Chapter 2 : Of God and Of the Holy Trinity

Almighty, every way infinit, (k.) most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute, (l.) working all things according to the councel of his own immutable, and most righteous will, (m.) for his own glory, most loving, gracious, merciful, long suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin, (n.) the rewarder of them that diligently seek him, and withall most just, (o.) and terrible in his judgements, (p.) hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the (q.) guilty.
