and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o son_n that_o he_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o the_o father_n so_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o same_o place_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o he_o

without_o multiplication_n because_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a can_v be_v multiply_v yet_o he_o receive_v it_o without_o alienation_n because_o he_o receive_v so_o the_o whole_a essence_n as_o

dwell_v in_o they_o namely_o not_o as_o by_o his_o gift_n but_o a_o person_n therefore_o we_o may_v say_v this_o be_v his_o work_n the_o father_n not_o by_o any_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o dwell_v in_o they_o though_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n he_o dwell_v in_o they_o not_o by_o his_o gift_n only_o but_o by_o his_o person_n because_o he_o be_v call_v

etc._n it_o be_v necessary_o and_o fit_o say_v that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o sanctify_v the_o elect_a and_o thus_o i_o have_v explain_v this_o point_n so_o much_o as_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o communicate_v unto_o you_o use_v 1_o this_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o labour_v for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o that_o we_o may_v keep_v ourselves_o from_o error_n it_o be_v a_o commendable_a diligence_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o teach_v when_o the_o spirit_n be_v take_v for_o the_o person_n and_o when_o for_o the_o gift_n because_o heresy_n have_v spring_v from_o hence_o because_o they_o understand_v the_o word_n amiss_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v hold_v the_o truth_n we_o be_v to_o labour_v to_o know_v it_o and_o in_o this_o case_n although_o we_o find_v not_o a_o proper_a name_n give_v to_o the_o three_o person_n yet_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v he_o distinct_o because_o we_o know_v there_o be_v a_o father_n a_o son_n and_o a_o spirit_n object_n you_o tell_v we_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n answ_n we_o answer_v so_o be_v the_o father_n and_o so_o be_v the_o son_n but_o so_o the_o name_n of_o father_n be_v common_a to_o all_o and_o the_o son_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v conceive_v they_o to_o be_v three_o name_n give_v to_o the_o same_o god_n in_o divers_a respect_n but_o rather_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o common_a name_n give_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o common_a substantial_a joy_n and_o love_n between_o the_o father_n and_o son_n use_v 2._o this_o serve_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o faith_n against_o all_o heretic_n that_o deny_v the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o to_o stand_v upon_o their_o argument_n the_o macedonian_n stand_v up_o as_o it_o be_v to_o oppose_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o god_n and_o they_o think_v they_o have_v a_o colour_n for_o it_o from_o the_o counsel_n of_o nice_a in_o which_o we_o say_v we_o believe_v in_o the_o father_n god_n and_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o son_n god_n and_o lord_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o these_o heretic_n say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n saint_n basil_n answer_v to_o this_o objection_n from_o the_o nicen_n counsel_n say_v they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o explain_v this_o concern_v the_o spirit_n as_o they_o have_v do_v the_o father_n and_o son_n for_o no_o man_n then_o make_v any_o question_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n nay_o say_v nazianzen_n this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a confession_n of_o his_o deity_n for_o they_o say_v a_o particular_a thing_n assent_v by_o it_o that_o he_o be_v god_n because_o they_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o whereas_o they_o observe_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v take_v for_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n true_a it_o be_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v put_v for_o the_o person_n also_o and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v take_v sometime_o for_o the_o gift_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o overthrow_v that_o he_o be_v a_o person_n as_o the_o arian_n that_o can_v not_o deny_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v a_o person_n say_v notwithstanding_o he_o be_v but_o a_o make_v god_n so_o these_o say_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o god_n by_o nature_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o god_n by_o nature_n when_o he_o have_v the_o name_n jehovah_n and_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o god_n attribute_v to_o he_o yea_o but_o say_v they_o
