JO. I will prove the these things by the word of god. When John did baptise Christ in Jordan, the heavens did open, & he did see the spirit of god descending and coming down upon him. And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my well-beloved son, In whom I am pleased. Who will say now that John knew not the father & the holy ghost. ⟨image 13⟩John .iij.1 Chap. He doth celebrate and set forth with many goodly praises, the majesty of Christ, among all other things, speaking after this manner: He whom god hath sent, speaketh the word of god. For god doth not give him the spirit after a measure. The father loveth the son and hath given all things into his hand These things do testify and witness that John did know right well the mystery of the trinity and unity in Christ
