plead_v they_o be_v not_o three_o god_n because_o there_o be_v a_o immediate_a union_n in_o their_o spiritual_a substance_n but_o i_o say_v no_o union_n whatever_o can_v make_v three_o each_o of_o which_o be_v one_o god_n to_o be_v but_o one_o god_n because_o it_o be_v first_o say_n each_o be_v one_o god_n and_o then_o deny_v it_o by_o say_v all_o three_o be_v but_o one_o god_n so_o that_o it_o can_v without_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n be_v say_v that_o while_o each_o remain_v one_o god_n they_o can_v any_o way_n be_v unite_v into_o one_o god_n for_o three_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n will_v be_v thrice_o what_o one_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v if_o union_n make_v they_o one_o god_n it_o must_v either_o identify_v they_o by_o make_v they_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n and_o consequent_o there_o can_v be_v no_o real_a distinction_n between_o they_o or_o it_o must_v make_v none_o of_o they_o god_n by_o make_v they_o part_n of_o god_n which_o by_o union_n compose_v one_o god_n for_o we_o have_v no_o other_o idea_n of_o composition_n but_o of_o one_o thing_n be_v make_v up_o of_o several_a which_o by_o be_v unite_a constitute_v that_o one_o and_o which_o whether_o material_a or_o immaterial_a we_o can_v conceive_v but_o as_o part_n of_o the_o thing_n they_o constitute_v for_o since_o each_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a it_o must_v be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a whatever_o our_o author_n pag._n 54._o say_v to_o the_o contrary_n i_o will_v willing_o know_v why_o they_o be_v not_o as_o much_o three_o god_n though_o suppose_v substantial_o unite_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v since_o each_o have_v in_o himself_o distinct_o from_o the_o other_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o they_o can_v have_v no_o more_o if_o they_o be_v separate_v it_o be_v as_o much_o idolatry_n to_o adore_v three_o unite_a as_o three_o ununited_a god_n since_o in_o both_o case_n you_o equal_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n by_o pay_v it_o to_o two_o numerical_o diverse_a and_o different_a god_n and_o be_v substance_n they_o be_v in_o their_o nature_n capable_a of_o subsist_v apart_o from_o one_o another_o he_o pag._n 53._o misrepresent_v what_o i_o say_v concern_v union_n as_o though_o i_o argue_v against_o the_o bare_a possibility_n of_o their_o be_v unite_v and_o not_o of_o their_o become_a one_o god_n by_o union_n while_o each_o remain_v god_n distinct_a from_o the_o other_o and_o then_o make_v a_o long_a harangue_n about_o mystery_n in_o which_o he_o say_v if_o he_o do_v not_o serious_o cry_v mystery_n i_o know_v what_o i_o know_v of_o he_o but_o however_o to_o do_v he_o the_o full_a justice_n i_o will_v mention_v what_o he_o further_o say_v concern_v this_o union_n in_o his_o first_o defence_n pag._n 19_o he_o say_v they_o be_v as_o much_o one_o with_o one_o another_o as_o they_o without_o the_o most_o apparent_a contradiction_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v one_o a_o heathen_a will_v not_o have_v scruple_v to_o have_v say_v as_o much_o of_o his_o go_n but_o he_o go_v on_o and_o say_v they_o be_v much_o more_o than_o specifical_o one_o but_o than_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o can_v be_v so_o much_o distinguish_v as_o so_o many_o man_n or_o angel_n which_o be_v but_o specifical_o one_o but_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v that_o they_o be_v identify_v or_o numerical_o one_o p._n 53._o but_o if_o we_o can_v apprehend_v any_o medium_fw-la between_o numerical_a and_o specifical_a oneness_n then_o in_o profess_v to_o believe_v it_o we_o profess_v we_o know_v not_o what_o but_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v say_v at_o this_o turn_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o second_o defence_n pag._n 26._o well_o suppose_v this_o be_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v of_o which_o we_o sorry_a mortal_n have_v no_o idea_n i_o say_v no_o by_o no_o mean_n but_o with_o humble_a submission_n he_o be_v a_o very_a sorry_a mortal_n that_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v word_n without_o any_o idea_n annex_v to_o they_o but_o let_v our_o author_n say_v what_o he_o will_v he_o have_v still_o a_o simile_n to_o help_v he_o out_o this_o medium_fw-la between_o specific_a and_o numerical_a unity_n be_v as_o great_a a_o unity_n as_o that_o between_o the_o sun_n its_o splendour_n and_o the_o light_n of_o both_o but_o those_o must_v be_v either_o different_a or_o the_o same_o thing_n if_o different_a though_o of_o the_o same_o kind_a there_o can_v be_v but_o a_o specific_a unity_n or_o if_o the_o same_o a_o numerical_a unity_n if_o by_o the_o light_n he_o mean_v a_o thin_a collection_n of_o minute_n particle_n as_o he_o pag._n 58._o define_v it_o than_o he_o suppose_v the_o splendour_n to_o be_v a_o second_o sun_n emit_v a_o small_a sort_n of_o active_a subtle_a and_o pierce_a particle_n but_o if_o by_o light_n and_o splendour_n he_o mean_v those_o idea_n those_o particle_n cause_n in_o we_o he_o can_v distinguish_v between_o splendour_n and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o splendour_n because_o splendour_n be_v but_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o light_n cause_v by_o those_o minute_n particle_n in_o a_o great_a quantity_n or_o more_o direct_o strike_v our_o eye_n so_o that_o his_o simile_n be_v every_o way_n faulty_a but_o because_o in_o his_o often_o repeat_v simile_n about_o the_o sun_n its_o light_n and_o heat_n he_o suppose_v somewhat_o in_o the_o sun_n or_o which_o do_v exist_v by_o emaning_n from_o it_o analogous_a to_o our_o idea_n of_o light_n and_o heat_n i_o tell_v he_o sect._n 69._o that_o though_o there_o be_v in_o the_o sun_n a_o power_n to_o produce_v in_o we_o heat_n and_o light_n as_o well_o as_o pain_n and_o pleasure_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o such_o sensation_n or_o quality_n in_o the_o sun_n which_o though_o pag._n 57_o he_o argue_v against_o yet_o he_o say_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n but_o lest_o his_o reader_n shall_v perceive_v it_o he_o call_v the_o effect_n which_o when_o one_o pretend_v to_o talk_v philosophical_o be_v very_o improper_a by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o will_v not_o say_v that_o heat_n be_v cause_v by_o but_o that_o heat_n be_v a_o close_a collection_n of_o minute_n subtle_a active_a pierce_a particle_n and_o light_v a_o thin_a collection_n of_o they_o but_o do_v clothes_n and_o exercise_n by_o cause_v heat_n produce_v a_o collection_n of_o such_o particle_n why_o do_v they_o not_o sometime_o produce_v light_n which_o be_v but_o a_o less_o close_a collection_n but_o in_o argue_v thus_o he_o grant_v all_o i_o will_v have_v viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o quality_n in_o the_o sun_n or_o emane_v from_o it_o but_o the_o sun_n be_v a_o body_n in_o perpetual_a agitation_n there_o be_v minute_n particle_n flow_v from_o it_o which_o by_o their_o figure_n texture_n and_o motion_n alter_v the_o figure_n texture_n and_o motion_n of_o some_o of_o the_o small_a part_n of_o our_o hand_n and_o eye_n and_o thereby_o produce_v in_o we_o light_a and_o heat_n which_o be_v as_o much_o mere_a perception_n as_o pain_n and_o pleasure_n and_o i_o say_v again_o there_o have_v not_o be_v any_o book_n write_v these_o late_a year_n on_o this_o subject_a but_o what_o prove_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o matter_n beside_o bulk_n external_a figure_n and_o internal_a configuration_n of_o its_o minute_n part_n which_o by_o their_o motion_n produce_v in_o we_o heat_n light_z colour_n sound_v taste_v etc._n etc._n but_o enough_o of_o this_o our_o author_n say_v in_o his_o first_o defence_n pag._n 20._o that_o outward_o and_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o creation_n they_o the_o three_o divine_a nature_n be_v perfect_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n as_o concur_v in_o all_o the_o same_o external_a action_n though_o in_o relation_n to_o one_o another_o there_o be_v a_o real_a
