Q. 2. Why will Reason allow no more but one God?
A. Because God is the First Being, Revel. 1.11. Saying, I am alpha and omega, the first and the last; and there can be but one First Being, and God is the most perfect, and excellent Being. Psalm 71.19. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hath done great things: O God, who is like unto thee? And there can be but one most Perfect and Excellent Being.
Q. 3. But doth not the Scripture say in 1 Cor. 8.5. That there are Gods many, and Lords many?
A. Yes, there are many in Title, and many in opinion; but one only in Truth. Jer. 10.10. But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting King.
