time_n in_o tell_v you_o what_o the_o author_n mean_v by_o mutual_a consciousness_n nor_o how_o he_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o present_a case_n you_o know_v they_o both_o sufficient_o but_o methinks_v this_o vnitive_a principle_n be_v defective_o express_v by_o the_o word_n consciousness_n for_o bare_a consciousness_n without_o consent_n be_v no_o more_o than_o bare_a omnisciency_n as_o god_n be_v conscious_a of_o all_o our_o thought_n good_a or_o bad_a and_o of_o all_o the_o devil_n thought_n without_o union_n as_o without_o consent_n if_o a_o good_a and_o bad_a angel_n be_v make_v mutual_o conscious_a of_o one_o another_o mind_n they_o will_v not_o thereupon_o become_v one_o be_v still_o of_o different_a will_n and_o inclination_n it_o may_v be_v the_o author_n will_v say_v consciousness_n involve_v consent_v as_o he_o say_v knowledge_n involve_v power_n or_o be_v the_o same_o with_o it_o but_o beside_o that_o i_o can_v well_o reconcile_v the_o author_n to_o himself_o in_o this_o point_n see_v p._n 9_o l._n 3_o 4._o compare_v with_o p._n 72._o i_o have_v give_v you_o instance_n in_o a_o former_a letter_n to_o the_o contrary_n to_o which_o you_o may_v add_v if_o you_o please_v this_o further_a consideration_n if_o knowledge_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o power_n then_o actual_a conception_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o actual_a execution_n and_o if_o so_o than_o you_o and_o i_o may_v sit_v quiet_o in_o our_o study_n and_o with_o our_o thought_n and_o pen_n build_v palace_n and_o take_v town_n and_o city_n for_o we_o know_v the_o method_n of_o both_o and_o can_v distinct_o conceive_v they_o and_o delineate_v they_o and_o as_o these_o be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o we_o so_o neither_o can_v we_o conceive_v they_o in_o all_o respect_n the_o same_o in_o god_n for_o from_o all_o eternity_n god_n have_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o produce_v it_o therefore_o if_o god_n conception_n or_o knowledge_n have_v be_v the_o same_o with_o his_o power_n the_o world_n have_v be_v produce_v from_o eternity_n but_o to_o proceed_v let_v we_o give_v this_o principle_n its_o full_a strength_n consciousness_n and_o consent_n they_o will_v not_o together_o make_v a_o perfect_a unity_n of_o operation_n in_o the_o deity_n much_o less_o of_o substance_n we_o note_v before_o that_o unity_n and_o union_n be_v different_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v more_o apparent_a now_o when_o three_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v unite_v into_o one._n for_o how_o that_o can_v be_v do_v without_o some_o sort_n of_o composition_n be_v a_o unconceivable_a mystery_n you_o may_v indeed_o conceive_v these_o three_o spirit_n single_o and_o separately_z as_o simple_a being_n but_o if_o you_o conceive_v these_o three_o simple_a being_n unite_a into_o one_o without_o annihilation_n of_o any_o one_o that_o one_o must_v be_v a_o compound_v be_v according_a to_o our_o conception_n then_o as_o to_o unity_n of_o operation_n beside_o the_o energy_n peculiar_a to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n this_o author_n allow_v p._n 67._o that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o three_o mind_n notwithstanding_o their_o union_n have_v some_o distinct_a consciousness_n not_o common_a to_o the_o other_o two_o therefore_o the_o godhead_n which_o consist_v of_o these_o three_o mind_n can_v be_v one_o as_o a_o single_a mind_n be_v one_o where_o there_o be_v a_o entire_a community_n and_o sameness_n of_o consciousness_n in_o all_o operation_n in_o my_o opinion_n if_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v press_v to_o speak_v out_o the_o plain_a language_n of_o it_o will_v be_v this_o there_o be_v three_o divine_a substance_n three_o holy_a spirit_n infinite_o perfect_a and_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n three_o god_n but_o for_o some_o reason_n not_o fit_a to_o be_v call_v so_o these_o three_o being_n by_o similitude_n of_o nature_n mutual_a consciousness_n consent_n cooperation_n be_v under_o the_o great_a union_n possible_a and_o in_o that_o state_n of_o union_n do_v constitute_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o entire_a all_o comprehensive_a godhead_n this_o i_o confess_v book_n something_a like_o a_o conceivable_a thing_n but_o the_o christian_a trinity_n do_v not_o use_v to_o be_v represent_v thus_o for_o this_o amount_n to_o no_o more_o than_o a_o kind_n of_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o three_o divine_a spirit_n sir_n i_o will_v trouble_v you_o no_o further_o upon_o the_o first_o general_a head_n the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o equality_n of_o the_o person_n which_o i_o will_v dispatch_v in_o a_o few_o word_n the_o first_o argument_n against_o their_o equality_n may_v be_v this_o pag._n 99_o l._n 29._o etc._n etc._n the_o father_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d self-existent_a self-originated_n whereas_o the_o other_o two_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d existent_a and_o originated_a from_o another_o now_o this_o can_v but_o make_v according_a to_o our_o faculty_n not_o only_o some_o difference_n but_o also_o some_o inequality_n for_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a perfection_n to_o be_v self-originated_n and_o what_o be_v not_o so_o be_v not_o equal_a to_o that_o which_o be_v so_o you_o will_v say_v possible_o though_o the_o son_n and_o holy-ghost_n be_v produce_v of_o the_o father_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o creature_n be_v produce_v that_o be_v by_o a_o voluntary_a external_n act_n but_o this_o by_o a_o internal_a necessary_a and_o emanative_a act._n we_o will_v allow_v your_o distinction_n and_o admit_v that_o the_o son_n and_o holy-ghost_n have_v a_o different_a origin_n from_o that_o of_o common_a creature_n but_o this_o do_v not_o remove_v the_o difficulty_n it_o show_v indeed_o a_o great_a difference_n and_o inequality_n betwixt_o any_o of_o the_o divine_a person_n and_o bare_a creature_n but_o it_o do_v not_o show_v any_o equality_n among_o the_o divine_a person_n themselves_o it_o be_v true_a the_o dependence_n which_o a_o creature_n have_v upon_o the_o creator_n for_o its_o be_v be_v of_o another_o kind_n and_o degree_n from_o that_o of_o the_o son_n or_o holy-ghost_n but_o however_o they_o be_v derivative_a being_n in_o some_o way_n or_o other_o and_o dependent_a upon_o the_o father_n and_o we_o can_v but_o conceive_v some_o inequality_n betwixt_o a_o original_a and_o a_o derivative_a a_o dependent_a and_o independent_a be_v second_o that_o act_n whereby_o the_o son_n be_v generate_v by_o the_o father_n be_v some_o energy_n and_o perfection_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o energy_n of_o the_o high_a perfection_n because_o the_o result_n of_o it_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a be_v that_o can_v any_o way_n be_v produce_v or_o the_o noble_a and_o great_a product_n in_o thing_n creation_n or_o that_o energy_n that_o produce_v a_o creature_n have_v not_o a_o term_n or_o effect_v so_o noble_a or_o so_o great_a as_o that_o energy_n whereby_o the_o son_n be_v generate_v and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o perfection_n to_o create_v a_o world_n as_o to_o generate_v the_o divine_a logos_fw-la this_o be_v so_o there_o be_v you_o see_v not_o only_o self-origination_a in_o the_o father_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o son_n but_o also_o a_o active_a perfection_n of_o the_o high_a degree_n possible_a in_o the_o one_o which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v in_o either_o respect_n conceive_v these_o two_o being_n equal_a beside_o if_o you_o make_v they_o all_o three_o equal_a and_o all_o infinite_a they_o will_v be_v coordinate_a i_o mean_v internal_o &_o as_o to_o perfection_n of_o nature_n for_o external_n subordination_n as_o to_o oeconomy_n signify_v nothing_o in_o this_o case_n and_o be_v no_o more_o one_a than_o three_o individual_n of_o the_o same_o species_n be_v one_o that_o be_v than_o peter_n james_n and_o john_n be_v or_o may_v be_v one._n and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o tritheite_n or_o very_o near_o it_o last_o you_o may_v please_v to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o various_a sentiment_n and_o expression_n of_o
