therefore_o his_o inference_n be_v not_o very_o plain_a 32._o that_o if_o any_o one_o of_o these_o term_n signify_v god_n they_o must_v all_o three_o signify_v god_n and_o if_o all_o three_o signify_v god_n they_o must_v all_o three_o signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n for_o god_n be_v one._n this_o be_v very_o artificial_a but_o not_o plain_a the_o consequence_n be_v plain_a that_o if_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o name_n of_o god_n they_o must_v all_o signify_v one_o god_n by_o the_o unity_n and_o sameness_n of_o nature_n because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n but_o not_o by_o the_o unity_n of_o person_n because_o the_o scripture_n mention_n three_o each_o of_o who_o be_v god_n which_o prove_v that_o god_n be_v one_o in_o nature_n but_o three_o in_o
