dead_a and_o behold_v i_o live_v for_o evermore_o so_o rev._n 4._o 9_o 11._o rev._n 5._o 12_o 13_o 14_o who_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o which_o full_o answer_v that_o title_n the_o live_v god_n whereby_o the_o true_a god_n do_v so_o oft_o distinguish_v himself_o from_o other_o god_n as_o jer._n 10._o 10._o and_o elsewhere_o frequent_o but_o i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o former_o to_o this_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v now_o add_v no_o more_o i_o have_v almost_o forget_v one_o piece_n wherein_o i_o find_v myself_o mention_v entitle_v a_o suit_n for_o forbearance_n etc._n etc._n it_o aim_v chief_o at_o two_o thing_n one_o be_v against_o arge_v on_o other_o too_o strict_a a_o union_n wherein_o christianity_n as_o deliver_v by_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v leave_v a_o latitude_n and_o simplicity_n but_o herein_o i_o think_v he_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o blame_v i_o nor_o do_v i_o see_v that_o he_o do_v he_o do_v not_o find_v i_o to_o trouble_v he_o with_o cramp_v scholastic_a term_n i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o can_v speak_v more_o tender_o than_o to_o say_v these_o three_o be_v three_o somewhat_n not_o three_o nothing_o and_o if_o he_o please_v to_o sport_v himself_o with_o that_o he_o may_v and_o that_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o these_o somewhat_n to_o give_v a_o name_n and_o that_o i_o know_v no_o better_a name_n than_o person_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v still_o say_v as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n even_o though_o by_o person_n i_o do_v not_o require_v man_n to_o fancy_v just_a such_o a_o person_n as_o what_o we_o so_o call_v among_o men._n like_a as_o by_o father_n son_n beget_v etc._n etc._n i_o do_v not_o understand_v in_o god_n just_o such_o as_o what_o these_o word_n signify_v among_o men._n and_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o he_o can_v wish_v i_o to_o speak_v more_o tender_o or_o more_o agree_v to_o the_o christian_a simplicity_n wherein_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n the_o other_o be_v he_o think_v it_o not_o adviseable_a in_o thing_n sufficient_o settle_v by_o just_a authority_n as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o trinity_n to_o revive_v a_o controversy_n long_o since_o determine_v and_o draw_v the_o disputatious_a saw_n because_o to_o litigate_v about_o a_o fundamental_a be_v to_o turn_v it_o into_o a_o controversy_n and_o herein_o i_o be_o so_o much_o of_o his_o mind_n that_o i_o will_v not_o have_v advise_v to_o start_v the_o controversy_n about_o what_o we_o have_v be_v in_o quiet_a possession_n of_o for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n and_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o own_o that_o it_o be_v a_o art_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n that_o we_o have_v no_o better_a ground_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n than_o they_o have_v for_o transubstantiation_n for_o they_o care_v not_o what_o they_o overthrow_n if_o thereby_o they_o may_v advance_v their_o own_o end_n and_o that_o atheistical_a and_o irreligious_a man_n will_v be_v glad_a of_o any_o opportunity_n to_o ridicule_n religion_n but_o if_o other_o will_v make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o run_v down_o religion_n and_o profess_v to_o the_o world_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o authority_n to_o define_v it_o which_o they_o despise_v and_o no_o reason_n or_o scripture_n for_o it_o more_o than_o for_o transubstantiation_n i_o think_v we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o stand_v all_o of_o we_o so_o silent_a as_o if_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o it_o or_o yield_v up_o the_o cause_n there_o be_v a_o middle_a way_n for_o the_o promote_a what_o he_o call_v a_o pure_a and_o more_o scriptural_a divinity_n between_o a_o rigorous_a impose_v all_o the_o scholastic_a cramp_a term_n and_o a_o giving_z up_o the_o cause_n a_o modest_a defence_n of_o what_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o without_o excursion_n into_o a_o rigorous_a press_v of_o extravagant_a nicety_n of_o our_o own_o invention_n may_v be_v of_o good_a subserviency_n to_o show_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o religion_n be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o right_a reason_n what_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o some_o body_n who_o have_v be_v heretofore_o master_n of_o the_o temple_n that_o do_v express_v himself_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o substance_n of_o god_n with_o this_o property_n to_o be_v of_o none_o do_v make_v the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n the_o very_a self_n same_o substance_n in_o number_n with_o this_o property_n to_o be_v of_o the_o father_n make_v the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n the_o same_o substance_n have_v add_v to_o it_o the_o property_n of_o proceed_v from_o the_o other_o two_o make_v the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o in_o every_o person_n there_o be_v employ_v both_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n which_o be_v one_o and_o also_o that_o property_n which_o cause_v the_o same_o person_n real_o and_o true_o to_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o two_n this_o i_o say_v will_v pass_v with_o i_o well_o enough_o and_o if_o he_o please_v so_o to_o express_v himself_o i_o shall_v not_o quarrel_v with_o it_o again_o if_o i_o shall_v express_v it_o thus_o that_o god_n consider_v as_o the_o original_a or_o fountain_n of_o be_v who_o himself_o be_v and_o give_v be_v to_o all_o thing_n else_o may_v be_v call_v god_n the_o father_n or_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o and_o the_o

not_o much_o mislike_v this_o or_o if_o he_o shall_v i_o will_v not_o quarrel_v with_o he_o on_o that_o account_n or_o be_v positive_a that_o it_o must_v just_o be_v so_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o son_n of_o the_o high_a and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a and_o we_o know_v that_o among_o

be_v from_o god_n we_o have_v our_o be_v our_o rational_a life_n and_o our_o motion_n in_o who_o image_n and_o likeness_n we_o be_v create_v yet_o will_v i_o not_o be_v positive_a much_o less_o will_v i_o require_v every_o one_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n that_o the_o personality_n in_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v these_o i_o be_o content_a to_o rest_v here_o that_o these_o three_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n whatever_o name_v you_o call_v they_o by_o differ_v in_o somewhat_o more_o than_o what_o we_o common_o call_v the_o divine_a attribute_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v three_o god_n or_o more_o god_n than_o one_o but_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n and_o so_o far_o we_o be_v safe_a nor_o be_v there_o any_o danger_n that_o i_o can_v see_v in_o give_v the_o name_n of_o person_n to_o these_o three_o nor_o know_v i_o a_o fit_a name_n to_o give_v they_o and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v as_o much_o as_o need_v be_v say_v as_o to_o all_o those_o letter_n which_o
