no_o man_n ought_v to_o proceed_v further_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n than_o the_o sovereign_a limit_n so_o that_o a_o sovereign_n ought_v to_o be_v either_o a_o more_o exact_a divine_a than_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o world_n to_o interpret_v all_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o a_o question_n be_v demand_v of_o or_o else_o of_o a_o most_o exact_a and_o quick_a

in_o his_o resolve_n who_o must_v interpret_v the_o matter_n then●_n but_o i_o shall_v pass_v this_o over_o without_o more_o say_n as_o one_o of_o the_o chance_n of_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o fancy_n mr._n hobbes_n p._n 263._o say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v to_o restore_v unto_o god_n the_o kingdom_n cut_v off_o from_o he_o by_o the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o election_n of_o saul_n so_o far_o he_o have_v renounce_v all_o salvation_n by_o christ._n but_o to_o do_v he_o right_o he_o say_v afterward_o that_o our_o saviour_n

to_o conclude_v say_v he_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o far_o as_o can_v be_v gather_v direct_o from_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o substance_n this_o that_o the_o god_n who_o be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o be_v the_o person_n represent_v by_o moses_n the_o person_n represent_v by_o his_o son_n incarnate_a and_o the_o person_n represent_v by_o the_o apostle_n as_o represent_v by_o the_o apostle_n the_o holy_a spirit_n by_o which_o they_o speak_v be_v god_n as_o by_o moses_n the_o father_n be_v god_n as_o represent_v by_o his_o son_n that_o be_v god_n and_o man_n the_o son_n be_v god_n these_o be_v his_o very_a word_n so_o observe_v he_o absolute_o deny_v in_o this_o the_o personal_a existence_n of_o the_o two_o last_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o it_o be_v in_o short_a to_o say_v as_o other_o have_v say_v before_o i_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o person_n under_o different_a conception_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v direct_a and_o natural_a for_o say_v mr._n hobbes_n god_n be_v in_o three_o respect_n represent_v which_o exclude_v the_o real_a existence_n of_o three_o divine_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o only_o suppose_v three_o person_n that_o represent_v this_o one_o god_n not_o that_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n or_o that_o be_v god_n for_o no_o one_o be_v say_v to_o represent_v that_o be_v the_o person_n represent_v now_o to_o illustrate_v this_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v represent_v by_o the_o lord_n deputy_n of_o ireland_n by_o the_o viceroy_n of_o scotland_n and_o by_o his_o governor_n of_o the_o island_n of_o jersey_n but_o still_o it_o be_v the_o energy_n of_o the_o one_o person_n of_o the_o king_n that_o actuate_v they_o all_o and_o there_o be_v not_o three_o person_n of_o the_o king_n nor_o any_o of_o those_o three_o person_n be_v the_o king_n no_o more_o be_v there_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v mr._n hobbes_n who_o make_v the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n but_o three_o name_n to_o express_v one_o only_a person_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o son_n be_v not_o god_n as_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o father_n but_o that_o the_o only_a one_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v come_v into_o man_n or_o at_o best_o have_v take_v the_o virgin_n son_n into_o it_o or_o that_o he_o have_v say_v the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o god_n as_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o father_n but_o that_o the_o only_a one_o person_n of_o god_n inspire_v the_o apostle_n so_o then_o clear_o here_o be_v a_o denial_n of_o the_o two_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n for_o if_o there_o be_v only_o one_o person_n there_o be_v not_o three_o in_o the_o trinity_n but_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o this_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o say_v that_o this_o his_o fancy_n be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o scripture_n concern_v the_o trinity_n and_o that_o he_o may_v meet_v with_o his_o match_n i_o will_v say_v the_o contrary_a and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o my_o authority_n for_o my_o opinion_n will_v prove_v better_a than_o he_o it_o be_v say_v in_o 1_o joh._n 5._o 7._o there_o be_v three_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o so_o this_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o godhead_n be_v three_o person_n not_o as_o it_o be_v represent_v at_o three_o different_a time_n upon_o earth_n but_o as_o it_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n in_o heaven_n so_o this_o make_v a_o end_n of_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o conceit_n that_o there_o be_v only_o say_v to_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n to_o be_v make_v out_o by_o scripture_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o three_o representation_n upon_o earth_n for_o they_o be_v in_o this_o text_n say_v to_o be_v three_o in_o heaven_n and_o all_o three_o be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o action_n that_o be_v to_o bear_v

text_n be_v viz._n after_o the_o love_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n towards_o man_n appear_v by_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a

holy_a ghost_n and_o it_o be_v through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n so_o what_o can_v be_v plain_a beside_o the_o scripture_n that_o speak_v of_o the_o descent_n and_o mission_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o the_o godhead_n have_v three_o person_n in_o it_o in_o another_o manner_n than_o as_o it_o be_v represent_v by_o moses_n for_o here_o be_v god_n the_o father_n

observe_v of_o mahomet_n doctrine_n for_o religion_n that_o the_o turk_n teach_v within_o his_o dominion_n or_o that_o a_o papist_n shall_v teach_v if_o uppermost_a so_o now_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v

he_o mean_v that_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v so_o only_o until_o the_o sword_n have_v at_o that_o time_n determine_v it_o after_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v lay_v down_o positive_a general_a

the_o particular_n of_o the_o several_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o hope_n there_o i_o suppose_v to_o complete_a the_o work_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o several_a book_n especial_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o write_v by_o those_o that_o be_v common_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o they_o but_o by_o other_o a_o long_a time_n after_o their_o death_n which_o if_o true_a may_v raise_v a_o scruple_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o only_o he_o say_v that_o he_o suppose_v moses_n write_v the_o great_a part_n of_o deuteronomy_n else_o that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v pen_v general_o by_o esdras_n for_o which_o he_o cite_v the_o apocrypha_fw-la esdras_n the_o 14_o the_o chapter_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o esdras_n pen_v they_o after_o the_o captivity_n to_o answer_v particular_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o this_o will_v require_v a_o very_a large_a discourse_n enough_o to_o tire_v out_o both_o i_o and_o my_o reader_n beside_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a my_o while_n to_o answer_v general_a assertion_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_a admission_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a

in_o i_o shall_v answer_v particular_o he_o say_v the_o pentateuch_n be_v pen_v long_o after_o moses_n death_n and_o for_o this_o he_o cite_v the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n v._n 6._o which_o say_v that_o when_o abraham_n pass_v through_o the_o land_n to_o the_o plain_a of_o moreh_n the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n which_o show_v clear_o say_v mr._n hobbes_n that_o this_o book_n be_v

to_o be_v understand_v or_o may_v not_o the_o text_n be_v rational_o intend_v that_o moses_n say_v this_o to_o declare_v that_o the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n and_o not_o any_o
