this_o manner_n god_n be_v eternal_a and_o unmake_v but_o whatever_o have_v three_o such_o essence_n in_o it_o must_v have_v a_o maker_n mr._n h._n be_v the_o less_o concern_v for_o this_o argument_n because_o it_o do_v the_o dean_n business_n as_o well_o as_o he_o but_o concern_v for_o the_o cause_n more_o than_o the_o dean_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v rub_v it_o off_o as_o well_o as_o he_o

wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n i_o will_v add_v justice_n and_o truth_n be_v natural_o and_o necessary_o unite_v in_o god_n and_o also_o eternal_a and_o unmade_a but_o then_o three_o distinct_a

natural_o and_o necessary_o unite_v they_o must_v then_o as_o the_o dean_n say_v have_v a_o maker_n and_o must_v differ_v in_o union_n from_o what_o they_o be_v in_o distinction_n as_o the_o whole_a
