temple_n when_o they_o will_v adore_v god_n the_o east_n and_o temple_n serve_v for_o a_o determination_n of_o their_o action_n whereby_o their_o adoration_n be_v know_v to_o be_v to_o god_n so_o

especial_o of_o the_o same_o saint_n they_o m._n as_o for_o simple_a reverence_n it_o be_v a_o barbarousness_n and_o want_n of_o common_a sense_n to_o deny_v they_o that_o if_o you_o admit_v the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o if_o they_o be_v use_v for_o a_o religious_a end_n they_o be_v belong_v to_o god_n and_o holy_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v treat_v with_o respect_n try_v but_o any_o that_o

think_v sir_n i_o now_o begin_v to_o see_v some_o glimpse_n how_o the_o eternal_a son_n be_v beget_v of_o his_o father_n which_o before_o sound_v strange_o to_o i_o how_o he_o be_v god_n of_o god_n only_o beget_v the_o wisdom_n and_o image_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n and_o such_o like_a expression_n which_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o crred_n and_o prayer-book_n but_o never_o can_v frame_v any_o conceit_n of_o they_o which_o make_v my_o devotion_n very_o dull_a and_o dry_a but_o likewise_o still_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o nothing_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n m._n do_v you_o not_o tell_v i_o that_o thing_n a_o spirit_n have_v will_n as_o well_o as_o understanding_n or_o knowledge_n if_o then_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o the_o will_v be_v love_n and_o that_o you_o grant_v god_n love_v

as_o knowledge_n and_o thing_n know_v you_o will_v easy_o gather_v by_o a_o dsicourse_v love_n parallel_n to_o the_o former_a that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o god_n beside_o father_n and_o son_n a_o three_o that_o be_v love_n one_o in_o nature_n yet_o distinct_a in_o relation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n s._n i_o apprehend_v in_o some_o degree_n how_o the_o discourse_n go_v but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n m._n remember_v well_o that_o the_o also_o holy_a ghost_n be_v love_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v that_o whence_o love_n proceed_v in_o rational_a thing_n or_o that_o which_o rational_a thing_n love_v good_a s._n that_o which_o be_v their_o good_a m._n and_o what_o judge_v you_o to_o be_v the_o the_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n be_v it_o not_o truth_n s._n i_o think_v you_o mean_v by_o intellectual_a capable_a of_o know_v and_o truth_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a nothing_o be_v so_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o it_o as_o error_n for_o they_o who_o have_v this_o perfect_o know_v nothing_o wherefore_o this_o also_o truth_n must_v by_o consequence_n be_v the_o perfection_n and_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n m._n you_o answer_v learned_o but_o knowledge_n i_o fear_v it_o be_v only_o repeat_v by_o rote_n what_o i_o have_v so_o oft_o tell_v you_o well_o and_o in_o what_o consist_v truth_n be_v it_o not_o in_o this_o that_o the_o object_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n s._n i_o conceive_v so_o sir_n m._n

the_o good_a proper_a to_o he_o and_o consequent_o the_o source_n of_o divine_a love_n be_v that_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o object_n or_o son_n know_v be_v in_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o

be_v he_o call_v holy_a be_v not_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o holy_a as_o he_o m._n yes_o but_o you_o must_v conceive_v call_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o action_n be_v appropriate_v to_o each_o of_o those_o three_o and_o so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v holy_a so_o proper_a to_o teach_v we_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o that_o which_o be_v essential_o divine_a knowledge_n or_o the_o
