therefore_o perform_v that_o which_o we_o have_v propound_v in_o the_o first_o place_n first_o thence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o three_o person_n in_o one_o god_n

holy_a spirit_n be_v god_n but_o they_o always_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o most_o high_a god_n but_o now_o where_o there_o be_v three_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o among_o themselves_o each_o of_o which_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n there_o be_v three_o most_o high_a go_n reckon_v up_o now_o those_o person_n and_o you_o will_v have_v three_o most_o high_a god_n for_o the_o first_o will_v be_v the_o father_n the_o second_o the_o son_n the_o three_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o matter_n need_v no_o disputation_n with_o he_o who_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o preconceive_a opinion_n concern_v god_n when_o there_o it_o be_v treat_v of_o he_o have_v not_o forget_v to_o number_v three_o a_o large_a defence_n and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o argument_n but_o nevertheless_o they_o

of_o they_o separately_z thus_o far_o it_o may_v be_v pardon_v to_o they_o but_o see_v they_o pronounce_v the_o name_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n of_o each_o person_n distinct_o take_v and_o be_v altogether_o compel_v to_o pronounce_v it_o by_o the_o force_n of_o their_o opinion_n they_o can_v say_v it_o for_o from_o this_o opinion_n it_o do_v altogether_o follow_v that_o either_o the_o father_n be_v the_o son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n and_o reciprocal_o or_o the_o father_n be_v one_o god_n in_o number_n another_o the_o son_n another_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o former_a of_o which_o take_v away_o the_o real_a distinction_n of_o the_o person_n the_o latter_a overthrow_v the_o unity_n of_o god_n and_o manifest_o make_v three_o god_n in_o number_n for_o as_o to_o the_o former_a thus_o i_o will_v argue_v that_o one_o god_n be_v the_o father_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v it_o and_o the_o adversary_n confess_v it_o but_o the_o son_n according_a to_o the_o

there_o be_v three_o god_n in_o number_n therefore_o whithersoever_o the_o adversary_n turn_v themselves_o by_o that_o their_o tenet_n they_o overthrow_v both_o their_o own_o doctrine_n and_o the_o
