be_v and_o bring_v as_o a_o proof_n of_o this_o that_o text_n of_o isai_n 53._o who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n but_o then_o upon_o second_o thought_n lest_o the_o people_n shall_v laugh_v at_o their_o inconstancy_n they_o themselves_o revoke_v this_o second_o creed_n and_o strive_v to_o get_v in_o all_o the_o copy_n of_o it_o and_o procure_v a_o edict_n from_o the_o emperor_n which_o threaten_v all_o those_o that_o shall_v detain_v they_o now_o indeed_o we_o may_v see_v here_o a_o very_a foolish_a inconstancy_n in_o these_o heretic_n and_o that_o they_o have_v a_o very_a ill_a hand_n at_o make_v creed_n to_o oblige_v all_o the_o world_n under_o the_o pain_n of_o a_o anathema_n to_o believe_v such_o a_o thing_n at_o one_o time_n and_o the_o next_o day_n to_o disbelieve_v it_o themselves_o but_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o orthodox_n faith_n which_o stand_v always_o firm_a and_o unchangeable_a after_o the_o author_n have_v be_v spit_v his_o venom_n against_o the_o union_n of_o the_o three_o person_n he_o now_o begin_v to_o do_v the_o same_o against_o the_o union_n of_o christ_n divinity_n with_o his_o humanity_n for_o he_o will_v have_v that_o upon_o supposition_n there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o same_o individual_a nature_n that_o either_o the_o nestorian_a or_o the_o eutychian_a doctrine_n be_v the_o true_a for_o say_v he_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n imaginable_a in_o reason_n either_o christ_n must_v be_v two_o person_n because_o he_o have_v two_o such_o different_a nature_n or_o he_o must_v have_v but_o one_o nature_n because_o he_o be_v but_o one_o person_n but_o for_o all_o our_o author_n haste_n why_o can_v we_o imagine_v a_o three_o way_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v two_o nature_n and_o but_o one_o person_n this_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o imagine_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a as_o reasonable_a too_o for_o first_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o he_o have_v two_o nature_n he_o must_v be_v two_o person_n for_o nature_n and_o personality_n be_v not_o reciprocal_a term_n for_o there_o may_v be_v two_o or_o three_o or_o more_o nature_n where_o there_o be_v but_o one_o person_n the_o athanasian_n creed_n most_o excellent_o express_v this_o as_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o flesh_n be_v one_o man_n so_o god_n and_o man_n be_v one_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o sensitive_a nature_n in_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rational_a there_o be_v the_o rational_a soul_n one_o distinct_a substance_n unite_v to_o the_o body_n another_o distinct_a substance_n and_o yet_o these_o two_o so_o distinct_a nature_n be_v but_o one_o person_n now_o what_o more_o contradiction_n do_v it_o imply_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o personal_a union_n between_o divinity_n and_o humanity_n than_o there_o do_v between_o rationality_n and_o sensibility_n if_o there_o be_v any_o more_o difficulty_n in_o one_o than_o the_o other_o it_o be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o former_a the_o union_n of_o the_o divinity_n with_o the_o humanity_n there_o be_v a_o union_n of_o two_o reasonable_a nature_n which_o be_v distinct_a person_n of_o themselves_o as_o all_o rational_a individual_n be_v and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v as_o distinct_a person_n after_o the_o union_n as_o before_o but_o why_o so_o if_o they_o be_v unite_v they_o be_v not_o distinct_a for_o all_o union_n be_v a_o negation_n of_o distinction_n or_o division_n two_o single_a piece_n or_o pound_n of_o gold_n be_v two_o distinct_a substance_n or_o body_n but_o if_o these_o be_v unite_v by_o melt_v down_o into_o one_o they_o be_v still_o two_o pound_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v but_o one_o individual_a body_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o union_n of_o all_o other_o body_n well_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o union_n of_o spirit_n or_o rational_a being_n yet_o it_o be_v something_o for_o if_o spirit_n be_v unite_v they_o must_v follow_v the_o law_n of_o union_n as_o well_o as_o other_o being_n if_o they_o be_v unite_v they_o must_v be_v one_o in_o something_o for_o to_o be_v one_o in_o nothing_o be_v no_o union_n at_o all_o now_o in_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divinity_n with_o the_o humanity_n wherein_o possible_o can_v their_o oneness_n consist_v but_o only_o in_o their_o personality_n their_o nature_n be_v most_o certain_o distinct_a for_o god_n be_v one_o nature_n and_o man_n be_v another_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v one_o in_o any_o thing_n it_o must_v be_v in_o their_o personality_n upon_o this_o union_n they_o acquire_v a_o oneness_n which_o they_o have_v not_o before_o and_o as_o the_o two_o distinct_a pound_n of_o gold_n upon_o their_o melt_a become_v one_o individual_a piece_n which_o be_v the_o oneness_n they_o gain_v so_o the_o divinity_n and_o humanity_n upon_o their_o union_n gain_v one_o individual_a personality_n which_o be_v the_o oneness_n they_o acquire_v well_o but_o here_o be_v two_o rational_a nature_n unite_v which_o must_v have_v two_o reason_n and_o two_o will_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v two_o person_n it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o because_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n and_o two_o will_n there_o must_v therefore_o be_v two_o person_n any_o more_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o man_n be_v three_o live_a creature_n from_o the_o union_n of_o the_o vegetative_a the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o rational_a soul_n in_o his_o nature_n for_o as_o the_o subordination_n of_o these_o soul_n one_o to_o another_o make_v he_o but_o one_o vivens_fw-la so_o the_o subordination_n of_o these_o rational_a nature_n one_o to_o the_o other_o make_v they_o but_o

person_n he_o shall_v be_v but_o one_o nature_n because_o nature_n and_o person_n be_v not_o reciprocal_a term_n and_o because_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o more_o nature_n may_v be_v unite_v into_o one_o person_n for_o it_o be_v the_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n that_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o humanity_n so_o that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o personality_n than_o what_o he_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o yet_o he_o have_v another_o nature_n than_o what_o he_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n because_o he_o likewise_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n which_o he_o have_v not_o from_o eternity_n but_o take_v it_o upon_o he_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n though_o he_o still_o continue_v one_o

and_o this_o without_o any_o change_n but_o only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o subsist_v which_o be_v before_o in_o the_o pure_a glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o in_o the_o

and_o thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v answer_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a in_o this_o chapter_n and_o i_o can_v very_o willing_o have_v do_v with_o it_o but_o only_o because_o it_o may_v

represent_v the_o matter_n of_o eutyches_n which_o i_o must_v not_o pass_v over_o without_o a_o little_a reflection_n he_o will_v insinuate_v that_o eutyches_n be_v first_o

the_o centre_n of_o a_o world_n from_o this_o consideration_n he_o can_v imagine_v that_o our_o great_a creator_n shall_v be_v so_o greedy_a of_o a_o little_a of_o our_o corrupt_a breath_n as_o to_o

who_o buy_v vile_a ware_n and_o pay_v for_o it_o infinite_o more_o than_o it_o be_v worth_a indeed_o i_o have_v hardly_o patience_n to_o answer_v this_o abominable_a blasphemy_n to_o see_v a_o foolish_a philosopher_n thus_o horrid_o to_o affront_v his_o creator_n and_o in_o this_o witless_a buffonery_n to_o ridicule_n the_o infinite_a satisfaction_n of_o his_o bless_a redeemer_n because_o he_o can_v make_v it_o agree_v with_o his_o system_fw-la of_o physics_n but_o pray_v let_v he_o consider_v that_o we_o do_v not_o think_v the_o dignity_n of_o our_o nature_n or_o the_o beauty_n of_o

far_o above_o any_o the_o most_o glorious_a inanimate_a be_v that_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o the_o immortal_a soul_n of_o one_o man_n be_v of_o more_o dignity_n than_o all_o the_o corporeal_a

that_o the_o author_n think_v there_o be_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o world_n all_o stock_v with_o rational_a creature_n of_o it_o may_v be_v much_o more_o dignity_n than_o we_o so_o that_o it_o

declaration_n have_v be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o most_o early_a time_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o assert_v any_o such_o declaration_n yet_o such_o a_o silence_n especial_o consider_v the_o compendious_a way_n of_o write_v in_o the_o author_n of_o these_o book_n can_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o form_n use_v by_o they_o or_o that_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v do_v not_o give_v a_o express_a assent_n to_o and_o belief_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a they_o be_v baptize_v with_o a_o form_n of_o word_n which_o do_v imply_v that_o doctrine_n viz._n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o unless_o we_o will_v suppose_v that_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o name_n which_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v which_o we_o can_v suppose_v any_o reasonable_a man_n shall_v they_o must_v understand_v the_o meaning_n and_o

to_o know_v who_o they_o be_v if_o they_o be_v jew_n they_o will_v by_o this_o be_v afraid_a of_o run_v into_o the_o gentile_a polytheism_n and_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v well_o instruct_v in_o this_o matter_n for_o fear_v of_o idolatry_n if_o they_o be_v gentile_a convert_v to_o hear_v this_o form_n without_o any_o far_a instruction_n they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v this_o be_v but_o to_o keep_v in_o their_o own_o religion_n still_o and_o only_o to_o retrench_v the_o number_n of_o their_o god_n from_o 300_o to_o 3_o which_o will_v be_v still_o as_o much_o contradiction_n to_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o conversion_n as_o their_o former_a tenet_n so_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v explain_v this_o form_n of_o baptism_n to_o all_o that_o
