Of God, and of the Holy Trinity

There is but one only¹ living and true God,² who is infinite in being and perfection,³ a most pure spirit,⁴ invisible,⁵ without body, parts,⁶ or passions,⁷ immutable,⁸ immense,⁹ eternal,¹⁰ incomprehensible,¹¹ almighty,¹² most wise,¹³ most holy,¹⁴ most free,¹⁵ most absolute,¹⁶ working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will,¹⁷ for his own glory;¹⁸ most loving,¹⁹ gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;²⁰ the rewarder of them that diligently seek him;²¹ and withal most just and terrible in his judgments;²² hating all sin,²³ and who will by no means clear the guilty.²⁴

God hath all life,¹ glory,² goodness,³ blessedness,⁴ in and of himself; and is alone in and unto himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he hath made,⁵ nor deriving any glory from them,⁶ but only manifesting his own glory in, by, unto, and upon them: he is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things;⁷ and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever himself pleaseth.⁸ In his sight all things are open and manifest;⁹ his knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature;¹⁰ so as nothing is to him contingent or uncertain.¹¹ He is most holy in all his counsels, in all his works, and in all his commands.¹² To him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience, he is pleased to require of them.¹³

In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.¹ The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father;² the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.³
