define_v that_o be_v for_o somewhat_o analogous_n but_o not_o just_a the_o same_o with_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o when_o apply_v to_o man_n and_o particular_o not_o so_o distinct_a as_o to_o be_v three_o go_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n lest_o those_o who_o will_v have_v we_o so_o do_v shall_v then_o say_v we_o have_v part_v with_o the_o doctrine_n also_o they_o upon_o pretence_n that_o some_o expression_n in_o it_o though_o true_a be_v not_o absolute_o fundamental_a will_v fain_a wheedle_n we_o out_o of_o all_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o because_o some_o word_n may_v be_v spare_v in_o what_o we_o call_v the_o apostolic_a creed_n or_o nicene_n creed_n or_o some_o other_o word_n put_v in_o therefore_o those_o creed_n shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o also_o and_o when_o they_o quarrel_v with_o the_o preface_n of_o it_o whoever_o will_v be_v save_v aught_o to_o hold_v the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o the_o catholic_n faith_n be_v this_o as_o if_o it_o be_v intend_v thereby_o that_o every_o syllable_n in_o it_o be_v so_o fundamental_a as_o without_o know_v whereof_o a_o man_n can_v not_o be_v save_v which_o no_o man_n can_v reasonable_o think_v to_o be_v so_o mean_v by_o the_o penner_n of_o it_o since_o that_o thousand_o be_v save_v even_o in_o their_o opinion_n before_o that_o be_v pen_v and_o other_o since_o that_o never_o hear_v of_o it_o be_v mere_a cavil_v for_o no_o more_o can_v reasonable_o be_v think_v intend_v by_o it_o but_o that_o this_o be_v find_v doctrine_n which_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o aught_o to_o be_v believe_v by_o those_o who_o will_v be_v save_v like_a as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v who_o ever_o will_v be_v save_v aught_o to_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n point_v to_o our_o bible_n no_o man_n who_o be_v not_o mad_a will_v think_v my_o meaning_n to_o be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v who_o do_v not_o know_v that_o one_o of_o iob_n daughter_n be_v name_v jemimah_n or_o that_o zeruiah_n be_v mother_n not_o father_n to_o those_o who_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o zeruiah_n as_o to_o that_o question_n which_o i_o meet_v with_o in_o some_o of_o the_o letter_n why_o just_o three_o person_n and_o no_o more_o the_o answer_n be_v short_a and_o easy_a because_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o of_o three_o but_o of_o no_o more_o and_o have_v not_o the_o scripture_n tell_v it_o we_o we_o have_v not_o know_v of_o these_o three_o we_o be_v baptise_a into_o the_o name_n of_o and_o therefore_o into_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o if_o this_o be_v the_o first_o christian_n creed_n we_o be_v tell_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o not_o that_o there_o be_v more_o such_o than_o three_o and_o to_o these_o three_o somewhat_n we_o give_v the_o name_n of_o person_n meaning_n by_o the_o word_n person_n these_o three_o and_o if_o by_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n we_o mean_v but_o these_o three_o then_o there_o be_v but_o three_o in_o the_o deity_n who_o we_o call_v person_n or_o who_o we_o mean_v by_o that_o name_n there_o be_v another_o ingenious_a person_n a_o stranger_n to_o i_o who_o have_v write_v to_o i_o divers_a letter_n on_o this_o occasion_n full_a of_o gratulation_n approbation_n and_o applause_n but_o in_o one_o of_o they_o he_o move_v a_o question_n concern_v a_o passage_n in_o one_o of_o i_o where_o i_o say_v we_o have_v no_o notion_n in_o our_o mind_n other_o than_o what_o we_o derive_v mediate_o or_o immediate_o from_o sensible_a impression_n of_o finite_a corporeal_a being_n and_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o the_o notion_n of_o one_o infinite_a essence_n shall_v be_v except_v and_o that_o he_o have_v former_o vindicated_n des_n cartes_n against_o mr._n hobbs_n who_o have_v affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o conception_n in_o a_o

thing_n not_o subject_a to_o sense_n but_o in_o a_o follow_a letter_n he_o declare_v himself_o full_o satisfy_v and_o that_o my_o sentiment_n do_v not_o real_o differ_v from_o he_o when_o i_o have_v send_v he_o this_o answer_n viz._n as_o to_o what_o you_o say_v of_o my_o affirm_v that_o we_o have_v no_o notion_n in_o our_o mind_n other_o than_o what_o we_o derive_v mediate_o or_o immediate_o from_o sensible_a impression_n of_o finite_a corporeal_a being_n when_o you_o consider_v it_o again_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v be_v of_o my_o mind_n if_o you_o can_v suppose_v a_o man_n in_o such_o circumstance_n as_o never_o to_o have_v see_v or_o hear_v or_o feel_v any_o thing_n i_o doubt_v whether_o he_o will_v have_v any_o thought_n of_o god_n more_o than_o a_o embryo_n yet_o unborn_a who_o have_v the_o same_o soul_n that_o he_o will_v after_o have_v but_o have_v i_o doubt_v as_o yet_o no_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n sure_o i_o be_o that_o we_o attain_v it_o by_o other_o step_v the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o not_o without_o be_v see_v or_o at_o least_o hear_v of_o or_o some_o way_n make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o sensible_a impression_n the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n be_v clear_o see_v but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v but_o if_o we_o neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v of_o nor_o have_v any_o notion_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v how_o shall_v we_o thence_o derive_v the_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n and_o there_o must_v be_v many_o notion_n antecedent_n to_o that_o of_o one_o infinite_a essence_n which_o must_v be_v derive_v from_o sensible_a impression_n of_o corporeal_a being_n we_o must_v have_v the_o notion_n or_o conception_n of_o ens_fw-la esse_fw-la finis_fw-la finitum_fw-la non-finitum_a vnum_fw-la nonnullum_a non-multa_a before_o we_o can_v have_v the_o notion_n of_o one_o infinite_a essence_n and_o those_o antecedent_n notion_n i_o think_v we_o do_v derive_v mediate_o or_o immediate_o from_o what_o we_o see_v hear_v feel_v or_o some_o way_n apprehend_v by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o sense_n as_o to_o des_fw-mi cartes_n there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a many_o notion_n or_o simple_a apprehension_n which_o he_o must_v presume_v before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o complex_n notion_n of_o deus_fw-la est._n and_o a_o great_a many_o illative_a notion_n from_o natural_a logic_n before_o he_o can_v argue_v cogito_fw-la ergo_fw-la sum_fw-la he_o must_v at_o least_o have_v a_o notion_n or_o simple_a apprehension_n of_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o cogito_fw-la and_o of_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o sum_n and_o of_o what_o by_o ego_fw-la and_o then_o a_o complex_n notion_n that_o what_o be_v not_o can_v think_v and_o then_o this_o illative_a notion_n from_o natural_a logic_n but_o i_o think_v therefore_o i_o be_o and_o i_o doubt_v he_o can_v come_v at_o all_o this_o without_o some_o use_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o even_o after_o all_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o to_o be_v be_v a_o notion_n more_o simple_a and_o therefore_o antecedent_n than_o to_o think_v and_o therefore_o soon_o to_o be_v apprehend_v by_o itself_o than_o by_o consequence_n from_o that_o but_o it_o be_v not_o now_o my_o business_n to_o dispute_v against_o des_n cartes_n only_o to_o show_v that_o sensitive_a notion_n be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o our_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n and_o from_o these_o our_o understanding_n do_v by_o step_n ascend_v to_o these_o upon_o this_o answer_n he_o own_v my_o sentiment_n to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o he_o etc._n etc._n that_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n the_o humane_a intellect_n have_v no_o operation_n but_o what_o be_v occasion_v or_o suggest_v by_o sensible_a object_n but_o he_o think_v i_o perceive_v and_o so_o do_v i_o that_o from_o these_o notion_n occasion_v or_o suggest_v by_o sensible_a object_n our_o intellect_n or_o reason_n improve_v
