:9p. 4–5¶1

1. THE first is touching the Persons in the Trinity; that there be Three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and all but One God, this is a known Principle of our Christian Faith, and held forth in every Creed: and that it is of the Foundation, appears by this, 1 Joh. 2 23. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; therefore when a man upon pretence there is but one God, will have no more Persons but One, and the Son he will not have to be as he is, God, this ⟨p. 5⟩man overthroweth the Foundation of Christian Religion, as Arius did, and others after him; the Holy Ghost is joined together with the rest in our Baptism; I Baptise thee into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; this is a Profession of part of our Christianity, and a great part of it too, Mat. 28.19, 20.
