2_o the_o ready_a way_n by_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o may_v righty_a be_v apprehend_v 3_o how_o it_o may_v be_v attend_v in_o our_o saviour_n as_o god_n and_o man._n to_o the_o first_o the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a ground_n from_o whence_o this_o in-being_a proceed_v may_v be_v express_v in_o two_o conclusion_n thus_o 1._o this_o in-being_a of_o subsistence_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n &_o of_o the_o son_n in_o the_o father_n be_v not_o first_o from_o the_o essence_n or_o deity_n consider_v according_a to_o itself_o or_o in_o itself_o as_o some_o have_v conceive_v as_o thus_o because_o the_o deity_n or_o essence_n which_o be_v in_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n therefore_o the_o father_n also_o be_v in_o the_o son_n for_o this_o be_v neither_o safe_a nor_o sound_n but_o a_o dangerous_a mistake_n because_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v conclude_v that_o the_o son_n be_v in_o himself_o or_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o father_n for_o the_o same_o essence_n or_o deity_n be_v but_o one_o which_o be_v in_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n also_o and_o then_o the_o reason_n will_v follow_v on_o like_a manner_n thus_o where_o the_o deity_n or_o essence_n of_o the_o godhead_n which_o appertain_v to_o the_o son_n be_v there_o be_v the_o son_n but_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o son_n be_v in_o the_o son_n therefore_o the_o son_n be_v in_o the_o son_n 2._o this_o in-being_a each_o in_o other_o though_o it_o issue_v next_o and_o immediate_o from_o the_o person_n yet_o not_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o consider_v without_o respect_n to_o the_o essence_n but_o as_o they_o be_v subsistence_n in_o the_o same_o essence_n take_v that_o in_o with_o they_o to_o make_v up_o a_o full_a and_o complete_a ground_n from_o whence_o this_o mutual_a subsist_v in_o each_o other_o may_v be_v infer_v as_o thus_o 1._o not_o only_o because_o they_o have_v the_o same_o essence_n 2._o not_o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a person_n alone_o but_o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a person_n subsist_v in_o other_o for_o this_o mutual_a in-being_a require_v both_o distinction_n and_o conjunction_n they_o must_v be_v two_o for_o one_o can_v be_v in_o itself_o and_o they_o must_v be_v together_o with_o the_o same_o nature_n or_o else_o they_o can_v be_v each_o in_o other_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o creature_n constant_o as_o a_o father_n or_o son_n buyer_n and_o seller_n though_o they_o be_v person_n in_o relation_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v in_o several_a nature_n separate_a one_o from_o another_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v each_o in_o other_o thus_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o in-being_a 2._o the_o ready_a way_n how_o to_o apprehend_v it_o be_v make_v good_a in_o four_o particular_n 1._o the_o same_o essence_n of_o the_o godhead_n do_v equal_o and_o indifferent_o in_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v say_v of_o one_o may_v be_v affirm_v of_o the_o other_o they_o be_v all_o eternal_a all_o infinite_a all_o omnipotent_a omniscient_a etc._n etc._n because_o all_o god_n as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o teach_v himself_o and_o so_o be_v a_o master_n and_o scholar_n a_o master_n as_o he_o teach_v and_o a_o scholar_n as_o he_o be_v teach_v now_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v both_o not_o a_o part_n of_o he_o a_o scholar_n a_o part_n of_o he_o a_o teacher_n but_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n bear_v up_o both_o relation_n 2._o hence_o the_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n be_v distinct_a true_o among_o themselves_o yet_o can_v be_v separate_v or_o divide_v one_o from_o another_o but_o wherever_o the_o godhead_n be_v they_o be_v and_o wherever_o one_o be_v all_o be_v because_o the_o whole_a essence_n be_v in_o every_o one_o and_o every_o one_o with_o the_o whole_a essence_n 3._o subsistence_n of_o the_o person_n look_n at_o the_o essence_n yet_o not_o as_o it_o be_v essence_n bare_o but_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o relative_n property_n and_o so_o those_o relative_n property_n by_o their_o mutual_a respect_n or_o relation_n give_v be_v each_o to_o other_o 2._o subsistence_n look_v at_o the_o essence_n as_o essence_n and_o so_o they_o attend_v upon_o it_o adjoyn_v to_o it_o and_o do_v accompany_v it_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v the_o thing_n as_o the_o subsistence_n or_o person_n look_v at_o the_o essence_n as_o essence_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v attend_v and_o be_v adjoin_v so_o they_o be_v with_o the_o essence_n and_o one_o with_o another_o as_o they_o look_v at_o the_o essence_n not_o as_o essence_n but_o as_o with_o his_o relative_n property_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o relation_n and_o all_o thing_n under_o relation_n require_v they_o be_v then_o cause_v one_o of_o another_o give_v be_v each_o to_o other_o and_o be_v one_o in_o another_o a_o word_n to_o both_o 1._o as_o adjoin_v to_o the_o essence_n for_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o these_o relation_n be_v not_o quality_n inherent_a in_o the_o subject_n but_o attendant_n and_o then_o i_o say_v they_o be_v all_o with_o the_o same_o whole_a essence_n and_o so_o one_o with_o another_o so_o wisdom_n the_o lord_n christ_n prov._n 8.27_o when_o he_o prepare_v the_o heaven_n i_o be_v there_o when_o he_o give_v to_o the_o son_n his_o decree_n ver_fw-la 30._o i_o be_v with_o

1.1_o the_o word_n with_o god_n that_o be_v the_o father_n and_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v have_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o deity_n 2._o as_o the_o subsistence_n look_v at_o the_o essence_n with_o his_o relative_n property_n so_o in_o relation_n each_o person_n give_v be_v each_o to_o another_o and_o be_v one_o in_o another_o john_n 14.9_o the_o father_n dwell_v in_o christ_n that_o can_v in_o any_o propriety_n of_o speech_n be_v say_v of_o the_o essence_n that_o the_o person_n dwell_v in_o the_o godhead_n because_o they_o be_v relation_n and_o therefore_o no_o impression_n in_o the_o subject_n so_o hence_o our_o saviour_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n and_o come_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n hence_o he_o be_v say_v joh._n 10.15_o as_o the_o father_n know_v i_o even_o so_o i_o know_v the_o father_n which_o issue_n from_o this_o relation_n for_o it_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o relate_v because_o they_o be_v mutual_a cause_n one_o of_o another_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o other_o and_o this_o also_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o joh._n 10.30_o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o the_o jew_n they_o conceive_v he_o blaspheme_v because_o he_o make_v himself_o god_n verse_n 33._o our_o saviour_n defend_v himself_o thus_o say_v you_o of_o he_o who_o the_o father_n have_v send_v that_o he_o blaspheme_v because_o i_o say_v i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n verse_n 36._o and_o so_o the_o argument_n may_v well_o stand_v that_o they_o be_v one_o in_o relation_n and_o so_o one_o in_o another_o for_o have_v say_v that_o none_o shall_v pluck_v his_o sheep_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n he_o give_v this_o relation_n because_o the_o father_n who_o have_v give_v they_o he_o be_v great_a than_o all_o and_o none_o can_v pluck_v they_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n if_o none_o can_v puck_v they_o out_o of_o my_o father_n hand_n than_o not_o out_o of_o i_o if_o my_o father_n and_o i_o be_v one_o than_o it_o follow_v but_o we_o be_v one_o one_o in_o this_o reference_n and_o relation_n one_o to_o another_o and_o so_o in_o this_o action_n of_o send_v and_o be_v send_v both_o as_o one_o attend_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o work_n we_o here_o want_v example_n to_o illustrate_v because_o the_o creature_n can_v afford_v in_o propreity_n of_o speech_n one_o essence_n to_o relation_n yet_o a_o little_a to_o help_v take_v that_o which_o be_v familiar_a as_o my_o hand_n be_v close_v and_o close_v these_o two_o as_o they_o look_v to_o the_o hand_n be_v with_o it_o and_o with_o one_o another_o as_o they_o look_v to_o the_o hand_n close_v and_o so_o close_v close_v and_o close_v be_v cause_n each_o of_o other_o and_o one_o in_o another_o so_o in_o the_o deity_n these_o property_n of_o know_v and_o be_v know_v like_o close_v and_o be_v close_v with_o itself_o as_o they_o look_v at_o the_o essence_n or_o godhead_n they_o be_v with_o it_o and_o one_o with_o another_o 4._o this_o subsist_v each_o in_o other_o be_v not_o a_o individual_a relative_a porperty_n but_o a_o notional_a respect_n which_o attend_v all_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o person_n in_o common_a &_o therefore_o can_v make_v any_o distinct_a personality_n but_o appertain_v to_o all_o and_o be_v and_o may_v be_v affirm_v of_o all_o as_o relative_n give_v be_v each_o to_o other_o they_o abide_v each_o in_o other_o as_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n the_o father_n dwell_v in_o the_o son_n three_o thing_n for_o explication_n viz._n how_o this_o may_v be_v attend_v in_o our_o saviour_n as_o god_n and_o man_n for_o so_o he_o seem_v to_o speak_v of_o himself_o in_o this_o place_n in_o the_o several_a passage_n for_o so_o he_o be_v in_o the_o faithful_a so_o he_o receive_v glory_n and_o give_v glory_n verse_n 22._o so_o he_o be_v send_v verse_n 18._o in_o such_o mystery_n that_o we_o may_v be_v wise_a unto_o sobriety_n and_o yet_o not_o slorthful_a neither_o too_o curious_a to_o search_v

particular_o generally_n this_o in-being_a or_o subsistence_n in_o the_o father_n belong_v first_o to_o the_o son_n as_o second_o person_n and_o to_o the_o human_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o the_o relation_n of_o sonship_n leave_v some_o impression_n and_o so_o alteration_n thereupon_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o condition_n thereof_o so_o that_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o
