undeniable_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n with_o three_o distinct_a incommunicable_a property_n the_o second_o argument_n out_o of_o 1_o joh._n 5._o 7._o to_o prove_v that_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v three_o distinct_a person_n be_v this_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v either_o three_o substance_n or_o three_o manifestation_n or_o three_o operation_n or_o three_o person_n or_o something_o else_o but_o 1._o they_o be_v not_o three_o substance_n because_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n the_o three_o be_v call_v one_o that_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o substance_n or_o essence_n 2._o they_o be_v not_o three_o manifestation_n for_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v manifestation_n and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v more_o than_o three_o hence_o also_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o manifestation_n shall_v beget_v and_o send_v another_o which_o be_v absurd_a 3._o they_o be_v not_o three_o operation_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v more_o than_o three_o operation_n and_o it_o will_v be_v very_o improper_a to_o asribe_v personal_a property_n either_o to_o manifestation_n or_o operation_n 4._o they_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n else_o therefore_o the_o proposition_n remain_v firm_a and_o sound_a that_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v three_o distinct_a subsistent_n or_o person_n in_o one_o divine_a essence_n or_o godhead_n the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n be_v god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v nor_o three_o god_n but_o one_o god_n the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v distinct_a but_o the_o godhead_n be_v the_o same_o not_o specifical_o the_o same_o as_o the_o same_o humane_a
