will_v allow_v we_o to_o give_v a_o name_n to_o it_o that_o name_n whatever_o it_o be_v be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o to_o denote_v this_o notion_n and_o we_o think_v the_o word_n person_n a_o fit_a name_n to_o denote_v this_o notion_n by_o but_o if_o we_o may_v not_o give_v it_o a_o name_n we_o must_v then_o say_v the_o notion_n be_v such_o as_o be_v but_o now_o explain_v but_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o give_v it_o a_o name_n and_o as_o to_o our_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n i_o think_v the_o trinitarian_n do_v less_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o than_o do_v the_o anti-trinitarians_a but_o he_o say_v p._n 9_o i_o own_o the_o word_n person_n when_o apply_v to_o god_n to_o be_v but_o metaphorical_a and_o not_o to_o signify_v just_a the_o same_o as_o when_o apply_v to_o man_n but_o somewhat_o analogous_n thereunto_o true_a i_o do_v so_o and_o i_o have_v give_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v so_o more_o than_o once_o because_o two_o of_o they_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n under_o the_o name_n of_o father_n and_o son_n and_o this_o son_n say_v to_o be_v beget_v of_o that_o father_n which_o word_n be_v therefore_o not_o to_o be_v quarrel_v with_o because_o scripture_n language_n no_o man_n think_v that_o the_o one_o be_v so_o a_o father_n or_o the_o other_o so_o a_o son_n or_o so_o beget_v as_o these_o word_n signify_v concern_v man_n but_o somewhat_o analogous_n thereunto_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n they_o be_v father_n and_o son_n they_o be_v in_o a_o sense_n analogous_fw-la thereunto_o two_o person_n and_o the_o holy-ghost_n a_o three_o for_o father_n and_o son_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n among_o man_n be_v such_o relative_n as_o the_o latin_n do_v denote_v by_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la in_o the_o first_o and_o proper_a signification_n of_o that_o word_n and_o consequent_o father_n and_o son_n in_o this_o analogical_a sense_n be_v in_o a_o continuation_n of_o the_o same_o analogy_n person_n in_o a_o like_o analogical_a sense_n but_o he_o say_v further_a that_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n let._n iii._o p._n 13._o i_o interpret_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o true_o person_n or_o proper_o person_n i_o do_v so_o because_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v intend_v to_o call_v they_o true_o or_o proper_o such_o person_n as_o be_v there_o mean_v answer_v to_o the_o greek_a hypostasis_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o they_o be_v there_o call_v father_n and_o son_n and_o that_o the_o word_n person_n be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a continuation_n of_o the_o same_o analogy_n i_o have_v before_o declare_v more_o than_o once_o in_o the_o place_n by_o he_o cite_v p._n 9_o 10._o that_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o latin_a word_n persona_fw-la be_v not_o to_o denote_v a_o man_n simple_o for_o this_o with_o they_o be_v homo_fw-la not_o persona_fw-la but_o such_o quality_n state_n or_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n whereby_o he_o be_v distinguish_v from_o or_o stand_v relate_v to_o other_o man_n as_o a_o king_n a_o father_n a_o judge_n and_o the_o like_a and_o according_o the_o same_o man_n may_v sustain_v divers_a person_n he_o may_v be_v a_o king_n and_o a_o father_n and_o according_a as_o such_o condition_n vary_v the_o person_n also_o vary_v it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o english_a for_o want_n of_o a_o word_n that_o answer_v to_o homo_fw-la we_o sometime_o make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n person_n when_o we_o speak_v indifferent_o of_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n as_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n and_o a_o infant_n be_v speak_v of_o as_o three_o person_n but_o these_o the_o latin_n will_v not_o have_v call_v tres_fw-la personas_fw-la but_o tres_fw-la homines_fw-la but_o if_o consider_v as_o father_n mother_n and_o child_n they_o may_v as_o thus_o relate_v be_v call_v tres_fw-la personae_fw-la and_o the_o schoolman_n sometime_o and_o some_o other_o in_o imitation_n of_o they_o do_v in_o a_o like_a sense_n use_v the_o word_n persona_fw-la for_o want_v of_o a_o latin_a word_n which_o do_v indifferent_o respect_v man_n and_o angel_n but_o these_o be_v new_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n persona_fw-la quite_o different_a from_o what_o the_o word_n signify_v in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n and_o unknown_a i_o suppose_v to_o the_o father_n who_o first_o apply_v the_o word_n personae_fw-la to_o those_o of_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v at_o large_a let._n v_o p._n 15._o etc._n etc._n but_o at_o this_o rate_n he_o tell_v we_o p._n 10._o the_o socinian_o will_v allow_v god_n the_o creator_n god_n the_o redeemer_n and_o god_n the_o sanctifier_n or_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n to_o be_v three_o person_n and_o i_o be_o not_o sorry_a to_o hear_v it_o but_o then_o i_o will_v not_o have_v he_o say_v as_o here_o that_o i_o make_v they_o to_o be_v only_o three_o name_n nor_o yet_o as_o p._n 16._o three_o go_n they_o be_v more_o than_o three_o name_n but_o not_o three_o go_n for_o even_o among_o man_n to_o be_v a_o father_n be_v more_o than_o a_o name_n or_o title_n and_o in_o the_o godhead_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n differ_v more_o than_o so_o many_o name_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o determine_v precise_o how_o great_a the_o distinction_n be_v which_o be_v what_o at_o p._n 8._o he_o cite_v out_o of_o my_o let._n two_o p._n 3_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v positive_a where_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a yet_o certain_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o make_v they_o three_o god_n but_o great_a than_o mere_o three_o name_n or_o even_o that_o between_o what_o we_o common_o call_v the_o divine_a attribute_n his_o next_o head_n be_v about_o my_o explication_n of_o the_o athanaan_n creed_n which_o he_o find_v he_o say_v to_o be_v a_o explication_n of_o the_o damnatory_a clause_n therein_o and_o he_o be_v not_o much_o amiss_o in_o that_o observation_n he_o be_v tell_v so_o in_o the_o first_o word_n of_o that_o explication_n and_o in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o postscript_n that_o it_o be_v in_o pursuance_n of_o a_o clause_n in_o a_o former_a letter_n to_o that_o purpose_n and_o that_o though_o other_o thing_n be_v explain_v in_o it_o it_o be_v chief_o intend_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o do_v believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o but_o stumble_v at_o those_o clause_n to_o show_v that_o they_o need_v not_o for_o these_o clause_n to_o reject_v that_o creed_n he_o tell_v we_o p._n 11._o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o necessary_a and_o requisite_a be_v it_o so_o but_o the_o word_n there_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d oportet_fw-la not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o i_o have_v render_v p._n 4._o 21._o by_o these_o word_n it_o be_v necessary_a it_o be_v main_o necessary_a it_o be_v a_o principal_a requisite_a he_o ought_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o certain_o if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o great_a desire_n to_o cavil_v he_o will_v not_o have_v quarrel_v at_o this_o exposition_n as_o not_o full_a enough_o for_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i_o have_v say_v this_o creed_n be_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n the_o whole_a of_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n which_o a_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v as_o to_o the_o substantial_o of_o it_o but_o may_v be_v save_v notwithstanding_o a_o ignorance_n or_o mistake_v as_o to_o some_o particular_n of_o less_o moment_n now_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o this_o
