Chapter 2: Of God And Of The Holy Trinity PARAGRAPH 2 God, having all life,17 glory,18 goodness,19 blessedness, in and of Himself, is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creature which He hath made, nor deriving any glory from them,20 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,21 and He hath most sovereign dominion over all creatures, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever Himself pleases;22 in His sight all things are open and manifest,23 His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to Him contingent or uncertain;24 He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works,25 and in all His commands; to Him is due from angels and men, whatsoever worship,26 service, or obedience, as creatures they owe unto the Creator, and whatever He is further pleased to require of them. 17 John 5:2618 Ps. 148:1319 Ps. 119:6820 Job 22:2–321 Rom. 11:34-3622 Dan. 4:25,34–3523 Heb. 4:1324 Ezek. 11:5; Acts 15:1825 Ps. 145:1726 Rev. 5:12-14
