people_n at_o least_o if_o the_o athanasian_n doctrine_n be_v true_a divinity_n hear_v o_o israel_n the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v one_o lord_n and_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n

will_v teach_v they_o metaphysic_n and_o mathematics_n and_o read_v a_o lecture_n to_o they_o upon_o the_o three_o dimension_n long_o broad_n and_o tall_a of_o one_o cube_n they_o must_v love_v god_n

holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n too_o and_o if_o we_o measure_v this_o cube_n with_o the_o infallible_a rule_n of_o scripture_n we_o find_v that_o this_o long_a cube_n the_o father_n send_v this_o broad_a cube_n the_o son_n on_o a_o message_n as_o far_o as_o from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n john_n 6.38_o and_o anon_o after_o send_v this_o tall_a or_o deep_a cube_n the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o he_o matth._n 3.16_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o abide_v in_o heaven_n himself_o moreover_o this_o broad_a cube_n the_o son_n be_v not_o commensurable_a with_o this_o long_a cube_n the_o
