will_v allow_v we_o to_o give_v a_o name_n to_o it_o that_o name_n whatever_o it_o be_v be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o to_o denote_v this_o notion_n and_o we_o think_v the_o word_n person_n a_o fit_a name_n to_o denote_v this_o notion_n by_o but_o if_o we_o may_v not_o give_v it_o a_o name_n we_o must_v then_o say_v the_o notion_n be_v such_o as_o be_v but_o now_o explain_v but_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o give_v it_o a_o name_n and_o as_o to_o our_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n i_o think_v the_o trinitarian_n do_v less_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o than_o do_v the_o anti-trinitarians_a but_o he_o say_v p._n 9_o i_o own_o the_o word_n person_n when_o apply_v to_o god_n to_o be_v but_o metaphorical_a and_o not_o to_o signify_v just_a the_o same_o as_o when_o apply_v to_o man_n but_o somewhat_o analogous_n thereunto_o true_a i_o do_v so_o and_o i_o have_v give_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v so_o more_o than_o once_o because_o two_o of_o they_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n under_o the_o name_n of_o father_n and_o son_n and_o this_o son_n say_v to_o be_v beget_v of_o that_o father_n which_o word_n be_v therefore_o not_o to_o be_v quarrel_v with_o because_o scripture_n language_n no_o man_n think_v that_o the_o one_o be_v so_o a_o father_n or_o the_o other_o so_o a_o son_n or_o so_o beget_v as_o these_o word_n signify_v concern_v man_n but_o somewhat_o analogous_n thereunto_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n they_o be_v father_n and_o son_n they_o be_v in_o a_o sense_n analogous_fw-la thereunto_o two_o person_n and_o the_o holy-ghost_n a_o three_o for_o father_n and_o son_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n among_o man_n be_v such_o relative_n as_o the_o latin_n do_v denote_v by_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la in_o the_o first_o and_o proper_a signification_n of_o that_o word_n and_o consequent_o father_n and_o son_n in_o this_o analogical_a sense_n be_v in_o a_o continuation_n of_o the_o same_o analogy_n person_n in_o a_o like_o analogical_a sense_n but_o he_o say_v further_a that_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n let._n iii._o p._n 13._o i_o interpret_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o

greek_a hypostasis_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o they_o be_v there_o call_v father_n and_o son_n and_o that_o the_o word_n person_n be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a continuation_n of_o the_o same_o analogy_n i_o have_v before_o declare_v more_o than_o once_o in_o the_o place_n by_o he_o cite_v p._n 9_o 10._o that_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o latin_a word_n persona_fw-la be_v not_o to_o denote_v a_o man_n simple_o for_o this_o with_o they_o be_v homo_fw-la not_o persona_fw-la but_o such_o quality_n state_n or_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n whereby_o he_o

he_o may_v be_v a_o king_n and_o a_o father_n and_o according_a as_o such_o condition_n vary_v the_o person_n also_o vary_v it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o english_a for_o want_n of_o a_o word_n that_o answer_v to_o homo_fw-la we_o sometime_o make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n person_n when_o we_o speak_v indifferent_o of_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n as_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n and_o a_o infant_n

and_o child_n they_o may_v as_o thus_o relate_v be_v call_v tres_fw-la personae_fw-la and_o the_o schoolman_n sometime_o and_o some_o other_o in_o imitation_n of_o they_o do_v in_o a_o like_a sense_n use_v the_o word_n persona_fw-la for_o want_v of_o a_o latin_a word_n which_o do_v indifferent_o respect_v man_n and_o angel_n but_o these_o be_v new_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la quite_o

to_o those_o of_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v at_o large_a let._n v_o p._n 15._o etc._n etc._n but_o at_o this_o rate_n he_o tell_v we_o p._n 10._o the_o socinian_o will_v
