one_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v distract_v in_o mind_n not_o know_v who_o have_v prescribe_v that_o way_n to_o we_o and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n frequent_o admonish_v we_o of_o this_o thing_n

their_o opinion_n a._n the_o chief_a be_v these_o first_o they_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n call_v not_o only_o the_o father_n but_o also_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n god_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o same_o scripture_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n hence_o they_o gather_v that_o these_o three_o be_v that_o one_o god_n q._n how_o must_v this_o argument_n be_v solve_v a._n i_o will_v first_o make_v answer_n concern_v the_o son_n and_o then_o concern_v the_o holy_a spirit_n q._n what_o answer_n will_v you_o make_v concern_v the_o son_n a._n the_o word_n god_n be_v two_o way_n chief_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o first_o be_v when_o it_o denote_v he_o who_o both_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o on_o the_o earth_n do_v so_o rule_v and_o exercise_v

it_o design_v he_o who_o have_v some_o sublime_a dominion_n from_o that_o one_o god_n and_o so_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n partaker_n of_o his_o deïty_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o scripture_n call_v that_o one_o god_n the_o god_n of_o god_n or_o most_o high_a god_n psal_n 50._o 1._o heb._n 7._o 1._o and_o in_o the_o latter_a signification_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v in_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n dignify_v with_o the_o title_n of_o a_o god_n q._n how_o prove_v you_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v in_o this_o latter_a signification_n dignify_v with_o the_o title_n of_o a_o god_n a._n from_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o son_n himself_o john_n 10._o 35._o if_o he_o call_v they_o god_n to_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v and_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v break_v say_v you_o of_o he_o who_o the_o father_n have_v sanctify_v and_o send_v into_o the_o world_n thou_o blaspheme_v because_o i_o say_v i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o this_o speech_n christ_n do_v clear_o intimate_v both_o that_o the_o word_n god_n be_v sometime_o attribute_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o scripture_n who_o be_v far_o inferior_a to_o that_o one_o god_n as_o also_o that_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o a_o god_n for_o no_o great_a reason_n then_o because_o he_o have_v be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o father_n and_o send_v into_o the_o world_n q._n but_o what_o answer_n give_v you_o concern_v the_o holy_a spirit_n a._n the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v no_o where_n in_o the_o scripture_n express_o call_v god_n and_o though_o in_o some_o place_n the_o thing_n of_o god_n be_v attribute_v to_o he_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o thereupon_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v either_o god_n or_o a_o person_n of_o the_o deity_n since_o this_o happen_v for_o another_o cause_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v in_o in_o its_o place_n q._n what_o be_v the_o second_o argument_n wherewith_o they_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o three_o person_n in_o one_o deity_n a._n it_o be_v take_v from_o those_o place_n wherein_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n q._n which_o be_v those_o place_n a._n the_o first_o be_v that_o where_o jesus_n command_v his_o aposty_n to_o make_v all_o nation_n disciple_n baptise_v they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n mat._n 28._o 19_o the_o second_o be_v that_o where_o the_o apostle_n write_v in_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n but_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o diversity_n of_o ministery_n but_o the_o

of_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o say_v but_o all_o these_o thing_n operate_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n distribute_v to_o every_o one_o as_o he_o will_n the_o three_o be_v in_o john_n 1_o

of_o these_o quotation_n a._n in_o general_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o quotation_n only_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n which_o we_o not_o only_o acknowledge_v but_o constant_o assert_v so_o that_o we_o pronounce_v he_o to_o be_v no_o christian_n who_o be_v either_o ignorant_a thereof_o or_o do_v not_o
