when_o you_o predicate_v godhead_n of_o any_o one_o of_o the_o person_n you_o express_v a_o inadequate_a conception_n of_o god_n but_o to_o prove_v himself_o a_o sound_a trinitarian_n he_o say_v

that_o very_a godhead_n be_v predicate_v of_o the_o whole_a three_o conjunct_o the_o dean_n say_v that_o mr._n h_o w'_v notion_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v such_o that_o neither_o

as_o of_o that_o of_o the_o other_o and_o as_o for_o the_o ancient_a church_n who_o can_v tell_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o the_o father_n beyond_o the_o acknowledge_a rule_n of_o good_a life_n neither_o agree_v with_o one_o another_o nor_o any_o one_o with_o himself_o but_o i_o guess_v his_o ancient_a church_n to_o be_v make_v up_o of_o those_o particular_a doctor_n who_o he_o judge_n to_o

not_o like_a to_o come_v to_o such_o a_o agreement_n and_o perhaps_o not_o the_o tithe_n of_o they_o be_v then_o let_v they_o either_o christianly_o indulge_v the_o unitarian_n in_o their_o contrary_a

this_o why_o he_o argue_v to_o this_o purpose_n if_o there_o be_v three_o spiritual_a being_n of_o distinct_a nature_n in_o the_o godhead_n no_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o

much_o trouble_v and_o after_o all_o his_o trouble_n he_o can_v make_v to_o appear_v indisputable_o possible_a 2._o the_o infinity_o of_o quantitative_a extension_n be_v a_o unjustifiable_a phrase_n for_o as_o cudworth_n will_v tell_v he_o p._n 643_o 644._o body_n or_o matter_n be_v indesinite_a you_o can_v conceive_v it_o so_o great_a but_o you_o may_v conceive_v it_o great_a but_o it_o be_v

i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o necessary_a emanation_n be_v gipsy_n cant_n as_o the_o dean_n pronounce_v of_o some_o word_n of_o doctor_n s_o the_o not_o understand_v his_o own_o gross_a raillery_n
