a_o hypostatical_a or_o personal_a union_n then_o certain_o where_o two_o or_o more_o spirit_n be_v universal_o conscious_a to_o one_o another_o it_o must_v much_o more_o make_v they_o numerical_o one_o person_n or_o effect_v a_o hypostatical_a or_o personal_a union_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v universal_o conscious_a to_o one_o another_o be_v numerical_o one_o person_n and_o be_v hypostatical_o and_o personal_o unite_v but_o this_o every_o one_o know_v be_v heresy_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n which_o forbid_v we_o to_o confound_v the_o person_n three_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o partial_a mutual-consciousness_n in_o one_o of_o the_o spirit_n though_o the_o other_o be_v universal_o conscious_a be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o personal_a union_n or_o to_o make_v two_o or_o more_o person_n to_o be_v numerical_o one_o person_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o since_o universal_a mutual-consciousness_n be_v therefore_o say_v by_o the_o vindicator_n to_o make_v more_o spirit_n to_o be_v numerical_o one_o because_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o it_o amount_v to_o as_o much_o as_o and_o be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o selfconsciousness_n or_o self-unity_n of_o each_o spirit_n with_o itself_o for_o it_o make_v more_o spirit_n as_o conscious_a to_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o as_o numerical_o one_o as_o every_o spirit_n be_v to_o itself_o from_o hence_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o a_o mutual_a consciousness_n which_o be_v not_o universal_a in_o both_o spirit_n can_v effect_v a_o personal_a union_n or_o make_v they_o numerical_o one_o person_n because_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o one_o of_o these_o spirit_n the_o inferior_a nature_n or_o spirit_n have_v not_o such_o a_o mutual-consciousness_n with_o the_o other_o spirit_n as_o be_v equal_a to_o its_o own_o selfconsciousness_n which_o make_v it_o self-unity_n hitherto_o i_o have_v so_o argue_v as_o to_o suppose_v with_o the_o vindicator_n that_o such_o a_o mutual-consciousness_n as_o he_o have_v describe_v when_o it_o be_v universal_a may_v have_v the_o effect_n he_o suppose_v that_o be_v may_v effect_v a_o numerical_a oneness_n or_o unity_n and_o have_v only_o show_v that_o however_o it_o have_v several_a such_o heretical_a consequence_n that_o it_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v by_o he_o or_o any_o other_o for_o we_o have_v see_v it_o make_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n to_o be_v but_o one_o person_n because_o he_o say_v it_o make_v they_o as_o much_o one_o as_o each_o spirit_n person_n or_o man_n be_v one_o with_o himself_o also_o this_o hypothesis_n will_v do_v as_o much_o service_n to_o the_o transubstantiation_n as_o to_o the_o trinity_n for_o it_o will_v make_v as_o substantial_a and_o numerical_a a_o unity_n between_o the_o host_n and_o the_o body_n in_o heaven_n as_o between_o the_o three_o divine_a spirit_n far_o it_o destroy_v the_o hypostatical_a union_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o partial_a consciousness_n between_o the_o human_a and_o divine_a spirit_n in_o the_o lord_n christ_n can_v make_v a_o personal_a union_n or_o make_v they_o numerical_o one_o person_n because_o in_o his_o human_a spirit_n it_o be_v not_o equal_a to_o that_o selfconsciousness_n which_o the_o vindicator_n affirm_v to_o be_v the_o self-unity_n of_o every_o intelligent_a be_v but_o now_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o 4._o mutual_a consciousness_n notwithstanding_o the_o vindicator_n confident_a affirmation_n and_o frequent_a repetition_n of_o it_o do_v not_o indeed_o make_v the_o three_o divine_a person_n to_o be_v numerial_o one_o or_o so_o one_o as_o each_o spirit_n and_o every_o man_n be_v one_o with_o himself_o nay_o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o effect_v any_o real_a unity_n at_o all_o for_o though_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o suppose_v that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v mutual_o conscious_a by_o a_o internal_a sensation_n and_o that_o they_o be_v conscious_a to_o all_o the_o thought_n will_n and_o action_n of_o one_o another_o as_o each_o person_n of_o they_o and_o as_o every_o man_n be_v internal_o conscious_a to_o all_o his_o own_o thought_n and_o action_n all_o which_o he_o think_v must_v make_v they_o numerical_o one_o spirit_n and_o one_o god_n because_o in_o his_o opinion_n it_o amount_v to_o as_o much_o as_o and_o be_v equivalent_a to_o that_o selfconsciousness_n which_o be_v he_o say_v the_o self-unity_n of_o each_o spirit_n and_o every_o man_n with_o himself_o though_o i_o say_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o suppose_v thus_o much_o yet_o i_o shall_v mind_v he_o of_o a_o thing_n which_o will_v ruin_v his_o whole_a hypothesis_n even_o this_o that_o the_o three_o divine_a spirit_n or_o person_n though_o they_o be_v universal_o and_o internal_o conscious_a to_o one_o another_o yet_o because_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n conscious_a to_o one_o another_o thought_n and_o action_n as_o each_o spirit_n of_o they_o and_o each_o man_n be_v conscious_a to_o his_o own_o thought_n and_o action_n therefore_o the_o mutual-consciousness_n which_o he_o suppose_v they_o have_v can_v make_v they_o numerical_o one_o spirit_n or_o one_o god_n none_o of_o they_o be_v conscious_a to_o the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o other_o two_o as_o his_o own_o but_o as_o rise_n in_o and_o from_o the_o other_o person_n but_o each_o of_o these_o spirit_n and_o every_o man_n be_v conscious_a to_o his_o own_o thought_n and_o action_n as_o arise_v in_o and_o from_o himself_o from_o his_o own_o personal_a understanding_n will_n and_o power_n of_o action_n let_v i_o hear_v the_o vindicator_n say_v that_o the_o son_n for_o example_n know_v and_o feel_v the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o father_n and_o spirit_n not_o as_o the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o father_n and_o spirit_n but_o as_o his_o own_o personal_a thoaght_n and_o action_n or_o as_o originate_v in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o i_o will_v allow_v that_o such_o consciousness_n do_v look_v somewhat_o like_o a_o numerical_a oneness_n or_o unity_n but_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v to_o he_o that_o so_o to_o say_v be_v both_o heresy_n and_o a_o contradiction_n it_o be_v heretical_a because_o then_o the_o father_n be_v personal_a action_n of_o generation_n will_v be_v know_v and_o feel_v by_o the_o son_n as_o the_o action_n of_o the_o son_n that_o be_v the_o son_n will_v know_v and_o feel_v that_o he_o beget_v himself_o also_o the_o mutual_a love_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o image_n or_o son_n whereby_o as_o this_o athanasian_n doctor_n feign_v the_o holy_a spirit_n proceed_v from_o they_o will_v be_v know_v and_o feel_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o his_o own_o personal_a action_n not_o as_o the_o action_n of_o the_o father_n and_o son_n both_o which_o be_v heretical_a when_o affirm_v by_o any_o but_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v heresy_n it_o be_v also_o a_o contradiction_n it_o be_v just_a as_o much_o a_o contradiction_n as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o person_n and_o personal_n understanding_n of_o the_o son_n be_v the_o person_n and_o personal_n understanding_n of_o the_o father_n if_o we_o confound_v the_o person_n and_o personal_n thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n we_o confound_v also_o their_o personal_a understanding_n will_n and_o power_n of_o action_n if_o each_o person_n of_o they_o have_v his_o personal_a understanding_n will_n and_o power_n of_o action_n he_o have_v also_o his_o personal_a thought_n and_o action_n and_o consequent_o the_o son_n can_v feel_v the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o father_n as_o his_o own_o personal_a thought_n and_o action_n but_o as_o the_o thought_n and_o action_n of_o the_o father_n but_o if_o so_o all_o man_n must_v grant_v that_o such_o mutual-consciousness_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n neither_o be_v nor_o effect_v a_o numerical_a unity_n or_o any_o unity_n at_o all_o it_o can_v i_o say_v make_v they_o one_o spirit_n or_o one_o god_n but_o leave_v they_o as_o much_o three_o as_o other_o separate_a spirit_n or_o being_n be_v for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o consciousness_n as_o may_v be_v and_o actual_o be_v between_o the_o most_o opposite_a contrary_n and_o separate_a nature_n and_o spirit_n for_o all_o man_n be_v after_o this_o manner_n conscious_a both_o to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o to_o the_o tempter_n we_o be_v conscious_a to_o the_o suggestion_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o first_o and_o to_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o other_o by_o a_o internal_a consciousness_n nay_o by_o such_o a_o perfect_a intimate_a consciousness_n that_o we_o do_v not_o always_o discern_v they_o from_o our_o own_o personal_a thought_n or_o the_o motion_n and_o act_n of_o our_o own_o spirit_n which_o be_v somewhat_o a_o close_a consciousness_n than_o the_o vindicator_n have_v suppose_v or_o dare_v suppose_v between_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n and_o

else_o but_o their_o universal_a mutual-consciousness_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o entertain_v a_o gross_a material_a idea_n of_o the_o perichóresis_n as_o if_o the_o three_o distinct_a divine_a person_n be_v in_o one_o another_o by_o a_o mutual_a contract_n of_o part_n for_o they_o have_v no_o part_n the_o only_a union_n and_o perichóresis_n of_o mind_n and_o spirit_n be_v that_o they_o be_v conscious_a each_o to_o other_o thought_n and_o will_n as_o perfect_o and_o inward_o as_o to_o their_o own_o and_o thus_o also_o it_o be_v that_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v one_o god_n they_o be_v one_o god_n and_o in_o one_o another_o by_o perfect_a mutual-consciousness_n the_o vindicator_n often_o say_v that_o this_o explication_n of_o the_o trinity_n make_v a_o trinity_n in_o

can_v he_o make_v out_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o trinity_n no_o other_o way_n but_o as_o the_o creed_n speak_v by_o confound_v the_o person_n or_o by_o make_v they_o but_o one_o person_n i_o

mutual-consciousness_n can_v be_v a_o good_a explication_n of_o the_o pretend_v trinity_n because_o it_o will_v equal_o salve_v the_o most_o absurd_a doctrine_n of_o the_o transubstantiation_n for_o

know_v what_o be_v not_o to_o be_v know_v no_o goodness_n or_o justice_n can_v go_v beyond_o the_o measure_n that_o be_v can_v do_v excessive_a or_o unjust_a thing_n no_o power_n can_v do_v

for_o this_o be_v a_o chief_a reason_n why_o we_o ascribe_v to_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n and_o justice_n even_o because_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o at_o all_o that_o be_v excessive_a or_o unjust_a i_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o upon_o second_o thought_n the_o vindicator_n himself_o will_v discern_v that_o it_o be_v fil_o urge_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v not_o insinite_a because_o he_o can_v do_v unjust_a thing_n as_o for_o thing_n not_o knowable_a and_o not_o possible_a they_o be_v nullity_n and_o no_o more_o the_o object_n of_o wisdom_n and_o power_n or_o of_o any_o other_o faculty_n than_o thing_n uunjust_a be_v of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o vain_o and_o impertinent_o require_v that_o god_n shall_v know_v or_o do_v such_o thing_n by_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v unjust_a thing_n by_o his_o infinite_a justice_n but_o i_o will_v far_o tell_v this_o opposer_n of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n why_o it_o be_v say_v the_o goodness_n justice_n wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n be_v each_o of_o they_o infinite_a it_o be_v so_o say_v because_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o inexhaustible_a fountain_n of_o goodness_n and_o justice_n that_o be_v he_o have_v a_o indefectible_a propensity_n and_o a_o infinite_a inclination_n of_o do_v always_o and_o to_o all_o that_o which_o be_v just_a and_o good_a also_o

believe_v each_o of_o these_o being_n mind_n spirit_n person_n be_v god_n nay_o 〈◊〉_d of_o they_o single_o by_o himself_o be_v a_o god_n he_o grant_v and_o say_v at_o p._n 87_o and_o 97._o that_o if_o
