the_o arian_n trinity_n be_v but_o of_o person_n all_o of_o they_o homogenial_a all_o of_o they_o eternal_a spiritual_a and_o uncreated_a they_o that_o shall_v deny_v this_o to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n will_v find_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o answer_v to_o two_o thing_n which_o be_v indeed_o fair_o and_o true_o unanswerable_a the_o first_o be_v why_o those_o father_n who_o contend_v for_o the_o homoousios_a consubstantial_a or_o of_o the_o same_o substance_n do_v yet_o express_o reject_v the_o tauto-ousios_a and_o mono-ousios_a or_o of_o the_o selfsame_a substance_n and_o essence_n in_o number_n the_o tauto-ousios_a and_o mono-ousios_a or_o of_o the_o selfsame_a essence_n or_o substance_n in_o number_n be_v the_o very_a doctrine_n of_o the_o school_n and_o modern_n but_o be_v deny_v by_o the_o father_n as_o mere_a sabellianism_n which_o invincible_o prove_v that_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o essence_n they_o mean_v not_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_a or_o one_o in_o number_n but_o one_o for_o kind_a nature_n or_o property_n second_o they_o must_v also_o satisfy_v the_o citation_n of_o d._n petavius_n and_o s._n curcellaeus_n and_o these_o in_o the_o intellectual_a system_n which_o do_v all_o of_o they_o several_o and_o much_o more_o conjunct_o clear_o show_v what_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o father_n be_v about_o homoousios_a and_o consubstantial_a it_o appear_v by_o this_o and_o abundance_n more_o the_o like_a that_o dr._n cudworth_n have_v the_o same_o apprehension_n concern_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n with_o dr._n sherlock_n they_o both_o apprehend_v the_o three_o person_n to_o be_v as_o distinct_a and_o different_a and_o as_o real_o three_o several_a intelligent_a being_n and_o substance_n as_o three_o angel_n be_v or_o as_o peter_n james_n and_o john_n be_v dr._n sherlock_n say_v they_o be_v however_o call_v one_o god_n because_o they_o be_v internal_o conscious_a to_o all_o one_o another_o thought_n and_o action_n but_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o dr._n cudworth_n will_v have_v allow_v so_o much_o to_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n as_o to_o be_v internal_o conscious_a to_o all_o the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o first_o person_n he_o always_o speak_v of_o they_o as_o every_o way_n inferior_a to_o the_o father_n he_o will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v omnipotent_a in_o any_o other_o respect_n but_o only_o external_o that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o the_o father_n concur_v omnipotent_o to_o all_o their_o external_a action_n whether_o of_o creation_n or_o providence_n dr._n cudworth_n desire_v to_o distinguish_v his_o explication_n from_o all_o other_o of_o the_o modern_n by_o this_o mark_n that_o it_o allow_v not_o the_o three_o person_n to_o be_v in_o any_o respect_n but_o duration_n coequal_a for_o say_v he_o three_o distinct_a intelligent_a nature_n or_o essence_n each_o of_o they_o pre-eternal_a self-existent_a and_o equal_o omnipotent_a ad_fw-la intra_fw-la be_v of_o necessity_n three_o god_n nor_o can_v we_o have_v any_o other_o notion_n of_o three_o god_n but_o if_o only_a the_o first_o person_n be_v indeed_o internal_o omnipotent_a and_o the_o other_o two_o subordinate_a in_o authority_n and_o power_n to_o he_o you_o leave_v then_o but_o one_o god_n only_o in_o three_o divine_a person_n this_o be_v dr._n cudworth_n explication_n every_o one_o will_v ready_o make_v this_o exception_n he_o think_v either_o that_o there_o be_v one_o great_a god_n and_o two_o lesser_a one_o or_o else_o only_o the_o first_o be_v true_a god_n and_o the_o other_o two_o in_o name_n only_o the_o doctor_n foresee_v without_o doubt_n this_o objection_n therefore_o see_v how_o he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prevent_v it_o first_o he_o report_v some_o answer_n of_o the_o father_n to_o this_o difficulty_n which_o answer_v he_o express_o reject_v for_o some_o of_o they_o say_v that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v one_o god_n by_o their_o unity_n of_o will_n and_o affection_n other_o say_v they_o be_v one_o god_n as_o all_o man_n or_o all_o mankind_n be_v call_v homo_fw-la or_o man_n namely_o because_o they_o all_o have_v the_o same_o specific_a nature_n or_o essence_n or_o substance_n even_o the_o rational_a for_o as_o all_o man_n have_v the_o same_o specific_a essence_n or_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o rational_a so_o the_o divine_a person_n also_o agree_v in_o one_o nature_n namely_o the_o eternal_a spiritual_a and_o self_n existent_a but_o dr._n cudworth_n confess_v that_o a_o union_n of_o will_n and_o affection_n be_v only_o a_o moral_a union_n not_o a_o physical_a or_o real_a unity_n and_o as_o three_o human_a person_n will_v be_v three_o distinct_a man_n notwithstanding_o the_o moral_a union_n in_o affection_n and_o will_n so_o also_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n will_v be_v three_o distinct_a god_n notwithstanding_o such_o a_o union_n in_o will_n and_o affection_n as_o to_o the_o other_o that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v but_o one_o god_n by_o their_o have_v the_o same_o specific_a nature_n or_o essence_n or_o as_o some_o call_v it_o substance_n namely_o because_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o spiritual_a self-existent_a and_o coeternal_a he_o call_v it_o a_o absurd_a paradox_n contrary_a to_o common_a sense_n and_o our_o common_a notion_n of_o thing_n for_o so_o all_o man_n will_v be_v but_o one_o man_n because_o they_o have_v the_o same_o specific_a essence_n or_o nature_n namely_o the_o rational_a and_o all_o epicurus_n his_o extramundan_n god_n will_v be_v but_o one_o god_n then_o he_o propound_v divers_a other_o explication_n which_o he_o neither_o approve_v nor_o express_o reject_v though_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o dislike_v they_o for_o the_o explication_n on_o which_o he_o insist_v and_o which_o appear_v to_o be_v his_o sense_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o follow_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v one_o god_n because_o they_o be_v not_o three_o principle_n but_o only_o one_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o father_n be_v the_o root_n and_o fountain_n of_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n and_o because_o the_o three_o person_n be_v gather_v together_o under_o one_o

body_n in_o which_o it_o meet_v no_o resistance_n that_o body_n or_o matter_n consist_v of_o indivisible_a part_n and_o such_o like_a well_o suppose_v the_o socinian_o shall_v grant_v these_o or_o other_o unaccountable_a mystery_n which_o not_o only_o be_v not_o comprehend_v but_o be_v contradict_v by_o reason_n what_o then_o why_o then_o they_o be_v very_o inconsiderate_a to_o deny_v as_o they_o do_v the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n on_o this_o account_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n or_o imply_v contradiction_n and_o absurdity_n but_o our_o opposer_n shall_v have_v think_v better_a of_o this_o objection_n before_o they_o lay_v so_o great_a a_o weight_n on_o it_o even_o the_o weight_n of_o their_o whole_a cause_n for_o though_o we_o shall_v grant_v that_o we_o believe_v some_o mystery_n of_o nature_n or_o art_n against_o which_o reason_n object_n and_o many_o way_n contradict_v they_o yet_o be_v this_o no_o plea_n for_o the_o trinity_n or_o the_o incarnation_n for_o if_o we_o believe_v natural_a or_o artificial_a mystery_n it_o be_v because_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o so_o the_o thing_n be_v we_o see_v or_o we_o feel_v or_o have_v some_o other_o undeniable_a proof_n of_o the_o thing_n some_o such_o proof_n as_o no_o rational_a man_n will_v or_o can_v resist_v do_v any_o man_n believe_v mystery_n or_o wonderful_a tale_n contrary_a to_o his_o reason_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o other_o man_n without_o a_o most_o manifest_a and_o contestable_a proof_n of_o they_o without_o some_o such_o proof_n or_o proof_n as_o undeniable_o evince_v the_o thing_n so_o to_o be_v but_o will_v our_o opposer_n pretend_v they_o have_v any_o such_o proof_n for_o the_o incarnation_n or_o trinity_n such_o manifest_a such_o evident_a such_o contestable_a proof_n that_o no_o sober_a man_n or_o no_o reasonable_a man_n can_v except_v against_o they_o or_o refuse_v to_o admit_v of_o they_o i_o do_v not_o think_v they_o will_v pretend_v to_o it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o this_o only_a reason_n because_o the_o socinian_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o rational_a and_o learned_a party_n be_v those_o evidence_n or_o proof_n contestable_a which_o be_v reject_v not_o without_o some_o scorn_n by_o some_o of_o the_o learnede_a and_o most_o unsuspected_a of_o their_o own_o party_n be_v they_o contestable_a that_o not_o only_o may_v be_v interpret_v to_o another_o sense_n but_o also_o be_v either_o otherways_o read_v in_o the_o best_a copy_n of_o the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a or_o may_v be_v otherways_o translate_v from_o those_o language_n and_o all_o this_o by_o confession_n of_o the_o more_o ingenious_a of_o our_o opposer_n themselves_o brief_o we_o say_v mystery_n there_o be_v and_o it_o may_v be_v such_o mystery_n as_o be_v even_o contradict_v by_o reason_n that_o be_v be_v in_o some_o respect_n contradiction_n to_o our_o present_n shortsighted_a and_o frail_a reason_n but_o when_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v some_o such_o mystery_n it_o be_v because_o they_o appear_v to_o our_o sense_n or_o be_v prove_v to_o we_o by_o some_o such_o either_o reason_n or_o authority_n as_o no_o reasonable_a man_n much_o less_o any_o number_n of_o such_o man_n do_v or_o can_v deny_v to_o be_v contestable_a and_o otherways_o all_o the_o unwarrantable_a nonsense_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v impose_v on_o we_o under_o the_o pretence_n and_o cloak_n of_o mystery_n but_o now_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n have_v not_o only_o no_o contestable_a proof_n but_o the_o pretence_n for_o it_o be_v so_o feeble_a that_o none_o of_o they_o can_v be_v name_v but_o be_v not_o only_o reject_v but_o despise_v by_o some_o of_o the_o learnede_a of_o our_o opposer_n themselves_o they_o will_v persuade_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v a_o mystery_n full_a of_o contradiction_n to_o the_o clear_a reason_n and_o to_o indisputable_a text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o support_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n only_o by_o some_o text_n that_o may_v be_v interpret_v to_o a_o rational_a sense_n that_o be_v to_o a_o sense_n that_o have_v nothing_o contrary_a either_o to_o reason_n or_o to_o the_o unquestionable_a part_n or_o text_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o peace_n sake_n we_o will_v do_v so_o if_o it_o be_v some_o light_a matter_n that_o they_o urge_v on_o we_o but_o when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o one_o or_o more_o god_n one_o or_o more_o divine_a person_n we_o judge_v it_o adviseable_a not_o to_o be_v too_o facile_a in_o admit_v such_o dangerous_a mystery_n mystery_n that_o will_v destroy_v the_o
