most_o famous_a divine_n acknowledge_v it_o we_o know_v it_o essential_a to_o all_o change_n to_o have_v two_o different_a term_n one_o of_o which_o be_v destroy_v and_o the_o other_o produce_v and_o

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n pray_v sir_n now_o inform_v i_o how_o to_o accord_v all_o this_o with_o the_o principle_n which_o pass_v for_o unquestionable_a in_o metaphysic_n to_o wit_n that_o if_o two_o

which_o be_v most_o distinct_a in_o themselves_o be_v not_o at_o all_o from_o the_o essence_n which_o be_v common_a to_o they_o what_o can_v you_o say_v in_o this_o demonstration_n when_o two_o

which_o they_o possess_v then_o they_o differ_v not_o real_o from_o one_o another_o you_o will_v grant_v i_o that_o this_o be_v a_o physical_a demonstration_n and_o otherwise_o evident_a than_o those_o call_v moral_a may_v i_o not_o then_o apply_v to_o the_o trinity_n the_o first_o proof_n you_o have_v use_v against_o transubstantiation_n and_o say_v that_o if_o this_o mystery_n make_v
