be_v the_o 62._o sabellian_o teach_v that_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n be_v the_o same_o so_o that_o there_o be_v three_o name_n in_o one_o person_n and_o as_o in_o a_o man_n there_o be_v

be_v the_o holy-ghost_n in_o the_o deity_n all_o the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o notion_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v that_o sabellius_n incline_v a_o little_a more_o to_o the_o epicurean_a and_o the_o doctor_n be_v to_o the_o platonic_a philosophy_n but_o both_o of_o they_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o truth_n and_o scripture_n nay_o the_o doctor_n be_v explication_n be_v the_o more_o sabellian_n of_o the_o two_o because_o his_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n be_v the_o more_o nominal_a for_o body_n soul_n and_o spirit_n be_v more_o distinct_a than_o mind_n reason_n and_o

of_o our_o author_n trinity_n which_o any_o vnitarian_n will_v not_o agree_v to_o mind_n reason_n and_o action_n why_o be_v not_o all_o these_o in_o every_o man_n and_o every_o rational_a be_v as_o
