already_o to_o this_o person_n relate_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o section_n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v upon_o it_o 1._o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o due_a awe_n of_o the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o mind_n can_v give_v himself_o leave_v to_o use_v such_o a_o expression_n as_o tack_v two_o person_n to_o god_n the_o father_n i_o scruple_v a_o while_n whether_o i_o may_v foul_a my_o pen_n with_o transcribe_v it_o 2._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a than_o to_o say_v that_o the_o 3._o person_n be_v one_o god_n by_o union_n and_o yet_o be_v distinct_a from_o one_o another_o but_o be_v there_o no_o difference_n betwixt_o union_n and_o identity_n or_o self_n samenef_n be_v there_o not_o a_o real_a distinction_n between_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n though_o unite_v so_o close_o as_o that_o he_o can_v conceive_v how_o close_o nor_o any_o man_n else_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o union_n be_v but_o another_o word_n for_o composition_n i_o shall_v say_v he_o be_v extreme_o out_o composition_n be_v a_o blending_a or_o mix_v of_o the_o part_n of_o distinct_a thing_n the_o word_n be_v common_o use_v only_o of_o heterogeneous_a thing_n spiritual_a substance_n therefore_o have_v no_o part_n be_v incapable_a of_o be_v compound_v and_o in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n though_o a_o man_n consist_v of_o a_o soul_n and_o body_n he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v compound_v of_o they_o because_o only_o one_o of_o these_o have_v part_n our_o author_n it_o be_v like_a will_v cry_v mystery_n mystery_n to_o this_o talk_n as_o he_o despise_v trinitarian_n for_o call_v the_o union_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n a_o mystery_n but_o if_o even_o to_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o create_a being_n himself_n consist_v of_o he_o can_v serious_o cry_v mystery_n i_o know_v what_o i_o know_v of_o he_o i_o will_v not_o say_v every_o witty_a man_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a every_o wise_a man_n will_v cry_v mystery_n to_o every_o thing_n as_o ill_o as_o some_o can_v bear_v that_o word_n i_o confess_v no_o man_n shall_v persuade_v i_o any_o more_o than_o he_o and_o his_o friend_n to_o swallow_v a_o palpable_a contradiction_n by_o call_v it_o a_o mystery_n till_o he_o can_v persuade_v i_o too_o that_o god_n almighty_a endue_v i_o with_o false_a faculty_n and_o then_o do_v what_o i_o can_v i_o be_o like_a to_o believe_v but_o few_o thing_n more_o than_o cogito_fw-la ergo_fw-la sum._n but_o i_o be_o as_o certain_a as_o i_o can_v be_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o i_o see_v or_o feel_v that_o it_o be_v not_o more_o difficult_a to_o understand_v this_o union_n than_o abundance_n of_o other_o thing_n relate_v to_o the_o deity_n and_o innumerable_a thing_n which_o our_o author_n must_v believe_v in_o spite_n of_o fate_n if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o christian_n or_o a_o theist_n or_o but_o a_o man._n s_n 68_o he_o hear_v banter_n the_o real_a trinitarian_n as_o do_v very_o wise_o in_o suppose_v their_o three_o infinite_a substance_n to_o be_v as_o close_v together_o as_o can_v be_v lest_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v room_n enough_o for_o they_o in_o but_o one_o infinite_a space_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o he_o inquire_v if_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n be_v every_o where_o how_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o son_n can_v be_v every_o where_o too_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o little_a close_o upon_o this_o gentleman_n for_o the_o strange_a liberty_n he_o take_v in_o talk_v of_o infinite_a substance_n as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v do_v with_o his_o section_n than_o i_o have_v be_v yet_o or_o will_v now_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o will_v be_v satisfy_v to_o reply_v thus_o to_o this_o section_n viz._n do_v not_o this_o kind_n of_o talk_n suppose_v that_o he_o take_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n if_o he_o think_v two_o of_o they_o be_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v corporeal_a substance_n which_o be_v so_o gross_a a_o conceit_n and_o speak_v such_o beastly_a stupidity_n that_o i_o will_v charge_v no_o man_n therewith_o who_o do_v not_o express_o own_v it_o but_o hope_v he_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o be_v of_o spiritual_a substance_n nor_o of_o the_o divine_a omnipresence_n i_o ask_v he_o how_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n the_o father_n can_v be_v in_o those_o space_n which_o be_v fill_v with_o body_n or_o how_o can_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n or_o that_o part_n of_o his_o body_n which_o his_o soul_n possess_v if_o his_o philosophy_n will_v permit_v he_o to_o think_v it_o do_v not_o pervade_v the_o whole_a of_o his_o body_n how_o can_v they_o be_v i_o say_v in_o the_o selfsame_a place_n or_o ubi_fw-la call_v it_o which_o he_o please_v sure_o one_o will_v think_v that_o several_a spirit_n may_v be_v together_o in_o the_o same_o individual_a space_n see_v the_o penetrability_n of_o spirit_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o that_o believe_v there_o be_v such_o substance_n except_o they_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o notion_n of_o what_o they_o believe_v as_o well_o as_o that_o a_o spirit_n and_o a_o impenetrable_a body_n may_v be_v together_o in_o the_o same_o space_n as_o to_o his_o add_v and_o after_o the_o same_o

for_o this_o for_o certain_a be_v one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o our_o mind_n be_v never_o make_v for_o any_o thing_n like_o a_o clear_a perception_n of_o at_o least_o in_o these_o gross_a body_n and_o much_o more_o than_o as_o he_o will_v be_v show_v anon_o be_v the_o infinity_n of_o the_o divine_a substance_n to_o be_v reckon_v of_o that_o number_n and_o he_o be_v a_o intolerable_o conceit_a fop_n who_o will_v not_o confess_v so_o much_o ignorance_n as_o to_o have_v no_o other_o idea_n of_o god_n infinity_o than_o that_o he_o have_v all_o possible_a perfection_n and_o that_o all_o his_o perfection_n be_v unlimited_a and_o we_o be_v at_o a_o perfect_a loss_n what_o to_o say_v or_o think_v further_o about_o the_o divine_a essence_n nay_o we_o have_v now_o no_o cognizance_n of_o more_o than_o the_o mode_n and_o property_n of_o bodily_a substance_n we_o have_v none_o at_o all_o of_o its_o naked_a essence_n all_o we_o can_v say_v of_o body_n as_o body_n be_v that_o it_o be_v extend_v penetrable_a bulk_n sect._n 69._o he_o say_v 1._o that_o the_o trinitarian_n say_v the_o person_n be_v one_o god_n as_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v one_o man_n and_o then_o he_o expose_v the_o folly_n of_o that_o simile_n but_o he_o may_v have_v save_v himself_o this_o little_a labour_n for_o as_o i_o never_o say_v so_o so_o neither_o know_v i_o of_o any_o other_o trinitarian_n that_o have_v the_o creed_n indeed_o which_o be_v call_v the_o athenasian_n say_v that_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v one_o man_n so_o god_n and_o man_n be_v one_o christ_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o his_o purpose_n but_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v that_o the_o union_n between_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v not_o more_o unaccountable_a than_o be_v the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o that_o in_o one_o respect_v it_o be_v less_o unaccountable_a than_o this_o union_n viz._n because_o this_o be_v between_o being_n of_n perfect_o unlike_a nature_n whereas_o that_o be_v between_o person_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o why_o distinct_a intelligent_a substance_n which_o be_v the_o only_a definition_n i_o can_v give_v of_o person_n may_v not_o be_v as_o close_o unite_v because_o they_o be_v all_o intelligent_a as_o one_o intelligent_a substance_n and_o a_o body_n be_v above_o the_o little_a philosophy_n that_o i_o can_v pretend_v to_o be_v master_n of_o to_o understand_v 2._o upon_o the_o simile_n of_o the_o close_a union_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o its_o light_n and_o heat_n as_o he_o word_v it_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o perception_n as_o those_o we_o call_v light_n and_o heat_n in_o any_o being_n but_o those_o that_o be_v capable_a of_o see_v and_o feel_n and_o that_o this_o every_o common_a systeme_n demonstrate_v and_o that_o
