deliciis_fw-la therefore_o i_o believe_v the_o considerator_n will_v be_v so_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o perceive_v he_o have_v in_o this_o part_n of_o his_o discourse_n gross_o overshoot_v or_o

he_o shall_v come_v by_o solid_a argument_n to_o disprove_v the_o hypothesis_n by_o show_v that_o three_o individual_a divine_a nature_n or_o essence_n can_v possible_o have_v no_o nexus_fw-la so_o as_o to_o become_v one_o entire_a divine_a nature_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o this_o hypothesis_n suppose_v remain_v still_o three_o individual_a divine_a nature_n and_o essence_n he_o

time_n enough_o to_o consider_v it_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o can_v here_o but_o note_n what_o i_o will_v neither_o in_o charity_n call_v forgery_n in_o the_o considerator_n nor_o in_o civility_n
