A60941	Animadversions upon Dr. Sherlock's book, entituled A vindication of the holy and ever-blessed Trinity, &c, together with a more necessary vindication of that sacred and prime article of the Christian faith from his new notions, and false explications of it / humbly offered to his admirers, and to himself the chief of them, by a divine of the Church of England.	South, Robert, 1634-1716.	1693 (1693)	Wing S4731; ESTC R10418	260,169	412

it_o must_v be_v either_o from_o some_o distinct_a substance_n or_o some_o accident_n or_o some_o mode_n of_o be_v for_o i_o defy_v he_o or_o any_o mortal_a breathe_n to_o assign_v a_o four_o thing_n beside_o these_o but_o it_o can_v be_v from_o any_o distinct_a substance_n for_o that_o will_v make_v a_o manifest_a composition_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n nor_o yet_o from_o any_o accident_n for_o that_o will_v make_v a_o worse_a composition_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o distinction_n must_v unavoidable_o proceed_v from_o one_o or_o more_o distinct_a modes_n of_o be_v this_o i_o affirm_v and_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n make_v to_o this_o author_n in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o defend_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n against_o he_o whensoever_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o engage_v in_o the_o dispute_n second_o in_o the_o next_o place_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o from_o authority_n i_o affirm_v that_o all_o metaphysician_n schoolman_n and_o divine_n at_o least_o all_o that_o i_o have_v yet_o meet_v with_o do_v unanimous_o concur_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o they_o utter_o deny_v any_o accident_n in_o god_n and_o 2._o that_o they_o do_v as_o universal_o affirm_v modes_n of_o be_v to_o be_v in_o god_n and_o to_o belong_v to_o he_o nay_o and_o which_o be_v more_o that_o they_o do_v in_o these_o very_a modes_n state_n the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o personality_n and_o the_o distinction_n thereof_o respective_o belong_v to_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o for_o a_o further_a proof_n of_o what_o i_o have_v here_o affirm_v and_o withal_o to_o show_v how_o unable_a this_o man_n memory_n be_v to_o keep_v pace_n with_o his_o confidence_n whereas_o in_o the_o forementioned_a page_n 47._o he_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n mark_v this_o word_n deny_v accident_n quality_n and_o m●des_n to_o be_v in_o god_n he_o himself_o afterward_o in_o page_n 48._o own_v that_o the_o schoolman_n hold_v these_o different_a modos_fw-la subsistendi_fw-la in_o the_o godhead_n and_o according_o there_o set_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o confute_v they_o for_o it_o now_o how_o shall_v we_o reconcile_v these_o blind_a assertion_n that_o so_o cruel_o bu●t_v and_o run_v their_o head_n against_o one_o another_o for_o will_v he_o say_v that_o the_o schoolman_n do_v not_o grant_v such_o mode_n to_o be_v in_o god_n after_o he_o himself_o have_v do_v his_o poor_a utmost_a to_o confute_v they_o for_o hold_v it_o or_o have_v say_v that_o all_o man_n deny_v these_o mode_n to_o be_v in_o god_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o school_n man_n grant_v and_o hold_v it_o will_v he_o say_v that_o the_o schoolman_n be_v not_o man_n and_o so_o come_v not_o under_o that_o universal_a appellative_a what_o the_o schoolman_n hold_v and_o assert_v in_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v sufficient_o show_v already_o but_o i_o must_v needs_o tell_v this_o author_n upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v something_o a_o bad_a memory_n and_o withal_o to_o have_v more_o than_o ordinary_a need_n of_o a_o very_a good_a one_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o observe_v and_o it_o be_v something_o pleasant_a viz._n that_o our_o author_n have_v explode_v all_o modos_fw-la subsistendi_fw-la in_o god_n and_o chastise_v the_o schoolman_n for_o hold_v they_o even_o to_o a_o forfeiture_n of_o their_o very_a humanity_n he_o yet_o vouchsafe_v afterward_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o correctory_n explication_n to_o allow_v they_o in_o this_o sense_n viz._n that_o the_o same_o numerical_a essence_n be_v whole_a and_o entire_a in_o each_o divine_a person_n but_o in_o a_o different_a manner_n p._n 84._o line_n 12_o 13_o 14._o by_o which_o word_n it_o appear_v that_o he_o grant_v that_o of_o the_o manner_n which_o he_o have_v before_o deny_v of_o the_o modus_fw-la it_o be_v a_o shrewd_a temptation_n to_o i_o to_o think_v that_o certain_o this_o acute_a author_n take_v modus_fw-la for_o one_o thing_n and_o manner_n for_o another_o in_o fine_a i_o appeal_v to_o the_o judicious_a and_o impartial_a reader_n whether_o a_o man_n can_v well_o give_v a_o more_o convince_a argument_n of_o his_o utter_a unacquaintance_n with_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o philosophy_n and_o theology_n than_o by_o a_o confident_a assertion_n of_o these_o two_o position_n 1._o that_o accident_n and_o mode_n of_o be_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o 2._o that_o such_o modes_n be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o or_o admit_v in_o god_n second_o his_o second_o objection_n against_o our_o state_v the_o distinction_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n upon_o three_o different_a modes_n of_o subsistence_n be_v that_o these_o modes_n be_v little_o better_o than_o three_o name_n of_o one_o god_n which_o be_v the_o heresy_n of_o sabellius_n p._n 83._o to_o which_o i_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o in_o direct_a and_o absolute_a contradiction_n to_o what_o he_o assert_n i_o affirm_v that_o the_o difference_n between_o three_o modes_n of_o subsistence_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o only_o three_o distinct_a name_n apply_v to_o it_o be_v very_o great_a for_o name_n and_o word_n depend_v only_o upon_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o imposer_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o self_n upon_o which_o they_o be_v impose_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n neither_o do_v nor_o can_v internal_o affect_v it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o modes_n of_o subsistence_n spring_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o be_v which_o they_o affect_v both_o antecedent_o to_o and_o by_o consequence_n independent_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n or_o will_v of_o any_o one_o so_o that_o although_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n have_v ever_o consider_v or_o think_v of_o or_o so_o much_o as_o know_v that_o there_o be_v such_o or_o such_o thing_n yet_o the_o mode_n of_o subsistence_n proper_a to_o they_o will_v have_v belong_v to_o they_o as_o real_o and_o as_o much_o as_o they_o do_v now_o and_o if_o this_o author_n can_v by_o this_o see_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o these_o and_o so_o many_o bare_a name_n thanks_o be_v to_o god_n other_o can_v both_o see_v and_o defend_v it_o too_o but_o second_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o these_o three_o modes_n be_v but_o little_o better_a than_o three_o name_n i_o answer_v that_o his_o very_a say_n so_o be_v concession_n that_o they_o be_v something_o at_o least_o more_o and_o better_a to_o which_o i_o add_v further_o that_o this_o something_o as_o small_a a_o difference_n as_o it_o make_v be_v yet_o sufficient_a to_o discriminate_a thing_n which_o be_v only_o distinguishable_a and_o no_o more_o for_o separable_a or_o divisible_a from_o one_o another_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o be_v not_o nay_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o just_a and_o rational_a exception_n against_o place_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n in_o so_o many_o different_a modes_n of_o subsistence_n that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o very_a great_a and_o learned_a man_n it_o be_v no_o small_a argument_n for_o it_o for_o st._n cyril_n say_v that_o the_o difference_n paris_n between_o the_o divine_a person_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o perfect_a unity_n of_o their_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v blot_v out_o or_o take_v away_o all_o diversity_n between_o they_o be_v so_o very_o small_a as_o but_o just_a to_o distinguish_v they_o and_o no_o more_o and_o to_o cause_v that_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v call_v the_o other_o the_o father_n not_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o son_n upon_o any_o account_n the_o father_n etc._n etc._n i_o think_v fit_a to_o transcribe_v the_o whole_a passage_n

durandus_fw-la affirm_v that_o the_o first_o instance_n of_o plurality_n or_o remove_n from_o unity_n aught_o to_o be_v the_o least_o and_o therefore_o that_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o divine_a
