forgive_v mat._n 11.31_o and_o now_o let_v this_o writer_n consider_v if_o he_o have_v not_o fine_o prove_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o exclude_v the_o other_o two_o divine_a

prove_v he_o god_n equal_a to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n have_v prove_v he_o god_n superior_a in_o this_o respect_n to_o both_o which_o be_v such_o a_o way_n of_o prove_v he_o never_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o have_v he_o but_o consult_v his_o own_o reason_n or_o a_o good_a commentator_n and_o if_o he_o do_v it_o know_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a to_o be_v a_o unpardonable_a sin_n the_o socinian_n slay_v have_v but_o one_o argument_n more_o that_o merit_v a_o remark_n and_o that_o be_v his_o eighteen_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o p._n 21._o be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n and_o son_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n i_o mean_v with_o respect_n to_o his_o essence_n since_o every_o body_n will_v grant_v that_o the_o father_n be_v so_o what_o do_v this_o

if_o this_o be_v his_o meaning_n though_o it_o be_v not_o well_o express_v yet_o it_o look_v more_o like_o a_o divine_a unity_n and_o be_v indeed_o the_o nominal_a trinity_n and_o not_o the_o tritheistic_a against_o which_o i_o write_v or_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n and_o son_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o god_n of_o the_o same_o divine_a kind_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n if_o this_o be_v his_o sense_n as_o some_o other_o passage_n seem_v to_o countenance_n then_o without_o breach_n of_o charity_n i_o must_v charge_v he_o though_o i_o be_o sorry_a for_o it_o with_o downright_a tritheism_n or_o polytheism_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o much_o heavy_a accusation_n than_o any_o he_o can_v charge_v or_o have_v fair_o bring_v against_o his_o real_a wellwisher_n the_o unitarian_n but_o the_o author_n have_v another_o ambiguous_a phrase_n in_o his_o proof_n and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v most_o high_a god_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o essence_n what_o be_v he_o not_o so_o then_o with_o respect_n to_o his_o person_n if_o he_o be_v not_o so_o in_o person_n i_o do_v see_v how_o he_o can_v be_v so_o at_o all_o for_o what_o he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o person_n he_o be_v mot_n any_o other_o way_n for_o all_o he_o be_v be_v person_n no_o no_o the_o socinian_n slay_v can_v find_v out_o a_o way_n wherein_o he_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n though_o he_o be_v not_o so_o in_o person_n how_o i_o pray_v not_o by_o proxy_n certain_o no_o but_o in_o essence_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o socinian_n slay_a what_o essence_n signify_v in_o this_o place_n and_o in_o other_o passage_n of_o his_o book_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o use_v it_o in_o no_o certain_a sense_n
