exact_o conform_v it_o to_o the_o generation_n and_o procession_n of_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o reason_n upon_o this_o parallel_n in_o his_o 3_o letter_n page_n 38._o be_v this_o if_o such_o a_o trinity_n can_v be_v form_v in_o gross_a corporeal_n much_o more_o may_v we_o expect_v it_o possible_a in_o spiritual_n now_o i_o say_v not_o to_o suppose_v this_o simile_n altogether_o impertinent_a as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o be_v in_o our_o case_n for_o our_o debate_n be_v not_o whether_o there_o may_v not_o be_v three_o person_n in_o god_n but_o whether_o many_o personal_a god_n will_v not_o necessary_o break_v the_o first_o commandment_n i_o say_v therefore_o to_o suppose_v the_o first_o commandment_n be_v not_o break_v by_o many_o personal_a god_n yet_o this_o simile_n be_v most_o absurd_a for_o it_o be_v of_o commensuration_n or_o relation_n and_o not_o of_o a_o body_n as_o he_o will_v insinuate_v it_o be_v of_o a_o mere_a chimaera_n or_o idea_n not_o a_o quality_n and_o much_o less_o a_o corporiety_n or_o substance_n but_o to_o state_n his_o cube_n therefore_o more_o to_o his_o purpose_n for_o he_o to_o wit_n a_o cube_n of_o marble_n generate_a hardness_n and_o both_o produce_v coldness_n i_o say_v in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v three_o cube_n more_o for_o he_o and_o those_o real_a one_o too_o that_o be_v of_o substance_n and_o quality_n and_o yet_o in_o such_o case_n they_o will_v all_o be_v distinct_a cube_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o cube_n that_o be_v a_o cube_n of_o hardness_n another_o of_o coldness_n and_o another_o of_o corporiety_n and_o yet_o all_o three_o but_o one_o cube_n of_o marble_n i_o say_v to_o put_v his_o simile_n from_o chimaera_n to_o being_n yet_o what_o parity_n can_v we_o make_v between_o the_o unity_n of_o substance_n with_o quality_n and_o the_o unity_n of_o person_n together_o the_o doctor_n forget_v that_o personation_n be_v the_o great_a perfection_n of_o be_v and_o that_o different_a personation_n be_v answerable_o the_o great_a perfection_n of_o quality_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o never_o can_v apprehend_v any_o other_o real_a unity_n than_o personation_n and_o the_o high_a this_o personation_n arise_v the_o more_o distinct_a i_o always_o apprehend_v it_o thus_o one_o man_n one_o angel_n and_o one_o god_n and_o if_o the_o doctor_n have_v find_v a_o more_o perfect_a real_a and_o proper_a unity_n than_o that_o let_v he_o discover_v it_o and_o not_o cite_v a_o mean_a to_o prove_v it_o the_o doctor_n shall_v rather_o therefore_o have_v propose_v some_o monster_n bear_v with_o three_o head_n but_o that_o i_o conceive_v he_o will_v have_v see_v to_o have_v be_v too_o gross_a to_o have_v impose_v upon_o the_o world_n not_o i_o mean_v that_o i_o think_v he_o seek_v to_o impose_v the_o other_o neither_o for_o i_o be_o persuade_v of_o his_o sincerity_n in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v but_o i_o take_v the_o freedom_n to_o represent_v my_o argument_n so_o for_o its_o more_o
