how_o can_v this_o be_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v comprehend_v for_o as_o god_n himself_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o so_o be_v all_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n and_o particular_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n 3._o be_v there_o no_o example_n to_o help_v we_o to_o conceive_v this_o mystery_n yes_o it_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n be_v exemplify_v in_o a_o fountain_n which_o produce_v a_o river_n and_o the_o river_n and_o it_o together_o a_o lake_n for_o the_o lake_n the_o river_n and_o the_o fountain_n be_v distinguish_v from_o one_o another_o and_o yet_o the_o water_n by_o which_o they_o be_v all_o constitute_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 4._o what_o then_o mean_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o unity_n and_o trinity_n of_o god_n it_o mean_v that_o in_o god_n there_o be_v only_o one_o divinity_n or_o as_o we_o say_v essence_n and_o divine_a nature_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v in_o three_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v call_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o every_o person_n be_v true_o that_o one_o god_n 5._o wherefore_o be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o distinct_a person_n because_o they_o have_v three_o distinct_a notion_n for_o though_o the_o be_v of_o the_o godhead_n be_v most_o single_a and_o indivisible_a and_o consequent_o the_o self_n same_o in_o all_o three_o yet_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o be_v be_v not_o the_o same_o but_o each_o one_o have_v his_o special_a manner_n of_o be_v which_o can_v be_v common_a to_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o father_n be_v the_o fountain_n fromwhence_a the_o other_o two_o person_n do_v proceed_v and_o he_o have_v no_o source_n himself_o to_o proceed_v from_o and_o therefore_o he_o produce_v but_o be_v not_o produce_v the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o only_o from_o he_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v both_o from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o hence_o it_o arise_v that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v distinguish_v though_o not_o divide_v one_o from_o another_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n or_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n yet_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 6._o how_o do_v the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n he_o be_v not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v of_o his_o father_n own_o substance_n by_o his_o understanding_n for_o the_o father_n know_v himself_o by_o a_o infinite_a knowledge_n produce_v by_o his_o understanding_n a_o most_o perfect_a word_n or_o expression_n of_o himself_o which_o be_v his_o son_n coeternall_a and_o equal_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o himself_o and_o must_v needs_o possess_v the_o same_o nature_n with_o he_o because_o he_o be_v produce_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n 7._o why_o be_v he_o call_v his_o son_n because_o his_o production_n be_v a_o true_a generation_n for_o as_o the_o end_n of_o generation_n in_o creature_n be_v to_o make_v a_o thing_n like_o in_o nature_n to_o that_o from_o which_o it_o proceed_v so_o do_v the_o word_n of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n produce_v through_o the_o force_n of_o the_o father_n intellectual_a nature_n by_o the_o manner_n of_o its_o production_n natural_o express_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v understand_v which_o be_v god_n the_o father_n himself_o 8._o have_v god_n the_o father_n but_o one_o son_n beget_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n no_o nether_a can_v he_o have_v any_o more_o than_o one_o for_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o god_n then_o in_o man_n because_o no_o man_n can_v give_v all_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v to_o any_o son_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v have_v many_o child_n but_o god_n allmigthy_a do_v give_v his_o own_o substance_n so_o perfect_o to_o his_o son_n by_o generation_n as_o that_o he_o give_v he_o all_o that_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o can_v be_v communicate_v in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o be_v give_v by_o way_n of_o generation_n to_o any_o other_o 9_o how_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n he_o do_v proceed_v from_o they_o both_o as_o from_o one_o only_a source_n and_o not_o as_o make_v or_o create_v nor_o as_o beget_v but_o produce_v through_o the_o will_n by_o a_o ineffable_a way_n which_o divine_v rearme_v spiration_n 10._o what_o be_v spiration_n it_o be_v a_o breathe_n or_o impulse_n of_o the_o will_n by_o which_o it_o express_v its_o affection_n for_o the_o father_n love_v his_o son_n infinite_o as_o be_v his_o only_o beget_v and_o the_o son_n his_o father_n as_o the_o fountain_n from_o who_o he_o proceed_v they_o produce_v a_o mutual_a bond_n of_o love_n whereby_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v ineffable_o link_v together_o and_o this_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n eternal_a god_n and_o equal_a to_o both_o the_o other_o two_o person_n 11._o why_o be_v these_o three_o person_n one_o only_a god_n because_o they_o have_v oneself_o same_o essence_n oneself_o same_o power_n ownself_o same_o wisdom_n oneself_o same_o goodness_n oneself_o same_o understanding_n and_o oneself_o same_o will_n 12._o do_v then_o all_o these_o three_o divine_a person_n create_v the_o world_n yes_o for_o all_o three_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n the_o same_o power_n the_o same_o will_n and_o the_o same_o understanding_n whatsoever_o be_v do_v out_o of_o god_n by_o one_o be_v do_v by_o all_o lesson_n iii_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n 1._o of_o what_o do_v god_n make_v the_o world_n of_o nothing_o 2._o with_o what_o do_v he_o make_v it_o with_o his_o word_n alone_o 3._o have_v not_o he_o then_o need_v of_o some_o instrument_n to_o make_v it_o with_o all_o no_o for_o his_o power_n be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o infinite_a as_o that_o he_o can_v not_o only_o make_v what_o he_o will_v but_o also_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_n 4._o be_v there_o a_o infinite_a power_n require_v to_o create_v the_o world_n yes_o for_o the_o hard_a a_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o more_o force_n be_v require_v to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o and_o the_o more_o remote_a a_o thing_n as_o from_o the_o end_n to_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v move_v the_o more_o force_n be_v require_v to_o move_v it_o thither_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o to_o create_v be_v to_o make_v a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o and_o that_o betwixt_o nothing_o and_o something_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n it_o follow_v that_o creation_n require_v a_o infinite_a force_n or_o power_n in_o he_o who_o creat_v 5._o why_o do_v he_o make_v the_o world_n that_o his_o greatness_n and_o goodness_n may_v be_v see_v and_o adore_v 6._o by_o who_o will_v he_o have_v it_o adore_v by_o man_n and_o angel_n who_o only_o be_v able_a to_o consider_v the_o admirable_a work_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o by_o know_v they_o to_o love_n and_o praise_v his_o goodness_n who_o make_v they_o for_o their_o use_n and_o benefit_n 7._o what_o move_v god_n to_o create_v man_n and_o angel_n do_v he_o want_v they_o or_o do_v he_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o they_o he_o do_v not_o want_v they_o for_o see_v he_o be_v all_o goodness_n he_o can_v want_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o for_o evil_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v desire_v neither_o can_v he_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o they_o for_o he_o who_o have_v all_o get_v nothing_o so_o that_o he_o be_v move_v mere_o through_o his_o own_o goodness_n for_o be_v all_o goodness_n himself_o he_o need_v no_o other_o cause_n why_o to_o do_v good_a then_o that_o himself_o by_o nature_n be_v goodness_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o heat_n to_o make_v hot_a and_o of_o cold_a to_o cool_v so_o be_v it_o the_o nature_n of_o goodness_n to_o do_v good_a 8._o what_o be_v a_o angel_n a_o angel_n be_v a_o spiritual_a creature_n subsist_v complete_o by_o himself_o without_o a_o body_n 9_o what_o become_v of_o the_o angel_n who_o god_n create_v some_o of_o they_o remain_v in_o that_o holy_a estate_n wherein_o they_o be_v create_v and_o so_o be_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n establish_v therein_o and_o become_v happy_a and_o bless_a for_o ever_o other_o keep_v it_o not_o but_o wilful_o lose_v it_o by_o sin_n and_o so_o become_v devil_n and_o be_v condemn_v to_o everlasting_a torment_n in_o hell_n 10._o how_o many_o angel_n be_v there_o create_v the_o multitude_n of_o
acknowledge_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o divine_a grace_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o misery_n from_o whence_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o perpetual_a joy_n and_o acknowledgement_n towards_o god_n for_o that_o we_o be_v bear_v since_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n 8._o how_o do_v god_n allmightie_a

the_o incarnation_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a mystery_n whereby_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v unite_v to_o our_o nature_n after_o that_o it_o be_v become_v mortal_a and_o subject_a to_o misery_n by_o sin_n 2._o which_o be_v that_o person_n the_o second_o that_o be_v the_o son_n 3._o why_o the_o son_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o he_o come_v to_o make_v we_o son_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_v that_o among_o three_o person_n the_o son_n shall_v be_v choose_v to_o be_v our_o pattern_n

that_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n may_v be_v of_o infinite_a value_n as_o proceed_v from_o such_o a_o person_n it_o be_v necessary_a he_o shall_v be_v man_n because_o the_o godhead_n can_v

a_o thing_n which_o our_o saviour_n do_v teach_v both_o by_o word_n and_o example_n and_o after_o he_o the_o holy_a apostle_n follow_v it_o and_o the_o first_o christian_n do_v practice_v it_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n 6._o wherein_o do_v consist_v the_o counsel_n of_o perpetual_a chastity_n it_o consist_v in_o a_o resolution_n to_o abstain_v perpetual_o not_o only_o

counsel_n of_o entire_a obedience_n it_o consist_v in_o renounce_v our_o own_o proper_a will_n and_o judgement_n which_o in_o holy_a scripture_n be_v call_v the_o deny_v of_o ourselves_o by_o submit_v
