II. Of God, and of the Holy Trinity.

James Dodson

Chapter II.-Of God, and of the Holy Trinity.

1. There is but one only[a], living, and true God[b]: who is infinite in being and perfection[c], a most pure spirit[d], invisible[e], without body, parts[f], or passions[g], immutable[h], immense[i], eternal[k], incomprehensible[l], almighty[m], most wise[n], most holy[o], most free[p], most absolute[q], working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will[r], for His own glory[s]; most loving[t], gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin[u]; the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him[w]; and withal, most just and terrible in His judgments[x], hating all sin[y], and who will by no means clear the guilty[z]. 
II. God hath all life[a], glory[b], goodness[c], blessedness[d], in and of Himself; and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which He hath made[e], nor deriving any glory from them[f], but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them: He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things[g]; and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever Himself pleaseth[h]. In His sight all things are open and manifest[i]; His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature[k], so as nothing is to Him contingent, or uncertain[l]. He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all His commands[m]. To Him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require of them[n]. 
III. In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost[o]. The Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding: the Son is eternally begotten of the Father[p]: the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son[q].
