For he being the chiefest good, he can nei∣ther be made euill, nor can doe ill; and bee∣ing trueth it felfe, he cannot lie; being iustice it selfe he cannot doe vniustlie; beeing life it selfe, how should he die? Finallie being onely one god, and that vncreated and eternall, sub∣sisting only in three persons: we beleeue and confesse, that he can not so take anie creature to himselfe, to make the same 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 con∣substantiall to himselfe, and wholie such as he himselfe is, or constitute a fourth person: and wee are perswaded that nothing is drawne or taken away from the omnipotencie of god by this confession: yea surely whatsoeuer is al∣readie done it cannot be that the same should not haue bin done: so that it is certaine, that what so implieth a contradiction, the same cannot bee done by God, who is the especiall trueth it self. For by this reason, euen the om∣nipotencie of God, whereby they were done should be apparentlie denied.
