inexi_v in_o one_o another_o and_o last_o only_o distinct_a in_o their_o subsistence_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n separate_a or_o divide_v let_v all_o this_o i_o say_v be_v suppose_v on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o son_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o suppose_v two_o other_o person_n viz._n the_o prototype_n and_o his_o live_a image_n and_o these_o without_o any_o necessary_a coexistence_n with_o one_o another_o and_o the_o latter_a not_o have_v it_o be_v sole_a dependence_n upon_o the_o former_a and_o both_o of_o they_o such_o as_o can_v mutual_o exist_v in_o one_o another_o and_o withal_o be_v not_o only_o distinct_a in_o their_o respective_a subsistence_n but_o also_o actual_o separate_v and_o local_o divide_v from_o each_o other_o now_o i_o say_v when_o we_o have_v collate_v all_o these_o disparity_n together_o must_v not_o that_o comparison_n think_v we_o give_v we_o a_o bless_a edify_n representation_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o son_n in_o the_o same_o numerical_a divine_a nature_n when_o one_o side_n of_o the_o comparison_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o explication_n of_o that_o it_o be_v a_o direct_a irreconcilable_a contradiction_n to_o the_o other_o but_o as_o we_o first_o wave_v the_o consideration_n of_o those_o monstrous_a absurdity_n that_o be_v involve_v in_o this_o notion_n of_o a_o man_n and_o his_o live_a image_n with_o reference_n to_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o son_n so_o let_v we_o at_o present_a wave_n the_o forementioned_a gross_a disparity_n between_o they_o also_o yet_o still_o this_o notion_n be_v utter_o unfit_a to_o give_v we_o any_o explication_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o difficult_a if_o not_o more_o difficult_a for_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v than_o the_o trinity_n itself_o for_o the_o grand_a difficulty_n here_o be_v to_o conceive_v how_o one_o and_o the_o same_o infinite_a nature_n can_v be_v in_o several_a distinct_a though_o intimate_o unite_v person_n and_o the_o thing_n which_o this_o author_n will_v explain_v this_o by_o be_v a_o man_n and_o his_o image_n where_o he_o suppose_v one_o and_o the_o same_o numerical_o subsist_v human_a nature_n to_o be_v in_o two_o local_o distinct_a and_o separately_z subsist_v person_n but_o now_o in_o this_o case_n be_v it_o not_o much_o more_o conceivable_a that_o a_o infinite_a nature_n who_o boundless_a perfection_n reach_v to_o more_o way_n of_o subsist_v than_o one_o shall_v subsist_v in_o several_a person_n and_o those_o only_a distinct_a than_o that_o a_o particular_a finite_a nature_n which_o can_v have_v but_o one_o subsistence_n shall_v subsist_v in_o two_o person_n and_o those_o also_o local_o distant_a and_o separate_v from_o one_o another_o i_o appeal_v i_o say_v to_o any_o man_n of_o judgement_n alive_a whether_o this_o be_v not_o the_o great_a and_o more_o inexplicable_a difficulty_n of_o the_o two_o for_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n find_v a_o utter_a contradiction_n in_o make_v a_o finite_a be_v exist_v at_o on●e_n in_o two_o distant_a place_n or_o vbi_n but_o in_o the_o former_a though_o it_o find_v a_o insuperable_a difficulty_n yet_o it_o can_v allege_v no_o contradiction_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o high_a degree_n senseless_a and_o irrational_a to_o assign_v that_o as_o a_o explication_n of_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v more_o difficult_a perplex_a and_o inconceivable_a than_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o it_o pretend_v to_o explain_v which_o yet_o be_v the_o case_n here_o of_o a_o man_n and_o his_o live_a image_n as_o the_o notion_n of_o it_o have_v be_v state_v and_o apply_v to_o the_o present_a subject_n so_o that_o this_o wonderful_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o a_o clear_a idea_n of_o the_o trinity_n than_o ever_o the_o world_n have_v before_o have_v these_o three_o excellent_a qualification_n to_o recommend_v it_o 1._o that_o it_o suppose_v and_o build_v upon_o several_a thing_n utter_o contradictious_a and_o impossible_a 2._o that_o it_o make_v one_o thing_n the_o representation_n of_o another_o between_o which_o yet_o as_o to_o the_o very_a particular_n wherein_o the_o resemblance_n shall_v be_v there_o be_v the_o high_a and_o utmost_a disparity_n and_o three_o and_o last_o that_o it_o offer_v to_o explain_v a_o thing_n difficult_a

we_o with_o a_o non_fw-la obstante_fw-la to_o what_o have_v be_v say_v comply_v with_o this_o man_n be_v absurd_a notion_n so_o far_o as_o to_o allow_v his_o prototype_n and_o his_o live_a image_n to_o bear_v such_o a_o peculiar_a resemblance_n to_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o son_n as_o he_o pretend_v but_o can_v never_o prove_v they_o to_o do_v yet_o how_o do_v this_o any_o way_n explain_v or_o give_v we_o as_o he_o call_v it_o any_o idea_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o be_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n the_o trinity_n without_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o how_o do_v this_o prototype_n
