Neither confounding tlle perrons, nor dl-...

For there is one perú>n of the Fatl1rT;
:\nother of the Son, another of the IIoly
G haft.
But tbe Godhead of tbe Fat11cr, 2nd of
tIle Son, and of t1
e I-Ioly GhaR, is one, tbe
glory equal, the .I\lajcfiy co-eternal.
Such as t 1 ,e f'athrT is, filch is the Son,

1'he Father is eternal, the Son eternal, the
IIoly GhoIt eternal.
And yet not tLree eternals, but onc eter..
nal.
As there are nat three uncreateds, nor-
three incomprehenGbics; but one uncreared,
and one incomprehenfihle:
E\-en fa the Father is almigl1ty, the Son
almighty, the Holy Choit a1nlighty.
j
nd yet not three almighties, but one al..
n1ighty.
So the Father is God, the Son God, and
the Holy GhoU God.
And yet there are not three Gods, but one
only God.
So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord,
nd the Holy Gh()ft is Lord.
Anl
T/Le Crfed of 4"\.thaflauus. 3 8 3
And yet there are not three Lords, but
one Lord.
For as we are conlpeHeà by CLrifiian
truth, to acknowleàg
ea.ch perLrll fe\Oerally
to be God a
d I....ord; {() we are forbid hy
the Cat
lolic rel:gion to ,ß1Y there are three
Gods or Lords.
1'he Father is ':nade of none, neitber
created nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone, neither
made nor created, but bcgo[ten.
The Hely Ghofi is of the Father and the
Son; not Blade nor created, nor begotten,
but proceeding.
There is therefore one Father, not three
Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one
I--Ioly Gh0fi, not three Holy Chons.
And yet in this 'rrinity nothing is before
nor after; noth!ng greater or IeHer; but the
\dlOle three perfons are co-cternal, and co-
,equal.
So that throughout aU, as is abovefaid,
the linity in Trinity, and the rrrinity in U-
nity is to be v.'orfhipped.
He therefore, who defires to be faved, let
hin1 believe thus of the Trinity.
But it is neceffary to eternal [alvation, tbat
he fðithful1v believe the incarnation alfo of
ou r Lord j erus Chrifi.
Tl"'e right faith therefore is, that \\Oe believe
and confc[" that our Lord Jefus Chrin, the

lV. 7 he jzift Alan livfih hy Faith. Rom. i. 11. 0 what
great (hi ugs ZJre contained in this life of faith!
The life of faith fuppofes that one fidl dies to one.So
felf. The fpirituJl death is here tbe beginning of life.
1õ1l are dt'ad, [did the ApofUe, Col. iii. 3. and Jour life
is hi.-l 'With Chrijt in God.
To Jive in faith, is to be only taken up with the
Ðbje8s ofJaith; to think only on the promifes of faith;
and to n1ake our judgment of aU things here bdow, only
with refpta to ,heir agreeabl
nef
\'lith lhe things of
faith.
To live hy faith, it to lead, as to the extcriour, a
commou life; but as to tbe interiour, to unite one's
felf continually to God through Jefus ChTifi.
The life oj faith mainlains itfelf princiþalIy by
mentJI prayer and the holy communion. Prayer puts:
to death the old man; and the noly communion gives
life to the new man.
Xothing is. mors coatrary to the life oj Jait
, than,
the frequ
n:ing the hjgh
life world, with its- c.)mpa-
nie
and a!femblies; idle vilìts, vain compliments,
frivolous letters, &c. l:h1t on the other hand, the life

grows in us by godly cOllvelfathn, by an union
with thofe who arc truly good,
nd by the reading
of [uch fpirÍlual books, as are folidly pious and at.--

The life of faiÛl is mucb hindered by the tumult cf
bufinefs, by the trouble of fèruplcs, by the prejudices
of the mind, by the ddìns of feeing. of acquiring,
of poITeffing, of pleafing, Or of being dleemed: alllhefe
t-hings defhoy that life ,1 faith, which is the life of thc.
