infinite_a person_n and_o but_o one_o god_n ask_v they_o how_o can_v these_o thing_n be_v and_o what_o do_v you_o mean_v they_o answer_v our_o meaning_n only_o be_v god_n understand_v himself_o and_o will_v that_o be_v esteem_v and_o love_v himself_n this_o be_v a_o very_a mean_a and_o despicable_a sense_n to_o be_v couch_v in_o such_o mysterious_a and_o surprise_a term_n why_o do_v they_o affect_v to_o speak_v fantastical_o when_o they_o may_v speak_v sober_o and_o plain_o but_o we_o will_v easy_o forgive_v they_o the_o folly_n of_o their_o mystery_n if_o their_o hieroglyphic_n language_n be_v not_o as_o false_a and_o contradictory_n as_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o trifle_a for_o after_o they_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o by_o son_n and_o spirit_n they_o mean_v nothing_o but_o god_n knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o himself_o that_o the_o eternal_a generation_n so_o much_o talk_v of_o be_v only_o god_n conceive_v understand_a or_o apprehend_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o the_o procession_n which_o we_o be_v so_o careful_o to_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a generation_n be_v only_o the_o love_n which_o proceed_v from_o god_n towards_o himself_o after_o i_o say_v they_o have_v thus_o unriddle_v their_o mystery_n and_o of_o a_o mystery_n make_v it_o a_o very_a vulgar_a and_o ordinary_a piece_n of_o knowledge_n how_o absurd_a and_o monstrous_a be_v it_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o this_o reflex_n knowledge_n which_o god_n have_v of_o himself_o and_o his_o love_n or_o esteem_n of_o himself_o be_v person_n and_o spirit_n real_o distinct_a from_o he_o one_o while_o the_o second_o and_o three_o person_n so_o call_v be_v only_o god_n know_v himself_o and_o love_v himself_o that_o be_v they_o be_v only_o two_o act_n of_o his_o understanding_n and_o will._n at_o the_o next_o turn_n these_o two_o act_n god_n apprehend_v himself_o and_o esteem_v himself_o be_v metamorphose_v into_o two_o several_a spirit_n and_o person_n whereof_o one_o you_o must_v call_v the_o son_n and_o the_o other_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o one_o you_o must_v say_v on_o pain_n of_o damnation_n he_o be_v conceive_v generate_v or_o beget_v of_o the_o other_o you_o must_v believe_v and_o say_v under_o the_o same_o penalty_n he_o proceed_v i_o say_v now_o this_o be_v egyptian_a all_o over_o it_o be_v the_o very_a genius_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o old_a mystical_a hieroglyphic_n that_o be_v to_o say_v partly_o foolish_a and_o partly_o false_a and_o to_o prove_v it_o i_o need_v go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o understanding_n and_o conscience_n of_o all_o reasonable_a man_n or_o even_o of_o every_o individual_a man_n who_o have_v not_o as_o much_o give_v up_o his_o reason_n to_o mother_n church_n as_o the_o good_a man_n who_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o eye_n against_o his_o dear_a wife_n have_v give_v up_o to_o she_o his_o sense_n to_o tell_v man_n that_o to_o apprehend_v one_o self_n be_v a_o person_n and_o to_o love_v one_o self_n be_v another_o person_n and_o spirit_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o ridicule_n religion_n and_o to_o scare_v from_o it_o all_o man_n of_o free_a sense_n i_o know_v not_o why_o the_o profane_a wit_n be_v esteem_v a_o atheist_n for_o his_o say_n god_n by_o his_o almighty_a power_n can_v turn_v a_o tree_n into_o a_o syllogism_n more_o than_o such_o may_v be_v just_o suspect_v of_o atheism_n who_o say_v a_o action_n of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n be_v a_o infinite_a and_o almighty_a person_n who_o under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n we_o must_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o again_o a_o action_n of_o the_o divine_a will_n be_v another_o such_o person_n and_o he_o we_o must_v name_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o wit_n only_o turn_v a_o substance_n into_o a_o thought_n and_o trinitarian_n turn_v thought_n into_o substance_n and_o person_n do_v they_o allege_v for_o these_o mystery_n but_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o reason_n or_o revelation_n we_o will_v hold_v our_o tongue_n but_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v such_o thing_n without_o any_o pretence_n of_o revelation_n and_o contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n this_o i_o think_v be_v what_o we_o owe_v to_o no_o sort_n of_o man_n of_o what_o colour_n soever_o they_o die_v their_o coat_n for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o think_v of_o these_o whether_o dotage_n or_o imposture_n without_o such_o a_o inclination_n as_o i_o very_o hardly_o resist_v of_o apply_v to_o our_o athanasian_n doctor_n what_o cato_n say_v of_o the_o roman_a augur_n and_o aurispice_n i_o wonder_v say_v cato_n that_o a_o augur_n or_o aruspex_fw-la can_v meet_v another_o of_o the_o same_o profession_n without_o their_o laugh_v in_o one_o another_o face_n he_o know_v their_o pretend_v learning_n and_o discipline_n be_v the_o religion_n establish_v by_o law_n warrant_v by_o custom_n and_o prescription_n and_o authorize_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o nation_n for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o cheat_n so_o gross_a and_o palpable_a that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o admire_v that_o the_o augur_n be_v such_o stark_a fool_n or_o such_o perfect_a knave_n that_o meeting_n they_o can_v carry_v a_o grave_n look_v upon_o one_o another_o of_o the_o creation_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n the_o before-described_n trinity_n create_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n divide_v the_o work_n among_o they_o each_o of_o they_o take_v a_o part._n nor_o can_v every_o one_o of_o they_o create_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v create_v but_o once_o but_o according_a to_o that_o oeconomy_n as_o divine_n speak_v that_o be_v the_o domestic_a order_n or_o houshold-government_n that_o be_v between_o the_o three_o person_n it_o must_v be_v say_v and_o hold_v that_o the_o father_n be_v most_o proper_o the_o creator_n the_o son_n the_o redeemer_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o sanctifier_n of_o all_o person_n and_o thing_n so_o that_o when_o we_o say_v the_o trinity_n create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n this_o be_v thereby_o intend_a the_o father_n create_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o son_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o note_n the_o father_n create_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o son_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o wish_v the_o sage_n of_o the_o party_n have_v think_v fit_a plain_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o mean_v by_o such_o a_o odd_a way_n of_o express_v themselves_o but_o they_o have_v long_o since_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o all_o their_o care_n be_v to_o get_v word_n and_o for_o mean_v they_o never_o think_v of_o it_o but_o the_o father_n it_o seem_v be_v the_o creator_n nay_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v proper_o the_o creator_n but_o then_o it_o be_v by_o the_o son_n and_o through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o father_n be_v not_o the_o creator_n much_o less_o be_v he_o proper_o the_o creator_n but_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o two_o be_v joint_o creator_n for_o if_o the_o father_n create_v the_o world_n by_o the_o son_n and_o through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n then_o the_o father_n himself_o have_v no_o immediate_a efficiency_n or_o hand_n in_o the_o work_n but_o only_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n these_o be_v the_o true_a creator_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o thing_n and_o beside_o that_o the_o old_a difficulty_n return_v namely_o that_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n divide_v the_o work_n between_o they_o each_z taking_z his_o part_n or_o the_o same_o thing_n must_v be_v create_v twice_o i_o know_v not_o how_o better_a to_o explain_v their_o notion_n of_o the_o father_n being_n most_o proper_o the_o creator_n than_o by_o say_v he_o be_v just_a so_o according_a to_o they_o the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n as_o king_n charles_n i._o build_v the_o royal_a sovereign_n or_o be_v the_o builder_n of_o the_o royal_a sovereign_n for_o we_o say_v that_o king_n build_v the_o royal_a sovereign_n by_o the_o master-builder_n through_o the_o ship-carpenter_n that_o be_v he_o build_v it_o not_o he_o only_o order_v it_o to_o be_v build_v the_o master-shipwright_n or_o master-builder_n and_o the_o ship-carpenter_n be_v the_o builder_n but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o be_v strange_o mislead_v by_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o instruct_v we_o to_o say_v that_o the_o almighty_a father_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o be_v whole_o silent_a of_o the_o great_a mystery_n that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o son_n and_o through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v yet_o worse_o impose_v on_o we_o by_o a_o unheard-of_a solecism_n and_o impropriety_n while_o they_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o or_o three_o pretend_v create_v person_n by_o the_o singular_a pronoun_n i_o he_o thou_o him_n which_o in_o no_o language_n be_v use_v but_o only_o of_o one_o singular_a and_o particular_a
