That God is¹ of Himself, that is, neither from another, nor of another, nor by another, nor for another:² But is a Spirit, who as His being is of Himself, so He gives³ being, moving, and preservation to all other things, being in Himself eternal, most holy, every way infinite in⁴ greatness, wisdom, power, justice, goodness, truth, etc. In this Godhead, there is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit; being every one of them one and the same God; and therefore not divided, but distinguished one from another by their several properties; the⁵ Father being from Himself, the⁶ Son of the Father from everlasting, the Holy⁷ Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son.
