what_o we_o call_v the_o divine_a attribute_n and_o therefore_o we_o reckon_v the_o person_n to_o be_v but_o three_o but_o the_o attribute_n to_o be_v more_o and_o we_o do_v admit_v among_o the_o person_n a_o certain_a order_n or_o oeconomy_n such_o as_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o find_v assign_v to_o they_o but_o do_v not_o own_o the_o distinction_n so_o great_a as_o to_o make_v they_o three_o go_n and_o that_o also_o of_o p._n 13_o 14._o where_o he_o argue_v that_o christ_n be_v indeed_o god_n not_o only_o a_o dignify_a man_n that_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v tempt_v suffer_v and_o die_v not_o man_n only_o that_o the_o merit_n thereof_o be_v found_v on_o the_o godhead_n in_o plain_a term_n say_v he_o if_o christ_n be_v only_o a_o man_n extraordinary_o assist_v by_o god_n and_o thereupon_o merit_v by_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n it_o be_v the_o man_n redeem_v we_o by_o his_o blood_n and_o not_o god_n and_o p._n 16._o the_o like_a from_o rom._n 9_o 5._o of_o who_o as_o concern_v the_o flesh_n christ_n come_v who_o be_v over_o all_o god_n bless_a for_o ever_o and_o ask_v if_o i_o ever_o know_v a_o unitarian_n especial_o a_o arian_n deny_v he_o that_o character_n and_o from_o heb._n 1._o 8._o to_o the_o son_n he_o say_v thy_o throne_n o_o god_n endure_v for_o ever_o a_o sceptre_n of_o righteousness_n be_v the_o sceptre_n of_o thy_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n he_o argue_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o for_o what_o be_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n call_v god_n be_v the_o humanity_n prefer_v before_o angel_n or_o do_v the_o humanity_n frame_v the_o world_n indeed_o he_o say_v they_o be_v apt_a to_o clog_v it_o with_o a_o limitation_n as_o not_o acknowledge_v he_o coequal_a with_o the_o father_n but_o under_o that_o restriction_n they_o can_v be_v as_o liberal_a of_o the_o title_n of_o god_n to_o christ_n as_o any_o trinitarian_n whatever_n where_o i_o take_v what_o he_o grant_v and_o as_o to_o the_o co-equality_n shall_v discourse_v it_o afterward_o more_o of_o this_o kind_n i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v afterward_o yet_o do_v not_o blame_v he_o for_o take_v this_o advantage_n of_o shift_v the_o person_n where_o he_o see_v cause_n to_o grant_v what_o be_v before_o deny_v but_o our_o new_a answerer_n have_v yet_o another_o art_n when_o he_o seem_v to_o cite_v what_o i_o say_v he_o take_v the_o liberty_n very_o often_o to_o vary_v therein_o according_a as_o he_o think_v fit_a both_o from_o my_o word_n and_o from_o my_o sense_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v the_o reader_n not_o to_o take_v all_o as_o i_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v cite_v as_o such_o but_o so_o much_o only_o as_o he_o find_v to_o be_v true_o cite_v it_o will_v be_v too_o long_o to_o mention_v all_o the_o place_n where_o i_o be_o so_o use_v i_o shall_v only_o give_v instance_n in_o some_o of_o they_o he_o tell_v we_o pag._n 4._o that_o i_o endeavour_v to_o illustrate_v the_o trinity_n by_o a_o example_n in_o a_o cube_n or_o die_v and_o so_o far_o he_o say_v true_a but_o not_o so_o in_o what_o follow_v where_o three_o side_n he_o say_v make_v one_o cube_n and_o which_o cube_n he_o say_v be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v without_o all_o the_o three_o side_n but_o certain_o he_o can_v no_o where_o find_v these_o to_o be_v my_o word_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o no_o great_a gamester_n at_o that_o sport_n but_o i_o always_o think_v till_o now_o that_o a_o die_v have_v six_o side_n and_o not_o only_o three_o i_o have_v say_v indeed_o that_o in_o a_o cube_n or_o die_v there_o be_v three_o dimension_n length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n but_o i_o never_o call_v these_o the_o three_o side_n of_o a_o cube_n nor_o have_v i_o any_o where_o say_v that_o a_o cube_n have_v but_o three_o side_n i_o be_o represent_v pag._n 5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o as_o maintain_v three_o personal_a go_n but_o he_o know_v very_o well_o this_o be_v not_o my_o language_n but_o that_o the_o three_o person_n be_v one_o god_n not_o three_o god_n nor_o a_o council_n of_o god_n as_o he_o call_v it_o so_o where_o he_o will_v ask_v the_o doctor_n p._n 17._o whether_o these_o two_o god_n to_o wit_n the_o father_n and_o the_o word_n be_v one_o he_o know_v my_o answer_n must_v be_v that_o these_o two_o not_o these_o two_o god_n be_v one_o god_n and_o that_o i_o do_v no_o where_o call_v they_o two_o god_n but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n according_a to_o that_o of_o christ_n himself_o i_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one._n so_o where_o he_o talk_v of_o add_v several_a person_n to_o our_o one_o god_n pag._n 3_o 8._o for_o he_o know_v that_o be_v not_o my_o language_n but_o these_o three_o be_v god_n not_o that_o they_o be_v add_v to_o god_n much_o less_o that_o bacchus_n and_o venus_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v thrust_v into_o the_o number_n and_o p._n 8._o one_o of_o your_o god_n we_o have_v but_o one_o god_n it_o be_v he_o and_o his_o arian_n that_o own_o two_o god_n p._n 17._o not_o we_o another_o there_o be_v which_o run_v through_o most_o part_n of_o his_o whole_a discourse_n wherein_o he_o wilful_o mistake_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n and_o then_o what_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v one_o thing_n he_o misapplies_a as_o bring_v to_o prove_v another_o and_o then_o make_v a_o great_a outcry_n that_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v what_o it_o be_v never_o bring_v to_o prove_v and_o this_o he_o call_v cross_a purpose_n he_o know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o question_n be_v by_o i_o clear_o state_v not_o as_o to_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n at_o large_a but_o as_o to_o the_o possibility_n that_o whatever_o the_o socinian_o pretend_v there_o be_v no_o impossibility_n nonsense_n or_o inconsistence_n with_o reason_n that_o three_o somewhat_n which_o we_o call_v person_n may_v be_v one_o god_n and_o this_o he_o own_v to_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n p._n 1._o to_o prove_v the_o same_o agreeable_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o humane_a reason_n and_o it_o be_v do_v by_o show_v that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o humane_a reason_n nothing_o be_v more_o common_a than_o that_o what_o in_o one_o consideration_n be_v three_o or_o many_o be_v yet_o in_o another_o consideration_n but_o one._n thus_o in_o one_o cube_n there_o be_v three_o dimension_n length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n so_o the_o understanding_n will_n and_o memory_n in_o one_o soul_n so_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o power_n to_o know_v to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v in_o the_o same_o intelligent_a agent_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v therefore_o not_o inconsistent_a with_o reason_n and_o this_o answerer_n do_v allow_v it_o for_o one_o to_o be_v three_o nor_o be_v it_o nonsense_n to_o say_v these_o three_o be_v one_o or_o i_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o or_o that_o three_o somewhat_n may_v be_v one_o god_n the_o former_a answerer_n complain_v of_o these_o resemblance_n as_o impossible_a to_o be_v apprehend_v by_o the_o common_a people_n and_o desire_v some_o more_o familiar_a parallel_n than_o that_o of_o a_o cube_n or_o die_v that_o the_o tankard-bearer_n may_v apprehend_v in_o his_o p._n 8_o 9_o yet_o i_o believe_v his_o tankard-bearer_n be_v not_o so_o dull_a of_o apprehension_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o think_v for_o if_o he_o have_v ever_o see_v a_o die_n as_o most_o of_o they_o have_v or_o shall_v now_o be_v show_v one_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o apprehend_v without_o a_o metaphysic_n or_o mathematic_a lecture_n that_o in_o a_o die_n there_o be_v length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o broad_a as_o it_o be_v long_o and_o as_o thick_a as_o either_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o three_o dies_z but_o one_o die_v however_o to_o gratify_v his_o request_n i_o have_v give_v he_o some_o other_o as_o that_o the_o same_o man_n may_v have_v three_o dignity_n or_o three_o kingdom_n and_o sustain_v three_o person_n or_o three_o relation_n without_o thereby_o become_v three_o man_n with_o other_o like_a with_o this_o our_o new_a answerer_n be_v not_o please_v he_o be_v ashamed_a he_o do_v blush_v for_o i_o etc._n etc._n how_o much_o be_o i_o oblige_v for_o this_o his_o great_a compassion_n but_o all_o this_o be_v but_o banter_n it_o be_v not_o argument_n and_o no_o sober_a man_n will_v be_v more_o of_o his_o opinion_n for_o this_o language_n and_o much_o less_o for_o that_o of_o st._n john_n writing_n nonsense_n of_o a_o lie_a revelation_n of_o a_o three-headed_a monster_n p._n 3_o 5._o and_o other_o such_o indecent_a language_n of_o god_n and_o the_o scripture_n but_o why_o so_o displease_v with_o these_o simile_n these_o

of_o the_o first_o commandment_n as_o he_o do_v and_o perhaps_o more_o he_o will_v have_v we_o show_v if_o we_o can_v p._n 9_o where_o this_o commandment_n be_v abrogate_a i_o say_v no_o where_o it_o be_v never_o abrogate_a never_o repeal_v it_o remain_v i_o grant_v still_o in_o its_o full_a force_n and_o therefore_o we_o own_v no_o other_o god_n but_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n and_o this_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n we_o say_v be_v one_o lord_n one_o god_n and_o no_o more_o god_n than_o one._n we_o say_v indeed_o there_o be_v a_o wise_a god_n a_o powerful_a god_n a_o almighty_a god_n
