three_o in_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n each_o of_o which_o be_v a_o all-perfect_a and_o all-sufficient_a spirit_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o whole_a undivided_a divinity_n one_o all-perfect_a all-sufficient_a be_v these_o three_o be_v not_o more_o than_o enough_o not_o redundant_fw-la and_o superfluous_a in_o the_o divinity_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v have_v prove_v that_o by_o the_o

the_o catholic_n faith_n not_o three_o god_n or_o three_o divinity_n but_o three_o person_n in_o one_o infinite_a undivided_a nature_n and_o essence_n three_o which_o never_o do_v subsist_v never_o

the_o same_o one_o whole_a perfect_a divinity_n be_v find_v in_o they_o all_o and_o therefore_o though_o they_o be_v three_o the_o divinity_n be_v not_o multiply_v but_o they_o be_v one_o god_n and_o this_o be_v all_o we_o be_v to_o account_v for_o those_o who_o believe_v but_o one_o god_n i_o hope_v need_v not_o give_v a_o reason_n whether_o final_a or_o declaratory_a why_o there_o be_v more_o but_o if_o he_o expect_v a_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v three_o living_n subsist_v omniscient_a omnipotent_a person_n in_o this_o one_o undivided_a godhead_n a_o final_a reason_n i_o can_v give_v none_o for_o i_o have_v learn_v to_o give_v no_o such_o reason_n of_o a_o necessary_a and_o eternal_a nature_n a_o declaratory_a reason_n as_o he_o acll_v it_o i_o can_v give_v because_o our_o

holy_a ghost_n three_o and_o this_o answer_v his_o three_o argument_n that_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n though_o they_o prove_v the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n yet_o give_v we_o not_o the_o least_o intimation_n of_o more_o god_n than_o one_o we_o own_o the_o argument_n against_o a_o plurality_n of_o god_n but_o now_o for_o the_o application_n he_o say_v this_o be_v as_o direct_v a_o proof_n against_o our_o profess_v more_o infinite_a and_o almighty_a mighty_a spirit_n of_o one_o such_o mind_n or_o spirit_n the_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v a_o clear_a demonstration_n but_o they_o show_v we_o not_o the_o least_o footstep_n or_o track_n of_o more_o such_o spirit_n and_o mind_n or_o of_o three_o such_o divine_a almighty_a person_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o shall_v when_o as_o the_o realist_n themselves_o profess_v these_o three_o be_v but_o one_o essential_a wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o but_o one_o maker_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n but_o he_o think_v that_o if_o there_o be_v more_o than_o one_o such_o mind_n or_o spirit_n or_o as_o we_o say_v infinite_a person_n who_o be_v a_o infinite_a and_o almighty_a mind_n that_o also_o will_v

be_v as_o we_o profess_v to_o believe_v three_z such_o divine_a person_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n yet_o he_o know_v according_a to_o our_o principle_n the_o work_n of_o creation_n can_v give_v no_o such_o notice_n of_o any_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n because_o the_o father_n make_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n by_o a_o undivided_a and_o undistinguished_a wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o when_o these_o divine_a person_n have_v not_o distinct_a and_o separate_a part_n in_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o this_o visible_a frame_n of_o nature_n shall_v distinguish_v they_o and_o therefore_o this_o distinction_n can_v be_v learn_v but_o by_o revelation_n nor_o consequent_o be_v all_o man_n concern_v to_o know_v this_o till_o god_n think_v fit_a to_o reveal_v it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o a_o mere_a state_n of_o nature_n to_o worship_v the_o maker_n of_o the_o world_n with_o a_o undistinguished_a devotion_n but_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o incarnation_n and_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n make_v the_o revelation_n of_o this_o mystery_n necessary_a and_o though_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n do_v not_o visible_o distinguish_v the_o divine_a person_n yet_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n do_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n have_v their_o distinct_a part_n and_o office_n in_o this_o glorious_a work_n and_o such_o as_o prove_v each_o of_o they_o to_o be_v a_o distinct_a person_n and_o each_o person_n to_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a god_n but_o this_o author_n will_v not_o stand_v the_o trial_n of_o revelation_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o plain_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o that_o be_v all_o he_o mean_v by_o three_o mind_n and_o spirit_n be_v a_o point_n of_o so_o much_o importance_n and_o so_o general_a concernment_n that_o be_v it_o true_a it_o must_v have_v be_v find_v where_o

he_o have_v hitherto_o conceal_v himself_o under_o the_o character_n of_o a_o nominalist_n and_o according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n he_o ought_v to_o show_v we_o this_o nominal_a trinity_n register_v

but_o not_o as_o god_n that_o he_o receive_v his_o person_n but_o not_o his_o essence_n or_o divine_a nature_n of_o the_o father_n he_o observe_v that_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o person_n without_o

in_o the_o trinity_n that_o each_o person_n be_v by_o himself_o in_o his_o own_o proper_a person_n as_o distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o two_o infinite_a mind_n substance_n life_n wisdom_n power_n and_o whatever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o notion_n and_o idea_n of_o god_n instead_o of_o particular_a quotation_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o appeal_v to_o the_o title_n of_o the_o several_a section_n of_o that_o learned_a work_n which_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n can_v make_v common_a sense_n of_o without_o acknowledge_v a_o trinity_n of_o proper_a substantial_a subsist_v

of_o christian_n and_o this_o he_o prove_v to_o be_v the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o catholic_n father_n for_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n and_o so_o it_o continue_v to_o after-age_n now_o let_v any_o man_n consider_v what_o a_o pretty_a kind_n of_o dispute_v this_o be_v about_o the_o preexistence_n of_o the_o son_n if_o he_o have_v no_o proper_a permanent_a

what_o sense_n can_v be_v make_v of_o this_o if_o the_o son_n be_v not_o as_o true_o and_o proper_o substance_n in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o distinguish_v from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n
