The Third Attribute which it oppugneth, is the truth of God. God is a God of truth, Deut. 32. 4. Truth it self. Joh. 14. 6. So called because he is the fountain of truth, and the perfection of truth, without the least mixture of false-hood; the strength of Israel cannot lye. 1 Sam. 15. 29. Never could any man justly charge him with dissembling; Let God be true and every man a liar, (saith the Apostle) that he might be justified in his sayings, and overcome when he is judged. Rom. 3. 4. That is, men may lye, (for all men are liars) but God cannot lye, (for God is true:) if any man should go about to challenge him of untruth, his challenge would easily appear to be a calumny. The truth of God, like a glorious Sun, will break through all those clouds of accusations which seek to obscure and hide it. Simile gaudet Simili; God loves such as are of a true heart. Psal. 51 6. And hath an hypocrite in utter detestation, and therefore he must needs be true himself. No man (for ought I know) doubts of it.
