observation_n on_o the_o four_o letter_n of_o dr._n john_n wallis_n concern_v the_o trinity_n and_o the_o creed_n of_o athanasius_n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n m.dc.xci_o observation_n on_o the_o four_o letter_n of_o dr._n john_n wallis_n etc._n etc._n sir_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o dr._n w_n three_o letter_n or_o rather_o book_n which_o you_o bring_v to_o my_o house_n you_o not_o find_v i_o at_o home_n prevent_v our_o discourse_v together_o of_o it_o therefore_o i_o have_v give_v you_o here_o my_o thought_n of_o his_o performance_n therein_o and_o because_o in_o this_o he_o have_v review_v and_o explain_v his_o former_a letter_n i_o also_o will_v again_o consider_v they_o the_o design_n of_o dr._n wallis_n his_o letter_n consider_v he_o tell_v we_o at_o pag._n 10._o and_o 18._o of_o his_o first_o letter_n and_o at_o pag._n 38._o of_o the_o three_o letter_n what_o be_v the_o design_n of_o these_o letter_n to_o prove_v say_v he_o that_o what_o be_v in_o one_o regard_n three_o may_v in_o another_o regard_n be_v but_o one_o and_o if_o i_o have_v sufficient_o evince_v this_o i_o have_v do_v what_o i_o undertake_v and_o in_o so_o do_v have_v remove_v the_o great_a objection_n which_o the_o socinian_o will_v cast_v in_o our_o way_n and_o because_o of_o which_o they_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o shuffle_v off_o other_o argument_n to_o prove_v his_o proposition_n he_o allege_v in_o his_o first_o letter_n that_o the_o three_o dimension_n length_n breadth_n and_o height_n of_o a_o cubical_a body_n be_v but_o one_o cube_n he_o add_v there_o to_o be_v to_o know_v and_o to_o do_v be_v distinct_a from_o each_o other_o yet_o it_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o soul_n which_o be_v and_o know_v and_o do_v further_n understanding_n will_n and_o memory_n be_v all_o in_o the_o same_o soul_n and_o vnum_fw-la verum_fw-la bonum_fw-la be_v but_o the_o same_o ens._n to_o enlighten_v the_o dull_a socinian_o by_o familiar_a and_o easy_a example_n he_o mind_v they_o at_o pag._n 42._o of_o the_o three_o letter_n that_o three_o groat_n make_v but_o one_o shilling_n three_o noble_n but_o one_o pound_n he_o dilate_v upon_o these_o instance_n especial_o that_o noble_a one_o of_o the_o cube_n of_o which_o he_o have_v he_o say_v at_o pag._n 18._o of_o the_o four_o letter_n consider_v above_o forty_o year_n in_o several_a page_n and_o he_o be_v so_o serious_a and_o earnest_a that_o i_o very_o think_v the_o doctor_n be_v sincere_a and_o honest_a and_o do_v indeed_o imagine_v that_o this_o be_v the_o point_n in_o question_n whether_o what_o be_v in_o one_o regard_n three_o may_v not_o in_o another_o regard_n be_v but_o one_o therefore_o sir_n i_o pray_v tell_v he_o from_o i_o that_o the_o socinian_o will_v grant_v he_o what_o he_o imagine_v be_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n and_o much_o more_o to_o it_o they_o will_v not_o put_v dr._n wallis_n upon_o prove_v that_o what_o in_o one_o regard_n be_v a_o hundred_o a_o thousand_o or_o even_o a_o infinite_a number_n may_v in_o another_o regard_n be_v but_o one._n a_o hundred_o soldier_n make_v but_o one_o company_n a_o thousand_o but_o one_o regiment_n a_o infinite_a number_n of_o moment_n make_v but_o one_o eternity_n tell_v he_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o as_o st._n paul_n express_o teach_v gal._n 3.20_o god_n be_v one_o or_o as_o holy_a mother_n church_n and_o alma_fw-la mater_fw-la academia_n god_n be_v three_o whether_o there_o be_v or_o can_v be_v three_o infinite_a almighty_a and_o alwise_a person_n or_o only_o one_o such_o person_n or_o be_v which_o the_o socinian_o guide_v by_o natural_a and_o common_a notion_n think_v to_o be_v as_o much_o as_o whether_o there_o be_v three_o god_n or_o but_o one_o god_n they_o affirm_v the_o latter_a the_o trinitarian_n the_o former_a but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o socinian_o deny_v that_o god_n can_v be_v three_o or_o that_o there_o be_v three_o infinite_a person_n or_o intelligent_a being_n be_v because_o god_n be_v but_o one_o can_v be_v three_o and_o here_o come_v in_o the_o doctor_n be_v solution_n what_o be_v in_o one_o regard_n three_o may_v in_o another_o regard_n be_v but_o one._n and_o this_o he_o prove_v by_o instance_n as_o that_o in_o a_o cube_n there_o be_v three_o dimension_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o cube_n and_o several_a such_o like_a i_o answer_v the_o doctor_n first_o raises_z in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o socinian_o a_o impertinent_a objection_n and_o then_o solve_v it_o by_o instance_n the_o socinian_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o one_o true_a god_n be_v three_o person_n because_o what_o be_v in_o one_o regard_n but_o one_o can_v in_o another_o be_v three_o of_o which_o no_o man_n ever_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o doubt_v but_o for_o the_o reason_n mention_v in_o the_o first_o letter_n of_o the_o brief_a history_n of_o the_o unitarian_n if_o the_o doctor_n will_v have_v prove_v a_o particular_a proposition_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o trinity_n this_o be_v the_o proposition_n to_o have_v be_v prove_v what_o be_v in_o one_o regard_n three_o may_v in_o another_o regard_n be_v so_o one_o that_o all_o of_o they_o together_o be_v but_o one_o and_o yet_o each_o of_o they_o single_o and_o by_o himself_o be_v that_o one._n for_o so_o they_o say_v of_o the_o pretend_v trinity_n the_o three_o person_n say_v they_o together_o be_v the_o one_o true_a god_n yet_o each_o of_o they_o single_o and_o by_o himself_o be_v the_o one_o true_a god_n each_o of_o they_o be_v so_o perfect_o god_n and_o that_o one_o true_a god_n that_o he_o have_v the_o whole_a divine_a nature_n and_o essence_n be_v a_o infinite_a almighty_a and_o alwise_a person_n this_o be_v that_o monstrous_a paradox_n and_o contradiction_n that_o the_o doctor_n shall_v have_v prove_v and_o which_o he_o and_o his_o party_n charge_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o this_o be_v that_o which_o because_o all_o other_o argument_n fail_v they_o in_o their_o disputation_n with_o the_o photinian_o and_o arian_n they_o at_o last_o effectual_o prove_v by_o the_o imperial_a edict_n by_o confiscation_n and_o banishment_n by_o seize_v and_o burn_v all_o book_n write_v against_o it_o or_o they_o by_o capital_a punishment_n and_o when_o the_o papacy_n of_o which_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a article_n prevail_v by_o fire_n and_o faggot_n let_v we_o now_o brief_o consider_v the_o doctor_n be_v notable_a instance_n three_o groat_n be_v but_o one_o shilling_n say_v the_o doctor_n very_o well_o but_o each_o groat_n single_o and_o by_o itself_o be_v not_o a_o shilling_n three_o noble_n be_v but_o one_o pound_n but_o each_o noble_a single_a and_o by_o itself_o be_v but_o the_o three_o part_n of_o a_o pound_n to_o be_v to_o know_v and_o to_o do_v be_v in_o the_o soul_n so_o be_v understanding_n will_n and_o memory_n as_o also_o verum_fw-la bonum_fw-la vnum_fw-la but_o no_o one_o of_o they_o single_o be_v the_o soul_n or_o a_o soul_n long_n broad_a and_o high_a be_v dimension_n in_o a_o cube_n but_o long_o single_o and_o by_o itself_o be_v not_o a_o cube_n but_o only_o a_o line_n long_a and_o broad_a be_v not_o a_o cube_n but_o only_o a_o superficies_n long_o broad_a and_o high_a together_o be_v the_o cube_n but_o it_o be_v far_o otherways_o in_o the_o pretend_v trinity_n there_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n together_o be_v the_o one_o true_a god_n as_o long_o broad_a and_o high_a be_v the_o cube_n and_o yet_o each_o of_o those_o person_n single_o and_o by_o himself_o be_v say_v their_o creed_n perfect_a god_n have_v the_o whole_a divine_a nature_n or_o whole_a nature_n and_o perfection_n of_o god_n though_o in_o the_o allege_a parallel_n neither_o long_a broad_a nor_o high_a be_v the_o cube_n have_v the_o whole_a cubical_a nature_n or_o whole_a nature_n and_o perfection_n of_o a_o cube_n therefore_o say_v i_o this_o instance_n of_o a_o cube_n and_o its_o three_o dimension_n do_v not_o quadrate_n to_o the_o imagine_v trinity_n or_o help_v we_o to_o conceive_v its_o possibility_n or_o consistency_n but_o say_v the_o doctor_n at_o pag._n 9_o of_o the_o second_o letter_n tho'_o we_o can_v say_v in_o the_o abstract_n that_o length_n be_v a_o cube_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n yet_o in_o the_o concrete_a we_o may_v say_v this_o long_a thing_n or_o this_o which_o be_v long_o be_v a_o cube_n just_o so_o we_o do_v not_o say_v in_o the_o abstract_n paternity_n be_v god_n but_o in_o the_o concrete_a the_o father_n be_v god_n and_o so_o of_o the_o other_o person_n the_o personality_n be_v
