Q. What is the second thing that the Scripture teacheth concerning God?
A. What God is, viz. a Spirit.
• 1 Most simple, without mixture, or composition.
• 2 Eternal, without beginning, or end.
• 3 Infinite, without comprehension of place, or thought.
• 4 Constant, without shadow of change.
• 5 Absolute, in power, holiness, and glory.
Q. How then can he be known of us, being incomprehensible?
A. We only see his back parts, not his face, and conceive of him by his names, expressing what an one he is to us; not in his glorious nature, only known unto himself.
Q. What is the third thing which is taught us concerning God?
A. That there is only one God and no more; as also both nature teacheth, guiding all things to one principle; and reason acknowledgeth, admitting but one that is infinite, and independent.
