animadversion_n upon_o a_o late_a discourse_n concern_v the_o divinity_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n by_o edmund_z elys_n sometime_o fellow_n of_o balliol_n college_n in_o oxford_n eccles_n chap._n

thou_o go_v if_o the_o author_n of_o this_o discourse_n do_v real_o design_n to_o maintain_v the_o profession_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v one_o good_a word_n of_o the_o creed_n of_o st._n athanasius_n of_o the_o nicene_n creed_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a he_o shall_v so_o contemn_v the_o ancient_a father_n if_o his_o sentiment_n touch_v the_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o with_o they_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n to_o judge_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o plain_o deny_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o from_o the_o humane_a and_o divine_a nature_n unite_v there_o do_v result_v the_o person_n of_o the_o messius_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man._n certain_o that_o which_o result_v from_o the_o union_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n with_o the_o divine_a be_v not_o eternal_a or_o from_o everlasting_a we_o can_v frame_n say_v he_o no_o distinct_a idea_n of_o that_o infinite_a essence_n and_o it_o be_v not_o infinite_a if_o we_o can_v answ_n but_o we_o may_v reflect_v upon_o that_o idea_n which_o god_n himself_o the_o one_o be_v absolute_o infinite_a have_v impress_v upon_o all_o rational_a soul_n to_o know_v god_n be_v to_o have_v a_o distinct_a idea_n of_o he_o he_o that_o

impression_n we_o receive_v from_o he_o he_o say_v that_o one_o opinion_n concern_v christ_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o divine_a person_n miraculous_o conceive_a etc._n etc._n though_o he_o have_v no_o existence_n before_o he_o be_v form_v in_o the_o virgin_n womb._n here_o i_o desire_v that_o the_o christian_a reader_n will_v observe_v the_o subtlety_n of_o some_o deceiver_n who_o by_o call_v our_o saviour_n a_o divine_a person_n will_v avoid_v the_o abhorrence_n and_o detestation_n they_o deserve_v because_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v a_o nature_n true_o divine_a or_o eternal_a he_o tell_v we_o that_o some_o philosopher_n think_v that_o soul_n be_v propagate_v from_o soul_n and_o the_o figure_n by_o which_o this_o be_v explain_v be_v that_o of_o one_o candle_n be_v light_v at_o another_o this_o seem_v to_o have_v give_v the_o rise_n to_o those_o word_n light_n of_o light_n it_o be_v certain_a many_o of_o the_o father_n fall_v often_o into_o this_o conceit_n and_o in_o this_o way_n of_o explain_v this_o matter_n they_o have_v say_v many_o thing_n which_o intimate_v that_o they_o believe_v a_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n and_o a_o subordination_n of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o to_o the_o first_o so_o that_o by_o the_o same_o substance_n or_o essence_n they_o do_v in_o many_o place_n express_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o only_o mean_v the_o same_o be_v in_o a_o general_a sense_n as_o all_o humane_a soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n that_o be_v the_o same_o order_n or_o sort_n of_o being_n and_o they_o seem_v to_o entitle_v they_o to_o different_a operation_n not_o only_o in_o a_o oeconomical_a way_n but_o think_v that_o one_o do_v that_o which_o the_o other_o do_v not_o here_o he_o plain_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o many_o of_o the_o father_n be_v no_o true_a christian_n but_o have_v a_o conceit_n that_o there_o be_v three_o god_n for_o most_o certain_o if_o they_o think_v that_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o all_o humane_a soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o that_o they_o have_v different_a operation_n not_o only_o in_o a_o oeconomical_a way_n but_o so_o that_o one_o do_v what_o the_o other_o do_v not_o they_o think_v in_o effect_n that_o there_o be_v three_o go_n if_o he_o will_v name_v any_o one_o of_o those_o who_o have_v publish_v such_o monstrous_a conception_n we_o shall_v give_v he_o a_o punctual_a answer_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o must_v aver_n to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o not_o one_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n of_o the_o four_o first_o general_n council_n be_v subject_a to_o any_o such_o delirium_fw-la and_o every_o one_o of_o those_o that_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o father_n shall_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o he_o for_o lay_v so_o foul_a a_o imputation_n upon_o many_o father_n not_o name_a one_o of_o they_o so_o that_o he_o may_v insinuate_v a_o contempt_n of_o they_o all_o into_o the_o mind_n of_o unwary_a reader_n other_o say_z he_o take_v another_o way_n of_o explain_v this_o make_v it_o their_o foundation_n that_o the_o deity_n be_v one_o numerical_a be_v answ_n the_o ancient_a father_n do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o deity_n be_v one_o numerical_a be_v what_o they_o say_v manifest_o import_v that_o the_o deity_n be_v be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o viz._n be_v absolute_o infinite_a so_o that_o it_o imply_v the_o most_o palpable_a contradiction_n that_o the_o true_a and_o eternal_a god_n shall_v not_o be_v absolute_o one_o i_o desire_v that_o the_o learned_a reader_n will_v be_v ever_o mindful_a of_o these_o word_n of_o saint_n basil_n in_o his_o 141_o epistle_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d he_o tell_v

may_v find_v this_o execrable_a heresy_n in_o write_v we_o shall_v undertake_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n to_o manifest_a the_o madness_n and_o folly_n of_o it_o he_o slight_v this_o position_n of_o
