according_a to_o augustin_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n for_o the_o main_a reason_n why_o he_o think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o

that_o it_o can_v have_v little_a or_o no_o weight_n but_o again_o the_o argument_n be_v false_a and_o ridiculous_a on_o this_o account_n that_o the_o quaker_n make_v every_o father_n the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v absurd_a enough_o for_o as_o a_o father_n be_v the_o father_n of_o another_o and_o yet_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o another_o so_o god_n the_o
