it_o mean_v for_o i_o understand_v well_o then_o enough_o the_o meaning_n of_o my_o own_o word_n when_o i_o say_v i_o know_v you_o be_v reach_v i_o but_o yet_o i_o can_v explain_v myself_o nor_o

for_o when_o you_o know_v a_o man_n that_o man_n leave_v not_o to_o be_v what_o he_o be_v in_o the_o least_o for_o your_o know_v he_o but_o stand●_z aloof_o from_o be_v independent_a of_o and_o

the_o thing_n know_v be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o knower_n take_v as_o such_o as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o self_n god_n therefore_o notwithstanding_o this_o distinction_n be_v more_o one_o with_o

to_o the_o predicament_n or_o notion_n of_o relation_n learned_a man_n will_v also_o tell_v you_o that_o relation_n out_o of_o our_o understanding_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o thing_n relate_v as_o that_o two_o yard_n have_v to_o be_v equal_a be_v nothing_o but_o to_o be_v each_o a_o yard_n peter_n and_o paul_n to_o be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n be_v nothing_o but_o to_o be_v what_o they_o

a_o long_a time_n to_o explicate_v than_o the_o intent_n of_o so_o short_a a_o catechism_n permit_v s._n i_o have_v be_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o knowledge_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o the_o same_o nature_n know_v look_v nothing_o like_o any_o of_o these_o m._n think_v you_o so_o tell_v i_o then_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v a_o father_n s._n it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o son_n m._n we_o be_v still_o as_o far_o to_o and._n seek_v as_o former_o for_o when_o i_o come_v to_o ask_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o son_n you_o may_v aswell_o answer_v it_o be_v son_n to_o have_v a_o father_n which_o word_n remain_v yet_o unexplicate_v we_o be_v still_o at_o a_o loss_n but_o to_o go_v your_o way_n because_o either_o of_o those_o

enough_o so_o one_o it_o fire_n spring_v from_o another_o yet_o the_o new_a fire_n be_v not_o call_v the_o other_o fire_n son_n s._n i_o see_v now_o they_o must_v both_o at_o least_o be_v live_v

according_a to_o some_o part_n of_o he_o of_o which_o the_o son_n be_v make_v s._n i_o imagine_v so_o sir_n else_o i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o come_v by_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v for_o i_o be_o tell_v god_n create_v none_o a_o new_a m._n sum_v up_o than_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o a_o son_n be_v a_o live_a thing_n proceed_v from_o a_o live_a thing_n of_o like_a nature_n as_o from_o a_o principle_n remain_v in_o it_o this_o be_v settle_v tell_v i_o next_o what_o think_v you_o of_o god_n or_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v he_o not_o a_o live_a thing_n s._n yes_o without_o doubt_n he_o that_o give_v life_n to_o all_o thing_n must_v needs_o god_n himself_o have_v life_n or_o be_v live_v m._n and_o in_o god_n whence_o proceed_v this_o knowledge_n of_o

or_o of_o like_a nature_n with_o 〈◊〉_d as_o be_v show_v and_o that_o this_o nature_n in_o our_o case_n be_v in_o both_o knower_n and_o thing_n know_v live_v and_o that_o knowledge_n of_o god_n proceed_v from_o god_n as_o a_o know_v object_n or_o thing_n know_v last_o that_o the_o divine_a essence_n know_v remain_v in_o the_o knowledge_n that_o proceed_v from_o it_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a that_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o in_o god_n proceed_v as_o a_o live_a thing_n son_n from_o a_o live_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o from_o a_o principle_n remain_v in_o it_o that_o be_v as_o we_o show_v that_o this_o knowledge_n be_v proper_o a_o son_n this_o the_o divine_a nature_n know_v proper_o a_o father_n and_o so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n father_n and_o son_n father_n s._n i_o think_v sir_n i_o now_o begin_v to_o see_v some_o glimpse_n how_o the_o eternal_a son_n be_v beget_v of_o his_o father_n which_o before_o sound_v strange_o to_o i_o how_o he_o be_v god_n of_o god_n only_o beget_v the_o wisdom_n and_o image_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n and_o such_o like_a expression_n which_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o crred_n and_o prayer-book_n but_o never_o can_v frame_v any_o conceit_n of_o they_o which_o make_v my_o devotion_n very_o dull_a and_o dry_a but_o likewise_o still_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o nothing_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n m._n do_v you_o not_o tell_v i_o that_o thing_n a_o spirit_n have_v will_n as_o well_o as_o understanding_n or_o knowledge_n if_o then_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o the_o will_v be_v love_n and_o that_o you_o grant_v god_n love_v himself_o that_o be_v be_v the_o thing_n love_v and_o thing_n love_v that_o be_v the_o same_o nature_n or_o god_n be_v in_o both_o yet_o as_o love_v and_o love_a import_v distinction_n as_o well_o as_o knowledge_n and_o thing_n know_v you_o will_v easy_o gather_v by_o a_o dsicourse_v love_n parallel_n to_o the_o former_a that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o god_n beside_o father_n and_o son_n a_o three_o that_o be_v love_n one_o in_o nature_n yet_o distinct_a in_o relation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n s._n i_o apprehend_v in_o some_o degree_n how_o the_o discourse_n go_v but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n m._n remember_v well_o that_o the_o also_o holy_a ghost_n be_v love_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v that_o whence_o love_n proceed_v in_o rational_a thing_n or_o that_o which_o rational_a thing_n love_v good_a s._n that_o which_o be_v their_o good_a m._n and_o what_o judge_v you_o to_o be_v the_o the_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n be_v it_o not_o truth_n s._n i_o think_v you_o mean_v by_o intellectual_a capable_a of_o know_v and_o truth_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a nothing_o be_v so_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o it_o as_o error_n for_o they_o who_o have_v this_o perfect_o know_v nothing_o wherefore_o this_o also_o truth_n must_v by_o consequence_n be_v the_o perfection_n and_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n m._n you_o answer_v learned_o but_o knowledge_n i_o fear_v it_o be_v only_o repeat_v by_o rote_n what_o i_o have_v so_o oft_o tell_v you_o well_o and_o in_o what_o consist_v truth_n be_v it_o not_o in_o this_o that_o the_o object_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n s._n i_o conceive_v so_o sir_n m._n

the_o good_a proper_a to_o he_o and_o consequent_o the_o source_n of_o divine_a love_n be_v that_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o object_n or_o son_n know_v be_v in_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o

be_v he_o call_v holy_a be_v not_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o holy_a as_o he_o m._n yes_o but_o you_o must_v conceive_v call_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o action_n be_v appropriate_v to_o each_o of_o those_o three_o and_o so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v holy_a so_o proper_a to_o teach_v we_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o that_o which_o be_v essential_o divine_a knowledge_n or_o the_o
