people_n at_o least_o if_o the_o athanasian_n doctrine_n be_v true_a divinity_n hear_v o_o israel_n the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v one_o lord_n and_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o may_v deut._n 6.4_o 5._o but_o how_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o love_v each_o of_o three_o person_n that_o be_v equal_a with_o all_o our_o heart_n all_o the_o poor_a labourer_n with_o their_o wife_n in_o the_o country_n and_o all_o the_o tankard-bearer_n of_o london_n must_v go_v to_o school_n to_o dr._n wallis_n and_o he_o will_v teach_v they_o metaphysic_n and_o mathematics_n and_o read_v a_o lecture_n to_o they_o upon_o the_o three_o dimension_n long_o broad_n and_o tall_a of_o one_o cube_n they_o must_v love_v god_n the_o father_n who_o be_v the_o length_n of_o the_o cube_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o then_o god_n the_o son_n who_o be_v the_o breadth_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n too_o and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n too_o and_o if_o we_o measure_v this_o cube_n with_o the_o infallible_a rule_n of_o scripture_n we_o find_v that_o this_o long_a cube_n the_o father_n send_v this_o broad_a cube_n the_o son_n on_o a_o message_n as_o far_o as_o from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n john_n 6.38_o and_o anon_o after_o send_v this_o tall_a or_o deep_a cube_n the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o he_o matth._n 3.16_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o abide_v in_o heaven_n himself_o moreover_o this_o broad_a cube_n the_o son_n be_v not_o commensurable_a with_o this_o long_a cube_n the_o father_n neither_o northward_o nor_o southward_o in_o knowledge_n mark_n 13.32_o or_o power_n john_n 14.28_o in_o like_a manner_n this_o tall_a cube_n the_o holy_a ghost_n receive_v of_o this_o long_a and_o broad_a cube_n to_o make_v he_o tall_a and_o deep_a john_n 16.14_o i_o fancy_v the_o poor_a people_n will_v apprehend_v it_o better_o by_o such_o a_o resemblance_n as_o this_o suppose_v one_o woman_n marry_o to_o be_v marry_v to_o three_o man_n at_o once_o peter_z james_n and_o john_n i_o marry_o take_v thou_o peter_n james_n and_z john_n to_o be_v my_o wed_a husband_n etc._n etc._n here_o be_v indeed_o three_o person_n but_o only_o one_o husband_n the_o husbandhood_n be_v but_o one_o though_o the_o person_n be_v three_o each_o of_o which_o be_v husband_n to_o mary_n and_o mary_n be_v oblige_v by_o the_o contract_n of_o marriage_n to_o pay_v conjugal_a affection_n and_o duty_n to_o each_o of_o they_o methinks_v this_o be_v a_o more_o familiar_a parallel_n than_o that_o of_o a_o cube_n i_o do_v the_o rather_o make_v use_n of_o this_o similitude_n because_o the_o learned_a and_o famous_a dr._n sherlock_n in_o his_o vindication_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n tell_v we_o we_o must_v allow_v the_o divine_a person_n to_o be_v real_a substantial_a being_n pag._n 47._o and_o in_o pag._n 67._o he_o say_v the_o father_n feel_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o father_n and_o not_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o son_n in_o like_a manner_n feel_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o son_n and_o not_o the_o father_n nor_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o james_n feel_v himself_o to_o be_v james_n and_o not_o peter_n nor_o john_n which_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v distin_v person_n thus_o dr._n wallis_n may_v see_v that_o his_o

and_o so_o it_o seem_v do_v you_o too_o by_o this_o time_n we_o come_v near_o the_o end_n of_o your_o letter_n in_o which_o he_o say_v there_o be_v still_o the_o same_o calumny_n over_o and_o over_o

but_o if_o they_o be_v tie_v to_o take_v the_o term_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o opinion_n they_o must_v expound_v thus_o the_o son_n be_v with_o god_n that_o be_v with_o the_o father_n himself_o
