112 Also, they allege the song of the three children, wherein, when all creatures are stirred up unto the praises of God, the Son & the holy Ghost are not mentioned: whereby it is plain, that they be not reckoned among creatures. Neither mayest thou say, that this song is a part of the Apocrypha, because this part of Daniel is wanting in the Chaldean edition: for thou shalt see the very same to be done every-where in the Psalms of David, wherein is the same stirring up of creatures unto divine praises. John in his first epistle saith; 2The spirit is truth: and this cannot be written of a creature, seeing truth is chief and principal, 3and dependeth not of another. They are wont to allege the beginning of the book of Genesis, 4where it is said; The spirit of the Lord moved upon the face of the waters. 5In which place they affirm, that there is mention made of three persons, namely, of the Father, which created; of the Son, by whom all things were made (as when it is said, In the beginning, it is all one, as to say, By the beginning;) and of the holy Ghost. I know that the Hebrew expositors interpret far otherwise of these words; but I have only taken upon me to show those places, by which the fathers gathered the Godhead of the holy Ghost. Whereunto add, 6that Paul in his epistles seldom maketh mention of the father and the son, but he also speaketh of the holy ghost, either expressly, or by adding of somewhat pertaining to him. And Basil showeth, 7that it was a custom received in the whole church, to add in the end of the Psalms, that which we now use; Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the holy Ghost, wherein the three persons are made equal the one to the other.
