last_o syllogism_n can_v be_v deny_v the_o rest_n be_v clear_a and_o evident_a and_o therefore_o i_o here_o leave_v the_o inconsiderate_a atheist_n to_o ponder_v the_o force_n and_o energy_n of_o this_o demonstration_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o socinian_o sect_n ii_o the_o main_a objection_n of_o the_o heterodox_n unitarian_n be_v full_o propose_v and_o solve_v by_o the_o orthodox_n trinitarian_n here_o our_o adversary_n do_v agree_v with_o we_o in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o one_o only_a omnipotent_a and_o infinite_a wise_a god_n but_o they_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o three_o person_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n acknowledge_v but_o one_o hypostasis_fw-la or_o suppositum_fw-la in_o the_o deity_n to_o prove_v which_o they_o propose_v this_o follow_a argument_n the_o divine_a nature_n be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n be_v the_o divine_a nature_n therefore_o the_o son_n be_v the_o father_n so_o likewise_o to_o prove_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n with_o the_o son_n as_o they_o suppose_v they_o have_v prove_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n to_o be_v but_o one_o person_n and_o thus_o they_o reduce_v the_o trinity_n of_o the_o person_n to_o only_o one_o hypostasis_fw-la or_o personality_n to_o effect_v this_o they_o frame_v this_o syllogism_n the_o divine_a nature_n be_v the_o son_n the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o divine_a nature_n therefore_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o son_n by_o these_o two_o syllogism_n they_o intend_v to_o reduce_v the_o paternity_n of_o the_o father_n the_o filiation_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o passive_a spiration_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v but_o one_o hypostasis_fw-la or_o personality_n ground_v themselves_o upon_o that_o orthodox_n principle_n of_o we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a identity_n between_o the_o deity_n and_o each_o of_o the_o three_o person_n without_o which_o identity_n they_o can_v not_o be_v divine_a for_o answer_v to_o this_o achilles_n or_o efficacious_a argument_n as_o the_o socinian_o do_v suppose_v i_o reply_v by_o deny_v the_o consequence_n of_o both_o syllogism_n for_o neither_o of_o they_o conclude_v for_o want_v of_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o medium_n or_o middle_a term_n which_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n to_o this_o the_o socinian_o answer_n that_o the_o two_o forementioned_a syllogism_n be_v both_o expositary_a and_o therefore_o do_v conclude_v with_o great_a perspicuity_n and_o certainty_n than_o either_o of_o the_o mood_n contain_v under_o the_o three_o figure_n which_o aristotle_n have_v settle_v for_o the_o rule_n of_o disputation_n which_o likewise_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o philosopher_n and_o logician_n since_o aristotle_n time_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o expositary_a syllogism_n have_v all_o its_o three_o term_n singular_a and_o neither_o of_o they_o capable_a of_o multiplication_n so_o that_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o medium_n be_v needless_a as_o in_o this_o syllogism_n this_o angel_n be_v send_v from_o god_n gabriel_n be_v this_o angel_n therefore_o gabriel_n be_v send_v from_o god_n in_o this_o syllogism_n grant_v the_o premise_n and_o deny_v the_o consequence_n if_o you_o can_v and_o a_o thousand_o more_o such_o example_n may_v be_v produce_v wherein_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o medium_n be_v superfluous_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v by_o grant_v the_o force_n of_o a_o expositary_a syllogism_n but_o deny_v that_o either_o of_o the_o two_o first_o syllogism_n be_v expositary_a for_o though_o the_o medium_n in_o they_o both_o which_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n appear_v singular_a yet_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o multiplication_n by_o reason_n that_o it_o contain_v not_o only_o all_o the_o infinite_a perfection_n and_o attribute_n of_o the_o deity_n which_o be_v all_o singular_a and_o constitute_v but_o one_o singular_a divine_a substance_n yet_o the_o deity_n contain_v in_o it_o also_o the_o notional_a predicate_v and_o relative_n perfection_n of_o three_o person_n which_o be_v real_o distinct_a from_o each_o other_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o medium_n be_v not_o distribute_v the_o syllogism_n be_v not_o in_o form_n and_o conclude_v nothing_o here_o the_o socinian_n out_o of_o a_o civil_a compliance_n rather_o than_o lose_v his_o fast_a hold_n will_v accommodate_v himself_o to_o the_o genius_n of_o his_o adversary_n by_o distribute_v his_o medium_fw-la which_o he_o thus_o effect_n all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o deity_n therefore_o the_o son_n be_v the_o father_n this_o syllogism_n be_v in_o form_n and_o conclude_v right_o neither_o can_v you_o deny_v the_o major_a for_o you_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o deity_n be_v one_o singular_a indivisible_a and_o individual_a substance_n you_o grant_v also_o a_o real_a identity_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o deity_n therefore_o by_o a_o rigid_a necessity_n you_o must_v grant_v a_o real_a identity_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o whole_a real_a substance_n of_o the_o deity_n for_o it_o contain_v no_o part_n nor_o particle_n real_o distinct_a from_o each_o other_o i_o answer_v by_o distinguish_v the_o major_a all_o the_o absolute_a perfection_n contain_v in_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o father_n i_o grant_v it_o all_o the_o notional_a predicate_v and_o relative_a perfection_n contain_v in_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o father_n i_o deny_v it_o for_o the_o filiation_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o passive_a

distinction_n we_o must_v admit_v two_o part_n real_o distinct_a from_o each_o other_o whereof_o the_o one_o be_v identify_v with_o the_o father_n the_o other_z not_o where_o of_o force_n we_o must_v swallow_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n or_o admit_v two_o part_n in_o the_o deity_n real_o distinct_a from_o each_o other_o and_o both_o complete_o endow_v with_o the_o deity_n which_o be_v to_o

objection_n i_o do_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v very_o remote_a from_o our_o thought_n to_o admit_v in_o the_o divinity_n more_o than_o one_o real_a and_o divine_a substance_n so_o that_o your_o allegation_n of_o our_o grant_v two_o god_n be_v frivolous_a and_o injurious_a to_o we_o as_o to_o the_o other_o part_n allege_v in_o the_o objection_n of_o admit_v a_o contradiction_n scotus_n with_o all_o his_o school_n of_o the_o scotist_n do_v answer_v you_o that_o here_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o a_o contradiction_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o distinction_n which_o they_o call_v distinctionem_fw-la mediam_fw-la or_o exit_fw-la natura_fw-la rei_fw-la that_o be_v not_o real_a but_o more_o than_o formal_a which_o have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o understanding_n by_o this_o they_o distinguish_v between_o the_o divinity_n and_o the_o notional_a perfection_n of_o the_o person_n so_o that_o the_o extreme_n of_o your_o pretend_a contradiction_n be_v not_o the_o same_o many_o other_o learned_a divine_n do_v admit_v of_o a_o virtual_a distinction_n between_o the_o deity_n and_o the_o notional_a or_o relative_n predicate_v of_o the_o person_n by_o which_o your_o pretend_a difficulty_n vanish_v to_o smoke_n but_o because_o i_o have_v in_o the_o treatise_n of_o the_o trinity_n impugn_a and_o reject_v both_o these_o opinion_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o a_o formal_a distinction_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o understanding_n and_o suppose_v by_o the_o very_a objection_n be_v sufficient_a to_o evacuate_v this_o pretend_a difficulty_n for_o hereby_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o pretend_a contradiction_n be_v not_o ejusdem_fw-la de_fw-fr eodem_fw-la as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o be_v both_o part_n be_v not_o of_o the_o
