3. Aquellos de la iglesia que han negado al Señor, reconociendo tan sólo al Padre, y que se han confirmado en semejante fe, están fuera del cielo, y puesto que en ellos no tiene lugar influjo alguno del cielo, donde el Señor solo es adorado, son gradualmente privados de la facultad de pensar la verdad de cualquier cosa, y acaban por quedar o bien como mudos o bien hablando necedades, con el paso vacilante, los brazos pendientes y vibrando como si les faltare fuerzas en las articulaciones. Por otra parte, aquellos que han negado la Divinidad del Señor, reconociendo tan sólo su Humanidad, como los Socinianos, están igualmente fuera del cielo; son conducidos adelante un poco hacia la derecha, y despedidos en la profundidad, siendo así enteramente separados del resto del mundo cristiano. Pero los que se dicen creer en una Divinidad invisible, a la que llaman Ente del Universo (Ens Universi) y a la que atribuyen todas las cosas, rechazando la fe en el Señor, se aperciben de que no creen en Dios alguno, porque la Divinidad invisible es para ellos lo mismo que la Naturaleza en sus rudimentos, los cuales no pueden ser objeto de fe ni de amor porque no alcanza a ellos el pensamiento. Estos son desterrados con aquellos que se llaman naturalistas. Otra cosa sucede con los que han nacido fuera de la iglesia, llamados gentiles, de quienes hablaremos más adelante.
Psalms 33
1
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4
For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6
By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11
The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13
Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18
Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
19
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
21
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22
Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you. By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
