God is Truth in himself, and Truth towards his Creatures: He is Truth in himself, 1. As he truly is, and really existeth: Hence he is styled the true God, Jer 10.10. John 17.3. in opposition to Idols, or false gods, 1 Thess. 1.9. So he is truly infinite, truly all-sufficient, truly eternal, truly immutable, &c. 2. As he is the unchangeable Archetype ⟨p. 85⟩and Idea of all true things without himself, so all created things are true, as they answer their patterns in his mind. 3. In his immanent Actions, as his Decrees, and eternal Resolutions, are all certain, and attain a punctual accomplishment, Psal. 33.11. He is never deceived nor disappointed in his Purposes.
