shall_v be_v equal_a or_o equivalent_a to_o the_o whole_a yet_o the_o modern_a realist_n the_o most_o hold_v this_o opinion_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ancient_n do_v but_o the_o more_o learned_a and_o

all-sufficient_a subsist_v person_n be_v not_o three_o god_n if_o they_o be_v equal_a in_o dignity_n and_o power_n as_o well_o as_o coeternal_a we_o can_v possible_o have_v no_o other_o notion_n of_o
