creature_n and_o in_o imitation_n of_o they_o some_o other_o have_v since_o so_o use_v it_o but_o this_o be_v a_o new_a sense_n of_o late_a age_n since_o the_o time_n of_o those_o father_n nor_o do_v the_o schoolman_n in_o this_o sense_n without_o a_o metaphor_n apply_v it_o to_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n we_o can_v therefore_o conclude_v from_o hence_o what_o be_v the_o father_n sense_n of_o it_o 4._o to_o find_v out_o therefore_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o t●e_v word_n person_n as_o apply_v to_o the_o trinity_n we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o consider_v what_o nowadays_o the_o word_n do_v sometime_o signify_v with_o we_o in_o english_a nor_o what_o sense_n the_o schoolman_n have_v put_v upon_o it_o since_o the_o time_n of_o those_o father_n as_o what_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la at_o or_o before_o their_o time_n in_o approve_a latin_a author_n which_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n from_o either_o of_o these_o sense_n for_o what_o in_o english_a we_o sometime_o mean_v by_o three_o person_n take_v indifferent_o for_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n the_o latin_n will_v not_o have_v call_v tres_fw-la personas_fw-la but_o tres_fw-la homines_fw-la though_o if_o consider_v in_o such_o relation_n as_o father_n mother_n and_o child_n they_o may_v so_o be_v call_v tres_fw-la personae_fw-la nor_o do_v i_o find_v that_o in_o approve_a latin_a author_n the_o word_n persona_fw-la be_v wont_a to_o be_v attribute_v by_o they_o as_o by_o the_o schoolman_n it_o have_v since_o be_v to_o angel_n nor_o to_o their_o genii_n or_o heathen_a go_n but_o 5._o it_o do_v signify_v the_o state_n quality_n or_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n as_o he_o stand_v relate_v to_o other_o men._n and_o so_o i_o find_v the_o latin_a word_n persona_fw-la english_v in_o our_o dictionary_n suppose_v as_o a_o king_n a_o subject_a a_o father_n a_o son_n a_o neighbour_n a_o public_a or_o private_a person_n a_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o as_o the_o condition_n vary_v the_o person_n vary_v also_o though_o the_o same_o man_n remain_v as_o if_o a_o ordinary_a person_n be_v first_o make_v a_o knight_n and_o then_o a_o lord_n the_o person_n or_o condition_n be_v vary_v but_o he_o be_v still_o the_o same_o man_n that_o he_o be_v before_o and_o he_o that_o be_v this_o year_n a_o lord_n mayor_n may_v be_v next_o year_n but_o a_o alderman_n or_o not_o so_o much_o hence_o be_v those_o latin_a phrase_n frequent_a in_o approve_a author_n personam_fw-la imponere_fw-la to_o put_v a_o man_n into_o a_o office_n or_o confer_v a_o dignity_n upon_o he_o endure_v personam_fw-la to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n sustinere_fw-la personam_fw-la to_o bear_v a_o office_n or_o execute_v a_o office_n deponere_fw-la personam_fw-la to_o

inconsistence_n nothing_o absurd_a or_o strange_a in_o it_o for_o the_o same_o man_n to_o sustain_v divers_a person_n either_o successive_o or_o at_o the_o same_o time_n or_o divers_a person_n to_o meet_v in_o the_o same_o man_n according_a to_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a notion_n of_o the_o word_n person_n a_o man_n may_v at_o the_o same_o time_n sustain_v the_o person_n of_o a_o king_n and_o of_o a_o father_n if_o invest_v with_o regal_a and_o paternal_a authority_n and_o these_o authority_n may_v be_v subordinate_a one_o to_o another_o and_o he_o may_v according_o act_n sometime_n as_o a_o king_n and_o sometime_o as_o a_o father_n thus_o tully_n who_o well_o understand_v the_o propriety_n of_o latin_a word_n sustineo_fw-la unus_n tres_fw-la personas_fw-la meam_fw-la adversarii_fw-la judicis_fw-la i_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o man_n sustain_z three_o person_n that_o of_o my_o own_o that_o of_o my_o adversary_n and_o that_o of_o the_o judge_n and_o david_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n son_n of_o jesse_n father_n of_o solomon_n and_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o this_o take_v away_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o their_o objection_n which_o proceed_v upon_o this_o mistake_n as_o if_o three_o person_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n must_v needs_o imply_v three_o men._n 6._o now_o if_o three_o person_n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n person_n may_v be_v one_o man_n what_o hinder_v but_o that_o three_o divine_a person_n in_o a_o sense_n metaphorical_a may_v be_v one_o god_n what_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o same_o god_n consider_v as_o the_o maker_n and_o sovereign_n of_o all_o the_o world_n may_v be_v god_n the_o creator_n or_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o same_o god_n consider_v as_o to_o his_o special_a care_n of_o mankind_n as_o the_o ruthour_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v god_n the_o redeemer_n or_o god_n the_o son_n and_o the_o same_o god_n as_o work_v effectual_o on_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o elect_n be_v god_n the_o sanctifier_n or_o god_n the_o holy-ghost_n and_o what_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o same_o god_n distinguish_v according_a to_o these_o three_o consideration_n may_v fit_o be_v say_v to_o be_v three_o person_n or_o if_o the_o word_n person_n do_v not_o please_v three_o somewhat_n that_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o full_a and_o clear_a solution_n of_o that_o objection_n which_o they_o will_v have_v to_o be_v think_v insuperable_a objection_n v._n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v object_v further_o why_o must_v we_o needs_o make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n person_n and_o call_v they_o three_o person_n if_o three_o somewhat_n will_v serve_v as_o well_o i_o answer_v first_o we_o have_v no_o such_o need_n of_o the_o word_n person_n but_o that_o we_o can_v spare_v it_o hypostasis_fw-la will_v serve_v our_o turn_n as_o well_o and_o if_o they_o think_v the_o latin_a word_n persona_fw-la be_v not_o a_o good_a translation_n of_o the_o greek_a hypostasis_fw-la let_v they_o retain_v the_o greek_a word_n we_o mean_v the_o same_o by_o both_o and_o then_o perhaps_o they_o will_v find_v themselves_o at_o a_o loss_n to_o fasten_v some_o of_o their_o objection_n upon_o the_o word_n hypostasis_fw-la which_o they_o will_v fasten_v upon_o persona_fw-la 2._o but_o second_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v thus_o far_o agree_v that_o these_o three_o somewhat_n thus_o consider_v may_v be_v one_o god_n i_o see_v not_o why_o they_o shall_v contend_v with_o we_o about_o the_o name_n person_n for_o this_o be_v only_o to_o quarrel_v about_o a_o word_n or_o name_n when_o the_o notion_n be_v agree_v 3._o if_o it_o be_v admit_v which_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n for_o that_o the_o word_n person_n do_v not_o fit_o express_v that_o notion_n which_o it_o be_v intend_v to_o design_n the_o most_o that_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o it_o be_v but_o that_o we_o have_v not_o give_v it_o so_o fit_a a_o name_n and_o to_o cavil_v at_o that_o when_o the_o notion_n intend_v by_o it_o be_v understand_v be_v just_a as_o if_o one_o shall_v argue_v there_o never_o be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o who_o they_o call_v pope_n pius_n because_o the_o man_n who_o be_v so_o call_v be_v not_o a_o pious_a man._n 4._o but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o word_n person_n shall_v not_o be_v think_v a_o very_a fit_a word_n for_o this_o purpose_n for_o two_o of_o these_o three_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n under_o the_o name_n of_o father_n and_o son_n and_o this_o son_n as_o beget_v of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o these_o name_n be_v not_o to_o be_v quarrel_v with_o but_o all_o this_o in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n for_o no_o man_n can_v suppose_v that_o this_o father_n do_v so_o beget_v this_o son_n as_o these_o word_n do_v proper_o signify_v among_o man_n now_o the_o relation_n of_o father_n and_o son_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n be_v such_o as_o be_v proper_o denote_v by_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la in_o its_o proper_a acceptation_n and_o consequent_o the_o father_n and_o son_n in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n may_v by_o a_o continuation_n of_o the_o same_o metaphor_n be_v fit_o call_v person_n in_o that_o metaphorical_a sense_n and_o in_o what_o sense_n they_o be_v father_n and_o son_n in_o a_o like_a sense_n they_o be_v person_n according_a to_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o latin_a word_n persona_fw-la for_o such_o relative_n the_o latin_n call_v personas_fw-la and_o if_o the_o father_n and_o son_n may_v fit_o be_v so_o call_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v so_o call_v also_o as_o one_o proceed_v or_o come_v forth_o 〈◊〉_d

i_o shall_v name_v but_o one_o objection_n more_o which_o when_o i_o have_v satisfy_v i_o shall_v conclude_v for_o this_o time_n that_o 6_o the_o objection_n and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a one_o be_v this_o the_o trinitarian_n do_v not_o all_o agree_v but_o differ_v among_o themselves_o in_o express_v their_o notion_n in_o this_o matter_n very_o well_o and_o do_v not_o the_o antitrinitarian_n differ_v much_o more_o do_v not_o the_o arian_n and_o the_o socinian_n differ_v as_o much_o from_o one_o another_o as_o either_o of_o they_o do_v from_o we_o and_o declare_v that_o they_o so_o do_v and_o do_v not_o the_o arian_n among_o themselves_o and_o the_o socinian_o among_o themselves_o differ_v more_o than_o do_v the_o trinitarian_n certain_o they_o do_v it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o different_a man_n as_o well_o in_o the_o same_o as_o in_o different_a age_n have_v very_o different_o express_v themselves_o according_a to_o their_o different_a sentiment_n of_o personality_n and_o of_o the_o particular_a distinction_n of_o the_o three_o person_n among_o themselves_o but_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o most_o obvious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n as_o in_o time_n place_n space_n motion_n and_o the_o like_a we_o be_v all_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o we_o all_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o we_o mean_v by_o those_o word_n till_o we_o be_v ask_v but_o if_o we_o be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o express_v ourselves_o concern_v any_o of_o they_o what_o it_o be_v whether_o a_o thing_n or_o nothing_o or_o not_o a_o thing_n or_o somewhat_o of_o a_o thing_n and_o what_o that_o somewhat_o be_v it_o will_v be_v long_o enough_o before_o we_o shall_v all_o agree_v to_o express_v ourselves_o just_a in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o so_o clear_o as_o that_o no_o man_n who_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o cavil_v can_v find_v occasion_n so_o to_o do_v i_o may_v say_v the_o like_a of_o heat_n and_o cold_a of_o light_n sight_n and_o colour_n of_o smell_v and_o test_n and_o the_o different_a sort_n of_o they_o can_v we_o never_o be_v s●id_v to_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o the_o fire_n do_v burn_v and_o consume_v the_o woo●_n till_o we_o be_v all_o agree_v what_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o those_o fiery_a atom_n and_o what_o their_o motion_n and_o from_o what_o impulse_n which_o enter_v the_o pore_n of_o ●he_n wood_n and_o separate_v its_o part_n and_o convert_v some_o of_o they_o to_o smoke_n some_o to_o flame_n and_o ●●me_n to_o ash_n and_o which_o to_o which_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n all_o this_o be_v do_v what_o a_o folly_n than_o be_v it_o to_o require_v that_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v all_o so_o agree_v as_o to_o express_v our_o thought_n just_a in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o do_v in_o the_o most_o obvious_a thing_n we_o meet_v with_o and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o wherein_o to_o express_v our_o notion_n we_o have_v no_o word_n but_o figurative_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a that_o one_o man_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o one_o metaphor_n and_o another_o of_o another_o according_a as_o their_o several_a fancy_n serve_v but_o thus_o far_o i_o think_v the_o orthodox_n be_v all_o agree_v that_o between_o these_o three_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n great_a than_o that_o of_o what_o we_o call_v the_o divine_a attribute_n but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v three_o go_n and_o this_o distinction_n they_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o denote_v by_o the_o word_n hypostasis_fw-la or_o person_n they_o be_v also_o all_o agree_v that_o one_o of_o these_o person_n namely_o the_o son_n or_o the_o word_n be_v incarnate_a or_o make_a flesh_n and_o do_v take_v to_o himself_o our_o humane_a nature_n but_o as_o to_o the_o particular_a modes_n or_o manner_n how_o either_o how_o these_o two_o nature_n be_v unite_v or_o how_o these_o three_o person_n be_v distinguish_v each_o from_o other_o we_o may_v be_v content_a to_o be_v ignorant_a far_o than_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o reveal_v to_o we_o we_o know_v that_o our_o immortal_a soul_n be_v join_v with_o a_o humane_a body_n so_o as_o to_o make_v one_o man_n without_o cease_v that_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o this_o to_o be_v a_o body_n but_o it_o be_v hard_a for_o we_o to_o say_v how_n and_o according_o we_o say_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n without_o cease_v to_o be_v man_n and_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n without_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n be_v one_o christ_n but_o what_o kind_n of_o union_n this_o be_v which_o we_o call_v hypostatical_a we_o do_v not_o thorough_o understand_v we_o know_v also_o that_o the_o father_n be_v say_v to_o beget_v the_o son_n to_o be_v beget_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v but_o neither_o do_v we_o full_o understand_v the_o import_n of_o these_o word_n nor_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o we_o shall_v but_o so_o far_o as_o be_v say_v before_o we_o do_v all_o agree_v and_o we_o may_v safe_o rest_v there_o now_o to_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n
