certain_o we_o see_v how_o in_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o apostle_n creed_n the_o same_o be_v call_v the_o father_n almighty_n and_o the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o jesus_n

to_o he_o according_a to_o his_o inferior_a nature_n wherefore_o if_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o can_v not_o be_v simple_o or_o without_o any_o limitation_n and_o respect_n of_o a_o

let_v we_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v undoubted_a whence_o be_v it_o manifest_a that_o here_o be_v understand_v the_o unity_n of_o essence_n they_o be_v one_o be_v they_o therefore_o one_o in_o essence_n not_o only_o the_o meaning_n itself_o be_v not_o extant_a but_o neither_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v evince_v by_o lawful_a consequence_n to_o be_v one_o be_v a_o general_a word_n and_o contain_v more_o

indeed_o propose_v but_o not_o forthwith_o a_o determinate_a one_o as_o in_o this_o place_n one_o in_o essence_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v easy_a from_o this_o place_n to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a essence_n of_o those_o three_o than_o one_o yea_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o show_v this_o beside_o in_o which_o word_n be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v a_o person_n they_o must_v of_o necessity_n fly_v to_o consequence_n now_o by_o the_o thing_n say_v it_o appear_v how_o injurious_o they_o deal_v who_o when_o argument_n from_o reason_n be_v bring_v against_o that_o doctrine_n cry_v that_o this_o be_v a_o mystery_n which_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v not_o search_v into_o that_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v these_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v rest_v simple_o upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o shall_v yield_v to_o those_o man_n if_o they_o will_v prove_v that_o doctrine_n by_o perspicuous_a testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o rather_o assert_v it_o against_o open_a and_o clear_a testimony_n of_o they_o but_o now_o when_o they_o can_v produce_v such_o place_n they_o do_v in_o vain_a affright_v we_o with_o the_o name_n of_o a_o mystery_n that_o we_o may_v not_o here_o use_v our_o reason_n and_o so_o endeavour_v as_o with_o a_o gorgon_n head_n set_v before_o we_o to_o turn_v we_o into_o stone_n although_o the_o trial_n of_o reason_n be_v

yea_o reason_n alone_o both_o perceive_v and_o embrace_v and_o defend_v the_o mystery_n reveal_v to_o it_o which_o it_o can_v not_o of_o itself_o find_v out_o paul_n use_v reason_n when_o he_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n etc._n resurrection_n 1_o cor._n 15_o 12_o etc._n etc._n which_o mystery_n even_o most_o of_o all_o exceed_v reason_n further_o add_v that_o the_o adversary_n themselves_o do_v that_o ill_a which_o they_o forbid_v we_o to_o do_v well_o i_o will_v not_o now_o rehearse_v it_o that_o they_o can_v discourse_v of_o the_o difference_n of_o essence_n and_o person_n without_o the_o

i_o now_o urge_v that_o that_o all_o use_v consequence_n when_o they_o dispute_v of_o this_o doctrine_n which_o they_o call_v a_o mystery_n what_o then_o do_v not_o he_o use_v reason_n who_o use_v
