reason_n we_o must_v notwithstanding_o prefer_v a_o interpretation_n of_o it_o that_o be_v absurd_a and_o contrary_a to_o itself_o to_o reason_n and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o scripture_n such_o as_o the_o trinitarian_n interpretation_n express_v in_o this_o creed_n appear_v to_o be_v in_o a_o word_n the_o question_n only_o be_v whether_o we_o ought_v to_o interpret_v holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o speak_v of_o god_n according_a to_o reason_n or_o not_o that_o be_v like_o fool_n or_o like_o wise_a man_n the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v here_o and_o in_o the_o next_o period_n athanasius_n be_v get_v into_o his_o altitude_n or_o profundity_n which_o you_o will_n here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o ignorant_a think_v they_o be_v teach_v the_o inmost_a secret_n of_o theological_a knowledge_n but_o high_a and_o low_o be_v not_o more_o contrary_a than_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v here_o affirm_v as_o equal_a truth_n if_o the_o creedmaker_n have_v speak_v here_o of_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o son_n by_o the_o divine_a power_n on_o the_o virgin_n mary_n it_o will_v have_v be_v true_a that_o the_o son_n be_v neither_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v but_o then_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o article_n will_v be_v false_a that_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o for_o he_o that_o have_v a_o father_n and_o a_o mother_n be_v of_o both_o but_o since_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o pretend_v eternal_a generation_n the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o article_n be_v false_a and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o every_o novice_n in_o grammar_n and_o proper_a speak_n know_v that_o beget_v when_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o make_a and_o create_v always_o suppose_v two_o parent_n a_o mother_n as_o well_o as_o father_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v for_o if_o he_o be_v beget_v he_o can_v be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o and_o if_o he_o be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o he_o be_v not_o beget_v but_o either_o make_v or_o create_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o beget_v but_o proceed_v the_o first_o fault_n here_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o from_o the_o son_n to_o which_o heresy_n the_o greek_a church_n have_v ever_o oppose_v those_o clear_a word_n john_n 15.26_o when_o the_o comforter_n be_v come_v who_o i_o will_v send_v unto_o you_o from_o the_o father_n even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v testify_v of_o i_o second_o he_o say_v here_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o beget_v but_o proceed_v he_o add_v short_o after_o that_o he_o who_o will_v be_v save_v must_v thus_o think_v of_o the_o trinity_n therefore_o sure_o beget_v and_o proceed_v differ_v very_o much_o and_o very_o clear_o else_o it_o be_v a_o harsh_a sentence_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v damn_v if_o we_o do_v not_o conceive_v beside_o all_o other_o unconceivable_a mystery_n of_o this_o creed_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o beget_v but_o proceed_v yet_o after_o all_o it_o be_v now_o confess_v by_o the_o most_o learned_a trinitarian_n that_o beget_v and_o proceed_v differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o that_o it_o be_v right_o say_v the_o son_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v generate_v of_o both_o direct_o contrary_a to_o this_o creed_n it_o follow_v that_o athanasius_n have_v damn_v the_o whole_a world_n for_o not_o distinguish_v where_o no_o distinction_n can_v be_v make_v at_o least_o with_o any_o certainty_n and_o perhaps_o this_o damn_v humour_n of_o he_o have_v just_o provoke_v some_o to_o write_v he_o not_o s._n athanasius_n but_o draw_v the_o s._n a_o little_a near_o sathanasius_n so_o there_o be_v one_o father_n not_o three_o father_n one_o son_n not_o three_o son_n one_o holy_a ghost_n not_o three_o holy_a ghost_n in_o consistence_n with_o what_o go_v before_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v two_o father_n two_o son_n and_o three_o holy_a ghost_n or_o spirit_n for_o the_o second_o person_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o first_o and_o the_o three_o proceed_v which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o be_v generate_v from_o the_o first_o and_o second_o which_o make_v two_o father_n and_o two_o son_n and_o all_o three_o of_o they_o be_v holy_a spirit_n for_o the_o father_n be_v a_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o be_v the_o son_n no_o less_o than_o the_o three_o person_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n in_o this_o creed_n that_o athanasius_n have_v discover_v he_o can_v not_o count_v in_o this_o trinity_n none_o be_v afore_o or_o after_o other_o none_o be_v great_a or_o less_o than_o another_o yet_o the_o son_n himself_o say_v john_n 14.28_o my_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i._o and_o for_o the_o other_o clause_n none_o be_v afore_o or_o after_o other_o it_o be_v just_a as_o true_a as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o between_o afore_o and_o after_o i_o ask_v whether_o the_o son_n do_v not_o as_o he_o be_v a_o son_n derive_v both_o life_n and_o godhead_n from_o the_o father_n all_o trinitarian_n grant_v he_o do_v ground_v themselves_o on_o the_o nicene_n creed_n which_o express_o call_v the_o son_n god_n of_o god_n light_a of_o light_n very_a god_n of_o very_a god_n beget_v not_o make_v but_o if_o the_o father_n give_v to_o the_o son_n life_n and_o godhead_n he_o must_v have_v both_o before_o he_o can_v communicate_v or_o give_v either_o of_o they_o to_o the_o son_n and_o consequent_o be_v afore_o the_o son_n be_v no_o effect_n be_v so_o early_o as_o its_o cause_n for_o if_o it_o be_v it_o shall_v not_o have_v need_v or_o have_v that_o for_o its_o cause_n no_o proposition_n in_o euclid_n be_v more_o certain_a or_o evident_a than_o this_o the_o right_a faith_n be_v that_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man._n then_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v two_o person_n for_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o be_v the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o pretend_v trinity_n and_o as_o he_o be_v man_n a_o perfect_a man_n as_o this_o creed_n afterward_o speak_v he_o be_v also_o a_o person_n for_o a_o rational_a soul_n vital_o unite_v to_o a_o human_a body_n be_v a_o person_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o person_n upon_o earth_n nay_o it_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n upon_o earth_n that_o be_v a_o person_n let_v the_o athanasian_o therefore_o either_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v two_o person_n which_o be_v the_o heresy_n of_o nestorius_n condemn_v in_o a_o general_n council_n or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n contrary_a to_o 1_o tim._n 2.5_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n which_o be_v the_o truth_n who_o although_o he_o be_v god_n and_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o two_o but_o one_o christ_n one_o not_o by_o conversion_n of_o the_o

for_o the_o soul_n remain_v what_o it_o be_v and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o body_n so_o god_n the_o son_n be_v unite_v to_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o body_n do_v together_o with_o they_o make_v
