other_o son_n after_o he_o who_o he_o have_v also_o establish_v as_o he_o be_v man_n that_o which_o he_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n as_o god_n lord_n and_o king_n of_o all_o creature_n and_o particular_o of_o true_a christian_n 9_o why_o be_v he_o call_v jesus_n because_o this_o name_n be_v give_v he_o by_o his_o father_n appointment_n who_o command_v joseph_n to_o call_v he_o so_o and_o it_o signifi_v as_o much_o as_o saviour_n which_o holy_a name_n be_v give_v he_o with_o great_a reason_n because_o he_o cave_n to_o save_v and_o redeem_v the_o world_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n and_o thraldom_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o cost_v he_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o his_o own_o proper_a life_n to_o do_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o explicate_v the_o force_n and_o

anoint_v because_o priest_n king_n and_o prophet_n use_v to_o be_v anoint_v with_o oil_n which_o represent_v grace_n to_o signify_v that_o their_o function_n do_v represent_v the_o function_n of_o god_n who_o lieutenent_n they_o be_v in_o these_o charge_n for_o it_o belong_v proper_o to_o god_n to_o govern_v spiritual_o to_o govern_v temporal_o and_o to_o foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v now_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o only_o a_o priest_n a_o king_n and_o a_o prophet_n but_o the_o sovereign_a priest_n of_o priest_n king_n of_o king_n and_o prophet_n of_o prophet_n not_o anoint_v by_o man_n with_o a_o terrestrial_a ointment_n but_o by_o god_n with_o the_o plenitude_n of_o his_o grace_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o name_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o

call_v our_o lord_n first_o because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o second_o also_o as_o man_n because_o he_o be_v our_o redeemer_n for_o he_o who_o redeem_v a_o slave_n as_o all_o we_o be_v be_v most_o proper_o master_v and_o lord_n of_o he_o who_o he_o redeem_v and_o the_o redeem_v be_v most_o true_o his_o servant_n article_n iii_o 12._o declare_v the_o three_o article_n who_o be_v conceive_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n i_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n take_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n our_o nature_n from_o the_o immaculate_a body_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n marie_n not_o by_o any_o operation_n or_o power_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o divine_a virtue_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o frame_v his_o body_n of_o the_o most_o pure_a blood_n of_o a_o virgin_n unite_n a_o soul_n to_o it_o create_v express_o by_o god_n at_o the_o same_o instant_n in_o which_o instant_n also_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n do_v unite_v this_o body_n and_o this_o soul_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o he_o be_v bear_v on_o earth_n most_o pure_a and_o most_o holy_a and_o his_o virgin_n mother_n conceive_v he_o and_o be_v deliver_v of_o he_o remain_v still_o a_o virgin_n yea_o she_o be_v more_o pure_a then_o before_o for_o both_o her_o body_n and_o soul_n receive_v a_o great_a purity_n and_o sanctity_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o by_o her_o conjunction_n to_o the_o sacred_a flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 13._o why_o be_v the_o conception_n of_o our_o saviour_n attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o make_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o dignity_n bestow_v upon_o mankind_n by_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o free_a gift_n proceed_v pure_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o not_o from_o any_o merit_n of_o man_n and_o so_o although_o this_o operation_n be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n as_o all_o outward_a action_n be_v yet_o it_o be_v peculiar_o attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o proceed_v by_o love_n and_o be_v call_v a_o gift_n 14._o why_o be_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v the_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n since_o that_o he_o form_v his_o body_n because_o he_o do_v not_o form_v it_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n nor_o make_v it_o of_o his_o own_o substance_n which_o be_v require_v to_o make_v one_o a_o father_n as_o a_o stone_n carver_n who_o make_v a_o statue_n be_v not_o the_o father_n of_o the_o statue_n though_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n and_o former_a of_o it_o but_o he_o make_v it_o only_o of_o the_o pure_a blood_n of_o the_o virgin_n and_o so_o christ_n have_v in_o this_o second_o generation_n only_o a_o mother_n and_o no_o father_n 15._o wherein_o do_v consist_v the_o wonder_n of_o this_o mystery_n first_o that_o his_o body_n be_v form_v by_o the_o special_a operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o that_o in_o the_o first_o instant_n that_o it_o be_v form_v it_o receive_v a_o reasonable_a soul_n replenish_v with_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o with_o all_o grace_n as_o also_o with_o the_o full_a beatifical_a vision_n and_o fruition_n of_o almighty_a god_n three_o that_o this_o body_n and_o this_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o same_o instant_n unite_v to_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o bless●…_n trinity_n so_o that_o the_o child_n conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n be_v both_o perfect_a god_n and_o perfect_a man_n four_o that_o his_o mother_n be_v both_o a_o virgin_n and_o a_o mother_n and_o last_o that_o she_o be_v mother_n both_o of_o god_n and_o of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o miracle_n of_o miracle_n that_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v god_n and_o man_n beget_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o bear_v in_o time_n omnipotent_a and_o infirm_a and_o yet_o it_o be_v most_o true_a for_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v both_o in_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n without_o confusion_n or_o mingle_v one_o with_o another_o and_o also_o without_o make_v a_o diversity_n of_o person_n which_o may_v be_v some_o way_n exemplify_v in_o two_o graft_n set_v in_o the_o same_o stock_n which_o keep_v still_o their_o different_a nature_n since_o that_o they_o produce_v different_a fruit_n and_o yet_o make_v not_o diverse_a tree_n since_o that_o they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o same_o stock_n 16._o god_n then_o become_v man_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o man_n nor_o man_n into_o god_n nor_o both_o into_o a_o three_o thing_n no_o for_o god_n can_v be_v change_v and_o so_o none_o of_o these_o three_o mutation_n can_v be_v make_v but_o man_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v be_v join_v to_o god_n and_o so_o god_n become_v man_n for_o see_v that_o what_o have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v not_o man_n and_o much_o less_o what_o have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v god_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v in_o christ_n two_o distinct_a nature_n the_o one_o of_o god_n the_o other_o of_o man_n or_o else_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n 17._o be_v man_n join_v equal_o to_o god_n so_o that_o the_o thing_n make_v be_v equal_o god_n and_o man_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o two_o nature_n in_o themselves_o he_o have_v both_o of_o they_o true_o and_o in_o all_o perfection_n but_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o nature_n together_o which_o be_v unite_v in_o the_o same_o person_n certain_o the_o main_a thing_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n and_o man_n but_o a_o small_a portion_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v if_o a_o little_a other_o metal_n be_v cast_v into_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o gold_n the_o coin_n be_v principal_o gold_n and_o be_v common_o call_v so_o so_o since_o that_o god_n be_v infinite_o great_a than_o man_n the_o result_n of_o both_o remain_v principal_o god_n 18._o how_o be_v he_o bear_v he_o be_v bear_v nine_o month_n after_o his_o conception_n as_o other_o child_n use_v to_o be_v to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v true_o man_n he_o be_v bear_v without_o grief_n to_o his_o mother_n to_o show_v that_o the_o bless_a virgin_n be_v opposite_a to_o eve_n to_o who_o it_o be_v say_v in_o dolore_fw-la paries_fw-la thou_o shal_v bring_v forth_o with_o grief_n he_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_n and_o in_o as_o great_a poverty_n as_o the_o poor_a child_n in_o the_o world_n thereby_o to_o humble_v himself_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o the_o great_a he_o be_v in_o himself_o he_o be_v swaddle_v
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
