more_o use_n of_o it_o again_o present_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o examine_v his_o answer_n to_o the_o animadverter_n first_o argument_n against_o his_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n which_o proceed_v thus_o first_o argument_n three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v three_o distinct_a go_n but_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v not_o three_o distinct_a god_n and_o therefore_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v not_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n or_o spirit_n and_o now_o how_o do_v he_o clear_v himself_o of_o this_o argument_n why_o first_o by_o

be_v propose_v second_o he_o allege_n as_o parallel_v to_o this_o argument_n a_o argument_n bring_v by_o the_o socinian_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v not_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n which_o to_o show_v that_o logic_n be_v as_o much_o a_o enemy_n to_o he_o as_o he_o can_v be_v to_o logic_n he_o set_v down_o thus_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a intelligent_a person_n be_v three_o distinct_a go_n but_o there_o be_v not_o three_o distinct_a god_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v not_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a intelligent_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n in_o which_o syllogism_n we_o have_v these_o two_o term_n viz._n three_o distinct_a infinite_a intelligent_a person_n and_o three_o distinct_a go_n but_o as_o for_o the_o three_o term_n i_o desire_v this_o author_n to_o show_v it_o i_o for_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v find_v it_o i_o know_v well_o enough_o how_o this_o socinian_n syllogism_n must_v be_v supply_v and_o perfect_v and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v not_o my_o business_n to_o correct_v his_o blunder_n but_o to_o expose_v they_o i_o shall_v set_v it_o right_n for_o he_o thus_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a intelligent_a person_n be_v three_o distinct_a god_n but_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o three_o distinct_a god_n and_o therefore_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o three_o infinite_a intelligent_a person_n thus_o i_o say_v this_o socinian_n argument_n ought_v to_o proceed_v in_o which_o the_o major_a proposition_n and_o the_o conclusion_n be_v certain_o false_a but_o how_o do_v this_o affect_v the_o animadverter_n or_o how_o do_v it_o prove_v his_o argument_n which_o proceed_v upon_o a_o different_a major_n terminus_n to_o be_v false_a too_o unless_o this_o declare_a enemy_n of_o logic_n will_v have_v the_o syllogistical_a form_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o argument_n to_o determine_v the_o truth_n on_o falsehood_n of_o the_o conclusion_n but_o that_o we_o know_v must_v be_v here_o determine_v by_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o premise_n or_o of_o one_o of_o they_o and_o not_o by_o the_o bare_a form_n of_o the_o syllogism_n according_o if_o this_o man_n will_v prove_v a_o parity_n between_o the_o animadverter_n argument_n and_o that_o of_o the_o socinian_o he_o must_v prove_v that_o the_o animadverter_n major_a proposition_n viz._n three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind●_n be_v three_o distinct_a god_n be_v of_o the_o very_a same_o signification_n and_o import_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o same_o
