That God is a Spirit most holy, immutable, eternal, every way infinite, in greatness, goodness, power, wisdom, justice, truth, and in all divine perfections, 1 Tim. 6.15, 16. Joh. 4.24. Isa. 6.6. Exod. 34.6, 7. And that in this Godhead are three distinct Persons, coeternal, coequal, and coessential, being every one of them one and the same God, not three Gods, and therefore not divided in essence, nature, or being, Deut. 4.3. but distinguished one from another by their several, and peculiar relative property, the Father is of none but of himself, the Son is begotten of the Father before all worlds; the holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son▪ from all eternity, and together are to be worshipped and glorified.
