Q. 3. Why is his Almightiness to be believed by us?
A. We do not else believe him to be GOD: And we cannot else Reverence, Admire, Trust him and Obey him as we ought.b
Q. 4. Why is his Almightiness only named, and no other properties?
A. All the rest are supposed when we call him GOD. But this is named, because he is first to be Believed in as the Creator; and his Creation doth eminently manifest his Power. And though the Son and the Holy Ghost are Almighty, the Scripture eminently attributeth POWER to the FATHER, WISDOM to the SON, and LOVE and Perfective Operations to the Holy Ghost.
