The father as fountain & original, of whom the son is engendered, is first described: for that it is he which is, which ⟨p. 21⟩was, and which is to come. Those words toke John out of Moses in the .iii. and .xxxiiii. chap. of Exod. & out of many testimonies of Isaiah. And he saith nothing, but that God the father is an eternal essence, which consisteth by and of it self, and is and giveth life to all, and in all preserveth the same. And that this essence is such, that it hath been always with out beginning. For this is it, that he joineth to being, or existing, was. He addeth, and he that shall come ([Greek or Hebrew]) which shall be, and shall remain even to the end, and to everlastingness without end. The Greeks derive [Greek or Hebrew] of running, for that conning and running, he meddleth with all matters: is every where present, bringing help to the godly, or restraining and punishing the wicked.
