the_o nature_n of_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n who_o nature_n be_v short_a of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o father_n nature_n and_o consequent_o their_o nature_n be_v not_o divine_a because_o the_o divine_a nature_n contain_v all_o perfection_n but_o they_o want_v those_o that_o not_o only_o in_o themselves_o be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o excellent_a but_o the_o want_n of_o which_o be_v as_o he_o say_v pag._n 7._o a_o abatement_n of_o all_o other_o perfection_n and_o if_o the_o father_n nature_n be_v independent_a and_o the_o son_n be_v and_o spirit_n be_v dependent_a it_o show_v they_o have_v different_a kind_n of_o nature_n as_o different_a nay_o as_o opposite_a as_o dependent_a and_o independent_a but_o what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o stare_a contradiction_n than_o that_o being_n that_n do_v eternal_o and_o necessary_o exist_v and_o be_v almighty_a yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o have_v not_o a_o power_n to_o keep_v themselves_o in_o life_n and_o be_v no_o not_o a_o moment_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v a_o power_n inherent_a in_o themselves_o from_o all_o eternity_n to_o give_v life_n and_o be_v to_o all_o thing_n whatever_o which_o also_o do_v entire_o depend_v on_o they_o for_o the_o continuation_n of_o the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v a_o necessary_a nature_n be_v dependent_a because_o a_o necessary_a nature_n be_v that_o nature_n which_o contain_v in_o itself_o the_o formal_a reason_n why_o it_o can_v but_o be_v but_o a_o dependent_a nature_n be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o itself_o that_o make_v it_o necessary_o exist_v that_o it_o not_o only_o owe_v to_o another_o its_o existence_n but_o hourly_o depend_v upon_o another_o have_v no_o power_n in_o its_o self_n to_o continue_v it_o in_o existence_n which_o be_v the_o dependence_n of_o a_o creature_n not_o of_o a_o creator_n be_v not_o a_o dependent_a creator_n as_o great_a a_o contradiction_n as_o a_o independent_a creature_n and_o do_v ever_o any_o but_o our_o author_n join_v necessary_a existence_n and_o dependence_n together_o how_o can_v they_o as_o i_o intimate_v sect._n 62._o have_v necessary_a existence_n be_v say_v more_o to_o depend_v on_o the_o father_n for_o their_o continuance_n in_o be_v than_o the_o father_n on_o they_o since_o they_o as_o necessary_o and_o as_o eternal_o exist_v as_o he_o who_o can_v no_o more_o hinder_v they_o than_o his_o own_o existence_n nor_o can_v he_o more_o forbear_v emane_v they_o from_o all_o eternity_n than_o exist_v himself_o and_o if_o his_o existence_n be_v without_o a_o cause_n his_o emaning_n must_v be_v so_o too_o since_o the_o one_o be_v as_o necessary_a and_o eternal_a as_o the_o other_o in_o create_a being_n all_n necessary_a emanation_n have_v the_o same_o cause_n as_o the_o being_n from_o whence_o they_o emane_n but_o god_n have_v no_o cause_n of_o his_o be_v his_o necessary_a emanation_n must_v have_v no_o cause_n also_o and_o consequent_o eternal_a and_o necessary_a existence_n as_o i_o observe_v in_o the_o same_o sect._n 62._o be_v as_o great_a a_o perfection_n as_o self-existence_n since_o one_o be_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o nay_o there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o for_o if_o the_o father_n be_v self-existent_a the_o emanation_n that_o issue_n forth_o from_o he_o must_v be_v so_o too_o since_o they_o be_v emanatory_a substance_n which_o be_v not_o produce_v by_o the_o will_n and_o power_n of_o the_o father_n from_o nothing_o but_o they_o emane_v from_o something_o which_o since_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o emane_n from_o must_v be_v the_o father_n self-existent_a substance_n to_o which_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o have_v emanation_n and_o consequent_o they_o have_v the_o same_o existence_n as_o the_o substance_n in_o which_o they_o exist_v when_o they_o emane_v nor_o can_v their_o emaning_n make_v they_o lose_v their_o self-existence_n but_o more_o of_o this_o hereafter_o but_o he_o say_v they_o depend_v on_o the_o father_n for_o the_o continuation_n of_o their_o be_v as_o the_o stream_n on_o the_o fountain_n or_o the_o ray_n on_o the_o sun_n but_o there_o be_v no_o material_a substance_n that_o depend_v upon_o another_o for_o its_o existence_n or_o continuance_n in_o existence_n all_o matter_n be_v equal_o old_a and_o have_v subsist_v ever_o since_o the_o creation_n and_o generation_n and_o corruption_n be_v nothing_o but_o matter_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o motion_n change_v its_o shape_v and_o figure_n and_o therefore_o such_o simile_n be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n because_o we_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o suppose_a form_n or_o figure_n of_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n but_o of_o the_o existence_n of_o their_o substance_n viz._n whether_o they_o have_v they_o by_o any_o three_o way_n different_a from_o both_o creation_n and_o self-existence_n as_o to_o the_o stream_n depend_v on_o the_o fountain_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o if_o the_o water_n do_v not_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n it_o can_v not_o run_v along_o the_o ground_n if_o it_o do_v not_o bubble_v up_o in_o the_o fountain_n it_o can_v no_o more_o flow_v to_o the_o next_o place_n than_o if_o it_o stop_v there_o it_o can_v flow_v to_o a_o three_o but_o this_o do_v not_o make_v one_o part_n of_o the_o water_n give_v be_v to_o another_o part_n or_o continue_v it_o in_o be_v it_o be_v the_o same_o body_n of_o water_n which_o be_v in_o the_o fountain_n that_o be_v now_o in_o the_o stream_n and_o as_o to_o the_o ray_n they_o no_o way_n depend_v on_o the_o sun_n for_o their_o be_v or_o continuance_n in_o be_v except_o the_o sun_n by_o a_o create_a power_n make_v they_o to_o exist_v and_o by_o the_o same_o power_n continue_v they_o in_o existence_n if_o the_o ray_n be_v as_o some_o imagine_v part_n of_o the_o aether_n set_v in_o motion_n by_o the_o sun_n they_o no_o more_o depend_v on_o the_o sun_n for_o their_o be_v or_o continuance_n in_o be_v than_o the_o sun_n do_v on_o they_o but_o if_o they_o emane_n from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n they_o have_v the_o same_o cause_n of_o their_o be_v and_o continuance_n in_o be_v as_o the_o sun_n itself_o because_o they_o like_v unto_o all_o other_o necessary_a emanation_n be_v part_n of_o the_o body_n whence_o they_o emane_v and_o consequent_o have_v the_o same_o origin_n as_o the_o sun_n itself_o and_o if_o the_o sun_n have_v be_v self-existent_a they_o because_o part_n of_o it_o will_v have_v be_v so_o too_o nor_o will_v their_o emaning_n destroy_v their_o self-existing_a or_o any_o way_n cause_v they_o then_o to_o depend_v on_o the_o sun_n for_o their_o continuance_n in_o be_v since_o the_o least_o substance_n be_v as_o much_o a_o substance_n as_o the_o great_a and_o consequent_o equal_o able_a to_o subsist_v by_o itself_o so_o that_o notwithstanding_o his_o altogether_o unlike_a simile_n it_o be_v evident_a if_o the_o son_n and_o h._n spirit_n be_v eternal_a and_o necessary_a they_o be_v as_o self-existent_a and_o independent_a as_o the_o father_n and_o consequent_o god_n in_o as_o high_a a_o sense_n as_o he_o who_o if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a be_v will_v not_o be_v independent_a nor_o self-existent_a and_o consequent_o those_o three_o must_v go_v together_o but_o if_o their_o nature_n be_v dependent_a and_o not_o self-existent_a they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o contain_v all_o perfection_n and_o be_v as_o true_o divine_a as_o the_o father_n that_o they_o be_v true_o create_v nature_n or_o from_o no-being_n make_v to_o be_v and_o like_o all_o such_o being_n as_o i_o observe_v sect._n 62._o in_o god_n they_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v their_o be_v i_o say_v sect._n 62._o if_o the_o person_n have_v the_o same_o unlimited_a perfection_n though_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o get_v they_o be_v different_a this_o will_v not_o cause_v any_o inequality_n between_o they_o to_o which_o he_o answer_v it_o will_v that_o be_v in_o reference_n to_o their_o manner_n of_o existence_n though_o not_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o mere_a essence_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o different_a manner_n of_o their_o get_v their_o essence_n but_o their_o essence_n when_o get_v exist_v after_o a_o different_a manner_n which_o he_o must_v mean_v or_o else_o contradict_v himself_o and_o agree_v with_o i_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o nature_n because_o to_o exist_v be_v common_a to_o all_o nature_n it_o be_v the_o different_a manner_n of_o existence_n that_o make_v the_o difference_n between_o nature_n and_o consequent_o a_o nature_n that_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n of_o exist_v will_v be_v a_o more_o excellent_a kind_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n have_v not_o only_o a_o different_a way_n of_o have_v their_o existence_n
