished with everlasting death and so know by experience in himselfe what evill was as before he knew by experience that only which was good What was the event of this Covenant Ans.
