A48160	A letter to a friend concerning a postscript to the Defense of Dr. Sherlock's notion of the Trinity in unity, relating to the Calm and sober enquiry upon the same subject	Howe, John, 1630-1705.	1694 (1694)	Wing L1639; ESTC R3143	19,814	66

neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o infinite_a i_o will_v rather_o have_v say_v none_o or_o no_o one_o than_o neither_o since_o the_o discourse_n be_v of_o more_o than_o two_o i_o think_v the_o meaning_n of_o uter_fw-la and_o neuter_n have_v be_v agree_v long_o ago_o though_o we_o can_v suppose_v their_o union_n to_o make_v such_o a_o perfect_a be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o and_o neither_o no_o one_o of_o they_o be_v the_o whole_a etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o ever_o come_v under_o my_o notice_n among_o the_o schoolman_n that_o have_v any_o appear_a strength_n in_o it_o against_o the_o hypothesis_n which_o i_o have_v propose_v as_o possible_a for_o aught_o i_o know_v they_o general_o dispute_v against_o many_o sort_n of_o composition_n in_o the_o be_v of_o god_n which_o i_o be_o not_o concern_v in_o that_o of_o matter_n and_o form_n which_o be_v alien_a from_o this_o affair_n of_o quantitative_a part_n which_o be_v as_o alien_n of_o subject_n and_o accident_n which_o touch_v we_o not_o of_o act_n and_o power_n which_o do_v it_o as_o little_a each_o subsistent_n be_v eternal_o in_o utmost_a actuality_n and_o by_o sundry_a sort_n and_o method_n of_o argument_n whereof_o only_o this_o can_v seem_v to_o signify_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o present_a supposition_n and_o it_o whole_o resolve_v into_o the_o notion_n of_o infinity_o about_o which_o i_o general_o speak_v my_o sense_n in_o that_o first_o letter_n to_o dr._n wallis_n 122.123_o and_o as_o i_o there_o intimate_v how_o much_o easy_o it_o be_v to_o puzzle_v another_o upon_o that_o subject_n than_o to_o satisfy_v one self_o so_o i_o here_o say_v that_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o give_v any_o man_n as_o much_o trouble_n about_o it_o in_o respect_n of_o quantitative_a extension_n as_o he_o can_v i_o in_o this_o i_o think_v it_o demonstrable_a that_o one_o infinite_a can_v never_o be_v from_o another_o by_o voluntary_a production_n that_o it_o can_v by_o necessary_a emanation_n i_o think_v not_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n when_o we_o be_v tell_v so_o plain_o by_o the_o divine_a oracle_n of_o a_o sacred_a three_o that_o be_v each_o of_o they_o god_n and_o of_o some_o one_o whereof_o some_o thing_n be_v speak_v that_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v of_o the_o other_o i_o think_v it_o easy_a to_o count_v three_o than_o to_o determine_v of_o infiniteness_n and_o according_o to_o form_v one_o belief_n but_o of_o this_o more_o when_o we_o come_v to_o compare_v he_o with_o himself_o and_o for_o what_o he_o discourse_v of_o the_o aspect_n this_o supposition_n have_v upon_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o homo-ousion_a 110._o it_o all_o proceed_v still_o upon_o his_o own_o fiction_n of_o part_n and_o upon_o the_o invidious_a strain_n of_o that_o similitude_n of_o the_o union_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o he_o himself_o do_v tantum_fw-la non_fw-la confess_v except_o that_o he_o lessen_v it_o by_o say_v most_o untrue_o that_o he_o the_o enquirer_n do_v express_o own_o the_o consequence_n therefore_o if_o he_o do_v not_o own_o the_o consequence_n than_o the_o defender_n confess_v himself_o to_o have_v invidious_o devise_v it_o and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o if_o all_o three_o by_o this_o composition_n be_v but_o one_o god_n neither_o of_o they_o by_o himself_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n the_o divinity_n be_v like_o the_o english_a but_o both_o his_o own_o the_o enquirer_n deny_v both_o antecedent_n which_o he_o know_v and_o consequent_a too_o leave_v out_o by_o this_o composition_n his_o own_o figment_n and_o his_o argument_n as_o much_o disprove_v any_o trinity_n at_o all_o as_o it_o do_v the_o present_a hypothesis_n but_o wherein_o do_v the_o enquirer_n own_v it_o because_o such_o a_o similitude_n be_v use_v as_o it_o be_v often_o in_o that_o discourse_n of_o the_o union_n between_o soul_n and_o body_n declare_v elsewhere_o to_o be_v unexpressible_o defective_a that_o therefore_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v each_o of_o they_o by_o himself_o no_o more_o true_o lord_n or_o god_n according_a to_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n or_o otherwise_o than_o in_o as_o improper_a a_o sense_n as_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n exclude_v the_o soul_n be_v a_o man_n or_o a_o humane_a person_n or_o as_o if_o deity_n be_v no_o more_o in_o one_o of_o the_o person_n than_o humanity_n in_o a_o carcase_n who_o that_o look_v upon_o all_o this_o with_o equal_a eye_n but_o will_v rather_o choose_v as_o doubtful_a a_o notion_n than_o so_o apparent_o ill_a a_o spirit_n be_v similitude_n ever_o wont_a to_o be_v alike_o throughout_o to_o what_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o illustrate_v it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v say_v because_o he_o mention_n with_o approbation_n such_o as_o
