We have in the beginning of this vision the whole mystery of the blessed Trinity, so much as is needful for us to know,1 & believe, & profess. There is one Seat, in that one seat are contained the sitter lamb & spirit: therefore there is one divine essence & nature, and thereof is one power and majesty, one rule, because there is one throne: briefly there is one god, true, & eternal, for evermore blessed: As Moses also in the 6. of Deuter. and all the prophets and Apostles have every where taught. Howbeit in this only & undivided substance is seen a most plain distinction of persons. For there is he that sitteth in the throne, & the lamb, and from both proceedeth the holy ghost. This mystery of the Trinity we profess in the Creed. This appeareth openly in the incarnation of our lord, whilst the angel sayeth to the virgin, the holy ghost shall ⟨p. 146⟩come upon thee, and the power of the hiest shall overshadow thee: And that which shall be borne of thee, shall be called the son of God. Likewise in the baptism of Christ is heard a voice from heaven upon the Lord: This is my well beloved son. The holy ghost also appeareth in the likeness of a dove. Whereupon the lord commanded us also to be baptized in the name of the father & of the son & of the holy ghost. This profession is certain & true, and so set forth by the most manifest scriptures & lively preaching of the apostles: like as Tertullian declareth against the heretic Praxeas. We ought rather believe & cleave unto these things, than to the monstrous & blasphemous Spanish sophistry of Serve to a man most corrupt.
We haue in the beginning of this visiō the whole misterie of the blessed Trinitie, so much as is nedeful for vs to know,1 & beleue, & professe. There is one Seate, in that one seate are conteined the sitter lambe & spirite: therfore there is one diuine essence & nature, and thereof is one power and maiestie, one rule, because ther is one throne: briefly there is one god, true, & eternal, for euermore blessed: As Moses also in the 6. of Deuter. and al the prophetes and Apostles haue euery where taught. Howbeit in this only & vndiuided substaunce is sene a most plaine distinction of persones. For there is he that sitteth in the throne, & the lambe, and from bothe procedeth the holy ghoste. This misterie of the Trinitie we professe in the Crede. This appereth openly in the incarnation of our lord, whilest the aungell sayeth to the virgin, the holy ghoste shal
