make_v this_o distinction_n plain_a and_o evident_a the_o father_n in_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a and_o constantinople_n have_v expound_v this_o article_n thus_o i_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o lord_n and_o giver_n of_o life_n who_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n who_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n together_o be_v worship_v and_o glorify_v who_o

worship_v and_o glorify_v together_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n communicate_v with_o they_o in_o their_o substance_n nature_n power_n majesty_n glory_n and_o eternity_n and_o speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n distinguish_v he_o from_o all_o creature_n whatsoever_o q._n but_o be_v not_o the_o holy_a spirit_n say_v equal_o of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n too_o a._n it_o be_v true_a both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o both_o holy_a also_o and_o therefore_o indeed_o this_o three_o person_n be_v not_o distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o two_o by_o his_o proper_a name_n but_o be_v call_v by_o a_o name_n common_a to_o the_o other_o two_o and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o of_o our_o want_n of_o word_n for_o we_o can_v conceive_v god_n under_o no_o other_o name_n but_o such_o as_o we_o borrow_v from_o create_a thing_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v resemble_v he_o to_o something_o that_o be_v in_o nature_n and_o no_o far_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v call_v the_o first_o and_o second_o person_n by_o their_o proper_a name_n because_o the_o first_o person_n his_o communicate_v of_o his_o substance_n to_o the_o second_o be_v like_a to_o generation_n that_o be_v the_o act_n of_o generate_a or_o beget_v in_o nature_n and_o so_o the_o substance_n generate_a be_v one_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o substance_n generate_v be_v another_o person_n of_o the_o son_n but_o the_o come_v or_o proceed_v of_o the_o three_o person_n from_o both_o the_o other_o be_v like_a to_o nothing_o in_o nature_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v call_v the_o act_n of_o this_o communicate_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o other_o two_o person_n to_o the_o three_o by_o no_o other_o but_o by_o the_o general_a name_n of_o come_v or_o proceed_v and_o therefore_o the_o person_n proceed_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o can_v be_v express_v no_o nor_o conceive_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o resemble_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n to_o we_o want_v his_o proper_a name_n and_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n proper_a to_o the_o other_o two_o yet_o whensoever_o the_o holy_a spirit_n though_o it_o be_v the_o common_a name_n of_o all_o three_o be_v join_v with_o the_o first_o and_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n or_o with_o either_o of_o they_o by_o way_n of_o distinction_n than_o this_o particular_o signify_v the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n who_o ineffable_o inconceivable_o and_o eternal_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o be_v very_o god_n coeternal_a coequal_a and_o con-substantial_a to_o both_o and_o to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o with_o equal_a honour_n and_o adoration_n q._n but_o why_o be_v the_o three_o person_n call_v holy_a as_o it_o be_v in_o distinction_n to_o the_o other_o two_o a._n we_o must_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n without_o holiness_n and_o all_o other_o attribute_n of_o perfection_n either_o express_v or_o understand_v and_o
