incarnation_n for_o this_o account_n will_v admit_v the_o personality_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v found_v first_o in_o the_o humane_a nature_n according_a to_o some_o of_o his_o lordship_n critic_n which_o he_o dare_v not_o contradict_v who_o place_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o sonship_n in_o the_o low_a nature_n this_o be_v strange_a when_o his_o lordship_n say_v a_o while_n after_o that_o divine_a person_n in_o who_o dwell_v the_o eternal_a 45._o pag._n 45._o word_n which_o make_v he_o as_o well_o a_o person_n before_o the_o incarnation_n as_o it_o do_v the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o by_o the_o eternal_a word_n be_v always_o understand_v the_o second_o person_n and_o since_o his_o lordship_n do_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v a_o divine_a person_n as_o also_o to_o be_v eternal_a i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n can_v imagine_v that_o his_o lordship_n do_v not_o teach_v any_o distinction_n in_o the_o godhead_n before_o the_o incarnation_n or_o that_o the_o personality_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o sonship_n be_v first_o place_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n since_o his_o call_v he_o the_o eternal_a word_n make_v he_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o father_n from_o all_o eternity_n as_o be_v second_o of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n and_o his_o style_v he_o a_o divine_a person_n suppose_v the_o personality_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v first_o found_v in_o the_o godhead_n for_o i_o shall_v have_v think_v have_v i_o not_o be_v prejudice_v by_o abundance_n of_o ill_a nature_n that_o christ_n can_v be_v call_v a_o divine_a person_n only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o flesh_n and_o not_o upon_o any_o account_n of_o his_o manhood_n for_o else_o there_o will_v be_v two_o person_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o the_o bishop_n can_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o divine_a person_n only_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o consequent_o so_o before_o he_o be_v incarnate_a because_o he_o be_v eternal_a in_o the_o bishop_n own_o expression_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v positive_o affirm_v that_o our_o author_n assertion_n that_o the_o bishop_n plain_a intention_n by_o these_o word_n be_v to_o place_n christ_n personality_n only_o in_o his_o manhood_n to_o be_v false_a and_o malicious_a yea_o but_o say_v our_o author_n this_o description_n of_o the_o bishop_n viz._n that_o by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n with_o christ_n humanity_n god_n and_o man_n true_o become_v one_o person_n will_v admit_v the_o patripassian_a heresy_n of_o but_o one_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n for_o if_o the_o eternal_a word_n be_v no_o person_n distinct_a from_o the_o father_n the_o union_n thereof_o with_o the_o humanity_n constitute_v the_o father_n a_o incarnate_a person_n or_o otherwise_o by_o this_o state_n of_o his_o lordship_n doctrine_n the_o father_n son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v conceive_v as_o one_o incarnate_a person_n how_o our_o critic_n come_v to_o think_v of_o this_o remark_n i_o can_v apprehend_v for_o i_o never_o yet_o meet_v with_o any_o man_n that_o think_v the_o eternal_a word_n mean_v the_o whole_a trinity_n but_o that_o when_o the_o eternal_a word_n or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v mention_v it_o be_v always_o understand_v of_o the_o second_o person_n and_o when_o we_o use_v that_o expression_n we_o always_o think_v we_o have_v explain_v ourselves_o as_o much_o as_o though_o we_o have_v use_v the_o name_n of_o though_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o bishop_n do_v seem_v so_o plain_o to_o mean_v this_o by_o it_o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n endue_v with_o reason_n can_v force_v another_o interpretation_n of_o it_o especial_o when_o his_o lordship_n in_o the_o very_a same_o page_n call_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n ●●_o pag._n ●●_o three_o person_n by_o name_n and_o show_v how_o far_o they_o be_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o which_o doctrine_n i_o presume_v be_v impossible_a ever_o to_o admit_v the_o patripassian_a heresy_n of_o but_o one_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n or_o to_o make_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v conceive_v as_o one_o incarnate_a person_n when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o bishop_n affirm_v they_o to_o be_v three_o person_n which_o i_o must_v leave_v to_o our_o author_n to_o reconcile_v nay_o in_o the_o same_o page_n he_o have_v person_n three_o time_n repeat_v which_o show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o either_o afraid_a or_o unwilling_a to_o use_v that_o expression_n as_o our_o author_n will_v have_v we_o believe_v beside_o that_o which_o he_o apply_v particular_o to_o the_o incarnate_a word_n and_o in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o he_o refer_v to_o the_o bless_a three_o 1._o he_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o name_n person_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o three_o 2._o he_o show_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o person_n when_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o three_o 3._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o explain_v he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o be_v will_v pretend_v to_o tell_v we_o how_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o in_o what_o respect_n these_o person_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v one_o and_o in_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v three_o now_o can_v any_o man_n after_o all_o this_o affirm_v that_o his_o lordship_n word_n will_v lead_v one_o to_o a_o conclusion_n or_o at_o least_o a_o fair_a jealousy_n that_o his_o lordship_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o distinction_n real_o personal_a between_o the_o father_n word_n and_o holy_a spirit_n but_o that_o the_o true_a and_o real_a personality_n of_o christ_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o humane_a nature_n when_o he_o have_v be_v all_o along_o assert_v a_o personal_a distinction_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o make_v the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n that_o be_v the_o incarnate_a word_n eternal_a as_o plain_a as_o word_n can_v make_v it_o i_o shall_v add_v to_o this_o as_o well_o as_o to_o some_o other_o of_o his_o bitter_a and_o indecent_a reflection_n what_o shall_v be_v give_v unto_o thou_o or_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o thou_o thou_o false_a tongue_n oh_o deliver_v my_o soul_n o_o lord_n from_o lie_v lip_n and_o from_o a_o deceitful_a tongue_n i_o have_v not_o time_n or_o if_o i_o have_v i_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o well_o spend_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o every_o trivial_a insinuation_n of_o our_o author_n i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o believe_v that_o his_o lordship_n have_v use_v the_o word_n person_n in_o any_o different_a sense_n than_o what_o we_o and_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n have_v ever_o use_v it_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n he_o have_v omit_v it_o when_o he_o name_v the_o bless_a three_o yet_o he_o mean_v as_o much_o by_o it_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v by_o his_o endeavour_v to_o follow_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o make_v they_o as_o much_o different_a as_o the_o church_n do_v when_o she_o name_v the_o person_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o some_o sly_a insinuation_n and_o malicious_a supposition_n to_o the_o contrary_a but_o direct_a proof_n and_o downright_a argument_n and_o solid_a reason_n that_o can_v satisfy_v any_o impartial_a and_o inquisitive_a mind_n i_o shall_v here_o beg_v leave_n to_o use_v the_o bishop_n own_o word_n which_o in_o his_o letter_n to_o dr._n williams_n he_o insert_v as_o a_o just_a reflection_n upon_o the_o odd_a comment_n of_o the_o socinian_o namely_o that_o the_o best_a and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o fair_a rule_v of_o criticism_n be_v to_o consider_v the_o whole_a thread_n strain_n and_o phraseology_n of_o a_o book_n and_o not_o to_o descant_v upon_o the_o various_a signification_n that_o the_o word_n themselves_o take_v several_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o have_v our_o critic_n observe_v this_o rule_n he_o will_v never_o have_v trouble_v the_o world_n with_o his_o rude_a and_o confuse_a notion_n nor_o have_v abuse_v himself_o as_o he_o have_v now_o too_o inconsiderate_o do_v but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o our_o vindicator_n have_v to_o urge_v against_o the_o bishop_n saying_n that_o the_o term_n person_n come_v to_o 11._o pag._n 11._o be_v apply_v to_o the_o three_o to_o discover_v those_o who_o think_v that_o these_o three_o be_v different_a name_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o be_v general_o call_v patripassian_n and_o be_v expel_v as_o heretic_n from_o the_o church_n now_o as_o to_o this_o he_o take_v up_o two_o or_o three_o page_n to_o say_v nothing_o only_o to_o yield_v up_o the_o cause_n and_o yet_o to_o censure_v the_o bishop_n for_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o quote_v indeed_o a_o passage_n or_o two_o from_o tertullian_n and_o athanasius_n but_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o they_o be_v to_o his_o purpose_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v quote_v aristotle_n or_o
