not_o three_o essence_n every_o person_n distinct_o consider_v have_v a_o essence_n but_o every_o person_n have_v not_o a_o distinct_a essence_n 2._o though_o one_o finite_a individual_a nature_n

be_v so_o that_o when_o we_o be_v interrogated_a whether_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v finite_a or_o infinite_a perfect_a or_o imperfect_a if_o by_o person_n be_v mean_v only_o a_o mode_n of_o subsistence_n without_o the_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o very_a incongruous_a question_n for_o infinity_n and_o finity_n perfection_n and_o imperfection_n be_v but_o mode_n of_o

the_o three_o person_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n yet_o the_o son_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o father_n or_o the_o spirit_n the_o son_n the_o same_o specifical_a nature_n agree_v to_o joh_n moses_n and_o daniel_n every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n yet_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o assert_v that_o moses_n be_v job_n or_o joh_n daniel_n as_o
