or_o essence_n of_o god_n diversify_v by_o three_o modes_n of_o subsistence_n but_o above_o all_o i_o will_v not_o have_v dr._n s_o the_o please_v himself_o overmuch_o in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v

property_n modes_n or_o character_n in_o god_n they_o mean_v not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o deny_v that_o each_o person_n be_v a_o particular_a substance_n essence_n or_o nature_n different_a in_o number_n from_o all_o other_o substance_n essence_n or_o nature_n or_o to_o deny_v that_o each_o person_n be_v a_o particular_a be_v they_o mean_v only_o that_o each_o individual_a or_o each_o
