in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n namely_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o as_o god_n the_o three_o person_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n sanctify_v the_o elect_a he_o that_o change_v any_o

proceed_v answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o saint_n chrysostome_n do_v that_o which_o be_v not_o write_v thou_o ought_v not_o think_v or_o speak_v if_o thou_o find_v it_o any_o where_o write_v

beget_v he_o answer_n because_o the_o second_o person_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o son_n yea_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o go_v from_o that_o to_o ascribe_v the_o beget_n to_o any_o other_o beside_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v he_o go_v on_o to_o this_o purpose_n if_o any_o ask_v quest_n how_o do_v beget_v and_o proceed_v differ_v answ_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o do_v differ_v i_o be_o sure_a but_o how_o i_o know_v not_o again_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n to_o be_v beget_v and_o to_o proceed_v i_o be_o insufficient_a to_o speak_v or_o express_v nazianzen_n press_v the_o point_n well_o tell_v i_o say_v he_o what_o be_v to_o be_v beget_v and_o i_o will_v tell_v thou_o what_o be_v proceed_v and_o yet_o if_o either_o shall_v undertake_v to_o do_v this_o by_o search_v into_o it_o we_o may_v be_v both_o mad_a and_o lose_v our_o wit_n therefore_o we_o say_v the_o father_n be_v of_o himself_o not_o from_o another_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o by_o way_n of_o beget_v the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o they_o both_o by_o way_n of_o proceed_v and_o if_o this_o seem_v strange_a say_v nazianzen_n take_v a_o

thou_o have_v need_v of_o thy_o servant_n that_o he_o may_v serve_v thou_o but_o god_n be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o man_n but_o every_o man_n have_v need_v of_o he_o

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

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

not_o no_o tongue_n can_v express_v no_o heart_n can_v imagine_v god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o that_o he_o do_v beget_v his_o son_n that_o be_v reveal_v but_o the_o manner_n how_o he_o have_v not_o

this_o be_v imperfect_a that_o the_o father_n shall_v beget_v a_o son_n out_o of_o himself_o be_v imperfect_a this_o be_v imperfect_a for_o a_o father_n to_o beget_v a_o son_n by_o motion_n and_o

do_v this_o word_n teach_v we_o concern_v god_n ans_fw-fr it_o teach_v we_o what_o he_o be_v namely_o one_o spiritual_a essence_n most_o perfect_a distinguish_v into_o three_o person_n this_o

i_o come_v then_o to_o the_o first_o quest_n namely_o what_o be_v this_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o essence_n or_o why_o be_v it_o say_v to_o be_v a_o essence_n ans_fw-fr the_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n essence_n be_v that_o by_o which_o he_o be_v and_o exi_v true_a god_n to_o explain_v this_o it_o appear_v out_o of_o these_o word_n that_o i_o have_v read_v that_o moses_n be_v send_v
