in_o one_o kind_n or_o other_o according_o substance_n upon_o union_n be_v not_o confound_v or_o identify_v or_o bring_v to_o unity_n of_o substance_n but_o continue_v numerical_o distinct_a substance_n acquire_v some_o community_n or_o communication_n of_o operation_n namely_o of_o such_o action_n and_o passion_n as_o they_o be_v respective_o capable_a of_o let_v we_o consider_v instance_n of_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o chief_a union_n that_o be_v know_v to_o we_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v two_o substance_n real_o distinct_a and_o in_o close_a union_n with_o one_o another_o but_o notwithstanding_o this_o they_o continue_v distinct_a substance_n under_o that_o union_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o humane_a soul_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o union_n with_o the_o logos_fw-la or_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n which_o we_o call_v a_o hypostatical_a union_n but_o neither_o do_v this_o union_n make_v any_o unity_n of_o substance_n for_o the_o two_o substance_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n continue_v distinct_a under_o that_o union_n which_o must_v not_o be_v allow_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n where_o there_o can_v be_v no_o plurality_n or_o multiplicity_n of_o substance_n the_o learned_a author_n do_v acknowledge_v p._n 87_o 97._o that_o these_o three_o substance_n if_o they_o be_v separate_v will_v be_v three_o god_n but_o be_v inseparate_a and_o inseparable_a they_o make_v but_o one._n this_o be_v again_o uneasy_a to_o conceive_v that_o substance_n real_o distinct_a shall_v not_o be_v separable_a for_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o substance_n be_v of_o that_o which_o may_v subsist_v by_o itself_o and_o what_o mark_n have_v we_o of_o separability_n but_o real_a distinction_n thing_n that_o be_v only_a modally_n or_o notional_o distinct_a we_o allow_v can_v subsist_v separate_a but_o if_o they_o be_v real_o distinct_a as_o substance_n why_o may_v they_o not_o be_v separate_v real_o when_o we_o have_v prove_v the_o real_a distinction_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n as_o two_o substance_n we_o think_v we_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n to_o assert_v the_o separability_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n and_o from_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o assert_v the_o part_n of_o matter_n to_o be_v separable_a as_o be_v real_o distinct_a substance_n let_v their_o union_n be_v otherwise_o what_o it_o will_n for_o if_o our_o faculty_n be_v true_a what_o thing_n we_o clear_o conceive_v real_o distinct_a ut_fw-la res_fw-la &_o res_fw-la may_v possible_o be_v separate_v clear_a and_o distinct_a conception_n be_v to_o we_o the_o rule_n of_o partibility_n but_o however_o suppose_v if_o you_o please_v this_o union_n indissoluble_a this_o do_v not_o change_v it_o into_o unity_n if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v make_v to_o be_v in_o perpetual_a conjunction_n with_o matter_n as_o some_o platonist_n affirm_v that_o do_v not_o make_v matter_n and_o the_o soul_n one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n nor_o matter_n cease_v to_o be_v matter_n or_o the_o soul_n a_o spirit_n so_o if_o you_o suppose_v these_o three_o divine_a substance_n to_o be_v under_o a_o indissoluble_a union_n that_o do_v not_o make_v they_o cease_v to_o be_v three_o substance_n but_o it_o make_v they_o three_o substance_n in_o a_o indissoluble_a union_n what_o the_o learned_a author_n say_v concern_v matter_n and_o extension_n may_v be_v return_v upon_o he_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o godhead_n p._n 80._o l._n 9_o 10._o he_o suppose_v extension_n to_o consist_v of_o part_n if_o they_o be_v only_o assignable_a part_n whether_o they_o can_v be_v divide_v or_o not_o so_o say_v we_o according_a to_o this_o opinion_n the_o godhead_n may_v consist_v of_o several_a substance_n if_o they_o be_v only_o assignable_a substance_n whether_o they_o can_v be_v divide_v or_o not_o and_o you_o may_v as_o distinct_o assign_v by_o your_o understanding_n three_o substance_n in_o the_o godhead_n that_o of_o the_o father_n that_o of_o the_o son_n and_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o you_o may_v assign_v three_o part_n in_o a_o physical_a atom_n by_o a._n b._n c._n last_o there_o be_v no_o substance_n lose_v or_o destroy_v in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o union_n dissoluble_a or_o indissoluble_a therefore_o as_o to_o substance_n they_o be_v the_o same_o whether_o in_o conjunction_n or_o separation_n we_o come_v unto_o the_o three_o character_n pag._n 50._o 166._o 258._o see_v also_o p._n 93._o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v three_o infinite_a mind_n or_o three_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o god_n this_o rise_v still_o high_o than_o the_o former_a as_o to_o its_o vnconceivableness_n it_o seem_v to_o say_v and_o unsay_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o the_o same_o breath_n a_o infinite_a spirit_n be_v complete_o a_o god_n as_o to_o essence_n and_o attribute_n therefore_o three_o such_o be_v three_o go_n omnis_fw-la mens_fw-la infinitè_fw-fr perfecta_fw-la est_fw-la deus_fw-la tres_fw-la sunt_fw-la mentes_fw-la infinitè_fw-fr perfectae_fw-la ergo_fw-la tres_fw-la sunt_fw-la dii_fw-la where_o be_v the_o four_o of_o this_o syllogism_n this_o character_n seem_v to_o assert_v three_o infinite_n whereas_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n which_o stand_v at_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o any_o be_v yet_o very_o tender_a and_o cautious_a in_o give_v the_o number_n three_o to_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o person_n it_o will_v not_o allow_v three_o eternal_o nor_o three_o incomprehensibles_fw-fr nor_o three_o almighty_n but_o three_o infinite_n include_v all_o these_o a_o infinite_a spirit_n as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v a_o god_n i_o mean_v infinite_a in_o perfection_n as_o our_o author_n do_v and_o three_o spirit_n whereof_o each_o be_v infinite_a in_o perfection_n be_v three_o god_n as_o three_o creature_n whereof_o each_o be_v a_o rational_a animal_n be_v three_o men._n both_o these_o proposition_n go_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n namely_o that_o the_o definition_n and_o the_o thing_n define_v be_v reciprocal_a and_o of_o the_o same_o extent_n now_o as_o we_o have_v no_o better_a definition_n of_o a_o man_n than_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rational_a animal_n so_o neither_o have_v we_o a_o better_a definition_n of_o a_o god_n than_o that_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a and_o as_o so_o many_o animal_n rational_a so_o many_o man_n so_o likewise_o so_o many_o spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a so_o many_o go_n i_o speak_v this_o according_a to_o the_o use_n of_o our_o faculty_n for_o what_o the_o true_a and_o precise_a state_n of_o thing_n be_v in_o themselves_o when_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v infinite_a nature_n i_o do_v not_o presume_v to_o determine_v but_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v we_o may_v safe_o determine_v that_o in_o such_o case_n where_o our_o faculty_n be_v at_o a_o loss_n the_o safe_a way_n be_v to_o keep_v close_o to_o revelation_n and_o the_o word_n of_o scripture_n and_o that_o be_v the_o conclusion_n i_o drive_v at_o last_o to_o put_v a_o plain_a question_n which_o will_v come_v into_o every_o one_o mind_n here_o be_v three_o spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a either_o they_o be_v god_n or_o they_o be_v creature_n they_o must_v be_v one_o of_o the_o two_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a we_o describe_v a_o absolute_a complete_a entire_a be_v which_o must_v be_v of_o some_o denomination_n either_o a_o god_n or_o a_o creature_n for_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o a_o middle_a nature_n betwixt_o these_o possible_o they_o will_v answer_v this_o by_o a_o distinction_n namely_o that_o they_o be_v three_o god_n consider_v separately_z but_o consider_v collective_o and_o in_o union_n they_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o see_v they_o can_v be_v real_o separate_v it_o will_v be_v improper_a to_o call_v they_o three_o go_n but_o pray_v why_o not_o as_o proper_o three_o god_n as_o three_o infinite_a spirit_n see_v these_o term_n a_o spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a and_o a_o god_n be_v term_n equivalent_a or_o identical_a what_o partiality_n be_v it_o then_o to_o allow_v the_o one_o and_o not_o the_o other_o and_o if_o these_o infinite_a spirit_n be_v inseparable_a why_o do_v you_o grant_v the_o number_n three_o to_o that_o name_n and_o not_o to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n see_v they_o be_v both_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o equal_o inseparable_a we_o observe_v before_o that_o this_o learned_a author_n be_v liberal_a in_o his_o three_o three_o intelligent_a being_n three_o infinite_a mind_n three_o holy_a spirit_n three_o divine_a glory_n three_o majesty_n but_o not_o three_o king_n it_o be_v the_o name_n it_o seem_v be_v scruple_v rather_o than_o the_o thing_n sir_n i_o will_v add_v no_o more_o upon_o these_o head_n but_o will_v consider_v now_o the_o grand_a principle_n which_o be_v design_v to_o take_v off_o all_o these_o difficulty_n and_o that_o be_v mutual_a consciousness_n whereby_o all_o these_o three_o be_v make_v one_o and_o reduce_v to_o a_o perfect_a numerical_a unity_n i_o need_v not_o spend_v
