out_o part_n and_o composition_n which_o be_v his_o own_o and_o we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o they_o be_v that_o god_n be_v eternal_a and_o unmade_a and_o whatsoever_o have_v part_n say_v

guess_v confident_a affirmation_n against_o the_o most_o obvious_a tenor_n of_o god_n own_o word_n be_v of_o little_a account_n who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o the_o heaven_n or_o fathom_v the_o depth_n or_o can_v have_v that_o perspection_n of_o god_n incomprehensible_a nature_n as_o without_o and_o visible_o against_o his_o own_o revelation_n to_o be_v able_a without_o great_a rashness_n to_o pronounce_v so_o concern_v he_o but_o so_o toyish_a a_o argument_n as_o here_o follow_v be_v worse_a than_o the_o position_n i._n e._n when_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v there_o may_v be_v three_o distinct_a essence_n by_o a_o eternal_a unmade_a union_n unite_v into_o one_o in_o the_o be_v of_o god_n any_o man_n shall_v say_v and_o be_v so_o vain_a as_o to_o expect_v to_o be_v regard_v that_o because_o they_o be_v unite_v by_o a_o eternal_a and_o unmade_a union_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v by_o a_o eternal_a and_o unmade_a union_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o term_n to_o disprove_v a_o thing_n by_o itself_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o or_o be_v all_o one_o with_o prove_v a_o thing_n by_o itself_o he_o proceed_v to_o what_o have_v no_o thing_n in_o it_o like_o a_o argument_n but_o against_o his_o own_o conceit_n of_o part_n and_o that_o very_o trifle_v too_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o eternal_a nature_n in_o god_n but_o if_o there_o be_v three_o there_o must_v be_v three_o this_o it_o be_v now_o come_v to_o prove_v his_o point_n by_o its_o self_n here_o he_o make_v sure_a work_n to_o have_v nothing_o deny_v but_o then_o nothing_o be_v prove_v no_o advance_n be_v make_v if_o there_o be_v three_o there_o must_v be_v three_o but_o if_o there_o be_v three_o what_o eternal_a part_n there_o must_v be_v three_o different_a nature_n or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v the_o same_o what_o though_o distinct_a but_o this_o suppose_v some_o body_n say_v the_o first_o and_o who_o himself_o therefore_o he_o be_v disprove_v himself_o if_o i_o have_v say_v so_o i_o will_v have_v deny_v his_o consequence_n for_o there_o may_v be_v similar_v part_n whereas_o by_o different_a he_o seem_v to_o mean_v dissimilar_v he_o say_v not_o only_o distinct_a but_o different_a nature_n now_o you_o have_v that_o wonderful_a thing_n talk_v of_o some_o time_n but_o never_o bring_v to_o view_v before_o a_o distinction_n without_o a_o difference_n it_o be_v strange_a how_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v distinct_a and_o no_o way_n different_a what_o distinguish_v they_o if_o they_o differ_v by_o nothing_o this_o different_a apply_v to_o this_o present_a case_n be_v his_o own_o word_n coin_v to_o introduce_v a_o notion_n that_o be_v not_o new_a to_o christian_n only_o but_o to_o all_o mankind_n if_o by_o different_a nature_n he_o mean_v as_o he_o seem_v of_o a_o different_a kind_n who_o think_v of_o such_o a_o difference_n but_o i_o trow_v thing_n that_o differ_v in_o number_n do_v as_o true_o differ_v however_o essential_o cohaere_v though_o not_o so_o wide_o his_o next_o be_v that_o though_o we_o have_v a_o natural_a notion_n of_o a_o eternal_a be_v we_o have_v no_o notion_n of_o three_o eternal_a essence_n which_o again_o i_o put_v instead_o of_o his_o part_n which_o necessary_o coexi_v in_o a_o eternal_a union_n do_v he_o mean_v we_o be_v to_o disbelieve_v every_o thing_n of_o god_n whereof_o we_o have_v not_o a_o natural_a notion_n then_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v a_o divine_a revelation_n be_v this_o notion_n of_o god_n pretend_v to_o be_v natural_a it_o be_v enough_o if_o such_o a_o notion_n be_v most_o favour_v by_o his_o own_o revelation_n who_o best_o understand_v his_o own_o nature_n and_o there_o be_v no_o evident_a natural_a notion_n against_o it_o he_o forget_v that_o he_o have_v say_v defence_n p._n 5._o if_o every_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v no_o positive_a idea_n of_o must_v be_v allow_v to_o contradict_v reason_n we_o shall_v find_v contradiction_n enough_o add_v we_o must_v confess_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a which_o we_o have_v no_o idea_n of_o etc._n etc._n he_o add_v once_o more_o we_o have_v no_o notion_n of_o a_o eternal_a and_o necessary_a existence_n but_o in_o a_o absolute_o perfect_a and_o infinite_a nature_n but_o if_o there_o be_v i_o here_o again_o leave_v out_o his_o three_o part_n because_o i_o design_v to_o consider_v if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o strength_n bring_v against_o what_o be_v suppose_v possible_a by_o the_o enquirer_n not_o against_o his_o fiction_n which_o i_o trouble_v
