the_o innumerable_a number_n of_o person_n that_o must_v make_v their_o appearance_n there_o scarce_o the_o whole_a earth_n will_v be_v room_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o sessions-house_n for_o such_o

our_o belief_n in_o it_o be_v prophetical_a and_o tell_v what_o christ_n will_v do_v in_o time_n to_o come_v indeed_o none_o of_o the_o article_n concern_v christ_n be_v in_o the_o future_a tense_n but_o only_o this_o as_o none_o of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n but_o only_o the_o next_o before_o he_o fit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n all_o the_o other_o article_n be_v in_o the_o preter_fw-la perfect_a tense_n and_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n past_a even_o from_o his_o conception_n to_o his_o ascend_n into_o heaven_n in_o the_o preterperfect_a tense_n all_o

but_o as_o once_o before_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o leave_v heaven_n and_o come_v down_o to_o redeem_v we_o so_o once_o again_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o will_v leave_v heaven_n and_o come_v down_o to_o

indeed_o for_o this_o that_o he_o have_v his_o name_n to_o be_v call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o spirit_n not_o but_o that_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v both_o holy_a and_o spirit_n as_o

to_o we_o and_o more_o for_o make_v we_o capable_a to_o believe_v it_o for_o as_o without_o reveal_v we_o shall_v never_o have_v know_v it_o so_o without_o grace_n we_o can_v never_o have_v believe_v

not_o in_o idea_n represent_v by_o the_o fancy_n but_o in_o the_o miraculous_a verity_n of_o his_o own_o be_v which_o as_o none_o can_v see_v now_o and_o live_v so_o there_o shall_v be_v then_o no_o

how_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v true_a which_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o pater_fw-la major_n est_fw-la i_o the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o not_o great_a than_o he_o only_o as_o man_n for_o this_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n nor_o great_a than_o he_o as_o god_n for_o this_o be_v no_o possible_a matter_n but_o great_a than_o he_o as_o son_n for_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n the_o father_n be_v of_o none_o and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v great_a than_o the_o son_n not_o as_o god_n but_o as_o father_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o christ_n say_v the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o in_o that_o sense_n do_v i_o place_v the_o father_n first_o in_o my_o creed_n and_o say_v first_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o though_o i_o can_v apprehend_v how_o god_n be_v but_o one_o shall_v be_v three_o yet_o i_o believe_v it_o and_o believe_v it_o i_o adore_v it_o and_o though_o i_o can_v apprehend_v how_o almighty_a one_o shall_v be_v almighty_a where_o three_o be_v equal_a yet_o i_o believe_v it_o and_o believe_v it_o i_o admire_v it_o indeed_o if_o god_n be_v not_o almighty_a he_o can_v not_o be_v god_n see_v his_o power_n shall_v be_v limit_v and_o a_o limit_a power_n imply_v a_o great_a power_n that_o limit_n it_o which_o shall_v be_v god_n rather_o than_o he_o and_o therefore_o not_o almighty_a no_o god_n and_o again_o if_o he_o be_v not_o almighty_a our_o belief_n in_o he_o may_v be_v frustrate_a for_o his_o want_n of_o may_v may_v be_v in_o that_o for_o which_o we_o depend_v upon_o he_o and_o if_o no_o depend_v upon_o he_o than_o no_o believe_a in_o he_o neither_o but_o now_o be_v god_n and_o be_v almighty_a we_o believe_v in_o he_o not_o only_o just_o as_o god_n but_o secure_o as_o almighty_a see_v whatsoever_o our_o want_n be_v yet_o he_o be_v almighty_a can_v supply_v it_o how_o great_a soever_o our_o danger_n be_v yet_o he_o be_v almighty_a can_v defend_v we_o how_o strong_a soever_o our_o enemy_n be_v yet_o he_o be_v almighty_a can_v protect_v we_o and_o as_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o can_v so_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o will_v see_v there_o be_v in_o he_o no_o less_o readiness_n to_o do_v it_o as_o be_v a_o father_n then_o power_n to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o as_o be_v almighty_a here_o the_o atheist_n infer_v that_o god_n can_v true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a see_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o he_o can_v do_v as_o he_o can_v die_v he_o can_v lie_v he_o can_v deny_v himself_o and_o if_o he_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n than_o he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o if_o he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n then_o can_v he_o not_o true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a but_o who_o see_v not_o the_o grossness_n of_o this_o subtlety_n see_v theve_fw-mi be_v not_o action_n of_o power_n but_o infirmity_n and_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v thing_n which_o it_o be_v not_o ability_n to_o do_v but_o infirmity_n what_o prejudice_n can_v this_o be_v to_o almightiness_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v so_o proper_o be_v say_v of_o god_n neither_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v these_o thing_n as_o that_o he_o be_v able_a not_o to_o do_v they_o and_o so_o his_o not_o be_v able_a be_v indeed_o a_o ability_n and_o a_o effect_n of_o power_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n for_o this_o to_o deny_v his_o almightiness_n but_o to_o affirm_v it_o rather_o but_o what_o be_v more_o frequent_a with_o heathen_a writer_n then_o to_o call_v their_o feign_a god_n jupiter_n pater_fw-la omnipotens_fw-la the_o almighty_a father_n and_o what_o do_v we_o then_o believe_v more_o in_o this_o than_o the_o heathen_a do_v we_o therefore_o add_v maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o this_o no_o heathen_a man_n do_v ever_o believe_v for_o some_o of_o they_o think_v the_o world_n to_o be_v make_v by_o chance_n and_o by_o the_o casual_a concourse_n of_o atom_n some_o again_o think_v it_o to_o be_v eternal_a and_o not_o to_o have_v be_v make_v at_o all_o none_o of_o they_o ever_o ascribe_v the_o make_v it_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o in_o our_o creed_n we_o just_o say_v god_n the_o father_n as_o against_o the_o jew_n and_o turk_n we_o say_v almighty_a as_o against_o the_o atheist_n and_o we_o say_v maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n as_o against_o the_o heathen_a indeed_o nothing_o do_v so_o manifest_o demonstrate_v the_o almightiness_n of_o god_n as_o the_o make_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n because_o he_o make_v they_o when_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n to_o make_v they_o off_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o

when_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n to_o make_v they_o off_o be_v to_o make_v something_o of_o nothing_o the_o most_o absolute_a character_n of_o almightiness_n that_o can_v be_v if_o we_o shall_v say_v
