whether_o its_o act_n be_v as_o be_v common_o believe_v one_o with_o the_o essence_n or_o distinct_a from_o it_o this_o essence_n have_v necessary_a existence_n in_o its_o first_o conception_n those_o

by_o the_o same_o necessity_n by_o which_o god_n exist_v for_o if_o the_o immanent_a act_n of_o god_n be_v one_o with_o his_o essence_n then_o since_o all_o the_o transient_a act_n do_v certain_o follow_v his_o immanent_a one_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a necessity_n equal_o spread_v over_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o nature_n and_o god_n can_v do_v nothing_o otherwise_o than_o he_o do_v but_o if_o those_o act_n of_o god_n be_v different_a from_o his_o essence_n and_o distinct_a from_o it_o such_o as_o our_o thought_n be_v then_o here_o be_v accident_n in_o god_n and_o a_o succession_n of_o thought_n which_o seem_v inconsistent_a with_o infinite_a perfection_n that_o be_v all_o one_o eternal_a and_o unchangeable_a act._n here_o be_v a_o difficulty_n that_o perhaps_o few_o reflect_v on_o but_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o great_a and_o as_o unaccountable_a as_o any_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o reveal_v religion_n can_v be_v pretend_v to_o be_v though_o this_o arise_v out_o of_o natural_a religion_n if_o to_o this_o we_o add_v all_o that_o we_o be_v believe_v concern_v the_o attribute_n of_o god_n his_o be_v every_o where_o his_o know_v every_o thing_n his_o providence_n in_o govern_v all_o thing_n together_o with_o those_o unsearchable_a method_n in_o which_o it_o exert_v itself_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o a_o light_n to_o which_o we_o can_v approach_v but_o that_o as_o the_o present_a frame_n of_o our_o body_n and_o structure_n of_o our_o eye_n can_v bear_v the_o look_v steadfast_o on_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o be_v bring_v much_o near_o he_o of_o which_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v capable_a in_o another_o texture_n of_o our_o eye_n and_o body_n so_o in_o this_o state_n in_o which_o we_o have_v narrow_a notion_n and_o gross_a imagination_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o frame_v distinct_a idea_n even_o of_o those_o attribute_n of_o god_n of_o which_o we_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o yet_o we_o find_v such_o difficulty_n in_o apprehend_v they_o that_o they_o do_v blind_a and_o confound_v we_o and_o put_v we_o to_o a_o stand_n in_o all_o our_o think_n about_o they_o but_o for_o all_o that_o we_o still_o go_v on_o believe_v firm_o those_o his_o attribute_n in_o fine_a we_o be_v to_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o those_o plain_a perception_n we_o have_v either_o of_o the_o object_n of_o sense_n or_o of_o simple_a theory_n and_o the_o difficulty_n and_o deduction_n that_o belong_v to_o they_o the_o one_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o our_o faculty_n and_o we_o can_v oppose_v it_o or_o believe_v against_o it_o because_o it_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n the_o voice_n of_o god_n within_o we_o since_o it_o be_v the_o natural_a result_n of_o those_o power_n that_o he_o have_v put_v in_o we_o but_o it_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n when_o we_o go_v to_o inference_n and_o to_o frame_v difficulty_n in_o this_o appear_v our_o ignorance_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n of_o the_o several_a way_n and_o manner_n in_o which_o they_o may_v operate_v and_o of_o the_o consequence_n that_o seem_v to_o belong_v to_o they_o because_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o judge_v of_o every_o be_v by_o ourselves_o and_o have_v not_o extent_n enough_o of_o thought_n and_o observation_n to_o reason_n always_o true_a or_o to_o judge_v exact_o so_o that_o this_o must_v be_v settle_v as_o a_o clear_a difference_n between_o plain_a perception_n and_o a_o train_n of_o consequence_n we_o be_v always_o to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o one_o but_o not_o by_o the_o other_o to_o instance_n it_o then_o in_o that_o which_o be_v now_o before_o we_o we_o have_v a_o plain_a perception_n that_o no_o be_v can_v be_v both_o one_o and_o three_o in_o the_o same_o respect_n because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o be_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n which_o can_v possible_o be_v true_a but_o if_o a_o thing_n be_v represent_v as_o both_o one_o and_o three_o this_o in_o different_a respect_n may_v be_v true_a thus_o i_o have_v dispatch_v this_o first_o part_n in_o which_o it_o seem_v the_o more_o necessary_a to_o state_n this_o matter_n aright_o that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o plea_n for_o mystery_n belong_v to_o transubstantiation_n since_o here_o be_v the_o full_a evidence_n of_o sense_n in_o a_o object_n of_o sense_n which_o plain_o represent_v to_o we_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o be_v still_o the_o same_o after_o consecration_n that_o they_o be_v before_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v never_o be_v certain_a of_o any_o thing_n if_o in_o this_o case_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v in_o contradiction_n to_o such_o a_o plain_a and_o simple_a perception_n but_o this_o be_v not_o at_o all_o applicable_a to_o any_o speculation_n concern_v the_o divine_a nature_n i_o go_v on_o from_o this_o previous_a discourse_n to_o the_o subject_n itself_o that_o i_o be_o now_o upon_o in_o which_o there_o have_v be_v three_o different_a opinion_n the_o one_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o divine_a person_n miraculous_o conceive_v and_o wonderful_o qualify_v for_o reveal_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o the_o world_n which_o he_o do_v in_o so_o excellent_a a_o manner_n and_o set_v so_o perfect_a a_o pattern_n both_o in_o his_o life_n and_o death_n that_o in_o reward_n of_o that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n put_v the_o divine_a authority_n in_o he_o and_o command_v he_o to_o be_v worship_v and_o acknowledge_v as_o god_n and_o have_v subject_v both_o angel_n and_o man_n to_o he_o though_o he_o have_v no_o existence_n before_o he_o be_v form_v in_o the_o virgin_n be_v womb_n and_o no_o other_o nature_n but_o that_o which_o he_o derive_v from_o his_o miraculous_a conception_n other_o have_v think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o essence_n create_v by_o god_n before_o all_o world_n by_o which_o he_o make_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o this_o essence_n which_o be_v like_o god_n dwell_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o be_v by_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v to_o the_o world_n so_o that_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o honour_n and_o obey_v he_o some_o of_o these_o call_v he_o a_o be_v of_o a_o nature_n quite_o different_a from_o and_o unlike_o the_o divine_a nature_n which_o be_v find_v to_o be_v of_o a_o unacceptable_a sound_n so_o other_o soften_v it_o by_o say_v that_o he_o be_v of_o a_o essence_n like_o the_o father_n but_o this_o be_v only_o a_o mild_a way_n of_o speak_v since_o if_o this_o be_v be_v create_v so_o that_o once_o it_o be_v not_o its_o nature_n must_v be_v essential_o unlike_o the_o father_n for_o sure_a nothing_o can_v be_v more_o unlike_a than_o create_v and_o uncreated_a and_o by_o likeness_n such_o man_n can_v only_o understand_v a_o moral_a likeness_n of_o imitation_n and_o resemblance_n so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v like_o god_n as_o we_o be_v call_v to_o be_v like_o he_o though_o in_o vast_o high_a degree_n the_o 3_o d._n opinion_n be_v that_o the_o godhead_n by_o the_o eternal_a word_n the_o second_o in_o the_o bless_a three_o dwell_v in_o and_o be_v so_o inward_o unite_v to_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o virtue_n of_o it_o god_n and_o man_n be_v true_o one_o person_n as_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v one_o man._n and_o that_o this_o eternal_a word_n be_v true_o god_n and_o as_o such_o be_v worship_v and_o adore_v as_o the_o proper_a object_n of_o divine_a adoration_n by_o those_o of_o this_o persuasion_n the_o name_n person_n come_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o three_o which_o the_o scripture_n only_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n or_o word_n and_o holy_a ghost_n on_o design_n to_o discover_v those_o who_o think_v that_o these_o three_o be_v only_o different_a name_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o by_o person_n be_v not_o mean_v such_o a_o be_v as_o we_o common_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n a_o complete_a intelligent_a be_v distinct_a from_o every_o other_o be_v but_o only_o that_o every_o one_o of_o that_o bless_a three_o have_v a_o peculiar_a distinction_n in_o himself_o by_o which_o he_o be_v true_o different_a from_o the_o other_o two_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o intend_v now_o to_o explain_v to_o you_o when_o i_o say_v explain_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o i_o will_v pretend_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o in_o what_o respect_n these_o person_n be_v believe_v to_o
be_v one_o and_o in_o what_o respect_v they_o be_v three_o by_o explain_v a_o mystery_n can_v only_o be_v mean_v the_o show_v how_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o and_o reveal_v in_o scripture_n for_o to_o pretend_v to_o give_v any_o further_a account_n of_o it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o its_o mysteriousness_n when_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o be_v offer_v to_o be_v make_v intelligible_a in_o this_o too_o many_o both_o ancient_n and_o modern_n have_v perhaps_o go_v beyond_o due_a bound_n while_o some_o be_v please_v with_o the_o platonical_a notion_n of_o emanation_n and_o a_o fecundity_n in_o the_o divine_a essence_n for_o we_o have_v footstep_n of_o a_o tradition_n as_o ancient_n even_o among_o heathen_n as_o any_o we_o can_v trace_v up_o which_o limit_v the_o emanation_n to_o three_o and_o these_o thought_n there_o be_v a_o production_n or_o rather_o a_o eduction_n of_o two_o out_o of_o the_o first_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o some_o philosopher_n think_v that_o soul_n be_v propagate_v from_o soul_n and_o the_o figure_n by_o which_o this_o be_v explain_v be_v that_o of_o one_o candle_n be_v light_v at_o another_o this_o seem_v to_o have_v give_v the_o rise_n to_o those_o word_n light_n of_o light_n it_o be_v certain_a many_o of_o the_o father_n fall_v often_o into_o this_o conceit_n and_o in_o this_o way_n of_o explain_v this_o matter_n they_o have_v say_v many_o thing_n which_o intimate_v that_o they_o believe_v a_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n and_o a_o subordination_n of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o to_o the_o first_o so_o that_o by_o the_o same_o substance_n or_o essence_n they_o do_v in_o many_o place_n express_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o only_o mean_v the_o same_o be_v in_o a_o general_a sense_n as_o all_o human_a soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n that_o be_v the_o same_o order_n or_o sort_n of_o being_n and_o they_o seem_v to_o entitle_v they_o to_o different_a operation_n not_o only_o in_o a_o oeconomical_a way_n but_o think_v that_o one_o do_v that_o which_o the_o other_o do_v not_o this_o be_v indeed_o more_o easy_o to_o be_v apprehend_v but_o it_o seem_v so_o direct_o to_o assert_v three_o god_n which_o be_v very_o contrary_a to_o many_o most_o express_a declaration_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n in_o which_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o deity_n be_v so_o often_o hold_v forth_o that_o therefore_o other_o take_v another_o way_n of_o explain_v this_o make_v it_o their_o foundation_n that_o the_o deity_n be_v one_o numerical_a be_v they_o then_o observe_v that_o the_o sun_n beside_o his_o own_o globe_n have_v a_o emanation_n of_o light_n and_o another_o of_o heat_n which_o have_v different_a operation_n and_o all_o from_o the_o same_o essence_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v both_o intellection_n and_o love_n which_o flow_v from_o its_o essence_n so_o they_o conceive_v that_o the_o primary_n act_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n be_v its_o wisdom_n by_o which_o it_o see_v all_o thing_n and_o in_o which_o as_o in_o a_o inward_a word_n it_o design_v all_o thing_n this_o they_o think_v may_v be_v call_v the_o son_n as_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o eternal_a mind_n while_o from_o the_o fountain-principle_n together_o with_o this_o inward_a word_n there_o do_v arise_v a_o love_n that_o be_v to_o issue_v forth_o and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v more_o particular_o to_o animate_v the_o church_n and_o in_o this_o love_n all_o thing_n be_v to_o have_v life_n and_o favour_n this_o be_v rest_v on_o and_o be_v afterward_o dress_v up_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o dark_a nicety_n by_o the_o school_n and_o grow_v to_o be_v the_o universal_o receive_v explanation_n though_o many_o have_v think_v that_o the_o term_n son_n do_v not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o the_o bless_a three_o but_o only_o to_o our_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n the_o jew_n have_v have_v that_o notion_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n so_o he_o be_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o find_v nathanael_n address_v himself_o thus_o to_o he_o and_o when_o the_o highpriest_n adjure_v our_o saviour_n to_o tell_v if_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n he_o knit_v these_o two_o together_o be_v thou-the_a christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n which_o show_v that_o they_o do_v esteem_v these_o two_o as_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n now_o some_o critic_n do_v apprehend_v that_o since_o in_o many_o place_n the_o term_n son_n of_o god_n have_v manifest_o a_o relation_n to_o christ_n as_o the_o messiah_n there_o be_v in_o this_o a_o uniformity_n in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n style_n so_o that_o every_o where_o by_o the_o phrase_n son_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v jesus_n as_o the_o messiah_n in_o which_o the_o human_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o conception_n they_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o place_n import_v a_o inferiority_n of_o the_o son_n to_o the_o father_n have_v no_o difficulty_n in_o they_o since_o they_o be_v only_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o jesus_n as_o the_o messiah_n but_o that_o the_o divine_a principle_n that_o be_v in_o he_o be_v in_o the_o strictness_n of_o speech_n to_o be_v call_v as_o st._n john_n do_v the_o word_n so_o that_o by_o this_o if_o true_a all_o the_o speculation_n concern_v a_o eternal_a generation_n be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n though_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n every_o emanation_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o may_v be_v so_o call_v these_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o of_o this_o kind_n that_o may_v be_v further_o branch_v out_o and_o enlarge_v upon_o be_v the_o explanation_n that_o divine_n have_v offer_v at_o upon_o this_o mystery_n but_o it_o may_v be_v just_o question_v whether_o by_o these_o they_o have_v either_o make_v it_o to_o be_v better_o understand_v or_o to_o be_v more_o firm_o believe_v or_o whether_o other_o have_v not_o take_v advantage_n to_o represent_v those_o subtlety_n as_o dregs_o either_o of_o aeones_n of_o the_o valentinian_o or_o of_o the_o platonical_a notion_n which_o last_o be_v in_o so_o high_a and_o just_a a_o reputation_n among_o the_o greek_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_n think_v it_o be_v no_o small_a service_n to_o the_o

so_o that_o from_o the_o human_a and_o divine_a nature_n thus_o unite_v there_o do_v result_v the_o person_n of_o the_o messiah_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man._n here_o new_a subtlety_n have_v be_v find_v out_o to_z state_z the_o formal_a notion_n of_o a_o person_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o consist_v in_o a_o special_a subsistence_n so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v think_v that_o the_o human_a nature_n in_o christ_n have_v no_o special_a subsistence_n of_o its_o own_o though_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o explain_v this_o notion_n since_o if_o subsistence_n belong_v to_o the_o

by_o though_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o point_n in_o which_o it_o be_v more_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o arrive_v at_o distinct_a idea_n or_o somewhat_o very_a like_o they_o than_o the_o other_o we_o
