Nye, Stephen, 1648?-1719.; Wallis, John, 1616-1703.; Sherlock, William, 1641?-1707.	1693 (1693)	Wing N1505B; ESTC R32239	45,913	35

to_o deny_v that_o the_o father_n ever_o hold_v more_o than_o one_o divine_a essence_n or_o substance_n but_o i_o have_v show_v before_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o gross_a and_o i_o doubt_v not_o

not_o be_v guilty_a of_o tritheism_n for_o say_v he_o though_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a divine_a essence_n or_o substance_n vulgar_o call_v person_n yet_o the_o second_o and_o three_o person_n or_o essence_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o first_o and_o they_o all_o concur_v to_o the_o same_o action_n under_o the_o same_o head_n or_o principal_n even_o the_o father_n therefore_o 2._o to_o that_o the_o second_o and_o three_o person_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o father_n as_o their_o fountain_n and_o cause_n therefore_o they_o may_v be_v reckon_v as_o one_o god_n with_o he_o here_o begin_v the_o controversy_n between_o the_o socinian_o and_o the_o doctor_n they_o grant_v that_o every_o distinct_a person_n be_v a_o distinct_a and_o particular_a essence_n or_o substance_n but_o they_o deny_v that_o three_o distinct_a divine_a essence_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v one_o god_n unity_n of_o original_a or_o that_o the_o second_o and_o three_o person_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o first_o will_v not_o help_v the_o doctor_n no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o the_o three_o divine_a essence_n which_o be_v call_v person_n be_v one_o god_n say_v this_o doctor_n because_o the_o second_o and_o three_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o first_o why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v too_o that_o three_o human_a essence_n or_o person_n whereof_o the_o second_o and_o three_o derive_v themselves_o from_o the_o first_o be_v one_o man_n he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v this_o and_o as_o soon_o persuade_v it_o as_o the_o former_a the_o son_n and_o grandson_n derive_v themselves_o from_o a_o first_o human_a essence_n or_o person_n call_v the_o grandfather_n two_o brother_n derive_v themselves_o from_o their_o common_a father_n do_v this_o unity_n of_o original_a make_v they_o all_o to_o be_v but_o one_o

therefore_o they_o be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n for_o then_o all_o angel_n all_o man_n nay_o and_o all_o beast_n shall_v be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n who_o be_v their_o cause_n and_o principle_n unity_n of_o original_a be_v so_o far_o from_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v one_o god_n with_o he_o that_o it_o even_o demonstrate_v the_o very_a contrary_n for_o if_o they_o be_v

be_v these_o argument_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o withal_o so_o very_o obvious_a that_o i_o wonder_v much_o that_o dr._n cudworth_n foresee_v they_o not_o but_o it_o may_v be_v he_o foresee_v they_o

three_o almighty_a person_n be_v of_o necessity_n three_o god_n therefore_o he_o will_v admit_v of_o but_o one_o almighty_a person_n even_o the_o father_n but_o then_o he_o shall_v have_v look_v a_o

a_o complete_a god_n or_o as_o he_o speak_v to_o make_v up_o the_o entireness_n of_o the_o divinity_n 2._o it_o be_v altogether_o as_o rare_a strange_a and_o surprise_v that_o the_o son_n and_o

thing_n only_o to_o establish_v unitarianism_n so_o much_o the_o more_o strong_o for_o if_o you_o say_v first_o that_o the_o father_n be_v the_o head_n and_o principal_n and_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v subject_v to_o he_o and_o then_o therefore_o they_o be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n their_o principal_a and_o head_n this_o in_o a_o man_n of_o so_o great_a sense_n look_v like_o mere_a prevarication_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a to_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v infer_v the_o contrary_a namely_o therefore_o only_o the_o father_n be_v god_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o weakness_n of_o dr._n cudworth_n reason_v so_o soon_o as_o ever_o we_o apply_v it_o to_o any_o other_o instance_n the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n say_v he_o because_o he_o be_v their_o head_n and_o principal_n therefore_o say_v i_o the_o servant_n and_o their_o master_n the_o subject_n and_o their_o prince_n the_o child_n and_o their_o parent_n be_v all_o one_o governor_n because_o the_o subject_n servant_n and_o child_n be_v gather_v under_o their_o prince_n their_o master_n and_o parent_n as_o their_o principal_a and_o head_n will_v the_o doctor_n allow_v of_o this_o last_o consequence_n if_o not_o he_o vain_o urge_v or_o insist_o on_o the_o other_o 3._o but_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n concur_v with_o the_o father_n to_o all_o the_o same_o action_n both_o of_o creation_n and_o providence_n and_o therefore_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v one_o god_n with_o he_o if_o the_o doctor_n can_v prove_v that_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n concur_v to_o the_o same_o act_n of_o providence_n and_o creation_n with_o the_o father_n he_o will_v thereby_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v three_o god_n not_o that_o the_o concur_v person_n be_v one_o god_n many_o carpenter_n for_o instance_n concur_v to_o make_v a_o ship_n under_o one_o head_n or_o principal_n the_o master-builder_n many_o colonel_n and_o captain_n concur_v to_o the_o marshal_n of_o a_o army_n under_o one_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

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

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
