the_o trinity_n differ_v from_o the_o old_a condemn_a heresy_n of_o sabellius_n photinus_n and_o socinus_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o this_o will_v produce_v a_o much_o happy_a agreement_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o scandalous_a distinction_n between_o real_a and_o nominal_a trinitarian_n 2._o but_o our_o author_n be_v much_o more_o trouble_a with_o the_o second_o objection_n that_o the_o predication_n or_o as_o other_o speak_v attribution_n give_v in_o holy_a scripture_n 57_o and_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n to_o the_o divine_a person_n seem_v not_o well_o to_o consist_v

how_o it_o shall_v be_v incarnate_a will_v be_v another_o unaccountable_a unintelligible_a paradox_n this_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a objection_n he_o have_v bring_v the_o nominal_n on_o let_v he_o

of_o which_o be_v that_o some_o critic_n give_v up_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n out_o of_o wantonness_n and_o vanity_n which_o the_o catholic_n church_n always_o think_v good_a proof_n of_o the_o

but_o will_v for_o all_o that_o be_v most_o true_a now_o i_o will_v only_o ask_v the_o nominalist_n how_o they_o like_v this_o way_n of_o answer_v these_o difficulty_n by_o criticise_v away_o all_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n this_o their_o pretend_a but_o treacherous_a friend_n say_v be_v the_o best_a and_o true_a way_n and_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o
