to_o draw_v such_o consequence_n as_o these_o in_o order_n to_o ascribe_v heresy_n to_o those_o who_o sometime_o use_v the_o word_n god_n in_o one_o of_o these_o signification_n and_o sometime_o in_o another_o be_v mere_a sophistry_n we_o say_v that_o the_o father_n be_v god_n to_o denote_v his_o divine_a essence_n we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n to_o express_v the_o common_a work_n of_o the_o trinity_n we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v incarnate_a to_o signify_v the_o union_n of_o the_o word_n with_o humanity_n how_o many_o heresy_n may_v be_v impute_v to_o writer_n if_o one_o will_v make_v such_o objection_n against_o they_o and_o urge_v upon_o the_o word_n god_n notion_n altogether_o foreign_a to_o the_o subject_a in_o hand_n but_o god_n be_v thank_v that_o all_o those_o

that_o those_o who_o have_v suppose_v different_a operation_n in_o the_o two_o person_n be_v according_a to_o this_o system_n as_o much_o tritheist_n as_o the_o first_o mr._n hill_n affirm_v on_o

that_o the_o use_n of_o these_o notion_n be_v only_a that_o the_o father_n may_v get_v out_o of_o tritheism_n this_o be_v a_o very_a pitiful_a accusation_n it_o seem_v mr._n hill_n do_v not_o

explain_v the_o procession_n of_o the_o person_n pass_v for_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n namely_o that_o the_o son_n proceed_v by_o the_o understanding_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o will_n though_o very_o eminent_a divine_n have_v reject_v these_o definition_n as_o zanchius_n lib._n 5._o c._n ultimo_fw-la and_o durandus_fw-la refute_v they_o in_o 1._o dist_n 6._o q._n 2._o as_o to_o what_o mr._n hill_n fancy_n that_o the_o bishop_n be_v guilty_a of_o tritheism_n because_o he_o ascribe_v different_a operation_n to_o the_o two_o person_n the_o poor_a man_n be_v visible_o mistake_v do_v not_o all_o divine_n acknowledge_v different_a operation_n of_o the_o two_o person_n be_v they_o thereby_o infect_v with_o tritheism_n or_o be_v st._n paul_n infect_v with_o heresy_n when_o he_o
