be_v god_n in_o the_o high_a sense_n to_o suppose_v he_o but_o a_o concur_v god_n it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n ungod_v he_o since_o we_o can_v say_v then_o that_o we_o owe_v more_o than_o the_o three_o

to_o have_v existence_n from_o god_n by_o way_n of_o necessary_a emanation_n contain_v in_o themselves_o a_o direct_a contradiction_n for_o whatsoever_o substantial_a be_v or_o nature_n emane_v from_o

but_o to_o suppose_v a_o nature_n to_o exist_v by_o emaning_n be_v to_o suppose_v it_o do_v not_o exist_v before_o its_o emanation_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o emane_n from_o another_o nature_n
