spirit_n be_v lesser_a than_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o of_o a_o comprehensible_a nature_n and_o consequent_o not_o very_o god_n send_v whereto_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o he_o which_o be_v send_v be_v not_o always_o lesser_a than_o he_o that_o send_v to_o prove_v which_o position_n any_o mean_a wit_n may_v infer_v many_o instance_n furthermore_o touch_v the_o send_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n we_o be_v here_o to_o imagine_v no_o change_v or_o shift_v of_o place_n for_o if_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o go_v from_o the_o father_n and_o be_v send_v change_v his_o place_n then_o must_v the_o father_n also_o be_v in_o a_o place_n that_o he_o may_v leave_v it_o and_o go_v to_o another_o and_o as_o for_o the_o incomprehensible_a nature_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v leaving_z his_o place_n pass_v unto_o another_o therefore_o the_o send_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o eternal_a and_o unvariable_a will_n of_o god_n to_o do_v something_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o reveal_n and_o execute_v of_o this_o will_n by_o the_o operation_n and_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n be_v send_v to_o the_o apostle_n which_o spirit_n be_v present_a with_o they_o since_o it_o be_v present_v every_o where_o but_o then_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o father_n he_o show_v himself_o present_a and_o powerful_a some_o man_n may_v say_v if_o send_v be_v a_o reveal_n and_o lay_v open_a of_o presence_n and_o power_n then_o may_v the_o father_n be_v say_v to_o be_v send_v because_o he_o himself_o be_v also_o reveal_v i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v say_v to_o be_v send_v not_o only_o the_o reveal_n but_o the_o order_n also_o of_o his_o reveal_n be_v declare_v because_o the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n of_o who_o he_o be_v send_v go_v before_o not_o in_o time_n but_o in_o order_n of_o person_n the_o spirit_n do_v reveal_v himself_o the_o father_n and_o also_o the_o son_n the_o father_n reveal_v himself_o by_o other_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o his_o will_n go_v before_o therefore_o send_v be_v the_o common_a work_n of_o all_o the_o three_o person_n howbeit_o for_o order_n of_o do_v it_o be_v distinguish_v by_o divers_a name_n the_o father_n will_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o man_n with_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v powerful_a in_o they_o and_o therefore_o be_v say_v to_o send_v the_o son_n do_v assent_v unto_o the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n and_o will_v that_o 〈◊〉_d be_v do_v by_o themselves_o which_o god_n will_v to_o be_v do_v by_o they_o these_o be_v say_v to_o be_v send_v and_o because_o the_o will_n of_o the_o son_n do_v go_v before_o the_o spirit_n in_o order_n of_o person_n he_o be_v also_o say_v to_o send_v the_o spirit_n himself_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o allege_v that_o if_o the_o spirit_n have_v perfection_n then_o will_v he_o speak_v of_o himself_o and_o not_o stand_v in_o need_n always_o of_o another_o admonishment_n but_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v as_o christ_n express_o testify_v john_n 16._o ergo_fw-la he_o be_v unperfect_a and_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v it_o be_v by_o partake_v and_o consequent_o he_o be_v not_o god_n 3._o whereto_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v stale_a for_o it_o be_v object_v by_o heretic_n long_o ago_o against_o

every_o thing_n be_v either_o unbegotten_a or_o unborn_a or_o beget_v and_o create_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o unbegotten_a for_o than_o he_o be_v the_o father_n and_o so_o there_o shall_v be_v two_o
