nature_n or_o essence_n of_o they_o no_o not_o of_o a_o pile_n of_o grass_n why_o of_o that_o colour_n shape_v or_o virtue_n how_o then_o can_v we_o know_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v or_o can_v we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o right_o reveal_v to_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v we_o know_v of_o what_o composition_n our_o own_o soul_n be_v make_v or_o how_o they_o act_n in_o we_o do_v we_o know_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o of_o the_o soul_n but_o by_o the_o effect_n we_o know_v we_o think_v therefore_o we_o conclude_v we_o have_v a_o soul_n but_o what_o that_o soul_n be_v in_o its_o self_n we_o know_v not_o yet_o we_o will_v know_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n 10._o this_o bring_v i_o to_o a_o criticism_n of_o the_o remarker_n upon_o the_o parallel_n i_o make_v use_v of_o concern_v the_o three_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n he_o say_v p._n 3._o that_o the_o memory_n be_v not_o another_o faculty_n but_o only_o a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n now_o i_o think_v that_o the_o understanding_n be_v only_o conversant_a about_o what_o be_v then_o present_a before_o it_o and_o that_o the_o memonry_n bring_v back_o past_a thing_n and_o so_o make_v they_o present_v to_o the_o understanding_n whence_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o good_a understanding_n and_o yet_o a_o bad_a memory_n do_v we_o say_v of_o the_o understanding_n that_o it_o forget_v i_o take_v truth_n or_o falsehood_n to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o understanding_n but_o be_v love_n or_o hatred_n so_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o aversion_n and_o not_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o non_fw-la amo_fw-la te_fw-la sabidi_fw-la nec_fw-la possum_fw-la dicere_fw-la quare_fw-la hoc_fw-la tantum_fw-la possum_fw-la dicere_fw-la non_fw-la amo_fw-la te_fw-la be_v there_o antipathys_n in_o the_o understanding_n i_o think_v this_o be_v general_o attribute_v to_o the_o will_n and_o it_o be_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v a_o distinct_a faculty_n from_o the_o understanding_n and_o if_o there_o be_v different_a faculty_n in_o the_o same_o soul_n it_o answer_v all_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o i_o bring_v that_o parallel_n nay_o if_o it_o be_v but_o so_o think_v it_o do_v as_o well_o for_o i_o to_o solve_n the_o objection_n about_o contradiction_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o think_v a_o plurality_n of_o person_n in_o god_n to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n when_o the_o same_o difficulty_n arise_v from_o a_o plurality_n of_o faculty_n in_o the_o soul_n for_o three_o faculty_n can_v no_o more_o be_v one_o faculty_n than_o three_o person_n can_v be_v one_o person_n and_o yet_o these_o different_a faculty_n make_v up_o but_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o soul_n 11._o but_o i_o have_v sufficient_o caution_v that_o i_o intend_v not_o to_o bring_v any_o proof_n from_o these_o parallel_n nor_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o the_o cause_n upon_o they_o yet_o i_o think_v they_o not_o altogether_o useless_a to_o show_v man_n how_o far_o they_o may_v mistake_v in_o charge_v contradiction_n from_o one_o nature_n to_o another_o 12_o i_o have_v likewise_o tell_v that_o no_o parallel_n in_o create_a nature_n can_v answer_v exact_o or_o come_v up_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n only_o point_v he_o out_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o with_o infinite_a disproportion_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v not_o argue_v strict_o from_o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o yet_o the_o remarker_n will_v not_o observe_v this_o but_o argue_v of_o the_o person_n of_o god_n as_o of_o human_a person_n and_o say_v p._n 4._o if_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v like_o three_o human_a person_n and_o if_o three_o divine_a person_n shall_v as_o proper_o be_v account_v three_o god_n as_o three_o human_a person_n can_v in_o strict_a speech_n be_v account_v three_o man_n thence_o he_o infer_v three_o god_n etc._n etc._n he_o can_v i_o think_v but_o see_v the_o fallacy_n of_o this_o argument_n after_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v but_o he_o will_v not_o see_v it_o he_o will_v still_o argue_v strictly_n from_o the_o word_n person_n and_o apply_v it_o to_o god_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o it_o be_v use_v among_o men._n if_o he_o will_v apply_v the_o word_n father_n so_o which_o himself_o give_v to_o god_n or_o god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v to_o grieve_v etc._n etc._n what_o work_n will_v he_o make_v what_o contradiction_n may_v he_o infer_v his_o brother_n socinian_n mr._n biddle_n as_o i_o have_v show_v turn_v anthropomorphit_n by_o this_o sort_n of_o argument_n and_o from_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n hold_v god_n to_o have_v a_o body_n and_o of_o human_a shape_n and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v make_v he_o a_o bird_n too_o because_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o his_o wing_n and_o

7._o raise_v difficulty_n how_o a_o beget_v be_v can_v be_v god_n think_v of_o beget_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o then_o the_o father_n must_v be_v in_o time_n as_o well_o as_o in_o nature_n before_o the_o son_n and_o it_o have_v be_v tell_v he_o that_o suppose_v the_o sun_n to_o be_v eternal_a its_o light_n will_v be_v as_o eternal_a he_o reply_v p._n 7._o that_o this_o parallel_n will_v not_o do_v for_o that_o the_o light_n which_o say_v he_o you_o call_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v indeed_o the_o very_a sun_n itself_o so_o may_v well_o be_v as_o old_a by_o which_o the_o very_a sun_n we_o see_v in_o the_o firmament_n and_o be_v many_o time_n big_a than_o the_o whole_a earth_n can_v creep_v through_o a_o cranny_n and_o be_v all_o of_o it_o in_o this_o room_n and_o in_o a_o thousand_o other_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o will_v help_v transubstantiation_a not_o a_o little_a but_o be_v it_o so_o indeed_o that_o this_o subtle_a socinian_n can_v see_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o very_a sun_n itself_o and_o the_o light_n that_o flow_v from_o it_o it_o be_v then_o time_n to_o have_v do_v dispute_v with_o he_o and_o he_o run_v into_o as_o great_a absurdity_n to_o get_v rid_v of_o these_o parallel_n as_o he_o charge_v upon_o i_o for_o make_v use_n of_o they_o he_o say_v as_o before_o quote_v sect._n 4._o that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o star_n our_o eye_n move_v not_o up_o to_o they_o but_o their_o extend_a ray_n strike_v upon_o the_o eye_n but_o if_o the_o ray_n or_o the_o light_n be_v the_o very_a star_n itself_o than_o the_o very_a star_n itself_o strike_v upon_o the_o eye_n let_v he_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n so_o very_o gross_a as_o this_o in_o any_o of_o the_o parallel_n i_o have_v produce_v and_o on_o who_o side_n lie_v the_o poor_a philosophy_n and_o shallow_a reason_v 14._o therefore_o leave_v this_o subject_a i_o will_v now_o only_o answer_v a_o observation_n he_o make_v from_o scripture_n wherein_o he_o say_v p._n 2._o god_n almighty_a be_v perpetual_o express_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n under_o one_o he_o me_n thou_o etc._n etc._n now_o lest_o the_o reader_n of_o these_o remark_n shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o this_o i_o must_v mind_v he_o that_o this_o socinian_n say_v this_o without_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o the_o text_n i_o have_v give_v to_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o 2d_o dialogue_n p._n 32_o etc._n etc._n begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o genesis_n where_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o plural_a as_o well_o as_o the_o singular_a number_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o be_v there_o call_v god_n and_o we_o as_o well_o as_o god_n and_o me._n and_o be_v he_o not_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n in_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o remarker_n ought_v to_o have_v mark_v this_o and_o not_o to_o have_v put_v the_o objection_n over_o again_o without_o say_v something_o to_o the_o answer_n have_v be_v make_v to_o it_o if_o this_o sheet_n give_v he_o not_o full_a satisfaction_n i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o hear_v from_o he_o again_o content_n 1._o his_o rude_a treatment_n of_o i_o 2._o the_o argument_n i_o make_v use_v of_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o infer_v a_o contradiction_n from_o a_o nature_n

here_o 8._o he_o express_o own_v my_o argument_n to_o the_o full_a 9_o his_o distinction_n of_o our_o partial_a knowledge_n of_o god_n will_v not_o do_v for_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o nature_n

his_o argument_n that_o god_n be_v perpetual_o express_v in_o scripture_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n show_v to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o he_o give_v no_o answer_n to_o what_o i_o have_v say_v
