you_o from_o the_o father_n even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v testify_v of_o me._n where_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o

be_v this_o the_o trinitarian_n do_v not_o all_o agree_v but_o differ_v among_o themselves_o in_o express_v their_o notion_n in_o this_o matter_n very_o well_o and_o do_v not_o the_o antitrinitarian_n

of_o the_o particular_a distinction_n of_o the_o three_o person_n among_o themselves_o but_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o most_o obvious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n as_o in_o time_n place_n space_n motion_n and_o the_o like_a we_o be_v all_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o we_o all_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o we_o mean_v by_o those_o word_n till_o we_o be_v ask_v but_o if_o we_o be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o express_v ourselves_o concern_v any_o of_o they_o what_o it_o be_v whether_o a_o thing_n or_o nothing_o or_o not_o a_o thing_n or_o somewhat_o of_o a_o thing_n and_o what_o that_o somewhat_o be_v it_o will_v be_v long_o enough_o before_o we_o shall_v all_o agree_v to_o express_v ourselves_o just_a in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o so_o clear_o as_o that_o no_o man_n who_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o cavil_v can_v find_v occasion_n so_o to_o do_v i_o may_v say_v the_o like_a of_o heat_n and_o cold_a of_o light_n sight_n and_o colour_n of_o smell_v and_o test_n and_o the_o different_a sort_n of_o they_o can_v we_o never_o be_v s●id_v to_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o the_o fire_n do_v burn_v and_o consume_v the_o woo●_n till_o we_o be_v all_o agree_v what_o be_v the_o

that_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v all_o so_o agree_v as_o to_o express_v our_o thought_n just_a in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o do_v in_o the_o most_o obvious_a thing_n we_o meet_v with_o and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o wherein_o to_o express_v our_o notion_n we_o have_v no_o word_n but_o figurative_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a that_o one_o man_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o one_o metaphor_n and_o another_o of_o another_o according_a as_o their_o several_a fancy_n serve_v but_o thus_o far_o i_o think_v the_o orthodox_n be_v all_o agree_v that_o between_o these_o three_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n great_a than_o that_o of_o what_o we_o call_v the_o divine_a attribute_n but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v three_o go_n and_o this_o distinction_n they_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o denote_v by_o the_o word_n hypostasis_fw-la or_o person_n they_o be_v also_o all_o agree_v that_o one_o of_o these_o person_n namely_o the_o son_n or_o the_o word_n be_v incarnate_a or_o make_a flesh_n and_o do_v take_v to_o himself_o our_o humane_a nature_n but_o as_o to_o the_o particular_a modes_n or_o manner_n how_o either_o how_o these_o two_o nature_n be_v unite_v or_o how_o these_o three_o person_n be_v distinguish_v each_o from_o other_o we_o may_v be_v content_a to_o be_v ignorant_a far_o than_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o reveal_v to_o we_o we_o know_v that_o our_o immortal_a soul_n be_v join_v with_o a_o humane_a body_n so_o as_o to_o make_v one_o man_n without_o cease_v that_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o this_o to_o be_v a_o body_n but_o it_o be_v hard_a for_o we_o to_o say_v how_n and_o according_o we_o say_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n without_o cease_v to_o be_v man_n and_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n without_o cease_v to_o be_v
