enough_o so_o one_o it_o fire_n spring_v from_o another_o yet_o the_o new_a fire_n be_v not_o call_v the_o other_o fire_n son_n s._n i_o see_v now_o they_o must_v both_o at_o least_o be_v live_v

or_o of_o like_a nature_n with_o 〈◊〉_d as_o be_v show_v and_o that_o this_o nature_n in_o our_o case_n be_v in_o both_o knower_n and_o thing_n know_v live_v and_o that_o knowledge_n of_o god_n

think_v sir_n i_o now_o begin_v to_o see_v some_o glimpse_n how_o the_o eternal_a son_n be_v beget_v of_o his_o father_n which_o before_o sound_v strange_o to_o i_o how_o he_o be_v god_n of_o god_n only_o beget_v the_o wisdom_n and_o image_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n and_o such_o like_a expression_n which_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o crred_n and_o prayer-book_n but_o never_o can_v frame_v any_o conceit_n of_o they_o which_o make_v my_o devotion_n very_o dull_a and_o dry_a but_o likewise_o still_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o nothing_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n m._n do_v you_o not_o tell_v i_o that_o thing_n a_o spirit_n have_v will_n as_o well_o as_o understanding_n or_o knowledge_n if_o then_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o the_o will_v be_v love_n and_o that_o you_o grant_v god_n love_v

as_o knowledge_n and_o thing_n know_v you_o will_v easy_o gather_v by_o a_o dsicourse_v love_n parallel_n to_o the_o former_a that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o god_n beside_o father_n and_o son_n a_o three_o that_o be_v love_n one_o in_o nature_n yet_o distinct_a in_o relation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n s._n i_o apprehend_v in_o some_o degree_n how_o the_o discourse_n go_v but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n m._n remember_v well_o that_o the_o also_o holy_a ghost_n be_v love_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v that_o whence_o love_n proceed_v in_o rational_a thing_n or_o that_o which_o rational_a thing_n love_v good_a s._n that_o which_o be_v their_o good_a m._n and_o what_o judge_v you_o to_o be_v the_o the_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n be_v it_o not_o truth_n s._n i_o think_v you_o mean_v by_o intellectual_a capable_a of_o know_v and_o truth_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a nothing_o be_v so_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o it_o as_o error_n for_o they_o who_o have_v this_o perfect_o know_v nothing_o wherefore_o this_o also_o truth_n must_v by_o consequence_n be_v the_o perfection_n and_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n m._n you_o answer_v learned_o but_o knowledge_n i_o fear_v it_o be_v only_o repeat_v by_o rote_n what_o i_o have_v so_o oft_o tell_v you_o well_o and_o in_o what_o consist_v truth_n be_v it_o not_o in_o this_o that_o the_o object_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n s._n i_o conceive_v so_o sir_n m._n and_o what_o object_n can_v be_v knowledge_n worthy_a god_n understanding_n or_o proportion_v to_o it_o s._n none_o sure_a but_o himself_o or_o his_o own_o essence_n m._n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o good_a proper_a to_o he_o and_o consequent_o the_o source_n of_o divine_a love_n be_v that_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o object_n or_o son_n know_v be_v in_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o include_v as_o be_v show_v father_n and_o son_n from_o both_o therefore_o conjoint_o divine_a love_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v s._n i_o be_o much_o please_v with_o this_o love_n but_o why_o be_v he_o call_v holy_a be_v not_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o holy_a as_o he_o m._n yes_o but_o you_o must_v conceive_v call_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o action_n be_v appropriate_v to_o each_o of_o those_o three_o and_o so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v holy_a so_o proper_a to_o teach_v we_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o that_o which_o be_v essential_o divine_a knowledge_n or_o the_o son_n for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v he_o come_v to_o be_v our_o master_n so_o nothing_o be_v so_o proper_a to_o cause_v love_n of_o god_n in_o we_o as_o that_o which_o be_v essential_o divine_a love_n wherefore_o since_o our_o sanctity_n or_o holiness_n consist_v in_o love_a god_n and_o to_o cause_v this_o be_v particular_o attribute_v to_o he_o he_o be_v from_o this_o proper_a effect_n of_o his_o call_v holy_a or_o by_o sometime_o our_o sanctifier_n in_o like_a manner_n he_o particular_o be_v style_v spirit_n because_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o we_o inspire_v or_o breath_n into_o our_o heart_n those_o motion_n of_o love_n of_o god_n and_o such_o good_a thought_n as_o excite_v comforter_n they_o also_o he_o be_v call_v our_o comforter_n or_o paraclite_fw-la because_o nothing_o more_o hearten_v and_o comfort_v one_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o heaven_n than_o ardent_a love_n of_o it_o s._n you_o have_v show_v i_o sir_n a_o trinity_n in_o god_n but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o those_o three_o be_v nor_o how_o to_o call_v they_o you_o forbid_v i_o to_o call_v they_o three_o god_n and_o i_o can_v imagine_v what_o they_o shall_v be_v else_o common_a catechism_n and_o our_o again_o creed_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v three_o person_n but_o this_o leave_v i_o as_o wise_a as_o i_o be_v unless_o i_o understand_v what_o the_o word_n mean_v m._n why_o do_v not_o you_o understand_v what_o a_o person_n be_v s._n no_o sir_n not_o i_o m._n no_o sir_n not_o you_o and_o if_o i_o shall_v send_v you_o to_o the_o church_n person_n where_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o other_o thing_n be_v and_o when_o you_o come_v back_o ask_v you_o how_o many_o person_n be_v there_o what_o will_v you_o answer_v i_o s._n i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v there_o m._n and_o not_o how_o many_o bench_n and_o form_n and_o candlestick_n be_v or_o altar_n withal_o s._n no_o sir_n we_o do_v not_o call_v those_o person_n but_o thing_n m._n you_o see_v then_o that_o what_o in_o other_o you_o call_v a_o thing_n that_o in_o man_n you_o call_v a_o person_n for_o if_o person_n you_o be_v ask_v how_o many_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o church_n you_o will_v countpicture_n and_o form_n and_o other_o animal_n if_o any_o such_o be_v there_o and_o as_o many_o thing_n as_o you_o can_v see_v but_o be_v ask_v of_o person_n you_o will_v count_v only_a man_n and_o woman_n so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v a_o person_n then_o to_o be_v a_o rational_a or_o intelligent_a thing_n add_v then_o to_o this_o that_o as_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o accident_n in_o god_n because_o he_o be_v unchangeable_a and_o it_o follow_v his_o substance_n must_v be_v three_o some_o way_n or_o
other_o and_o three_o in_o a_o intelligent_a substance_n make_v three_o person_n s._n i_o think_v sir_n if_o a_o person_n be_v a_o thing_n there_o be_v in_o god_n three_o person_n there_o must_v also_o be_v three_o thing_n and_o then_o i_o see_v not_o how_o there_o be_v not_o three_o god_n m._n the_o mystery_n be_v very_o hard_a as_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o mystery_n yet_o your_o objection_n may_v be_v answer_v for_o though_o every_o person_n be_v a_o thing_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o every_o two_o person_n be_v yet_o two_o thing_n since_o you_o see_v that_o every_o thing_n be_v not_o a_o person_n so_o that_o there_o be_v difference_n betwixt_o the_o be_v a_o thing_n and_o be_v a_o person_n neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o whatsoever_o make_v difference_n in_o be_v a_o person_n shall_v make_v also_o difference_n in_o be_v a_o thing_n and_o so_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v different_a necessary_o person_n let_v this_o example_n help_v your_o imagination_n you_o see_v this_o three-square_a table_n be_v it_o not_o one_o thing_n s._n it_o be_v m._n and_o be_v not_o every_o corner_n of_o of_o it_o one_o corner_n and_o to_o be_v a_o corner_n be_v not_o nothing_o s._n that_o be_v likewise_o true_a m._n then_o as_o you_o see_v that_o thing_n though_o a_o corner_n be_v in_o some_o sense_n a_o thing_n yet_o three_o corner_n may_v be_v but_o one_o thing_n so_o conceive_v that_o though_o a_o person_n be_v a_o thing_n yet_o three_o person_n may_v be_v but_o one_o thing_n s._n if_o we_o may_v understand_v part_n in_o god_n as_o we_o do_v in_o the_o table_n this_o be_v well_o but_o god_n a_o spirit_n m._n what_o then_o do_v the_o table_n have_v part_n hinder_v that_o three_o part_n be_v not_o one_o thing_n and_o true_o one_o not_o many_o tide_n together_o in_o which_o lie_v the_o whole_a knot_n of_o difficulty_n if_o then_o you_o be_v content_a to_o admit_v and_o can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o that_o three_o corner_n may_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o one_o corner_n not_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o the_o whole_a thing_n take_v by_o every_o corner_n i_o do_v not_o see_v why_o in_o intelligible_a thing_n and_o so_o high_a above_o our_o capacity_n as_o god_n himself_o we_o shall_v be_v trouble_v to_o conceive_v the_o same_o which_o of_o the_o three_o person_n be_v it_o that_o take_v flesh_n or_o man_n nature_n upon_o he_o s._n the_o second_o person_n sir_n or_o nature_n the_o son_n m._n how_o be_v this_o do_v be_v god_n turn_v to_o man_n or_o man_n turn_v into_o god_n or_o both_o turn_v into_o a_o three_o thing_n when_o god_n become_v man_n s._n god_n can_v be_v change_v and_o so_o none_o of_o these_o three_o mutation_n can_v be_v make_v but_o man_n be_v join_v to_o god_n and_o so_o god_n become_v god_n man_n m._n be_v he_o join_v equal_o to_o god_n so_o that_o the_o thing_n make_v be_v equal_o god_n and_o man_n or_o no_o s._n no_o sure_a sir_n if_o god_n and_o man_n be_v in_o one_o thing_n the_o main_a thing_n man_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n and_o man_n but_o a_o small_a portion_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v if_o a_o little_a water_n be_v cast_v into_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o wine_n it_o remain_v still_o wine_n so_o since_o god_n be_v infinite_o great_a than_o man_n the_o thing_n make_v remain_v principal_o god_n m._n it_o remain_v then_o both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o see_v what_o have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v not_o man_n and_o much_o more_o what_o have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v not_o god_n in_o christ_n remain_v two_o nature_n the_o god_n nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n how_o can_v two_o nature_n remain_v in_o one_o thing_n s._n sir_n i_o can_v tell_v how_o but_o i_o see_v it_o happen_v so_o sometime_o as_o when_o a_o young_a scion_n be_v graft_v in_o a_o tree_n of_o another_o nature_n the_o same_o tree_n have_v two_o nature_n m._n you_o have_v say_v well_o and_o in_o man_n and_o thing_n better_a than_o man_n person_n as_o be_v show_v we_o call_v this_o to_o be_v join_v in_o person_n know_v you_o and_o now_o why_o the_o second_o person_n take_v man_n nature_n upon_o he_o rather_o than_o any_o other_o
