That God is of himfelfe, that is, neither from another, nor of another; nor by another, nor for another; But is a Spirit, who as his being is of himfelfe, fo he gives being, moving, and prefervation to all other things, being in himfelfe eternall, moft holy, every way infinite ind greatneffe,wifdome,power, juftice,goodneffe, truth, &c. In this God-head, there is the Father, the Sonne, and the Spirit; being every one of them one and the fame God; and therefore not divided, but diftinguifhed one from another by their feverall properties; the Father being from himfelfe, thef Sonne of the Father from everlafting, the holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Sonne.
