this_o discovery_n be_v owe_v to_o the_o sagacity_n and_o dexterity_n of_o the_o english_a unitarian_n who_o have_v first_o distinguish_v those_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o church_n into_o nominal_a trinitarian_n and_o real_a trinitarian_n or_o if_o you_o will_v into_o trinitarian_n and_o tritheist_n they_o next_o prove_v their_o agreement_n with_o the_o former_a of_o these_o the_o

the_o realist_n as_o express_o and_o direct_o censure_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n the_o realist_n believe_v that_o the_o trinity_n be_v three_o distinct_a infinite_a substance_n

that_o notwithstanding_o their_o substance_n faculty_n and_o attribute_n remain_v distinct_a and_o divers_a this_o be_v such_o a_o reason_n and_o so_o obvious_a that_o the_o nominal_n utter_o reject_v

person_n otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mere_a mode_n but_o we_o never_o conceive_v a_o person_n without_o the_o essence_n in_o conjunction_n with_o it_o but_o here_o appear_v no_o manner_n of_o contradiction_n in_o assert_v several_a person_n in_o the_o same_o common_a nature_n in_o english_a thus_o tallness_n or_o leanness_n or_o such_o like_a modes_n do_v not_o alone_o make_v a_o person_n there_o must_v be_v some_o essence_n nature_n or_o substance_n add_v to_o the_o mode_n of_o tallness_n suppose_v or_o leanness_n else_o mere_a tallness_n will_v not_o be_v a_o person_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o contradiction_n in_o assert_v several_a person_n such_o as_o tallness_n leanness_n dulness_n when_o join_v to_o some_o essence_n or_o substance_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o common_a nature_n as_o suppose_v of_o humanity_n we_o shall_v consider_v this_o poor_a elusion_n by_o and_o by_o 5._o the_o individual_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v say_v to_o differ_v in_o number_n from_o each_o other_o because_o of_o their_o different_a accident_n and_o separate_a existence_n or_o thus_o tom_n and_o ned_n be_v two_o

though_o the_o quality_n of_o tom_n and_o ned_n be_v the_o same_o yet_o by_o only_o be_v several_a man_n they_o will_v be_v two_o man_n and_o not_o one_o 6._o there_o must_v be_v a_o separation_n in_o nature_n where_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o individual_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n i_o do_v not_o say_v a_o actual_a separation_n or_o division_n as_o to_o place_n but_o there_o be_v and_o must_v be_v in_o nature_n where_o one_o common_a nature_n subsist_v in_o several_a individual_n for_o all_o individual_n must_v divide_v the_o species_n and_o the_o common_a nature_n unite_v they_o or_o will_n be_v not_o harry_n the_o human_a nature_n be_v divide_v in_o these_o two_o person_n yet_o they_o be_v both_o of_o they_o man_n they_o be_v not_o camel_n nor_o yet_o dromedary_n for_o
