a_o eight_o letter_n concern_v the_o sacred_a trinity_n occasion_v by_o some_o letter_n to_o he_o on_o that_o subject_a by_o john_n wallis_n d._n d._n etc._n etc._n since_o my_o publish_n seven_o

that_o subject_a most_o by_o way_n of_o gratulation_n and_o approbation_n of_o what_o i_o have_v do_v and_o where_o some_o expression_n therein_o be_v not_o just_a the_o same_o with_o i_o they_o be_v

seem_v by_o a_o country_n gentleman_n not_o a_o profess_a divine_a who_o though_o he_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v much_o verse_v in_o school-divinity_n yet_o be_v i_o find_v not_o a_o stranger_n

to_o you_o i_o have_v be_v so_o fortunate_a to_o meet_v with_o your_o several_a letter_n in_o affirmance_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n etc._n etc._n and_o can_v but_o confess_v myself_o not_o only_o confirm_v but_o much_o enlarge_v in_o my_o notion_n about_o that_o doctrine_n by_o the_o so_o plain_a and_o press_a reason_n of_o your_o discourse_n but_o lest_o i_o shall_v seem_v fond_a of_o my_o own_o understanding_n and_o fancy_n to_o myself_o that_o i_o do_v comprehend_v more_o touch_v these_o matter_n than_o i_o indeed_o do_v i_o shall_v humble_o offer_v to_o you_o my_o method_n of_o thought_n and_o submit_v the_o same_o to_o your_o grave_a judgement_n and_o allowance_n the_o metaphysician_n i_o remember_v teach_v we_o that_o one_o way_n to_o know_v the_o deity_n be_v by_o way_n of_o eminency_n be_v there_o any_o good_a or_o perfection_n in_o the_o creature_n then_o say_v they_o god_n that_o be_v the_o great_a author_n and_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v so_o in_o a_o more_o eminent_a and_o high_a degree_n the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v competent_a to_o man_n who_o he_o make_v after_o his_o own_o image_n in_o some_o measure_n but_o in_o god_n they_o be_v in_o the_o high_a and_o superlative_a degree_n now_o beside_o these_o eminence_n and_o perfection_n in_o the_o deity_n there_o be_v three_o more_o particular_a and_o more_o transcendent_a eminence_n wherein_o and_o whereby_o god_n have_v manifest_v himself_o to_o and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n god_n almighty_n be_v please_v in_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o determine_v that_o mankind_n shall_v be_v rescue_v from_o that_o state_n of_o sin_n which_o the_o defection_n of_o our_o first_o father_n bring_v we_o into_o and_o be_v bring_v back_o into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o how_o he_o shall_v bring_v about_o and_o effect_v this_o great_a work_n be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o humane_a contemplation_n and_o can_v no_o otherwise_o be_v know_v than_o as_o god_n himself_o have_v be_v please_v to_o reveal_v and_o discover_v the_o same_o to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n now_o the_o scripture_n intimate_v to_o we_o three_o several_a manifestation_n of_o the_o deity_n in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o first_o be_v that_o of_o a_o father_n that_o god_n the_o father_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o create_v the_o world_n by_o his_o power_n and_o preserve_v it_o by_o his_o providence_n so_o love_v this_o world_n that_o he_o send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n to_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o mighty_a redeemer_n the_o second_o be_v that_o of_o a_o son_n that_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n undertake_v this_o great_a work_n of_o man_n redemption_n and_o to_o that_o purpose_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o become_v man_n a_o second_o adam_n who_o by_o his_o holy_a life_n and_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n do_v expiate_v and_o make_v atonement_n for_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o the_o three_o be_v that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o by_o his_o inward_a operation_n and_o gracious_a influence_n do_v incline_v and_o prevail_v with_o man_n to_o embrace_v the_o redemption_n purchase_v for_o he_o upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o in_o respect_n of_o these_o three_o several_a manifestation_n of_o the_o deity_n there_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o same_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o one_o of_o these_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o be_v call_v god_n the_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o another_o be_v call_v god_n the_o son_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o three_o be_v call_v god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o there_o be_v these_o three_o more_o eminent_a manifestation_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o under_o these_o denomination_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v most_o plain_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o great_a doubt_n be_v whether_o these_o be_v three_o personality_n in_o the_o deity_n and_o this_o doubt_n i_o take_v it_o arise_v from_o a_o misunderstanding_n and_o mistake_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la for_o this_o word_n persona_fw-la i_o think_v the_o philosopher_n be_v short_a in_o their_o definition_n of_o it_o boethius_n define_v it_o to_o be_v naturae_fw-la rationalis_fw-la individua_fw-la substantia_fw-la this_o other_o philosopher_n dislike_v as_o too_o scanty_a because_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o man_n only_o and_o do_v not_o include_v spiritual_a being_n and_o therefore_o they_o to_o enlarge_v it_o and_o make_v it_o more_o comprehensive_a call_v it_o substantia_fw-la particularis_fw-la intelligens_fw-la &_o incommunicabilis_fw-la etc._n etc._n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v but_o like_o boethius_n his_o definition_n best_o and_o think_v he_o so_o far_o in_o the_o right_n in_o that_o he_o make_v the_o word_n persona_fw-la only_o applicable_a to_o man_n for_o so_o doubtless_o it_o be_v in_o its_o true_a and_o proper_a signification_n and_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o spirit_n by_o a_o metalepsis_n only_o and_o transumption_n of_o the_o word_n and_o herein_o the_o philosopher_n be_v too_o short_a in_o their_o definition_n of_o persona_fw-la that_o while_o they_o do_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o word_n substance_n they_o forget_v that_o accident_n be_v a_o more_o necessary_a ingredient_n in_o its_o true_a definition_n the_o word_n persona_fw-la in_o relation_n to_o man_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v individuality_n and_o denote_v a_o particular_a or_o single_a man_n but_o it_o do_v imply_v those_o quality_n also_o whereby_o one_o man_n differ_v from_o another_o by_o the_o word_n quality_n she_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o single_a predicament_n so_o call_v but_o all_o the_o other_o predicament_n except_o that_o of_o substanee_n it_o be_v those_o whereby_o the_o naturae_fw-la rationalis_fw-la substantia_fw-la be_v individuate_v it_o be_v quantity_n that_o differ_v the_o person_n of_o tall_a stature_n from_o the_o low_a it_o be_v quality_n that_o differ_v the_o learned_a from_o the_o unlearned_a person_n it_o be_v relation_n that_o differ_v the_o father_n from_o the_o son_n it_o be_v the_o ubi_fw-la or_o locality_n that_o differ_v john_n of_o noke_n from_o john_n at_o style_n and_o so_o of_o the_o other_o predicament_n i_o will_v therefore_o propose_v the_o add_v a_o few_o word_n to_o boethius_n his_o definition_n and_o then_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v well_o enough_o let_v it_o then_o be_v thus_o viz._n persona_fw-la est_fw-la naturae_fw-la rationalis_fw-la individua_fw-la substantia_fw-la taliter_fw-la qualiter_fw-la ab_fw-la aliis_fw-la differens_fw-la thus_o define_v it_o relate_v to_o man_n only_o and_o so_o to_o one_o man_n as_o he_o differ_v from_o another_o by_o accidental_a individuation_n for_o though_v it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o person_n be_v a_o single_a substance_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o they_o be_v accident_n that_o do_v determine_v the_o personality_n and_o as_o the_o specific_a difference_n do_v constitute_v the_o species_n so_o predicamental_a accident_n do_v constitute_v the_o individual_a thus_o rationality_n do_v constitute_v the_o species_n of_o man_n and_o differ_v it_o from_o that_o of_o the_o brute_n and_o thus_o wisdom_n fortitude_n etc._n etc._n do_v differ_v this_o particular_a man_n from_o another_o and_o make_v he_o

define_v that_o be_v for_o somewhat_o analogous_n but_o not_o just_a the_o same_o with_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o when_o apply_v to_o man_n and_o particular_o not_o so_o distinct_a as_o to_o be_v three_o go_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n lest_o those_o who_o will_v have_v we_o so_o do_v shall_v then_o say_v we_o have_v part_v with_o the_o doctrine_n also_o they_o upon_o pretence_n that_o some_o expression_n in_o it_o though_o true_a be_v not_o absolute_o fundamental_a will_v fain_a wheedle_n we_o out_o of_o all_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o because_o some_o word_n may_v be_v spare_v in_o what_o we_o call_v the_o apostolic_a creed_n or_o nicene_n creed_n or_o some_o other_o word_n put_v in_o therefore_o those_o creed_n shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o also_o and_o when_o they_o quarrel_v with_o the_o preface_n of_o it_o whoever_o will_v be_v save_v aught_o to_o hold_v the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o the_o catholic_n faith_n be_v this_o as_o if_o it_o be_v intend_v thereby_o that_o every_o syllable_n in_o it_o be_v so_o fundamental_a as_o without_o know_v whereof_o a_o man_n can_v not_o be_v

into_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o if_o this_o be_v the_o first_o christian_n creed_n we_o be_v tell_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n

person_n these_o three_o and_o if_o by_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n we_o mean_v but_o these_o three_o then_o there_o be_v but_o three_o in_o the_o deity_n who_o we_o call_v person_n or_o who_o we_o
