that_o to_o i_o there_o be_v no_o more_o difference_n then_o essential_o there_o can_v be_v in_o the_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o holiness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v but_o so_o many_o word_n that_o agree_v to_o express_v the_o perfection_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o be_v and_o so_o that_o as_o the_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o but_o the_o same_o eternal_a godhead_n be_v all_o

christian_n answ_n 2._o by_o no_o mean_n for_o though_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v our_o principle_n that_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n who_o in_o several_a generation_n have_v reveal_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v superior_a to_o these_o write_n yet_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o forever_o to_o deny_v the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o
