after_o his_o censure_n of_o the_o primitive_a doctrine_n herein_o so_o that_o we_o must_v take_v this_o as_o most_o correct_v and_o exact_a he_o than_o that_o hitherto_o omit_v in_o his_o own_o

improper_a to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o trinity_n but_o proper_a to_o the_o messiah_n or_o god_n incarnate_a and_o second_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o he_o deny_v the_o personality_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v eternal_a since_o he_o assert_v it_o to_o result_v from_o the_o union_n of_o two_o nature_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o royal_a or_o sacred_a character_n of_o christ_n be_v personal_n that_o be_v it_o must_v suppose_v personality_n in_o the_o subject_a so_o entitle_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a also_o that_o it_o be_v the_o title_n of_o a_o office_n of_o a_o person_n to_o be_v incarnate_a but_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o the_o personality_n of_o the_o messiah_n commence_v or_o result_v from_o his_o incarnation_n for_o a_o eternal_a person_n assume_v our_o nature_n so_o to_o become_v our_o threefold_a messiah_n so_o that_o though_o the_o character_n and_o office_n of_o christ_n result_v from_o the_o incarnation_n yet_o not_o the_o person_n or_o personality_n for_o to_o this_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v assume_v or_o pre-existent_a but_o add_v or_o contribute_v nothing_o thereunto_o wherefore_o upon_o this_o news_n of_o a_o result_a personality_n i_o ask_v whether_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o person_n antecedent_o to_o his_o incarnation_n or_o no_o if_o not_o this_o be_v downright_a sabellianism_n if_o he_o be_v than_o that_o antecedent_n personality_n do_v not_o result_v from_o the_o incarnation_n but_o if_o you_o add_v another_o from_o the_o assumption_n of_o the_o humanity_n than_o this_o be_v nestorianism_n if_o you_o confound_v they_o into_o a_o compound_n it_o be_v i_o think_v eutychianism_n since_o the_o two_o personality_n can_v be_v confound_v without_o confusion_n of_o nature_n and_o substance_n but_o if_o in_o the_o conjunction_n of_o nature_n one_o personality_n exclude_v or_o destroy_v the_o other_o nothing_o can_v result_v from_o that_o which_o be_v destroy_v but_o that_o personality_n simple_o remain_v as_o it_o be_v before_o that_o destroy_v the_o other_o and_o further_o the_o personality_n that_o destroy_v must_v be_v superior_a to_o the_o destroy_v and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v ten_o to_o one_o but_o the_o divine_a and_o eternal_a personality_n of_o the_o word_n be_v superior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o so_o destroy_v it_o in_o the_o union_n and_o consequent_o there_o result_v no_o personality_n from_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o the_o eternal_a personality_n of_o the_o word_n only_o remain_v simple_o as_o it_o ever_o be_v and_o thus_o at_o last_o truth_n will_v come_v upon_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o for_o i_o do_v not_o suppose_v his_o lordship_n will_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o teach_v that_o a_o create_a personality_n will_v destroy_v a_o uncreated_a by_o the_o conjunction_n of_o a_o create_a nature_n with_o the_o divine_a yet_o after_o all_o i_o believe_v his_o lordship_n fix_v the_o personality_n not_o in_o the_o whole_a
