these_o four_o thing_n say_v they_o your_o doctrine_n be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o first_o in_o general_a we_o say_v that_o such_o thing_n as_o gainsay_v the_o principle_n of_o true_a reason_n be_v contrary_a to_o it_o but_o not_o those_o which_o exceed_v and_o be_v far_o above_o reason_n now_o thing_n object_v against_o by_o antitrinitarian_n do_v neither_o fight_n

that_o be_v one_o as_o it_o be_v one_o and_o in_o the_o same_o respect_n may_v be_v call_v three_o but_o god_n be_v one_o in_o nature_n and_o three_o in_o person_n the_o manner_n of_o subsist_v do_v

be_v between_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o between_o the_o essence_n and_o the_o paternity_n or_o filiation_n wherefore_o essence_n paternity_n and_o filiation_n be_v distinct_a but_o

if_o the_o adversary_n will_v argue_v thus_o the_o father_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o essence_n the_o essence_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o son_n therefore_o the_o father_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o son_n they_o will_v thereby_o conclude_v nothing_o against_o we_o for_o we_o affirm_v the_o father_n and_o son_n not_o at_o all_o to_o differ_v as_o to_o the_o essence_n but_o the_o self-being_a of_o the_o essence_n do_v not_o conclude_v for_o the_o self-being_a of_o the_o person_n wherefore_o we_o say_v it_o be_v and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o different_a respect_n upon_o a_o different_a account_n as_o to_o the_o three_o the_o paternity_n and_o the_o filiation_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o the_o essence_n but_o father_n and_o son_n have_v the_o same_o essence_n now_o

it_o be_v not_o altogether_o the_o same_o but_o if_o they_o say_v father_n and_o son_n be_v the_o same_o in_o uno_fw-la tortio_fw-la inâ—â—_n three_o we_o agree_v they_o be_v the_o same_o in_o this_o
