And (to conclude) seeing that he is but one onely true God uncreated, eter∣nall, subsisting in three persons one∣ly; We believe and confesse that he cannot assume any creature to him∣self in such manner as to make it co∣essentiall with him, and such alto∣gether as he is, or constitute any fourth person: and we are fully per∣swaded that by this our confession we derogate or detract nothing from Gods Omnipotence. As surely what hath been, God cannot cause not to have been; what formerly hath been done, he cannot cause now not to have been done: For it is most cer∣tain, that he who is Truth it self can∣not do any thing which implies a contradiction. For to say, He can, is openly to deny his Omnipotence, by which he hath done, whatsoever hath been done.
