of the minde of man: the knowledge of naturall
principles, and amongst them of this, that there is
a God: 4 The feares of conscience in the wicked:
5 The punishments of sinne in this life: 6 The in∣stituting
and preservation of Civile order: 7 The
vertues and singular motions in heroike mindes:
8 The significations of future things: 9 The desti∣nating
and appointment of all thinges vnto cer∣taine
ends: 10 The order of causes not proceeding
to infinitie.
5 That there is but one true God, besides the
testimonies of Gods word, these also proue. 1 The
revealing of one true God only: 2 The most high
and excellent maiestie, perfection, and omnipo∣tencie
of the true God. 3 Because more then one
would be either idle or superfluo••.
6 Lastly, they who doe not oppose themselues
against reason, confesse that God is a nature spiri∣tuall,
intelligent, eternal, divers frō al other things,
incōprehensible, in it selfe most perfect, immuta∣ble,
of infinite power, wisdome, & goodnes, iust,
chaste, true, merciful, bountifull, most free, angrie
for sinne, governing the world.
7 But without the light of Gods word men nei∣ther
vnderstand these things which they confesse
of God, neither know anie of those things, which
the voice of heavenly doctrine, that is, the scrip∣ture,
addeth to this knowledge of God, as of the
eternal father and son & holy Ghost, of the crea∣tiō
of things, sending his son, gathering his disper∣sed
church, vniversall iudgment, & eternall life.
