subsist_v otherwise_o than_o in_o three_o if_o we_o will_v venture_v to_o follow_v our_o own_o reason_n we_o must_v conclude_v there_o be_v a_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n or_o else_o he_o be_v not_o absolute_o perfect_a but_o if_o we_o find_v the_o plain_a expression_n of_o the_o scripture_n agree_v to_o this_o conception_n in_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o it_o as_o friend_n and_o foe_n confess_v they_o do_v we_o can_v then_o without_o unreasonableness_n unbelief_n and_o immodesty_n continue_v our_o doubtfulness_n any_o long_o now_o this_o coincidence_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n with_o the_o scripture_n in_o all_o point_n give_v we_o the_o complete_a evidence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n 5._o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o have_v satisfy_v in_o the_o book_n by_o divide_v the_o question_n of_o the_o trinity_n into_o its_o two_o part_n and_o show_v what_o belong_v to_o the_o natural_a inquiry_n and_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o christian_a mystery_n and_o therefore_o need_v say_v no_o more_o here_o than_o that_o no_o one_o can_n more_o acknowledge_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o this_o point_n than_o be_v here_o teach_v which_o as_o such_o be_v whole_o and_o sole_o of_o scripture_n revelation_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o other_o part_n belong_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o so_o be_v of_o natural_a divinity_n and_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o theory_n of_o a_o spirit_n if_o it_o may_v then_o appear_v by_o nature_n that_o the_o subsistence_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o more_o real_o its_o very_a self_n than_o it_o be_v the_o very_a subsistence_n which_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v in_o the_o divine_a conception_n than_o it_o will_v also_o appear_v that_o the_o divine_a conception_n in_o this_o particular_a be_v of_o absolute_o perfect_a truth_n and_o the_o divine_a mind_n thus_o conceive_v be_v a_o be_v of_o absolute_a perfection_n this_o be_v evident_a it_o will_v follow_v from_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o spiritual_a nature_n that_o the_o supreme_a spirit_n himself_o subsist_v in_o three_o equal_o perfect_a and_o real_o distinct_a hypostasy_n and_o be_v one_o god_n therefore_o and_o three_o person_n and_o whether_o all_o this_o be_v so_o or_o not_o be_v of_o natural_a disquisition_n 6._o and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v why_o the_o ancient_n argue_v the_o trinity_n only_o from_o scripture_n authority_n and_o make_v use_v but_o spare_o of_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n because_o their_o controversy_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n or_o no_o not_o whether_o it_o be_v of_o natural_a light_n or_o of_o reason_n they_o therefore_o as_o minister_n of_o religion_n teach_v this_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n doctrine_n which_o they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v but_o only_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n but_o for_o all_o that_o since_o there_o certain_o be_v a_o natural_a enquiry_n about_o it_o that_o may_v be_v consider_v by_o a_o natural_a divine_a for_o if_o it_o be_v discover_v by_o natural_a theory_n no_o one_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o be_v require_v in_o scripture_n and_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o of_o natural_a that_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o it_o may_v be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n as_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v which_o be_v unknown_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n 7._o lest_o the_o reader_n shall_v surmise_v from_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v here_o meet_v with_o some_o new_a doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n to_o prevent_v any_o such_o prejudice_n at_o his_o entrance_n into_o this_o discourse_n i_o must_v advertise_v he_o that_o he_o will_v meet_v with_o no_o

by_o all_o christian_n and_o the_o antitrinitarian_n themselves_o and_o the_o more_o remote_a principle_n which_o yield_v the_o evidence_n to_o those_o proposition_n be_v notorious_a dictate_v of_o
