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

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

if_o we_o will_v urge_v example_n fetch_v from_o thing_n create_v peter_n be_v a_o man_n paul_n be_v a_o man_n john_n be_v a_o man_n therefore_o there_o be_v three_o man_n not_o one_o or_o michael_n

cry_v out_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v one_o way_n in_o creature_n another_o way_n in_o god_n but_o now_o when_o we_o use_v the_o
example_n of_o divine_a person_n what_o will_v they_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v one_o way_n in_o divine_a person_n another_o way_n in_o god_n be_v it_o so_o but_o what_o if_o we_o demonstrate_v that_o that_o very_a god_n of_o who_o we_o treat_v be_v a_o divine_a person_n as_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a will_v they_o yet_o deny_v that_o that_o be_v in_o force_n in_o god_n which_o be_v in_o

say_v that_o each_o divine_a person_n be_v that_o one_o god_n and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o say_v it_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o hold_v that_o each_o of_o they_o have_v the_o whole_a essence_n of_o the_o one_o god_n neither_o can_v they_o say_v otherwise_o without_o overthrow_v that_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n now_o the_o holy_a scripture_n plain_o affirm_v of_o the_o father_n that_o he_o be_v that_o one_o god_n but_o that_o will_v be_v false_a if_o that_o one_o god_n be_v not_o a_o divine_a person_n for_o it_o may_v be_v right_o argue_v thus_o that_o one_o god_n be_v not_o a_o
