where_o the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n be_v point_v unto_o then_o it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n there_o the_o second_o person_n be_v at_o three_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o

scripture_n do_v avouch_v a_o plain_a distinction_n of_o person_n as_o we_o say_v a_o trinity_n in_o unity_n &_o a_o unity_n in_o trinity_n father_n yet_o i_o can_v by_o any_o reason_n discern_v but_o if_o every_o person_n be_v god_n then_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v three_o god_n child_n we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o case_n consult_v with_o reason_n but_o simple_o believe_v the_o scripture_n though_o we_o can_v comprehend_v by_o humane_a reason_n the_o manner_n or_o rather_o mystery_n of_o this_o matter_n for_o it_o far_o exceed_v all_o humane_a reach_n and_o capacity_n father_n be_v not_o one_o person_n in_o trinity_n great_a than_o a_o other_o as_o the_o father_n great_a than_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n great_a than_o the_o holy_a ghost_n child_n no_o for_o the_o person_n be_v coequal_a coeternal_a and_o coessential_a father_n how_o understand_v you_o that_o word_n coessential_a which_o the_o learned_a call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d child_n the_o person_n in_o

three_o apple_n grow_v together_o in_o one_o and_o such_o like_a but_o because_o they_o be_v indeed_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o simple_a essence_n therefore_o the_o person_n of_o the_o deity_n can_v without_o blasphemy_n be_v say_v to_o be_v only_o coherent_a together_o in_o substance_n or_o only_o of_o like_a substance_n father_n be_v it_o not_o necessary_a that_o christian_n shall_v be_v well_o ground_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n child_n yes_o very_o for_o many_o error_n and_o heresy_n have_v grow_v

do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o god_n also_o create_v the_o angel_n child_n yes_o 16._o they_o also_o be_v the_o work_n of_o his_o finger_n father_n when_o do_v he_o create_v they_o child_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o sun_n because_o they_o be_v of_o a_o more_o thin_a agile_a airy_a and_o invisible_a nature_n father_n can_v a_o angel_n be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o once_o child_n no_o but_o in_o a_o
