seem_v self-evident_a that_o either_o the_o father_n only_o must_v be_v say_v to_o the_o true_o god_n because_o he_o only_o have_v omnimodous_a perfection_n and_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n or_o that_o there_o be_v one_o great_a god_n and_o two_o inferior_a or_o lesser_a one_o to_o this_o they_o that_o maintain_v the_o inequality_n of_o the_o three_o person_n answer_n by_o retort_v the_o argument_n thus_o if_o the_o divine_a person_n be_v equal_a then_o there_o be_v three_o omnipotents_a and_o three_o omniscient_o which_o be_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o three_o god_n and_o be_v deny_v in_o terminis_fw-la or_o express_o by_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n which_o say_v not_o three_o almighty_n but_o one_o almighty_a etc._n etc._n but_o be_v it_o ever_o hear_v since_o the_o creation_n of_o thing_n say_v the_o common_a enemy_n to_o both_o the_o nominal_n that_o two_o contend_v erroneous_a party_n do_v more_o effectual_o ruin_v one_o another_o common_a mistake_n for_o as_o it_o be_v self-evident_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a definition_n of_o god_n the_o notion_n that_o all_o man_n have_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o be_v omnimodous_o or_o absolute_o perfect_a therefore_o if_o the_o son_n or_o spirit_n want_v some_o perfection_n or_o some_o degree_n of_o perfection_n neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v god_n but_o the_o father_n only_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v noless_a incontestable_a that_o three_o distinct_a and_o real_o subsist_v person_n each_o of_o which_o possess_v all_o perfection_n and_o every_o degree_n of_o those_o perfection_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v three_o go_n why_o do_v not_o these_o unhappy_a man_n say_v the_o nominal_n see_v that_o three_o almighty_n and_o three_o omniscient_o be_v most_o certain_o three_o god_n and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o only_o one_o of_o they_o be_v internal_o and_o very_o almighty_a as_o well_o as_o superior_a in_o dignity_n to_o the_o other_o two_o he_o only_o be_v true_a god_n they_o be_v god_n only_o by_o courtesy_n and_o civility_n of_o speech_n do_v not_o the_o two_o contrary_a argument_n of_o these_o unlucky_a reasoner_n make_v a_o dilemma_n that_o overthrow_v their_o common_a foundation_n even_o this_o that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v subsist_v person_n have_v they_o not_o show_v we_o how_o to_o argue_v successful_o against_o they_o both_o for_o we_o learn_v from_o themselves_o to_o say_v either_o the_o imagine_v subsist_v person_n of_o their_o trinity_n be_v equal_a or_o not_o equal_a if_o equal_a they_o must_v be_v three_o god_n because_o nothing_o be_v want_v to_o any_o of_o they_o towards_o make_v he_o a_o perfect_a god_n if_o unequal_a only_o one_o of_o they_o be_v proper_o and_o true_o god_n the_o other_o two_o by_o civility_n and_o courtesy_n only_o they_o may_v be_v god_n to_o those_o that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o compliment_n but_o want_v some_o perfection_n or_o some_o degree_n of_o perfection_n neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v god_n in_o a_o theological_a or_o philosophical_a sense_n but_o the_o pleasure_n and_o sport_n of_o the_o nominal_n increase_v when_o the_o realist_n seek_v to_o extricate_v themselves_o from_o these_o nooze_n for_o example_n the_o realist_n that_o be_v for_o the_o equality_n say_v father_n son_n and_o spirit_n though_o omnimodous_o perfect_a and_o subsist_v person_n be_v one_o god_n by_o their_o mutual_a concord_n and_o agreement_n so_o also_o origen_n and_o other_o antenicenes_n make_v out_o the_o unity_n of_o god_n in_o a_o ternary_a of_o person_n though_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o equality_n to_o this_o the_o nominal_n answer_v the_o suppose_v divine_v subsist_v person_n be_v hereby_o love_a friend_n which_o be_v a_o good_a hear_v for_o shall_v three_z almighty_n fall_n out_o what_o will_v the_o world_n do_v but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o only_o distinct_a but_o subsist_v person_n they_o be_v as_o much_o three_o god_n in_o a_o proper_a and_o natural_a sense_n as_o if_o they_o be_v never_o so_o much_o at_o odds_o concord_n do_v not_o make_v a_o real_a or_o physical_a unity_n which_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o god_n but_o only_o a_o moral_a unity_n or_o such_o as_o be_v between_o friend_n or_o ally_n other_o realist_n almost_o all_o the_o modern_n see_v and_o confess_v this_o therefore_o they_o say_v their_o god_n be_v one_o because_o they_o be_v in_o one_o another_o but_o say_v the_o nominal_n god_n be_v in_o his_o creature_n more_o especial_o in_o the_o faithful_a and_o they_o in_o he_o as_o our_o saviour_n himself_o witness_n be_v they_o thereby_o all_o but_o one_o god_n be_v the_o creature_n deify_v by_o be_v in_o god_n and_o he_o in_o we_o no_o no_o say_v other_o but_o the_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v thus_o in_o one_o another_o have_v like_o substance_n nature_n and_o property_n which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n admirable_a again_o cry_v the_o nominal_n but_o remove_v this_o one_o scruple_n if_o these_o resemble_v god_n be_v so_o unite_v in_o their_o substance_n or_o so_o in_o one_o another_o that_o their_o substance_n be_v continuous_a like_o the_o part_n of_o the_o same_o angel_n or_o like_o the_o assignable_a part_v of_o the_o same_o divine_a person_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o such_o a_o union_n or_o mutual_a immeation_n of_o their_o part_n they_o be_v become_v but_o one_o subsist_v person_n in_o number_n which_o be_v what_o the_o nominal_n and_o socinian_n contend_v for_o but_o if_o they_o be_v only_o so_o unite_v or_o so_o in_o one_o another_o that_o their_o part_n be_v only_o contiguous_a like_a wine_n and_o oil_n shake_v together_o and_o yet_o never_a incorporate_n this_o be_v but_o only_a contact_n and_o juxta-position_n and_o do_v not_o make_v the_o three_o person_n to_o be_v one_o much_o less_o one_o god_n any_o more_o than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o a_o close_a crowd_n be_v one_o man_n or_o than_o the_o wine_n and_o oil_n before-said_a be_v one_o substance_n in_o a_o word_n say_v the_o nominal_n who_o see_v not_o that_o the_o three_o divine_a subsist_v person_n have_v like_o substance_n or_o property_n or_o what_o be_v all_o one_o like_o nature_n be_v but_o only_a god_n resemble_v one_o another_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o at_o out_o of_o one_o another_o like_v be_v never_o the_o same_o it_o be_v well_o but_o it_o may_v be_v they_o have_v better_a luck_n who_o say_v the_o divine_a person_n be_v not_o equal_a but_o the_o second_o and_o three_o be_v subordinate_a in_o authority_n and_o inferior_a in_o their_o perfection_n the_o objection_n against_o they_o be_v that_o hereby_o either_o the_o second_o and_o three_o person_n be_v neither_o of_o they_o god_n but_o only_o the_o first_o or_o here_o be_v one_o great_a god_n and_o two_o lesser_a they_o reply_v that_o as_o a_o father_n and_o his_o two_o son_n be_v one_o master_n of_o the_o family_n though_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o only_o secondary_o derivative_o and_o less_o absolute_o in_o the_o son_n so_o father_n son_n and_o h._n spirit_n be_v one_o god_n because_o the_o two_o latter_a though_o subject_a and_o inferior_a to_o the_o former_a have_v like_o authority_n and_o power_n with_o he_o for_o that_o he_o always_o concur_v with_o they_o but_o the_o nominal_n cry_v this_o be_v not_o one_o god_n in_o a_o physical_a or_o natural_a sense_n but_o only_o in_o a_o political_a and_o that_o the_o suppose_v father_n of_o the_o family_n and_o his_o two_o son_n may_v as_o well_o be_v say_v to_o be_v one_o man_n as_o one_o master_n for_o in_o very_a deed_n only_o the_o father_n be_v master_n though_o he_o delegate_n authority_n and_o power_n to_o his_o child_n during_o his_o pleasue_v or_o if_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v absolute_o and_o irrevocable_o confer_v on_o they_o they_o be_v as_o much_o master_n as_o he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o long_o one_o master_n but_o three_o second_o another_o argument_n of_o those_o that_o contend_v for_o the_o equality_n be_v if_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v unequal_a to_o the_o father_n and_o he_o only_o have_v omnifarious_a perfection_n with_o all_o degree_n of_o those_o perfection_n then_o the_o two_o former_a be_v very_o unnecessary_o superad_v to_o the_o latter_a he_o be_v perfect_a god_n without_o they_o they_o add_v nothing_o to_o he_o we_o can_v understand_v they_o but_o only_o as_o foil_n to_o set_v off_o and_o to_o recommend_v his_o perfection_n this_o reason_v also_o be_v retort_v by_o they_o that_o hold_v the_o inequality_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o suppose_v trinity_n for_o they_o reply_v if_o there_o be_v three_o equal_o perfect_a divine_a subsist_v person_n two_o of_o they_o be_v redundant_fw-la or_o more_o than_o needs_o if_o we_o suppose_v they_o say_v these_o gentleman_n unequal_a we_o leave_v but_o one_o god_n because_o the_o
