point_n which_o christian_n believe_v and_o profess_v against_o heathen_n and_o infidel_n in_o this_o high_a mystery_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n this_o unity_n therefore_o establish_v i_o proceed_v to_o deduce_v brief_o from_o the_o same_o principle_n the_o most_o sacred_a trinity_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n which_o all_o orthodox_n christian_n maintain_v against_o jew_n turk_n and_o heretic_n which_o i_o deduce_v thus_o there_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n express_v and_o express_v therefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n produce_v and_o produce_v i_o prove_v the_o consequence_n for_o every_o expression_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v a_o production_n of_o something_o as_o appear_v in_o all_o expression_n which_o we_o know_v if_o therefore_o this_o expression_n be_v a_o production_n it_o must_v produce_v something_o but_o as_o i_o prove_v it_o express_v nothing_o save_v that_o very_a thing_n which_o express_v for_o it_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o itself_o therefore_o it_o produce_v nothing_o save_v that_o very_a thing_n which_o that_o be_v which_o produce_v it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o to_o understand_v any_o thing_n be_v as_o much_o to_o produce_v the_o intellection_n of_o it_o as_o to_o express_v any_o thing_n be_v to_o produce_v the_o expression_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o god_n by_o understanding_n himself_o essential_o produce_v himself_o essential_o i_o answer_v by_o deny_v the_o parity_n for_o even_o a_o create_a intellection_n may_v and_o do_v understand_v itself_o without_o produce_v itself_o for_o a_o intellection_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v only_o contemplative_a and_o theorical_a be_v only_o the_o sight_n and_o not_o the_o production_n of_o its_o object_n and_o rather_o suppose_v its_o object_n and_o be_v the_o sight_n of_o it_o than_o either_o produce_v its_o object_n or_o the_o sight_n of_o it_o but_o whatsoever_o express_v any_o thing_n work_v upon_o that_o which_o it_o express_v and_o either_o produce_v it_o or_o the_o expression_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v different_a from_o its_o expression_n now_o i_o proceed_v if_o therefore_o this_o expression_n be_v a_o production_n and_o so_o there_o must_v be_v that_o very_a thing_n produce_v which_o produce_v there_o must_v be_v a_o true_a distinction_n betwixt_o the_o producer_n and_o the_o produce_v so_o that_o the_o producer_n be_v unus_fw-la and_o the_o produce_v alius_fw-la and_o consequent_o must_v make_v a_o number_n and_o be_v two_o and_o because_o actiones_fw-la sunt_fw-la suppositorum_fw-la and_o suppositum_fw-la in_o rationali_fw-la natura_fw-la as_o that_o of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v term_v right_o persona_fw-la a_o person_n therefore_o these_o must_v be_v two_o divine_a person_n so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o this_o expression_n and_o production_n principians_n and_o principiatus_fw-la one_o who_o be_v the_o principate_v and_o another_o who_o be_v derive_v from_o he_o who_o principlate_v there_o be_v originans_n &_o originatus_fw-la gignens_fw-la and_o genitus_fw-la pater_fw-la &_o filius_fw-la etc._n etc._n now_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o conceive_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v both_o father_n and_o son_n generate_a and_o generate_v principiate_v and_o principiate_v produce_v and_o produce_v express_v and_o express_v for_o see_v these_o notion_n find_v real_a reference_n respect_n and_o relation_n betwixt_o the_o producer_n and_o the_o produce_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o conceive_v they_o without_o a_o real_a personal_a distinction_n and_o duality_n in_o number_n for_o one_o sole_a person_n can_v never_o find_v a_o real_a relation_n to_o himself_o but_o only_o relationem_fw-la rationis_fw-la and_o the_o same_o reason_n prove_v the_o same_o distinction_n betwixt_o that_o love_n joy_n and_o repose_v etc._n etc._n which_o indivisible_o proceed_v from_o this_o produce_v and_o produce_v duality_n so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o triality_n or_o number_n of_o three_o in_o one_o reality_n that_o be_v one_o real_a thing_n thrice_o suppositate_v and_o personate_v or_o one_o real_a thing_n subsist_v thrice_o and_o by_o thrice_o subsist_v have_v a_o true_a numerality_n or_o distinction_n of_o three_o the_o mystery_n therefore_o seem_v to_o i_o i_o crave_v pardon_n if_o i_o either_o think_v or_o speak_v amiss_o and_o refer_v my_o judgement_n to_o those_o who_o be_v impower_v to_o allow_v or_o condemn_v it_o to_o be_v one_o thing_n thrice_o over_o and_o that_o necessary_o and_o essential_o by_o force_n of_o its_o infinite_a vigour_n activity_n fecundity_n and_o perfection_n whereas_o all_o other_o thing_n finite_a and_o limit_a subsist_v but_o once_o as_o not_o have_v strength_n and_o perfection_n enough_o to_o give_v themselves_o a_o double_a or_o a_o triple_a subsistence_n which_o power_n of_o duplify_a and_o triplify_a itself_o suppose_v all_o those_o seem_a contrariety_n and_o contradiction_n which_o natural_a humane_a reason_n raise_v up_o against_o this_o mystery_n will_v clear_o appear_v to_o be_v mere_a illusion_n and_o misconceipt_n of_o our_o weak_a capacity_n which_o imagine_v that_o to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o one_o thing_n subsist_v thrice_o because_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v one_o in_o create_a thing_n which_o subsist_v but_o once_o for_o this_o triality_n of_o subsistence_n consist_v in_o a_o real_a distinction_n numerosity_n and_o multiplication_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n make_v that_o to_o be_v equivalent_a to_o different_a thing_n whereof_o each_o have_v no_o more_o than_o one_o sole_a subsistence_n or_o subsist_v but_o once_o thus_o in_o this_o mystery_n there_o be_v as_o true_o a_o father_n and_o a_o son_n two_o distinct_a person_n the_o one_o ingenerate_a and_o generate_a the_o other_o as_o father_n and_o son_n be_v two_o among_o man_n thus_o there_o be_v as_o real_a a_o procession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o heat_n proceed_v from_o light_n and_o the_o sun_n thus_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_o one_o and_o the_o person_n perfect_o three_o because_o this_o one_o nature_n subsist_v thrice_o thus_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v communicable_a because_o it_o be_v one_o in_o three_o and_o the_o personality_n incommunicable_a because_o they_o be_v three_o in_o one_o see_v therefore_o number_n be_v a_o absolute_a perfection_n in_o create_v and_o finite_a being_n for_o two_o thing_n of_o equal_a perfection_n be_v better_o than_o each_o of_o they_o take_v sole_o by_o itself_o and_o the_o same_o perfection_n twice_o repeat_v be_v better_a than_o only_o once_o why_o shall_v this_o perfection_n be_v want_v to_o god_n and_o see_v fecundity_n to_o produce_v something_o of_o like_a nature_n to_o it_o self_n be_v a_o absolute_a perfection_n in_o create_a being_n why_o shall_v not_o god_n have_v it_o and_o see_v love_n charity_n joy_n and_o content_a be_v a_o absolute_a perfection_n among_o man_n and_o angel_n why_o shall_v not_o god_n enjoy_v that_o perfection_n proper_o and_o perfect_o to_o who_o no_o absolute_a perfection_n can_v be_v want_v for_o see_v there_o be_v three_o rank_n of_o perfection_n among_o man_n the_o first_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o essence_n and_o intrinsical_v and_o radical_a be_v which_o may_v be_v term_v essential_a the_o second_o in_o ordine_fw-la naturae_fw-la or_o active_a power_n of_o such_o a_o essence_n which_o be_v term_v natural_a and_o the_o three_o in_o ordine_fw-la humano_fw-la or_o of_o sociability_n and_o mutual_a communication_n one_o with_o another_o which_o we_o call_v moral_a i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o all_o these_o rank_n of_o perfection_n shall_v not_o be_v find_v both_o perfect_o and_o formal_o in_o god_n his_o unity_n omnipotency_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v call_v his_o intrinsecal_n and_o radical_a or_o primary_n essential_a perfection_n as_o he_o be_v consider_v in_o ordine_fw-la

etc._n etc._n in_o the_o procession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o moral_a perfection_n in_o communication_n and_o society_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o reason_n itself_o and_o in_o the_o full_a latitude_n of_o its_o perfection_n his_o essential_a and_o intrinsical_v notion_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o reason_n his_o natural_a activeness_n be_v
