and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o wise_a thing_n he_o can_v do_v what_o be_v the_o thousand_o jacobite_n story_n he_o talk_v of_o p._n 1_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o now_o he_o be_v or_o be_v not_o a_o jacobite_n whether_o he_o have_v or_o have_v not_o be_v or_o whether_o sometime_o he_o have_v and_o sometime_o have_v not_o be_v nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n if_o he_o will_v still_o insist_v upon_o it_o that_o if_o a_o person_n be_v a_o mind_n a_o spirit_n a_o substance_n then_o three_o person_n must_v be_v three_o distinct_a mind_n spirit_n and_o substance_n p._n 18._o as_o distinct_a as_o adam_n and_o abel_n though_o not_o separate_v p._n 20._o he_o know_v it_o will_v not_o be_v allow_v he_o because_o mind_n spirit_n substance_n be_v in_o their_o proper_a signification_n absolute_a but_o person_n in_o its_o proper_a signification_n be_v a_o relative_n term._n if_o dr._n sherlock_n be_v dean_n of_o paul_n s_o dean_n of_o windsor_n and_o dean_n of_o westminster_n shall_v we_o thence_o argue_v that_o since_o a_o dean_n be_v a_o man_n a_o animal_n a_o substance_n therefore_o because_o of_o three_o distinct_a substantial_a deanery_n they_o be_v or_o he_o be_v three_o distinct_a man_n three_o distinct_a animal_n and_o three_o distinct_a substance_n i_o think_v not_o because_o man_n animal_n substance_n be_v term_n absolute_a but_o dean_n be_v relative_n and_o the_o same_o absolute_a be_v may_v admit_v without_o be_v multiply_v many_o relative_n predicate_v i_o shall_v rather_o say_v that_o dr._n sherlock_n will_v in_o such_o case_n sustain_v three_o person_n without_o be_v three_o man_n three_o animal_n or_o three_o substance_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o sabellianism_n for_o though_o dean_n of_o paul_n be_v a_o relative_n name_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o empty_a name_n but_o do_v import_v a_o substantial_a dignity_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o relation_n and_o a_o substantial_a man_n as_o the_o subject_a of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o other_o relation_n and_o this_o have_v be_v tell_v he_o so_o often_o that_o we_o can_v think_v the_o dean_n so_o dull_a as_o not_o to_o apprehend_v the_o distinction_n but_o so_o wilful_a as_o that_o he_o scorn_v to_o own_v it_o but_o will_v still_o have_v we_o think_v that_o mind_n spirit_n person_n be_v term_n equivalent_a and_o therefore_o jumble_v they_o together_o as_o such_o which_o will_v not_o be_v admit_v or_o if_o they_o be_v equivalent_a why_o can_v he_o content_v himself_o with_o what_o be_v general_o receive_v three_o person_n but_o must_v impose_v upon_o we_o his_o new_a term_n of_o three_o distinct_a mind_n three_o distinct_a spirit_n and_o three_o distinct_a substance_n but_o scorn_v and_o flounce_a will_v not_o carry_v it_o off_o the_o consequence_n will_v hold_v more_o strong_o thus_o if_o a_o infinite_a eternal_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v god_n then_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a eternal_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v three_o go_n for_o here_o the_o term_n be_v all_o absolute_a not_o relative_n and_o if_o to_o maintain_v obstinate_o that_o there_o be_v three_o god_n that_o be_v three_o eternal_a infinite_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v not_o heresy_n what_o be_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o but_o a_o new_a trick_n to_o play_v the_o game_n into_o the_o socinian_n hand_n by_o grant_v to_o they_o their_o darling_n notion_n that_o to_o affirm_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n to_o be_v three_o person_n of_o which_o each_o be_v god_n be_v the_o same_o as_o to_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v three_o go_n which_o we_o must_v not_o allow_v if_o st._n hilary_n have_v sometime_o call_v they_o tres_fw-la substantias_fw-la he_o may_v know_v that_o substantia_fw-la be_v at_o that_o time_n a_o ambiguous_a term_n and_o take_v sometime_o as_o the_o latin_a word_n for_o hypostasis_fw-la and_o sometime_o for_o ousia_fw-la for_o which_o reason_n the_o latin_n be_v for_o some_o time_n shy_a of_o admit_v the_o term_n hypostasis_fw-la lest_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o imply_v the_o same_o with_o substantia_fw-la in_o the_o same_o sense_n with_o ousia_fw-la and_o he_o may_v have_v understand_v from_o his_o own_o citation_n p._n 38._o that_o by_o substance_n be_v there_o mean_v subsistence_n tres_fw-fr substantias_fw-la esse_fw-la dixerunt_fw-la subsistentium_fw-la personas_fw-la per_fw-la substantias_fw-la edocentes_fw-la that_o be_v by_o his_o own_o translation_n they_o say_v there_o be_v three_o substance_n mean_v thereby_o three_o subsist_v person_n but_o when_o as_o now_o for_o some_o age_n it_o be_v agree_v for_o prevention_n of_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o one_o sense_n to_o say_v substance_n and_o in_o the_o other_o subsistence_n it_o be_v not_o now_o the_o same_o to_o call_v they_o three_o substance_n in_o contradistinction_n to_o three_o subsistence_n as_o than_o it_o be_v while_o the_o word_n be_v use_v ambiguous_o in_o both_o sense_n this_o i_o suppose_v may_v satisfy_v you_o so_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o vicechancellor_n and_o head_n of_o house_n if_o it_o will_v not_o satisfy_v dr._n sherlock_n let_v he_o and_o the_o animadverter_n dispute_v it_o out_o you_o etc._n etc._n
