A40088	A second defence of the propositions by which the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is so explained according to the ancient fathers, as to speak it not contradictory to natural reason : in answer to a Socinian manuscript, in a letter to a friend : together, with a third defence of those propositions, in answer to the newly published reflexions, contained in a pamphlet, entituled, A letter to the reverend clergy of both universities / both by the author of those propositions.

already_o to_o this_o person_n relate_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o section_n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v upon_o it_o 1._o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o due_a awe_n of_o

of_o to_o understand_v 2._o upon_o the_o simile_n of_o the_o close_a union_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o its_o light_n and_o heat_n as_o he_o word_v it_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o perception_n

but_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o find_v his_o argue_n to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o well_o follow_v upon_o other_o argument_n it_o may_v make_v those_o who_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v so_o down_o right_a

each_o of_o the_o follow_a i_o shall_v i_o think_v dispatch_v as_o easy_o sect._n 58._o he_o say_v that_o whatsoever_o emanes_n or_o any_o way_n proceed_v from_o a_o self-existent_a substance_n except_o it_o be_v create_v and_o then_o join_v to_o it_o be_v as_o self-existent_a as_o that_o substance_n but_o i_o say_v with_o as_o great_a assurance_n that_o whatsoever_o substance_n emanes_n from_o another_o must_v owe_v its_o existence_n to_o that_o other_o and_o the_o contrary_a be_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n as_o to_o his_o reason_n for_o thus_o assert_v viz._n because_o before_o

spiritual_a one_o because_o they_o be_v not_o divisible_a and_o therefore_o have_v no_o part_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a too_o how_o well_o this_o reason_n suit_v to_o eternal_a emanation_n sect._n 59_o this_o section_n have_v several_a very_o surprise_v thing_n in_o it_o as_o 1._o our_o author_n can_v see_v since_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v necessary_a emanation_n how_o they_o owe_v their_o origin_n more_o to_o the_o father_n than_o the_o father_n owe_v his_o to_o they_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v since_o the_o tree_n necessary_o issue_v forth_o from_o the_o root_n and_o the_o ray_n from_o the_o sun_n therefore_o the_o root_n owe_v its_o origin_n no_o less_o to_o the_o tree_n and_o the_o sun_n to_o its_o ray_n than_o the_o tree_n to_o the_o root_n and_o the_o ray_n to_o the_o sun_n 2._o his_o reason_n for_o that_o assertion_n be_v that_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v all_o three_o of_o a_o substance_n that_o be_v self-existent_a but_o i_o say_v only_o the_o two_o latter_a be_v so_o for_o the_o first_o as_o he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v tell_v be_v the_o self_n existent_a substance_n not_o of_o or_o from_o such_o a_o substance_n but_o if_o he_o ask_v i_o how_o they_o emane_n from_o the_o father_n i_o know_v not_o which_o of_o we_o will_v be_v the_o more_o presumptuous_a he_o for_o ask_v and_o for_o endeavour_v to_o answer_n thatquestion_n but_o on_o second_o thought_n i_o will_v undertake_v to_o answer_v it_o when_o he_o shall_v be_v please_v to_o answer_v i_o this_o how_o do_v yourself_o come_v into_o be_v or_o what_o be_v the_o modus_fw-la how_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o be_v what_o it_o be_v or_o to_o be_v at_o all_o 3._o he_o add_v nor_o can_v the_o father_n more_o than_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o separation_n since_o they_o necessary_o separate_v from_o one_o another_o but_o can_v i_o need_v to_o mind_v he_o that_o our_o hypothesis_n will_v not_o bear_v a_o separation_n between_o the_o divine_a person_n and_o only_a assert_n a_o distinction_n between_o they_o and_o sure_o i_o need_v not_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o over-fit_a to_o write_v book_n who_o know_v not_o that_o distinction_n and_o
