the_o spirit_n search_v all_o 10._o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n it_o follow_v because_o he_o can_v be_v send_v as_o servant_n be_v by_o their_o master_n or_o ambassador_n by_o their_o lord_n since_o in_o that_o mission_n there_o be_v always_o some_o dependency_n there_o be_v a_o superior_a and_o inferior_a there_o be_v one_o major_a and_o one_o minor_a which_o can_v never_o be_v find_v in_o god_n it_o follow_v i_o say_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n he_o be_v send_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n it_o be_v because_o he_o proceed_v from_o both_o you_o may_v further_o urge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o antecedent_n appear_v by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n john_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v 13_o come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v hear_v that_o shall_v he_o speak_v and_o will_v show_v you_o thing_n to_o come_v from_o whence_o i_o thus_o argue_v first_o he_o that_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o suppose_v another_o distinct_a person_n from_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v instruction_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o therefore_o he_o suppose_v another_o distinct_a person_n from_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v instruction_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n because_o he_o that_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n can_v suppose_v any_o other_o person_n from_o who_o he_o shall_v receive_v instruction_n second_o he_o that_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v suppose_v another_o person_n speak_v distinct_a from_o he_o that_o hear_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v what_o he_o hear_v therefore_o he_o suppose_v another_o person_n speak_v distinct_a from_o he_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n because_o he_o that_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n can_v suppose_v any_o other_o person_n speak_v unto_o he_o from_o who_o he_o can_v receive_v instruction_n this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o major_a proposition_n of_o these_o two_o argument_n be_v clear_a and_o certain_a the_o minor_a be_v from_o st._n john_n therefore_o 13._o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n believe_v answ_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v he_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n however_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o he_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n but_o before_o i_o make_v it_o appear_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o god_n himself_o sometime_o for_o a_o divine_a quality_n sometime_o for_o a_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n first_o he_o be_v take_v for_o god_n himself_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n john_n 4._o 24._o for_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o a_o spirit_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v holy_a spirit_n and_o reciprocal_o he_o that_o be_v call_v holy_a spirit_n per_fw-la excellentiam_fw-la and_o without_o dependency_n be_v god_n for_o these_o term_n god_n and_o holy_a spirit_n be_v real_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o likewise_o these_o follow_v eternal_a lord_n creator_n conservator_n they_o differ_v only_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o different_a effect_n which_o we_o apply_v they_o to_o god_n be_v name_v eternal_a because_o he_o be_v without_o beginning_n and_o end_v be_v call_v lord_n because_o of_o his_o power_n over_o all_o thing_n creator_n because_o he_o make_v they_o of_o nothing_o and_o conservator_n because_o he_o keep_v they_o from_o return_v into_o nothing_o and_o he_o be_v call_v holy_a ghost_n per_fw-la excellentiam_fw-la because_o to_o speak_v proper_o none_o but_o he_o be_v true_o holy_a and_o because_o he_o receive_v his_o holiness_n from_o no_o body_n all_o other_o creature_n whatsoever_o have_v their_o holiness_n by_o communication_n and_o dependency_n in_o that_o sense_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n but_o only_o per_fw-la intellectum_fw-la or_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o definition_n which_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o eternal_a father_n be_v different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o eternal_a be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o creator_n for_o although_o it_o be_v real_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n yet_o our_o understanding_n conceive_v the_o eternal_a otherwise_o than_o the_o creator_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o eternal_a be_v a_o be_v without_o beginning_n and_o end_v and_o the_o creator_n be_v a_o first_o and_o independent_a cause_n who_o produce_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o therefore_o in_o that_o sense_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o proceed_v from_o he_o because_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v suppose_v at_o the_o same_o time_n exist_v and_o not_o exist_v exist_v because_o we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o not_o exist_v because_o in_o that_o instance_n of_o reason_n when_o we_o shall_v conceive_v it_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v exist_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n since_o there_o be_v no_o instance_n of_o reason_n wherein_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o true_a god_n not_o to_o be_v therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o aforementioned_a sense_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n second_o he_o be_v take_v for_o a_o divine_a quality_n as_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v unto_o those_o of_o antioch_n separate_a 2._o i_n barnabas_n and_o saul_n for_o the_o work_n whereunto_o i_o have_v call_v they_o we_o must_v conceive_v it_o be_v god_n who_o speak_v these_o word_n but_o because_o god_n do_v all_o this_o by_o that_o power_n within_o he_o which_o be_v his_o spirit_n therefore_o these_o word_n and_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o sense_n likewise_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o proceed_v from_o he_o three_o he_o be_v take_v for_o a_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o be_v evident_o prove_v by_o these_o text_n grieve_v not_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o 3._o god_n whereby_o you_o be_v seal_v unto_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n and_o by_o this_o to_o the_o roman_n the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v intercession_n 26._o for_o we_o

be_v certain_o a_o personal_a affection_n of_o which_o a_o quality_n be_v not_o capable_a we_o can_v understand_v what_o be_v a_o intercede_v person_n but_o we_o have_v no_o apprehension_n of_o

be_v ordinary_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o find_v the_o like_a expression_n which_o be_v proper_a unto_o person_n give_v unto_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v no_o person_n as_o when_o the_o

virtue_n of_o that_o charity_n which_o be_v in_o he_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n personal_a action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v no_o person_n but_o only_o the_o virtue_n power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n who_o be_v a_o person_n and_o do_v perform_v those_o personal_a action_n attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o virtue_n power_n and_o

to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o can_v be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o father_n as_o for_o example_n to_o make_v intercession_n be_v a_o

therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o holy_a catholic_n for_o as_o you_o say_v before_o to_o give_v the_o denomination_n of_o holy_a catholic_n to_o any_o church_n it_o be_v requisite_a she_o shall_v believe_v the_o whole_a christian_a faith_n as_o it_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n without_o any_o addition_n to_o or_o diminution_n from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n answ_n though_o that_o

of_o the_o 7._o first_o of_o st._n john_n there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o that_o consequence_n therefore_o be_v not_o good_a which_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o holy_a catholic_n because_o it_o believe_v in_o the_o trinity_n that_o word_n not_o be_v

matthew_n and_o john_n the_o trinity_n be_v there_o very_o clear_o express_v therefore_o etc._n etc._n but_o you_o may_v further_o urge_v that_o by_o the_o word_n trinity_n we_o mean_v three_o eternal_a and_o infinite_a person_n real_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o subsist_v in_o one_o nature_n numerical_o but_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o reason_n and_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n nor_o can_v be_v deduce_v from_o it_o by_o clear_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v right_o infer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o

first_o that_o the_o trinity_n be_v contrary_a to_o humane_a reason_n which_o be_v prove_v thus_o for_o as_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o humane_a reason_n that_o peter_n paul_n and_o john_n who_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n have_v but_o one_o nature_n numerical_o see_v that_o every_o person_n have_v its_o nature_n different_a from_o the_o other_a if_o not_o in_o specie_fw-la at_o lest_o numericè_fw-la and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o so_o it_o be_v centrary_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v three_o real_o distinct_a person_n and_o notwithstanding_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n numericè_fw-la which_o can_v be_v since_o from_o three_o person_n do_v natural_o follow_v three_o substance_n or_o nature_n which_o be_v prove_v thus_o person_n in_o god_n be_v either_o a_o be_v or_o nothing_o we_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o because_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n shall_v then_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o be_v if_o be_v either_o it_o be_v real_a or_o mental_a we_o can_v call_v it_o mental_a because_o sublato_fw-la intellectu_fw-la the_o person_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o it_o be_v a_o real_a be_v if_o real_a either_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n or_o a_o accident_n there_o be_v no_o medium_fw-la between_o substance_n and_o accident_n we_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o accident_n because_o we_o do_v not_o admit_v any_o in_o the_o godhead_n for_o the_o great_a absurdity_n which_o follow_v from_o thence_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o substance_n and_o if_o a_o substance_n since_o there_o be_v three_o real_o distinct_a person_n it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v also_o three_o real_o distinct_a substance_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n second_o that_o the_o trinity_n be_v neither_o find_v distinct_o nor_o in_o equivalent_a term_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v easy_o prove_v the_o former_a be_v without_o any_o contradiction_n for_o if_o you_o read_v over_o the_o holy_a scripture_n you_o shall_v no_o where_o find_v the_o word_n trinity_n and_o the_o latter_a be_v prove_v thus_o if_o the_o trinity_n be_v there_o in_o equivalent_a term_n it_o be_v either_o in_o this_o text_n go_v you_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o else_o in_o this_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o for_o though_o in_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_a mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o consequent_o of_o three_o person_n because_o the_o father_n be_v a_o person_n the_o son_n a_o person_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o person_n yet_o we_o can_v infer_v that_o these_o three_o person_n have_v but_o one_o nature_n or_o substance_n numericè_fw-la for_o although_o some_o infer_v it_o from_o that_o word_n in_o the_o name_n which_o be_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o convince_a since_o i_o may_v say_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v command_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o chancellor_n and_o yet_o though_o that_o word_n be_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n we_o can_v infer_v that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o chancellor_n have_v but_o one_o nature_n numericè_fw-la neither_o can_v the_o trinity_n be_v infer_v from_o these_o word_n of_o st._n john_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o because_o by_o that_o unity_n we_o may_v very_o well_o understand_v a_o unity_n of_o will_n agreement_n and_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o nature_n or_o substance_n so_o that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o to_o say_v these_o three_o be_v one_o in_o will_n do_v agree_v one_o with_o another_o what_o one_o will_v his_o the_o other_o will_v also_o and_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o word_n of_o st._n john_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n pray_v his_o father_n 21._o that_o we_o may_v be_v one_o as_o he_o be_v one_o with_o his_o father_n that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v do_v what_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v as_o he_o do_v what_o his_o father_n will_v have_v he_o to_o do_v every_o body_n may_v see_v clear_o that_o we_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v one_o in_o nature_n numericè_fw-la with_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n therefore_o we_o can_v infer_v by_o a_o clear_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v but_o one_o nature_n or_o substance_n numerice_n therefore_o the_o trinity_n be_v neither_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n distinct_o nor_o can_v be_v deduce_v from_o they_o by_o evident_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n first_o i_o answer_v thus_o i_o must_v confess_v with_o all_o learned_a man_n that_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v above_o humane_a reason_n that_o it_o can_v be_v comprehend_v in_o this_o world_n by_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o we_o may_v
