infinite_a person_n and_o but_o one_o god_n ask_v they_o how_o can_v these_o thing_n be_v and_o what_o do_v you_o mean_v they_o answer_v our_o meaning_n only_o be_v god_n understand_v himself_o and_o

the_o father_n create_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o son_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o wish_v the_o sage_n of_o the_o party_n have_v think_v fit_a plain_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o mean_v by_o

to_o explain_v their_o notion_n of_o the_o father_n being_n most_o proper_o the_o creator_n than_o by_o say_v he_o be_v just_a so_o according_a to_o they_o the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n as_o

the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o be_v whole_o silent_a of_o the_o great_a mystery_n that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o son_n and_o through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v yet_o worse_o impose_v on_o we_o by_o a_o unheard-of_a solecism_n and_o impropriety_n while_o they_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o or_o three_o pretend_v create_v person_n by_o the_o singular_a pronoun_n

of_o all_o sort_n and_o of_o every_o order_n of_o man_n from_o the_o damn_v imputation_n of_o adam_n transgression_n to_o they_o to_o this_o end_n it_o be_v ne-necessary_a that_o a_o full_a
