rigour_n as_o divine_o reveal_v truth_n the_o anti-trinitarian_a system_n be_v not_o at_o all_o suit_v to_o my_o genius_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o stretch_v our_o trinitarian_n doctrine_n so_o far_o as_o to_o set_v it_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o from_o reason_n secret_n thing_n belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n but_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v belong_v to_o we_o and_o our_o child_n deut._n 29._o 29._o and_o the_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v think_v we_o as_o foolish_a and_o ridiculous_a for_o pursue_v these_o notion_n as_o we_o think_v ourselves_o wise_a and_o learned_a in_o such_o pursuit_n i_o be_o sir_n with_o all_o sincerity_n your_o most_o humble_a servant_n w._n i._n to_o this_o letter_n i_o reply_v as_o follow_v to_o the_o reverend_n w._n j._n sir_n i_o be_o oblige_v to_o you_o for_o the_o kind_a and_o respectful_a character_n which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o afford_v i_o in_o both_o your_o letter_n i_o be_o not_o at_o all_o displease_v but_o thank_v you_o for_o it_o with_o a_o like_a moderation_n in_o you_o to_o what_o you_o commend_v in_o my_o letter_n as_o to_o the_o mysterious_a truth_n concern_v the_o sacred_a trinity_n and_o do_v full_o close_v with_o what_o you_o say_v in_o the_o conclusion_n that_o the_o angel_n may_v think_v we_o as_o foolish_a and_o ridiculous_a for_o pursue_v these_o notion_n further_o than_o they_o be_v reveal_v as_o we_o think_v ourselves_o wise_a and_o learned_a in_o such_o pursuit_n like_a as_o you_o or_o i_o shall_v laugh_v at_o a_o blind_a man_n who_o have_v never_o see_v that_o shall_v undertake_v to_o conceive_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o express_v to_o we_o in_o word_n a_o distinct_a and_o perfect_a notion_n or_o idea_n of_o sight_n light_n and_o colour_n he_o may_v hear_v the_o noise_n or_o sound_n of_o those_o three_o word_n suppose_v he_o though_o blind_a not_o to_o be_v deaf_a also_o and_o may_v believe_v that_o they_o signify_v somewhat_o but_o what_o that_o somewhat_o be_v he_o can_v tell_v have_v never_o have_v a_o idea_n thereof_o in_o his_o mind_n nor_o a_o perception_n thereof_o by_o his_o sense_n and_o if_o you_o or_o i_o from_o that_o notion_n which_o ourselves_o have_v of_o it_o will_v explain_v it_o to_o he_o we_o can_v do_v it_o no_o otherwise_o than_o by_o the_o use_n of_o such_o word_n in_o a_o sense_n analogical_a as_o do_v proper_o belong_v to_o somewhat_o of_o which_o he_o have_v from_o experience_n some_o idea_n sight_n we_o may_v say_v be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o sense_n or_o feel_v in_o our_o eye_n which_o we_o have_v not_o in_o our_o hand_n foot_n or_o other_o part_n of_o our_o body_n whereby_o we_o can_v as_o it_o be_v feel_v with_o our_o eye_n the_o shape_n figure_n bigness_n and_o proportion_n of_o a_o body_n at_o a_o distance_n as_o we_o may_v with_o our_o hand_n if_o within_o our_o reach_n whereby_o he_o may_v apprehend_v that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o resemblance_n between_o see_v and_o feel_v but_o what_o indeed_o it_o be_v to_o see_v he_o can_v comprehend_v light_n we_o may_v tell_v he_o be_v a_o necessary_a requisite_a to_o such_o a_o feel_n with_o our_o eye_n as_o that_o for_o want_n of_o it_o which_o want_v we_o call_v darkness_n we_o can_v no_o more_o so_o feel_v or_o discover_v by_o our_o eye_n such_o shape_n figure_n or_o bigness_n than_o we_o can_v with_o our_o hand_n that_o suppose_v of_o a_o piece_n of_o money_n lock_v up_o in_o a_o box_n which_o we_o can_v not_o open_a but_o by_o the_o admission_n of_o such_o requisite_a we_o be_v enable_v so_o to_o feel_v it_o with_o our_o eye_n as_o we_o may_v with_o our_o hand_n if_o the_o box_n be_v open_v whereby_o we_o may_v come_v to_o handle_v it_o colour_n we_o may_v tell_v he_o be_v somewhat_o of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o that_o on_o a_o plain_a board_n or_o the_o like_a on_o which_o by_o our_o hand_n we_o can_v feel_v nothing_o but_o smooth_a and_o uniform_a by_o it_o may_v be_v represent_v to_o be_v so_o feel_v with_o our_o eye_n as_o great_a variety_n of_o shape_v and_o figure_n suppose_v of_o a_o horse_n a_o bird_n a_o ship_n a_o house_n or_o any_o shape_n whatever_o as_o by_o our_o hand_n we_o may_v if_o we_o have_v such_o shape_v form_v in_o wood_n or_o stone_n and_o the_o different_a motion_n of_o such_o but_o after_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o this_o blind_a man_n to_o have_v that_o idea_n or_o notion_n in_o his_o fancy_n of_o sight_n light_n and_o colour_n which_o we_o have_v who_o see_n and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o impossible_a for_o we_o who_o have_v no_o notion_n in_o our_o mind_n other_o than_o what_o we_o derive_v mediate_o or_o immediate_o from_o sensible_a impression_n of_o finite_a corporeal_a being_n to_o have_v a_o clear_a and_o perfect_a notion_n of_o the_o nature_n unity_n distinction_n or_o attribute_n of_o a_o infinite_a spiritual_n be_v or_o otherwise_o to_o express_v they_o than_o by_o some_o imperfect_a analogy_n or_o resemblance_n with_o thing_n we_o be_v conversant_a with_o and_o by_o word_n in_o a_o borrow_a sense_n from_o such_o i_o do_v therefore_o full_o agree_v with_o you_o in_o your_o two_o conclusion_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o prudent_a to_o keep_v close_o to_o scripture_n in_o these_o mysterious_a doctrine_n since_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o they_o otherwise_o than_o as_o there_o reveal_v and_o not_o to_o impose_v consequence_n of_o humane_a deduction_n with_o the_o like_a rigour_n as_o divinely-revealed_n truth_n for_o even_o in_o common_a affair_n when_o thing_n be_v represent_v only_o by_o the_o analogy_n or_o resemblance_n which_o they_o bear_v to_o some_o other_o thing_n it_o be_v seldom_o that_o the_o similitude_n be_v so_o absolute_a between_o they_o but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o dissimilitude_n likewise_o much_o more_o when_o the_o distance_n be_v so_o great_a as_o between_o finite_a corporeal_a being_n and_o what_o be_v infinite_a and_o incorporeal_a so_o that_o we_o can_v always_o argue_v cogent_o from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o word_n nature_n essence_n unity_n distinction_n father_n son_n person_n beget_v proceed_v and_o the_o like_a when_o apply_v to_o god_n in_o a_o borrow_a sense_n from_o what_o they_o proper_o signify_v as_o apply_v to_o creature_n must_v not_o be_v suppose_v to_o signify_v just_a the_o same_o but_o somewhat_o analogous_a to_o that_o of_o their_o primary_n signification_n nor_o consequence_n thence_o to_o be_v deduce_v with_o the_o same_o rigour_n it_o will_v be_v mere_a cavil_v for_o any_o to_o argue_v that_o because_o knowledge_n and_o strength_n be_v separable_a in_o man_n therefore_o what_o in_o god_n we_o call_v by_o those_o name_n be_v so_o in_o god_n and_o that_o consequent_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o the_o alwise_a god_n not_o to_o be_v almighty_a or_o the_o almighty_a god_n not_o to_o be_v alwise_a so_o if_o we_o shall_v argue_v from_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o locality_n or_o duration_n to_o god_n vbiquity_n without_o extension_n and_o his_o eternity_n without_o succession_n the_o inference_n must_v needs_o be_v lame_a and_o inconsequent_a with_o other_o inference_n of_o like_a nature_n and_o even_o without_o proceed_v to_o infinite_n if_o we_o suppose_v a_o spirit_n or_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v void_a of_o part_n and_o local_a extension_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o phrase_n be_v tota_fw-la in_fw-la toto_fw-la &_o tota_fw-la in_o qualibet_fw-la parte_fw-la of_o that_o space_n or_o matter_n to_o which_o it_o be_v compresent_v and_o shall_v yet_o argue_v as_o you_o do_v in_o a_o like_a case_n if_o one_o single_a spirit_n be_v compresent_v with_o three_o or_o more_o really-distinct_a part_n of_o space_n or_o matter_n we_o must_v divide_v or_o multiply_v it_o either_o each_o of_o these_o extensive_a part_n must_v have_v a_o piece_n of_o that_o spirit_n and_o than_o you_o divide_v it_o or_o each_o must_v have_v the_o whole_a and_o there_o be_v but_o one_o whole_o you_o can_v give_v it_o to_o each_o without_o multiply_v it_o such_o inference_n upon_o such_o a_o supposition_n which_o supposition_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o think_v impossible_a must_v needs_o be_v lame_a yet_o such_o be_v common_o the_o cavil_n of_o those_o who_o study_v to_o pick_v quarrel_n with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o deliver_v in_o scripture_n and_o in_o particular_a though_o among_o man_n three_o person_n be_v sometime_o not_o always_o so_o use_v as_o to_o import_v three_o man_n we_o may_v not_o thence_o conclude_v that_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n must_v needs_o imply_v three_o go_n or_o if_o the_o word_n person_n do_v not_o please_v though_o i_o think_v it_o a_o fit_a word_n in_o the_o case_n we_o can_v spare_v the_o word_n without_o prejudice_n to_o the_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v the_o notion_n
