do_v not_o stint_v themselves_o in_o the_o number_n of_o their_o god_n they_o be_v polytheist_n not_o tritheist_n even_o the_o platonist_n themselves_o though_o they_o own_a a_o trinity_n a_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o one_o divinity_n which_o extend_v itself_o to_o three_o which_o be_v essential_o distinguish_v from_o all_o create_a nature_n and_o from_o all_o their_o creature_n god_n but_o they_o worship_v many_o god_n beside_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o pagan_a world_n do_v tritheism_n be_v never_o charge_v upon_o any_o man_n but_o the_o worshipper_n of_o the_o holy_a and_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n and_o it_o be_v charge_v upon_o they_o from_o the_o begin_n by_o pagan_n and_o heretic_n the_o fear_n of_o this_o make_v noetus_n and_o sabellius_n deny_v three_o real_a substantial_a person_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o make_v arius_n deny_v the_o true_a eternal_a divinity_n of_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n but_o the_o catholic_n father_n despise_v this_o charge_n and_o own_v three_o distinct_a real_a substantial_a person_n each_o of_o they_o by_o himself_o to_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n but_o not_o three_o god_n but_o one_o god_n for_o thus_o the_o scripture_n have_v teach_v they_o to_o believe_v and_o speak_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o there_o be_v three_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n who_o have_v all_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o deity_n distinct_o in_o themselves_o so_o that_o this_o tritheism_n be_v a_o christian_a heresy_n if_o it_o be_v one_o and_o be_v never_o charge_v upon_o christian_n by_o christian_n for_o several_a age_n but_o only_o by_o heretic_n the_o most_o orthodox_n christian_n be_v always_o most_o charge_v with_o it_o and_o some_o to_o avoid_v this_o charge_n turn_v heretic_n and_o be_v condemn_v for_o such_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o decline_a monkish_a age_n of_o the_o church_n we_o sometime_o hear_v of_o these_o tritheist_n but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a dark_a part_n of_o story_n and_o i_o never_o can_v find_v a_o satisfactory_a account_n what_o their_o opinion_n be_v or_o why_o they_o be_v call_v so_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o that_o they_o may_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o some_o malicious_a animadverter_n who_o by_o zeal_n and_o faction_n may_v procure_v a_o new_a name_n and_o heresy_n to_o be_v decree_v they_o for_o there_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n under_o the_o sun_n but_o this_o have_v make_v i_o apt_a to_o suspect_v that_o those_o who_o have_v be_v charge_v with_o tritheism_n for_o profess_v the_o faith_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n have_v be_v the_o most_o orthodox_n believer_n and_o that_o those_o who_o have_v so_o mince_v the_o matter_n as_o to_o escape_v the_o charge_n of_o tritheism_n from_o heretic_n have_v be_v heretic_n themselves_o a_o real_a substantial_a trinity_n in_o which_o each_o person_n be_v by_o himself_o perfect_a god_n have_v always_o be_v charge_v by_o heretic_n with_o tritheism_n for_o three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n they_o say_v be_v three_o god_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a trinity_n but_o though_o man_n may_v laugh_v at_o a_o trinity_n of_o modes_n you_o shall_v never_o hear_v they_o charge_v it_o with_o tritheism_n and_o what_o heretic_n who_o own_o but_o one_o personal_a god_n can_v charge_v with_o tritheism_n be_v no_o christian_a trinity_n that_o be_v have_v not_o three_o person_n each_o of_o which_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n so_o far_o be_v those_o gentleman_n mistake_v who_o think_v it_o a_o piece_n of_o art_n and_o prudence_n to_o avoid_v all_o expression_n which_o heretic_n charge_v with_o tritheism_n for_o than_o they_o must_v renounce_v all_o word_n which_o contain_v and_o express_v the_o ture_n catholic_n faith_n at_o least_o i_o think_v this_o shall_v warn_v all_o man_n who_o be_v not_o disguise_v atheist_n and_o infidel_n under_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o ridicul_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o these_o tritheist_n heretic_n as_o the_o animadverter_n profane_o do_v who_o so_o often_o scoff_v at_o i_o for_o my_o three_o god_n who_o never_o own_a any_o other_o god_n than_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o pity_v the_o socinian_o as_o a_o unequal_a match_n for_o i_o because_o they_o have_v but_o one_o god_n and_o i_o have_v three_o nay_o compare_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n to_o pagan_a god_n when_o he_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o i_o curse_v he_o by_o my_o god_n which_o be_v a_o manifest_a and_o impious_a allusion_n to_o goliath_n curse_v david_n by_o his_o go_n can_v he_o think_v that_o the_o dispute_v about_o three_o modes_n or_o three_o mind_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n can_v justify_v such_o blasphemy_n as_o these_o against_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n or_o be_v this_o to_o be_v suffer_v in_o a_o christian_a church_n whether_o i_o curse_v he_o or_o not_o and_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o curse_v no_o man_n but_o pray_v for_o my_o worst_a enemy_n he_o may_v just_o fear_v that_o such_o blasphemy_n will_v bring_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n on_o he_o and_o that_o will_v be_v no_o jest_n no_o man_n who_o believe_v but_o one_o divine_a nature_n which_o be_v original_o in_o the_o father_n and_o be_v substantial_o communicate_v by_o the_o father_n to_o the_o son_n as_o a_o distinct_a subsist_v person_n by_o a_o eternal_a and_o ineffable_a generation_n and_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o a_o eternal_a and_o substantial_a procession_n from_o father_n and_o son_n can_v be_v a_o tritheist_n whatever_o inconvenient_a expression_n he_o may_v use_v unless_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n itself_o be_v tritheism_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o charge_n a_o little_a more_o particular_o they_o ask_v we_o whether_o a_o eternal_a and_o infinite_a mind_n be_v not_o ture_n and_o perfect_a god_n yes_o most_o certain_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n we_o must_v assert_v that_o the_o son_n be_v a_o eternal_a infinite_a mind_n because_o he_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n but_o if_o one_o infinite_a mind_n be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n be_v not_o three_o infinite_a mind_n three_o god_n this_o be_v easy_o answer_v as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v concern_v to_o answer_v these_o man_n only_o by_o change_v mind_n for_o person_n be_v not_o a_o eternal_a infinite_a person_n true_a and_o perfect_a god_n and_o if_o every_o eternal_a person_n as_o a_o distinct_a person_n be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n be_v not_o three_o such_o distinct_a person_n three_o god_n the_o objection_n be_v the_o same_o and_o let_v they_o but_o answer_v for_o themselves_o and_o they_o answer_v for_o we_o but_o if_o each_o distinct_a person_n and_o each_o distinct_a mind_n be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n why_o may_v not_o the_o term_n god_n be_v number_v and_o distinguish_v as_o person_n and_o mind_n be_v why_o may_v we_o not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o god_n as_o well_o as_o that_o there_o be_v three_o person_n or_o three_o mind_n this_o be_v the_o true_a difficulty_n which_o as_o much_o affect_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n itself_o as_o any_o term_n or_o expression_n about_o it_o whether_o three_o person_n or_o three_o mind_n nay_o though_o we_o give_v no_o name_n to_o these_o three_o the_o difficulty_n be_v the_o same_o for_o if_o we_o own_o three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n why_o be_v not_o these_o three_o three_o god_n when_o each_o of_o they_o be_v distinct_o and_o by_o himself_o true_a and_o perfect_a god_n now_o not_o to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n with_o the_o socinian_o which_o be_v not_o my_o present_a business_n there_o be_v a_o very_a plain_a account_n to_o be_v give_v of_o this_o to_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v a_o trinity_n why_o we_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n each_o of_o which_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n and_o yet_o must_v not_o and_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o go_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n be_v because_o there_o be_v three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v a_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n and_o three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v a_o distinct_a mind_n be_v three_o distinct_a mind_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v not_o say_v there_o be_v three_o god_n be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v not_o three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v distinct_o and_o by_o himself_o true_a and_o perfect_a god_n as_o every_o infinite_a mind_n be_v for_o that_o be_v sabellianism_n but_o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o divinity_n or_o godhead_n the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o they_o all_o and_o
