believe_v no_o man_n can_v tell_v what_o it_o be_v for_o how_o can_v such_o actual_a sensation_n be_v imagine_v to_o be_v union_n as_o well_o may_v the_o use_n of_o sense_n its_o self_n speak_v of_o

a_o natural_a external_a union_n it_o follow_v indeed_o that_o he_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o out_o in_o his_o mind_n and_o design_n but_o he_o nevertheless_o leave_v it_o out_o of_o his_o book_n and_o therefore_o say_v not_o enough_o there_o to_o salve_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n but_o aught_o to_o have_v insist_v upon_o somewhat_o prior_n to_o mutual_a consciousness_n as_o constituent_v

a_o most_o intimate_a natural_a necessary_a eternal_a union_n of_o the_o sacred_a three_o if_o the_o enquirer_n speak_v sincere_o as_o he_o understand_v the_o matter_n and_o he_o and_o it_o evident_o

far_o add_v be_v much_o stranger_n and_o yet_o herein_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o put_v charity_n towards_o he_o to_o the_o utmost_a stretch_n as_o he_o profess_v to_o have_v do_v his_o understanding_n for_o he_o say_v as_o far_o as_o he_o can_v possible_o understand_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v better_o inform_v though_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v that_o former_a displeasure_n darken_v his_o understanding_n and_o even_o dim_v his_o eyesight_n which_o yet_o i_o hope_v have_v its_o more_o lucid_a interval_n and_o that_o his_o distemper_n be_v not_o a_o fix_a habit_n with_o he_o and_o what_o be_v it_o now_o that_o he_o can_v possible_o understand_v otherwise_o that_o no_o other_o union_n will_v satisfy_v he_o viz._n the_o enquirer_n but_o such_o a_o union_n of_o three_o spiritual_a being_n and_o individual_a nature_n as_o by_o their_o composition_n constitute_v the_o godhead_n as_o the_o composition_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n do_v the_o man_n i._n e._n he_o can_v understand_v but_o he_o mean_v what_o he_o express_o deny_v who_o can_v help_v so_o cross_a a_o understanding_n if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v his_o very_a finger_n upon_o the_o place_n where_o the_o enquirer_n say_v in_o express_a word_n i_o peremptory_o deny_v all_o composition_n in_o the_o be_v of_o god_n this_o have_v be_v more_o excusable_a 34._o 90._o beside_o much_o say_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n elsewhere_o it_o have_v be_v ingenuous_a in_o any_o man_n not_o to_o impute_v that_o to_o another_o as_o his_o meaning_n which_o in_o the_o plain_a term_n he_o disavow_v as_o none_o of_o his_o meaning_n and_o it_o have_v be_v prudent_a in_o the_o dean_n or_o his_o defender_n of_o all_o mankind_n not_o to_o have_v do_v so_o in_o the_o present_a case_n as_o will_v further_o be_v see_v in_o due_a time_n but_o he_o take_v it_o for_o a_o affront_n when_o he_o fancy_v a_o man_n to_o come_v too_o near_o he_o he_o add_v for_o this_o reason_n he_o dispute_v

he_o be_v in_o write_v about_o it_o in_o no_o disposition_n to_o jest_n but_o it_o be_v say_v he_o dispute_v against_o the_o universal_a absolute_a omnimodous_a simplicity_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o hope_v the_o defender_n in_o this_o mean_n honest_o but_o he_o speak_v very_o improper_o for_o it_o suppose_v he_o to_o think_v that_o the_o universal_a absolute_a omnimodous_a

his_o disputation_n tend_v to_o prove_v it_o not_o to_o belong_v if_o he_o viz._n the_o defender_n or_o the_o dean_n do_v real_o think_v it_o do_v they_o or_o he_o must_v be_v very_o singular_a in_o
