Chapter II: Trinity.

VII. All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all; yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed for salvation are so clearly propounded and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them. 5. Although there be some hard things in the Scripture, . . . yet all things necessary to be known unto everlasting salvation are clearly delivered therein; and nothing of that kind is spoken under dark mysteries in one place which is not in other places spoken more familiarly and plainly, to the capacity both of learned and unlearned.

Trinity.
I. There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, etc. 8. There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness, etc. III. 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. And in unity of this Godhead, there be three persons of one and the same substance, power, and eternity--the Father the Son, and the Holy Ghost. [English Art. I.]
