A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

to_o what_o thou_o have_v already_o declare_v and_o the_o remarkabl_a confusion_n therein_o contain_v i_o shall_v pitch_v my_o discourse_n upon_o which_o be_v neither_o confound_v the_o person_n nor_o

all_o eternal_a and_o yet_o not_o three_o but_o one_o eternal_a now_o let_v the_o wise_a headpiece_n of_o thy_o seed_n answer_v i_o from_o these_o word_n whether_o thou_o intend_v the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n be_v god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n as_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o person_n or_o their_o nature_n for_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o if_o thou_o believe_v they_o as_o

these_o three_o be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o substance_n yet_o they_o be_v divide_v so_o not_o one_o but_o real_o three_o distinct_a in_o each_o form_n the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o as_o thus_o here_o be_v three_o ⊙_o ⊙_o ⊙_o distinct_a in_o themselves_o yet_o one_o like_o another_o not_o only_o in_o form_n but_o nature_n also_o in_o that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o matter_n so_o can_v disagree_v though_o three_o yet_o let_v thy_o reason_n work_v which_o way_n it_o will_v thou_o can_v not_o make_v of_o these_o three_o one_o ⊙_o in_o which_o single_a face_n or_o person_n that_o entire_a nature_n that_o be_v unity_n in_o trinity_n must_v be_v comprehend_v and_o contain_v in_o one_o single_a person_n alone_o only_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o three_o title_n viz._n father_n in_o the_o creation_n the_o son_n in_o redemption_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o justification_n without_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v from_o my_o revelation_n i_o tell_v thou_o thy_o faith_n shall_v perish_v eternal_o reason_n i_o acknowledge_v every_o person_n by_o himself_o to_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o three_o god_n and_o three_o lord_n as_o thus_o the_o father_n be_v make_v of_o none_o neither_o create_v nor_o beget_v the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o beget_v but_o proceed_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o trinity_n none_o be_v afore_o nor_o

and_o the_o trinity_n in_o unity_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v he_o therefore_o that_o will_v be_v save_v must_v thus_o think_v of_o the_o trinity_n faith_n o_o senseless_a sot_n as_o be_v thy_o teacher_n so_o be_v thou_o as_o to_o imagine_v that_o one_o god_n shall_v have_v three_o person_n which_o be_v as_o unpossible_a as_o for_o a_o mortal_a king_n to_o have_v three_o person_n and_o but_o one_o king_n for_o this_o i_o know_v though_o a_o king_n by_o generation_n may_v beget_v a_o son_n yet_o that_o child_n be_v not_o a_o father_n but_o a_o son_n so_o not_o one_o but_o two_o neither_o be_v the_o son_n equal_a with_o the_o father_n though_o the_o next_o heir_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o however_o this_o by_o faith_n i_o know_v the_o son_n be_v the_o father_n neither_o make_v create_v

i_o say_v thou_o know_v not_o how_o the_o father_n come_v in_o be_v to_o be_v god_n much_o less_o then_o how_o this_o son_n be_v beget_v by_o the_o father_n for_o the_o word_n beget_v do_v imply_v
