that_o three_o such_o person_n be_v not_o numerical_o one_o he_o add_v let_v any_o man_n who_o can_v give_v i_o any_o other_o notion_n of_o the_o numerical_a oneness_n of_o a_o infinite_a mind_n but_o self-consciousness_n thus_o this_o learned_a person_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o the_o numerical_a oneness_n of_o spirit_n can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o as_o this_o learned_a author_n say_v it_o be_v every_o spirit_n unity_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v oneness_n with_o itself_o and_o its_o distinct_a and_o separate_a subsistence_n from_o all_o other_o create_v spirit_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o oneness_n of_o spirit_n only_o but_o of_o every_o thing_n else_o that_o be_v one_o for_o as_o omne_fw-la ens_fw-la est_fw-la unum_fw-la so_o unum_fw-la est_fw-la quod_fw-la

can_v say_v far_o of_o it_o as_o he_o have_v that_o it_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o self-consciousness_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n as_o he_o unfold_v it_o i_o say_v as_o he_o unfold_v it_o for_o else_o take_v self-consciousness_n for_o a_o spirit_n self-being_a so_o i_o take_v it_o the_o numerical_a oneness_n of_o a_o spirit_n be_v nothing_o but_o its_o self-consciousness_n for_o then_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o a_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o cogitative_a be_v be_v itself_o and_o not_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o take_v consciousness_n as_o he_o do_v for_o a_o spirit_n be_v sensible_a of_o its_o own_o action_n and_o passion_n so_o its_o numerical_a oneness_n can_v be_v its_o self-consciousness_n for_o as_o a_o be_v and_o even_o a_o cogitative_a be_v as_o a_o be_v must_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v before_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v to_o act_n so_o again_o it_o must_v be_v conceive_v to_o act_v that_o be_v to_o think_v to_o

it_o become_v conscious_a of_o its_o act_n in_o that_o precedent_a moment_n which_o speak_v order_n not_o duration_n it_o must_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v one_o with_o itself_o and_o numerical_o different_a from_o every_o thing_n beside_o and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v so_o can_v arise_v from_o self-consciousness_n or_o its_o be_v conscious_a of_o its_o own_o act_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v as_o in_o the_o author_n supposal_n three_o create_v spirit_n that_o be_v as_o conscious_a to_o each_o other_o thought_n and_o passion_n as_o each_o of_o they_o unto_o his_o own_o there_o will_v yet_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v say_v as_o he_o say_v we_o must_v that_o three_o such_o person_n will_v be_v numerical_o one_o for_o if_o they_o be_v how_o can_v they_o be_v three_o since_o the_o number_n three_o be_v not_o the_o number_n one_o and_o they_o can_v be_v three_o in_o number_n if_o they_o be_v but_o one_o in_o number_n to_o be_v three_o be_v to_o be_v more_o

in_o fine_a if_o person_n by_o be_v so_o intimate_v to_o one_o another_o do_v become_v numerical_o one_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o that_o by_o this_o reason_n god_n who_o be_v as_o conscious_a to_o

must_v be_v numerical_o one_o with_o they_o all_o but_o perhaps_o the_o doctor_n will_v tell_v i_o that_o he_o affirm_v the_o three_o eternal_a mind_n for_o so_o he_o call_v they_o be_v numerical_o one_o god_n not_o one_o person_n three_o person_n one_o god_n but_o than_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v of_o he_o since_o three_o be_v thrice_o one_o what_o that_o be_v that_o make_v each_o person_n

and_o particular_a not_o to_o insist_v that_o to_o be_v a_o eternal_a mind_n be_v the_o true_a idea_n or_o notion_n of_o god_n and_o then_o if_o there_o be_v as_o he_o own_v there_o be_v three_o

that_o these_o three_o three_z eternal_a mind_n real_o distinct_a from_o one_o another_o be_v not_o three_o god_n as_o well_o as_o three_o person_n so_o that_o methinks_v the_o knot_n remain_v untie_v
