there_o be_v not_o a_o creature_n that_o generate_v another_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n but_o may_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o communicate_v its_o own_o nature_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o forego_v not_o its_o own_o individual_a nature_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o but_o by_o his_o leave_n every_o generate_a creature_n do_v part_n with_o some_o of_o its_o substance_n which_o he_o may_v call_v nature_n whereof_o the_o foetus_fw-la be_v form_v and_o which_o by_o accession_n of_o nourishment_n grow_v at_o length_n to_o be_v a_o nature_n or_o substance_n equal_a to_o its_o parent_n but_o in_o the_o divine_a generation_n the_o son_n and_o spirit_n have_v their_o whole_a being_n and_o nature_n from_o the_o father_n nature_n and_o not_o by_o accession_n from_o without_o but_o all_o at_o once_o and_o from_o all_o eternity_n so_o that_o for_o the_o father_n to_o communicate_v his_o nature_n to_o each_o of_o they_o who_o nature_n be_v equal_a to_o he_o will_v be_v double_o to_o annihilate_v himself_o for_o a_o nature_n to_o multiply_v its_o kind_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o defect_n and_o weakness_n in_o that_o kind_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o make_v it_o capable_a of_o propagate_a make_v it_o subject_a to_o corruption_n and_o dissolution_n because_o it_o suppose_v it_o divisible_a and_o subject_a to_o augmentation_n and_o diminution_n which_o being_n in_o their_o nature_n immortal_a be_v not_o and_o therefore_o what_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a than_o to_o argue_v from_o being_n that_n be_v divisible_a and_o for_o that_o reason_n alone_o capable_a of_o generation_n or_o emanation_n to_o being_n that_n be_v indivisible_a and_o consequent_o not_o capable_a of_o have_v emanation_n flow_v from_o their_o substance_n i_o know_v none_o in_o his_o

himself_o but_o that_o he_o act_v therein_o necessary_o as_o inanimate_a being_n do_v nay_o they_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a and_o most_o essential_a perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v most_o absurd_a as_o well_o as_o a_o most_o high_a affront_n to_o the_o sole_a infinite_a majesty_n of_o god_n and_o it_o carry_v this_o in_o it_o that_o it_o necessary_o infer_v not_o only_o a_o plurality_n but_o a_o infinity_o of_o god_n for_o if_o god_n do_v not_o constant_o and_o necessary_o multiply_v divine_a nature_n he_o have_v lose_v a_o perfection_n which_o they_o say_v be_v essential_a and_o necessary_a to_o his_o nature_n which_o change_n can_v happen_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n but_o if_o as_o the_o sun_n successive_o emit_v a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o new_a ray_n he_o do_v from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n produce_v new_a nature_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a in_o number_n but_o if_o he_o say_v god_n be_v eternal_o emane_v into_o existence_n the_o son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v eternal_o beget_v or_o emane_v into_o actual_a be_v that_o they_o never_o will_v be_v so_o though_o the_o father_n be_v in_o do_v it_o from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n by_o a_o continue_a successive_a generate_a but_o how_o can_v they_o that_o be_v as_o he_o say_v boundless_a and_o infinite_a from_o eternity_n be_v capable_a of_o any_o far_a production_n and_o every_o new_a or_o far_a production_n must_v be_v as_o infinite_a and_o boundless_a as_o each_o of_o they_o have_v thus_o full_o as_o i_o suppose_v show_v the_o impossibility_n of_o the_o father_n issue_v forth_o emanation_n from_o his_o own_o nature_n i_o shall_v be_v the_o short_a in_o my_o remark_n upon_o his_o answer_n i_o say_v sect._n 59_o upon_o supposition_n that_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v necessary_a emanation_n i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o owe_v their_o origin_n more_o to_o the_o father_n than_o the_o father_n to_o they_o since_o they_o be_v all_o three_o of_o a_o substance_n which_o be_v self-existent_a which_o be_v he_o say_v very_o surprise_v and_o as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o root_n no_o less_o owe_v its_o origin_n to_o the_o tree_n or_o the_o ray_n to_o the_o sun_n than_o vice_n versâ_fw-la as_o to_o his_o simile_n from_o the_o sun_n i_o have_v sufficient_o speak_v to_o it_o already_o as_o to_o that_o about_o the_o root_n and_o the_o tree_n it_o be_v evident_a not_o to_o mention_v that_o the_o tree_n can_v owe_v its_o origin_n to_o the_o root_n because_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o tree_n that_o the_o trunk_n and_o branch_n do_v not_o owe_v their_o origin_n to_o the_o root_n but_o be_v all_o visible_o in_o the_o seed_n which_o by_o nourishment_n receive_v from_o without_o do_v equal_o increase_v to_o their_o design_a bulk_n but_o to_o make_v it_o any_o way_n parallel_v suppose_v a_o self-existent_a root_n to_o emane_n necessary_o from_o itself_o without_o any_o new_a matter_n add_v to_o it_o two_o trunk_n each_o of_o which_o be_v as_o big_a as_o the_o emane_a root_n will_v not_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o three_o be_v self-existent_a since_o they_o be_v all_o three_o of_o the_o selfsame_a self-existent_a substance_n and_o consequent_o one_o can_v no_o more_o owe_v its_o origin_n to_o another_o than_o the_o selfsame_a substance_n can_v owe_v its_o origin_n to_o itself_o in_o the_o same_o section_n i_o say_v whatsoever_o substance_n proceed_v from_o another_o must_v first_o be_v in_o it_o except_o it_o can_v be_v in_o it_o and_o proceed_v from_o it_o at_o the_o same_o time_n upon_o which_o he_o ask_v whether_o the_o ray_n be_v not_o as_o old_a as_o the_o sun_n or_o whether_o all_o thought_n must_v be_v young_a than_o mind_n because_o they_o have_v their_o original_a from_o they_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o grant_v the_o ray_n be_v as_o old_a as_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v the_o same_o origin_n as_o the_o sun_n yet_o they_o can_v be_v in_o the_o sun_n and_o emane_n from_o it_o at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o to_o the_o second_o whether_o thought_n be_v young_a than_o mind_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n because_o we_o be_v discourse_v of_o substance_n and_o of_o substantial_a emanation_n which_o if_o he_o suppose_v thought_n to_o be_v how_o many_o substance_n will_v be_v create_v and_o annihilate_v in_o a_o minute_n but_o however_o to_o answer_v his_o question_n all_o thought_n must_v be_v young_a than_o mind_n because_o thought_n be_v operation_n of_o the_o mind_n in_o conceive_v and_o compare_v idea_n together_o consequent_o mind_n must_v be_v before_o thought_n but_o though_o all_o thought_n must_v be_v young_a than_o mind_n because_o they_o owe_v their_o origin_n to_o the_o mind_n as_o be_v mere_a operation_n of_o the_o mind_n yet_o the_o power_n or_o ability_n that_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o mind_n must_v be_v as_o

separation_n and_o difference_n be_v several_a thing_n i_o suppose_v most_o of_o the_o trinitarian_n think_v distinction_n and_o difference_n to_o be_v
