Q. Why do you say a manner?
Q. Why doe you say a manner?
A. Because there be divers turnings, that the God-head puts upon it self.
A. Because there be divers turnings, that the God-head puts upon it selfe.
Q. How?
A. The God-head is full of wisdom and understanding: Now the ⟨p. 6⟩Fathers understanding casts it back again upon himself; for if he had understanding before the world; then there must needs be somewhat to be understood: but there was none but himself, therefore he casts it back upon himself.
A. The God-head is full of wisdome and understanding: Now the ⟨p. 6⟩Fathers understanding casts it back againe upon himselfe; for if he had understanding before the world; then there must needs be somewhat to be understood: but there was none but himself, therefore he casts it back upon himself.
2. This being understood is the Son, the wisdom of the Father, and the third Person being willed is the Spirit, who notwithstanding are all one. As long as a man teacheth, he is a Master; but when he is taught, he is a Scholar: practice comes from teaching; after a man is taught he becomes a practitioner: here now be divers behaviours, yet all but one man. As a Sun beam falling upon a wall, casts back its heat; so doth the Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son.

Quest. What is that which is common to all the Persons?
A. The God-head is common to them all; and whatever is proper to the God-head, is proper to all the rest; with this difference, in ⟨p. 7⟩regard of the particular relation that every one of them hath; the Fathers property being to beget, the Son to be begotten, and the Spirit to proceed: none of them exceeding the other in time, but in order only.
