be_v far_o from_o be_v sabellian_n so_o they_o very_o well_o know_v both_o what_o to_o assert_v and_o how_o to_o express_v themselves_o without_o give_v any_o ground_n for_o their_o be_v think_v so_o

to_o state_n the_o distinction_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n upon_o so_o that_o our_o author_n here_o relapse_n into_o a_o fault_n which_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o more_o than_o once_o viz._n in_o allege_v that_o as_o a_o argument_n against_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v indeed_o a_o most_o effectual_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o his_o three_o and_o last_o objection_n against_o our_o make_v these_o modes_n of_o subsistence_n the_o ground_n or_o formal_a reason_n of_o the_o distinction_n between_o the_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n which_o be_v that_o it_o make_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n only_o three_o modes_n of_o the_o deity_n or_o only_a modally_n distinguish_v whereas_o according_a to_o his_o doctrine_n there_o be_v no_o modes_n in_o the_o

can_v think_v that_o the_o father_n beget_v only_o a_o modus_fw-la and_o call_v it_o his_o son_n whereas_o a_o son_n signify_v a_o real_a person_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n thus_o he_o discourse_v pag._n 83._o 84._o and_o be_v not_o this_o close_a and_o profound_a reason_n but_o as_o profound_a as_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n his_o argument_n must_v lie_v in_o this_o that_o all_o the_o forementioned_a absurdity_n unavoidable_o follow_v from_o derive_v the_o distinction_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n from_o three_o

i_o shall_v consider_v what_o he_o have_v say_v particular_o and_o here_o first_o of_o all_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o this_o man_n will_v never_o leave_v confound_v thing_n perfect_o

they_o to_o be_v only_a modally_n distinguish_v be_v quite_o another_o the_o former_a we_o absolute_o deny_v and_o as_o positive_o hold_v the_o latter_a and_o yet_o this_o wretched_a fallacy_n will_v he_o impose_v upon_o his_o reader_n all_o along_o viz._n that_o the_o assertor_n of_o these_o modes_n of_o subsistence_n in_o the_o trinity_n make_v a_o person_n to_o be_v only_o a_o modus_fw-la subsistendi_fw-la 1632._o but_o that_o be_v his_o own_o blunder_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o a_o person_n be_v only_o a_o modus_fw-la but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n or_o godhead_n subsist_v under_o such_o a_o modus_fw-la so_o that_o the_o godhead_n be_v still_o include_v in_o it_o join_v to_o it_o and_o distinguish_v by_o it_o this_o be_v what_o we_o affirm_v and_o

so_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o admire_v that_o invincible_a and_o glorious_a ratiocination_n of_o he_o in_o these_o word_n p._n 84._o no_o man_n say_v he_o can_v think_v that_o the_o father_n beget_v only_o a_o modus_fw-la and_o call_v it_o his_o son_n no_o good_a sir_n no_o none_o that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v in_o any_o danger_n of_o think_v or_o say_v so_o no_o more_o than_o that_o socrates_n beget_v only_o the_o shape_n and_o figure_n of_o a_o man_n and_o then_o call_v it_o his_o son_n or_o to_o turn_v your_o own_o blunt_a weapon_n upon_o yourself_o no_o more_o than_o god_n the_o father_n beget_v another_o self-consciousness_n beside_o his_o own_o and_o call_v that_o his_o son_n nevertheless_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v i_o that_o socrates_n may_v beget_v one_o of_o such_o a_o shape_n and_o figure_n and_o by_o lady_n xantippe_n and_o this_o author_n be_v good_a leave_n call_v that_o his_o son_n and_o that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v beget_v a_o person_n endue_v with_o such_o a_o self-consciousness_n among_o other_o attribute_n and_o call_v that_o his_o son_n too_o but_o i_o perceive_v this_o author_n and_o the_o fallacy_n of_o the_o accident_n be_v such_o fast_a friend_n that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o think_v of_o part_v they_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o i_o tell_v he_o what_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v concern_v the_o

we_o do_v hold_v and_o affirm_v that_o the_o father_n communicate_v his_o nature_n under_o a_o different_a mode_n of_o subsist_v from_o what_o it_o have_v in_o himself_o to_o another_o and_o that_o such_o a_o communication_n of_o it_o in_o such_o a_o peculiar_a way_n be_v proper_o call_v his_o beget_n of_o a_o son_n in_o which_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o father_n beget_v a_o modus_fw-la
