of_o they_o a_o water_n one_o will_v understand_v you_o to_o mean_v they_o be_v all_o drop_n of_o so_o many_o different_a sort_n of_o water_n i_o do_v upon_o the_o whole_a judge_n the_o substance_n

insist_o upon_o as_o a_o mighty_a matter_n that_o this_o mean_v the_o enquirer_n hypothesis_n be_v heresy_n among_o those_o of_o his_o own_o party_n whether_o they_o be_v the_o nominal_a or_o the_o real_a trinitarian_n who_o all_o agree_v that_o each_o of_o the_o divine_a person_n be_v perfect_a god_n in_o the_o most_o adequate_a and_o perfect_a sense_n and_o this_o too_o as_o such_o person_n be_v consider_v sejunct_o or_o as_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n speak_v by_o himself_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o only_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o if_o this_o weigh_v any_o thing_n it_o ought_v in_o reason_n to_o be_v as_o heavy_a upon_o he_o as_o i_o for_o i_o believe_v the_o same_o people_n that_o will_v call_v this_o account_n of_o the_o trinity_n heresy_n will_v call_v his_o denial_n of_o it_o heresy_n much_o more_o but_o if_o he_o be_v not_o concern_v at_o that_o i_o be_o the_o more_o oblige_v to_o he_o that_o he_o have_v a_o kind_a concern_v for_o i_o than_o himself_o and_o if_o he_o real_o have_v let_v it_o ease_v his_o mind_n to_o know_v that_o let_v the_o opinion_n be_v heresy_n never_o so_o much_o i_o for_o my_o part_n be_o however_o resolve_v to_o be_v no_o heretic_n as_o he_o and_o they_o may_v well_o enough_o see_v by_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o that_o discourse_n but_o yet_o i_o humble_o crave_v leave_v to_o differ_v from_o he_o in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o in_o great_a matter_n i_o be_o apt_a enough_o indeed_o to_o think_v that_o the_o nominal_a trinitarian_n will_v judge_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o real_a trinitarian_n to_o want_v truth_n and_o the_o real_a will_n perhaps_o more_o true_o judge_v they_o to_o want_v sense_n but_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o will_v say_v that_o each_o of_o the_o divine_a person_n be_v perfect_a god_n in_o the_o most_o adequate_a and_o perfect_a sense_n for_o both_o can_v but_o agree_v that_o god_n in_o the_o most_o adequate_a and_o perfect_a sense_n include_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o they_o will_v none_o of_o they_o say_v that_o each_o or_o any_o of_o the_o person_n be_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a he_o that_o shall_v so_o represent_v they_o will_v betray_v they_o by_o it_o into_o such_o inconvenience_n and_o so_o much_o against_o their_o mind_n and_o intent_n that_o if_o ever_o they_o do_v trust_v he_o as_o i_o believe_v they_o never_o do_v this_o considerator_n to_o express_v their_o sense_n for_o they_o they_o never_o will_v do_v it_o more_o as_o for_o athanasius_n himself_o who_o creed_n he_o mention_n though_o he_o often_o speak_v of_o a_o equality_n of_o the_o person_n in_o point_n of_o godhead_n yet_o he_o also_o often_o tom._n 2._o p._n 576._o most_o express_o except_v the_o difference_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v very_o important_a of_o be_v unbegotten_a beget_v and_o proceed_v and_o which_o be_v a_o difference_n with_o a_o witness_n in_o his_o question_n and_o answer_n he_o ask_v how_o

how_o many_o effect_n or_o thing_n cause_v and_o answer_v two_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o add_v the_o father_n be_v call_v a_o cause_n because_o he_o beget_v the_o son_n and_o send_v out_o the_o spirit_n the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v say_v to_o be_v cause_v because_o the_o son_n be_v beget_v and_o do_v not_o beget_v the_o spirit_n be_v send_v forth_o and_o do_v not_o send_v now_o can_v he_o be_v think_v all_o this_o while_n to_o mean_v a_o absolute_a equality_n and_o whereas_o he_o use_v the_o term_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o our_o author_n render_v sejunct_o or_o by_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o seem_v opposite_a to_o what_o be_v say_v by_o the_o enquirer_n pag._n 50._o ay_o for_o my_o part_n say_v as_o athanasius_n do_v that_o each_o of_o these_o person_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d single_o god_n and_o lord_n but_o i_o say_v not_o as_o he_o do_v not_o and_o he_o deny_v what_o the_o sober_a enquiry_n deny_v in_o the_o mention_a place_n that_o any_o one_o of_o the_o person_n sejunct_o be_v all_o that_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n which_o word_n this_o author_n sly_o leave_v out_o for_o what_o purpose_n he_o best_a know_v but_o his_o purpose_n be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v can_v no_o long_o be_v serve_v by_o it_o than_o till_o the_o reader_n shall_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o cast_v back_o his_o eye_n upon_o pag._n 50._o of_o the_o sober_a enquiry_n and_o i_o must_v here_o put_v the_o considerator_n in_o mind_n of_o what_o i_o will_v not_o suppose_v he_o ignorant_a but_o inadvertent_n only_o at_o this_o
