GOD and Good.
Lo, I begin with him, that hath no Beginning, but is the Beginning of all other Beings, God: And would only tell you (for I must not loose my self in this Mystery) that this God is Good. In himself Goodness;1 Good to us. Psal. 100. The Lord is Good: his mercy is everlasting. 2He is True Life, saith August. A Quo aucrt••, cadere: in Quem conuerti, resurgere: in Quo manere, vinere est. From Him to turn, is to fall: to Him to return, is to rise: in Him to abide, is to live for ever.
