if_o god_n communicate_v his_o essence_n it_o must_v be_v his_o whole_a essence_n for_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a can_v admit_v of_o any_o division_n partition_n or_o diminution_n yet_o methinks_v we_o have_v a_o faint_a resemblance_n of_o this_o here_o below_o it_o be_v not_o with_o thing_n of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n as_o with_o thing_n of_o a_o corporeal_a spiritual_a thing_n may_v be_v communicate_v without_o be_v lessen_v or_o divide_v viz._n when_o i_o make_v a_o man_n know_v that_o which_o i_o know_v my_o knowledge_n be_v still_o the_o same_o and_o nothing_o diminish_v and_o upon_o his_o account_n whether_o that_o argument_n against_o the_o traduction_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o father_n be_v traduce_v the_o father_n be_v leave_v soulless_a be_v cogent_a i_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a it_o be_v to_o be_v grant_v that_o to_o communicate_v the_o notion_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o faculty_n be_v

the_o father_n beget_v the_o son_n yet_o the_o son_n have_v the_o same_o numerical_a nature_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n the_o same_o numerical_a nature_n with_o the_o son_n a_o earthly_a son_n have_v the_o same_o specifical_a nature_n with_o his_o father_n but_o than_o though_o it_o be_v the_o same_o in_o regard_n of_o kind_n yet_o it_o differ_v in_o regard_n of_o number_n

2._o earthly_a witness_n be_v such_o as_o be_v liable_a to_o exception_n but_o these_o be_v in_o heaven_n beyond_o all_o exception_n 3._o as_o for_o earthly_a witness_n it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o their_o name_n may_v not_o be_v know_v these_o here_o be_v name_v the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 4._o earthly_a witness_n when_o they_o be_v produce_v either_o may_v be_v silent_a or_o it_o may_v be_v bear_v false_a witness_n but_o these_o bear_v record_n and_o their_o record_n be_v true_a 5._o earthly_a witness_n may_v not_o agree_v in_o their_o witness_n as_o the_o witness_n bring_v against_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o sweet_a consent_n and_o agreement_n among_o these_o witness_n for_o these_o three_o be_v one_o 6._o whereas_o earthly_a witness_n although_o they_o may_v be_v one_o in_o regard_n of_o consent_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o one_o in_o regard_n of_o essence_n every_o man_n have_v one_o particular_a individual_a essence_n of_o his_o own_o but_o these_o be_v one_o in_o regard_n of_o essence_n now_o pray_v mark_v this_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n and_o therefore_o the_o socinian_n who_o deny_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o word_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v persuade_v you_o to_o believe_v that_o these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v thus_o these_o three_o be_v one_o that_o be_v say_v he_o these_o three_o agree_v in_o one_o but_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o phrase_n appear_v by_o the_o variation_n of_o it_o

why_o be_v it_o not_o say_v the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n agree_v in_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o spirit_n water_n and_o blood_n and_o suppose_v we_o shall_v grant_v that_o
